Or it's all just Towers putting in FAKE CLUES to get the clearly bored enthusiasts excited about this. SAD!- A Gold Rush To The Fall of Phantasialand: Operation BillyBird
The BillyBird cred is so daft, I'd love to have ridden it more if it wasn't for the stupid climb back up to the station... Movie Park does have a bad rep, though I wonder if that's a leftover from the days before it had anything good? Bandit is bloody terrible though, however not as awful as Coaster Express... I'd be happy to see that entire end of the park levelled tbh...- A Gold Rush To The Fall of Phantasialand: Operation BillyBird
Also I'm sure there is a "definitive ending" on Feng Ju where the couple embrace (but because of how suddenly it ends if you blink you'll miss it)...- A Gold Rush To The Fall of Phantasialand: Operation BillyBird
Jesus Christ a person who dislikes Phantasialand! Slagharen has a fab little dark ride, but that's all you missed, besides, only one other park on the same day? Pfft, I did 4 when I did Slagharen (and it DOES annoy me that I have to revisit)... But trying to do not even half a day at Phannyland is ridiculous at the best of times, let alone a big event day... It's definitely a culture thing, and probably works better given that the parks tend to be open for decent periods during busy days...- The Big Bad Movie Topic
The VVitch is one of the most over-rated pieces of boring tosh I've had the misfortune to see... Can someone who loves it please actually go into some actual depth of their own opinion as to why it's so good?- Chessington Howl'o'ween
It's a bit grim and nonsensical really... Think a lot of parks forget that adding stuff just for the sake of adding stuff isn't always the best solution to something... Though that has made me imagine a what if the Vampire lift hill was completely enclosed, you'd be deaf by lift 2 sure, but would probably have some potential...- Fright Nights 2017
What is this I don't even?- Chessington Howl'o'ween
There a pic of this? Sounds like the old Great Wall tarp they put up on Dragon Falls a few years back...- Rant
Most tend to have a sort of 'queue jump' system nowadays where if it does reject you you get led directly to a person... I love the plane rush because it's SO ridiculous, though it only been down to the allowing actual luggage on the flights and people MUST have it in the overheads... People watching is so fun when travelling anywhere though really...- Chessington Howl'o'ween
They're all crap...- Park Operations
It's not about stalling though is it? Can't imagine Vortex would like a strong gust of wind hitting it, whereas Zodiac would probably fall apart...- The Swarm
- Cedar Point
Mean Streak was bloody terrible, glad it's finally gone so I never have to experience the awfulness again... I mean, this could have literally been a Wacky Worm and it still would've been an improvement...- Silver Dollar City
*voms* Someone needs to stop allowing Roland on No Limits when drunk...- Wicker Man
I wonder how much of that was down to the ground survey team getting it completely wrong?- Wiener Prater Trip Report
- Wicker Man
Don't get me started on them completely ignoring the REAL SW6 valley coaster woodie... Are we surprised they'd focus on the pre-show/theme given that there's bugger all to the ride portion? Also one of the images is a TIE Fighter...- Wiener Prater Trip Report
Volares are VILE contraptions... Prater is a weird place, it'd be tonnes better if there was some form of wristband system though, getting all the creds is such a wallet eater; but it's obvious why they have it like that... It's a shame cos there were a few other rides I would've happily done if I'd paid say, €20-30 (maybe even €40, since there is a tonne of stuff around) to do so... Shame you didn't do the Boomerang and it's terrifying restraint system though... Best permanent ride there (I went when Olympia Looping was around last year) is Megablitz though, purely because it's firmly beyond the mediocre category that the rest of the park sits in...- Disneyland Paris
It'd be nice if DLP ever got the rides that they deliberately left space for (Indiana Jones dark ride for the example), or a Splash Mountain/Grizzly River Run ride in Frontierland... Let's be honest, they need a clone of the Beauty and the Beast ride Tokyo is getting...- Phantasialand
Look infinitely more comfortable that the original Flying Dutchman restraints... https://rcdb.com/2514.htm#p=65470 Be interesting to see how comfortable they are though, certainly not as bulky as Air's but potentially allows a bit more in the way of freedom like the Wing-Riders/Invert/whatever other vest restraint B&M are doing on...- The News
Well we live in a world where we don't condemn the actions of those who follow Nazi ideology so who knows where the line is drawn?- Alton Towers General Discussion
I've never understood the wearing passes around necks thing... It's ASKING for them to be nicked or something... One of the worst times was when Chessie (and I think maybe the others?) had the novel idea of allowing MAP holders to use the Fastrack queues for the last hour of the summer holiday... Needless to say the arrogance and downright anger because everyone took use of it meant it never happened again...- Fantasy Football 2017/18
- Heide Park
It really wasn't that great, last time I rode it it bounced around a few parts as well... I think there's a lack of soul to the Intamin prefabs as well, over engineering removing some of the charm and flaws that wooden coasters work well on... I'm so non plussed at the idea of Colossos being spited... - Wicker Man
