What Was The First Big Coaster You Went On In The UK
Matt 236 replied to slendercat's topic in General Discussion
Does the Dragon at Legoland Windsor count? That ride was my childhood. Never was I so obsessed about a ride before like that one, from its majestic queue line and station, mysterious soundtrack amongst the combination of roller coaster and dark ride. -
All depends on the job and career front for me and probably won't best 2016. Abroad wise should hopefully be getting to Port Aventura (at long last) alongside a return visit to Efteling too as Symbolica is calling. An express trip to Asterix should also be on the cards and at least one trip to Disney will probably pop up too. Returns to Liseberg, Europa and/or Phantasialand are not impossible but we shall see. Anything else is very wishful thinking. UK wise, really want to nail down the Yorkshire lot and will probably visit all the Merlin lot again (regardless of what flaws may come). Blackpool and Oakwood are extra. Have no desire to return to Drayton, but not ruled out.

Done and voted. Looks like I may have tasks if I win stuff this time.

It means they don't want and need to show the public what they are doing as what happens with ride is upto them. Yes, because messaging a park requesting for photos of a restricted area is clearly going to happen.
-
Yes, lets see Towers waste even more money on an expensive and temperamental selection of phone monitors. Personally I'd much rather they ditched the VR altogether and bring back Air. The station, portal and soundtrack can stay though as they're acceptable.

Double Post, but apparently it won't only be Python that will be receiving major updates next year but the Dutchman too. Apparently areas of the outdoor track are to be replaced due to wear and tear from the splash features. Full article can be seen here http://www.looopings.nl/weblog/6454/Opknapbeurt-voor-Vliegende-Hollander-Pagode-Sneeuwwitje-en-Draak-in-de-Efteling.html?coockie=accepted If that wasn't enough, the Gondola, lake boats and the Snow White and Dragon sections in Fairy Tale Forest are also receiving some excessive TLC. With the park turning 65 next year the park the park is certainly doing a great job with updates.

Looks like Mack are now starting to take on the Premier/Maurer market. However in Mack style, they look to be onto another exceptional creation. Get one of these into a smaller UK park pronto!
-
That looks Efteling amazing. A little reminscent of Plopsa's teacups and Mystic Manor but looks to retain the amazing park quality. As for the Python retracking, it feels a strange and excessive rule,considering how smooth it already is. But if Efteling are up for refurbing their classic ride, let them doing it! It's great how such a park looks after things new and old and doesn't really neglect anything (I'm saying nothing).

Thsnks for the report. Denmark is certainly a place I strongly intend to visit for its culture (amongst it's parks). Particularly Tivoli, Billund Lego and Djurs. Only thing really putting me off is I've heard Copenhagen is really expensive and people spending over £100 for simple things in just a day. Call me guilty on 2/3 of the above.

Because Rocky rules. Rocky is Canada Creek, Old Town isn't.
-
Merlin need to make quite a few word firsts. Because attraction names need to be of acceptable quality. The derelict ride is never a great name.
-
Very good news for the woodie as it was the best ride there and worth the effort for the park alone. Evolution is no real loss if it's gone. Never liked the look of it anyway.
-
Me when Rumba receives the extensive refurbishment it deserves.
-
Banned for dissing Inferno. She may not be the best invert out there but she's still a great coaster.
-
INFERNO WINS! Big congrats to the fiery coaster. Suprised. How many were wet for Tidal Wave though. Second place? Wow, just wow! Good to see this years game not seeing too many people flipping out I guess and not ending with Slammer winning.
