Yep, the splash zone is good if the queue is really bad

Efteling
Yes, I remember Vogel Rok, a very good dark coaster if I remember rightly, as I went there in 2006.I was'nt overly impressed with Pegasus, their Woodie, I found it very uncomfortable.The landscaping is superb though, and also liked Bobbaan.

SAW: The Ride
Sorry, I meant the level bit of track before you go into the Immelmann loop, not on the drop itself.
-
SAW: The Ride
I would have thought they would have placed as you level out from the first drop. Would have made more sense really.

Rodger The Dodgers Dodgems
"That's a nice car you got there""I'll see you later" Best dodgems I have been on, but don't like the lap bar

Rush
Hope it stays like that.

And a nice pub it is too

Flamingo Land
I have been there a few times in the past. Not a bad park, with some pretty good rides, especially Velocity, the Vekoma Motorbike launch coaster

Paultons Park
Yeah, me and Mum did think that was the reason. Made good video though

Saw- Construction Thread
I was there today aswell, very disappointed, but at least they opened up Rush and Colossus, 2 of my favorite rides, then went with the rest of the RCCGB'ers to the Hungry Horse pub up the road.

Paultons Park
You have a good point. The Edge seems to have had a lot of sucsessful test runs. I will be heading there to try it this saturday.I have to admitt, Paultons is the only park I have been to where testing has been that good, they open the ride earlier than advertised.I did'nt think I was moaning, I think it gives the park a good record.

Thanks for posting the POV included video, and I agree with the dive loop, looks a bit tight, and very fast.Can't wait till thursday

Paultons Park
How come it opened early? Thought it said the 14th on the park map

Dammit, I missed it. Might see if it's on bbc iplayer later.

Park Map
I like what they have done for Saw, with the blades on the first drop and the puddle of blood on the floor below it.

Saw- Construction Thread
I could just about hear the evil puppet noises, but the music from Colossus seemed to drown it out a lot :DAnd just found out, thanks to Andy Hine MBE, chairman of the RCCGB that I will be riding Saw on the 12th of this month, thanks to a club members competition. I think I am one of 5 members. Woohooooooo!!!

I have had one blackout on Nemesis at Alton. I think it was on the downward helix before the zero G roll.

Stealth
After the park shuts, we have Saw for a whole hour. It's called an ERS, Exclusive ride session.As tpkabz said, a ride take over is just where we gather at a ride in a big group and get a few rides in, it's not an official takeover, it's optional.

I'm not bothering to go anywhen before the RCCGB trip on the 21st. I'm going to be riding Edge at Paultons on the 14th.

I like my Nemesis Inferno mug, it's one of the old ones though, which says red hot inside. A coffee in that each morning wakes me up no worries

Best themed ride
Thanks for putting those thumbnails up Mark9, brought back a lot of happy memories, especially the Mine Train.

Best themed ride
I like the Army camp theme of Expedition G force at Holiday Park in Germany.The thing is, I have been to Europa Park and Phantasialand in Germany, and it's not only the rides that are well themed, the whole park is.Black Mamba, for example, not only is it the best B&M Inverter I have ever been on, they spent as much money on the themeing as they did the ride.Their parks make ours look like travelling fairs. Sounds harsh but it's my opinion.

Oakwood
* Indulges in past memories of riding Megafobia in the dark with no public, I love club trips Definatley a good little park, nice friendly atmosphere and a bobsled run which is rather fun in the rain.I think this park has a lot of potential to keep up with the times, ie, Speed- no limits. I would love to see the park add another wooden coaster to compliment Megafobia.UK's version of Holiday World in the States?

The RCCGB, which I'm in, will be at the park with an ERS on Saw on the 21st march, but I will have ridden it by then, hopefully.
