    It's fascinating how many of us have now managed to get over to Cedar Point over the last year and how all of our experiences have been so completely different. It really highlights how unique all our coaster experiences are. Whilst I'm not necessarily in line with your views (TTD really annoys me for example), I have huge respect for your love of Arrow rides. When I rode Magnum, at first I was terrified but on the second each air time filled moment was filled with joy and I came away with it being a highlight. 

     

    What other multi launch coasters have you done? Whilst Maverick is a great ride, there are elements of it I find.. frustrating.

    The other multi-launch coasters I have been on are Taron, Icon and Helix.  The only one that comes close to Maverick for me is Taron, the Mack ones feel as though they're missing something IMO (it's probably down to the fact that I generally prefer rides with more "kick" to them rather than the smooth graceful nature of Mack coasters).

     

    The trim brake did annoy me on Maverick, other than that I couldn't really fault it.

    Glad you enjoyed Efteling.

     

    Definitely a lovely park with much charm and atmosphere. Their park music is excellent.

     

    Joris is is definitely a fun great ride, and probably my second favourite Woodie and best duelling ride I’ve probably done. Dutchman is definitely fantastic and features what is arguably one of the best ride stations out there.

     

    Glad you liked Python, I’m yet to do it since the retrack. I love Symbolica, Dream Flight, Bird Rock and Symbolica. Did you do Fata Morgana, Villa Volta and Carnaval?

     

    I know Baron’s drop isn’t the best but as a ride package I think it’s excellent.

     

    Bob for me personally was the weakest coaster, so you didn’t miss much IMO.

    I did Carnival, unfortunately Fata Morgana and Villa Volta were closed for maintenance.

    I couldn't imagine spending eight days at any one theme park, let alone the pleasure beach so I suppose you deserve credit for your.. bravery. 

     

    I don't agree with you on Streak. I love Big Dipper, Wildmouse and National but find the Streak so tiresome and could name a handful of better family roller coasters in the UK, many already at the Pleasure Beach. Also can't believe the Big One is your favourite roller coaster. That thought sends me flying.

     

    Thanks for the report CJ :)

    Any other theme park I would probably get bored of after about 5 days, but BPB is my favourite park and I could have happily spent another 8 days there!

    Nick Streak does (like all woodies) have off days so it's possible that you rode it when it wasn't running well, as when it's running well it has quite a lot of airtime in the back.

     

    I really must get myself there again soon. Having been spited by Nash twice it is probably the biggest coaster in the UK I've not ridden. I hve to agree with Marks thought about your favourite coaster; I do love a lot of what is at BPPB, PMBO sucks balls though.

    I appreciate that some people don't like it but I still find it brilliant fun, and the first drop is still unrivalled by any other coaster in my opinion.  I know that the rest of it doesn't have as much airtime as some people would like (although it still has some when it's running well), but I still really like the sense of speed and the feeling of being pulled quickly over the hills when sat in the back.
