Colossus
The only ride I have been on, and had to brace myself is the Ultimate at Lightwater Valley.That section straight off the 2nd drop is so uncomfortable. I ride a lot of coasters with my arms up, but I would'nt dare on that one. Plus some of the bends are'nt even cambered, so it tends to slam me into the side of the train.

Parks, Rides And Coaster News
Having been to Knoebels earlier this year, it's hard not to notice the water level markers dotted around the park.The park seems to flood on a regular basis, and I have heard the staff start clear up straight away.

Hehe, I saw 2 lorries going down the main road in Pigeon Forge when I was over there in June. One with track and one with supports.Nice to see construction progressing though. Nice addition to a fantastic park.

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
I'm sure when something major happens that we will be informed.I imagine it's only footers being constructed at the moment, and the continuing work on the station.

Rush
Out of the 3 Swings I have done, I actually prefer the one at Kennywood, as it seemed to swing higher than both Rush and Barnstormer. The themeing on Barnstormer was brilliant though, with Kennywoods not being themed, being an amusement park, and a bloody good one aswell. You can keep Pleasure Beach Blackpool

THE SWARM: Construction Updates
Let's hope the "relief" path actually gets finished, unlike the one they started for Saw.Is there any chance of that path actually opening, or have they abandoned the idea?

Queue Jumpers!
A black guy nearly pushed my mum over when she confronted him in the Stealth Queue. My mum is'nt that young either. Him and his group were quickly ejected from the park by park security.
