I'd suggest re-wording your post then Safe to say that first drop is good though... Clearly is world class since Expedition G-Force does it too

On a personal level, I could never really count a ride's lift hill alone as world class... Especially when the reasoning for it being such is a trait shared by all other hyper coasters (and some other ride types as well)...

I dunno, never ridden them... Millenium Force and Expedition G-Force do suffer from it...

Nope, like most big rides, it suffers from great first drop, dull rest of layout syndrome... See also most Intamin Hypers... Only ride Alice 2-3 times a year? After my first go on it last year it's turned into a must ride whenever I visit it <3

That's the vertical lift then... Still holding out for a launched first lift

See with it expiring it's a bit silly, as it means that most people might not be able to use it... Make it for all year then they'd get some money from it... And please, for the analogy, it's like winning an apple pie </3

Better than not winning anything though, and it's something that could come in handy (£10 for the Fastrack Silver package is decent tbh if there's 60 minute queues on everything as an example)... Though no doubt it's got an expiry date on it, at least it's SOMETHING...

Damn Towers for producing a random unadvertised prize when only a select few (if there's more than 1 winner of the VIP tour) will actually win those prizes advertised... I might moan at McDonald's since I wanted 50k of cash and all I got was a free McMuffin voucher...

In your opinion... Mine (and others) differ in that the Colossus sound also can sound really diabolical... I don't think much can beat a B&M roar audible from the opposite end of a huge valley for intimidation levels too... Indeed the B&M roar in itself is one of the most iconic noises in the industry...

To be fair, Colossus does make a HORRID noise off the lift hill... Unique, but horrid... Even the roar is rattley too...

Looks like I might well be making an appearance to this now (avec Nicky)... In addition, I might need some delightfully happy volunteers to make fools of themselves on camera for a couple of seconds for this competition thing I'm a part of that needs to take place on park, it won't take long at all and could be a decent advertisement for TPM as a plus [/shameless plugging] But yeah, I'll be there...

PILLS HERE!! Creds to TowersStreet

3 legs down, 2 to go... This will probably look HUGE in real-life and with the theming elements attached...

Theme park food in being rubbish shocker!

Reason why I set myself an 11pm laptop shut off time... Set a routine, follow it to seriousness, then eventually the body will adapt... Simple stuff...

DAT RIDE OPENING! God our parks are so turd at times...

I'll also mention that ride staff aren't always efficient with changing queue time boards... This is very obvious at the end of the day when the queue time is 10x higher than the actual queue, meaning a quicker turnover and hometime...

Edited for accuracy...

Why do we need one of those when we have Storm Surge?

In other small parks getting an immense dark ride section on their small coasters making the UK's look like crap news... Bellawerde's Huracan is open!

I'd rather see NWO as an Intamin Blitz...

ALL HAIL THE GLORIOUS OVER-REACTION! Seriously, these trains are actually MILES different design wise to the old style EuroFighter trains (each row is actually separate, a la B&M)... In a way, this may cause even GREATER difference to them and hence judgement reserved till later... And of course, not every ride (Gerstlauer or other) with OTSRs is rough...
