EC!

Realy, I wish it was coaster its abit boring them 2 just there now.

Alton uploaded this video to youtube 3 days ago, its for Tower of terrors!

Okay so this is the penultimate in trip reports of Europa, this will be dedicated to the best woodie and best steel coaster I have ever been on and also the best river raft ride haha! We shall begin..... With Euro-Mir's soundtrack, I love it !!!! Ok, here we go! I cant remember the name of this splash battle ride but it was fun just like battle Galleons! EC! RATING: 7/10 But what is looming in the background I wonder..... ITS WODAN! Wodan and Blue Fire interlocked together! First train I see. By the way this had the longest queue of the rides I went on with 65minutes! Going in the longest queueline I have ever been in! Inside the indoor queue! Blue ICE! Cool Roof effects! SPEED!! and lots of it too! A train going down the drop incredibly fast!! The whole structure shook which I think is normal.... Such an imposing structure!! The Creepy Goddess woman thing! Train going in Wodan Style! More indoor queue. Its soooo long Wodan Dragon God Odin! Almost there! Wodan Complete!! Right I have said this to a few people now but Wodan is the best roller coaster I have EVER EVER been on! Its fast, its long, it has mega fast turns, it has an abundance of airtime and it everyone even enthusiasts screaming their head off, I can't say how wonderful this ride is, Like Thrillseekeralex I thought as it was a 1.2m restriction I thought it would be mundane but I was SO wrong Its the only ride that has made my gramps cry and scream in terror! Its everything I wanted and more from this ride so I am technically cheating here but Wodan get an EC! RATING:11/10 Its that good it deserves an extra point! Next up Blue Fire! More Blue Fire! The Banked turn! The Review Ok So this is the Best Steel coaster I have been on, the fact it has lapbars makes it so much fun and you can flail your arms as much as you please, The launch is Rita Intense which is fun but it runs rings around Stealth and Rita. The loops are intense and the vertical loop gives great hangtime! The themeing is also fantastic and it offers great headchoppers like the diving under the Wodan structure and the rock tunnel between the vertical loop and the backed turn. it is such a fantastic coaster and I just wish one day the UK gets a mack coaster as they are Class EC! RATING: 10/10 MY 2 old men on Fjord rafting! Dad and gramps got absolutely soaked on this ride almost Tidal wave soaked ! The Review. This is by far the best river rafting ride I have been on you get so wet and it so really well themed and has a decent length, its better then congo river rapids at alton because of the sher abmount of water feature on the ride to make you wet, funny thing was I was the only dry one, my cousin got soaked too haha EC! RATING: 8/10 Okie dokie I shall end this part here, the last part will be tomorrow, when I finally ride a certain Silver Star! untill then toodel hoo!

I'm sure many have seen this but this is the official video to Applause. Odd as ever!

Everyone enjoyed Speed and here is the photo to prove it! (sorry for the idiots at the back left flipping the birdie ) And Megafobia with my crappy photo retake skills! Both in the dark

They may be more comfortable for you but they certainly aren't for others B&M ones included, they would never compete against the wing riders and like Benin said GCI woodies and from what I have heard RMC's for that matter are very very smooth rides so if I had to, I'd choose the woodie any day of the week plus they have tonnes more airtime.

Because the Last stand up coaster was built in the 90's when the last woodie was built this this year and the last megacoaster last year, those 2 types of ride are immensely popular because its a favourite with the enthusiasts and the GP alike I admit the last woodie built was 16 years ago but woodies are getting more and more popular as they have tonnes more airtime then a stand-up and same goes with a megacoaster. These are the only coaster types along with stand up that haven't been done and the reason why I doubt stand up very much is that in the most part they arent very well received, I haven't heard anyone say that Shockwave is fantastic because it isn't and most feel it uncomfortable atleast with woodies they have become smoother over the years and have more exciting layout and that is why most enthusiasts want a woodie because most not all but most are highly regarded Including the likes of Wodan, Megafobia, Tonnere De Zeus and Gold striker among the lot and again the same with megacoasters most are highly regarded unlike Stand ups which aren't. I know its preference that people do like stand ups but its one that will most likely will not happen. Plus Benin has been on a few so he and others know they aren't that comfortable. WOODIE ALL THE WAY for me

Ok so part 2 is here and I shall start with this photo Poseidon It is In this photo in all it Greeky glory! Later on in the day because I took barely any snaps of this ride. SO onto the review POSEIDON This was a very good ride and was quite fun BUT and its a big but.... it had some of the worst jolts I have ever come across, one was so violent I headbutted my gramps who was sitting next to me and we both came off saying "well that hurt alot!" Apart from that I liked it I didnt love it but I liked it and the 2nd part was fun also but I was expecting to get wetter tbh EC! RATING: 6.5/10 Lovely Historama monorail that enters england and all A very good replica of the the Golden globe and a Massive pink bear seems to be in mid flight!! SILVERSTONE!! By this point we had food, Fish and Chips to be exact! I know very German but it was very good and tasty EC FOOD RATING: 8/10 The historama with the Food Loop inside but it had a 40 minute queue just to get a seat!!! So I thought sod that and had me fish and chips We are in Russia as this is their russian satellite thing. On to Euro Mir! in all of its spinny twisty hugeness. Twisty Train! THE REVIEW!! Well I thought This was to be a slightly mundane coaster with a fancy lift hill.... Boy was I wrong, it feels so much higher then it looks and you look like your sitting over the edge of the track which makes it more terrifying and the most fun thing was that we took the drop backwards which was terrifying the trains then turned forward and then all hell broke loose it was SO INTENSE and I'm not joking the speed it took those turns was absolutely insane, the G-force felt Nemesis intense which is a bonus, I can safely that this ride made my gramps and my Dad a bit sick afterwards but they loved it and were laughing at the end which makes it such an enjoyable ride! EC! RATING:9/10 I shall leave you with a ride I didn't go on which was a shame but in the penultimate Installment you shall see me on the best wooden coaster and best steel coaster I have EVER been on! (Blue Fire and Wodan: Timburcoaster ) Until then toodal pip

This is Miley Cyrus' second single from album Bangerz and Sounds very different to We Can't Stop. What do you think?

Same here I'm so up for this!

Yeah from a distance it might hamper the view of stealth but it doesn't really matter as long as it isn't like 10 ft smaller then stealth then there is no need to flap I mean the new ride will be nearly 50ft smaller the Stealth so it wont affect it that much, its just The Swarm blocks Stealth from the entrance but thats not to say the next coaster will because it will probably will be in a different less intrusive spot.

Ahhh I know but its hard to wait 80 minutes for that ride when most other rides had 50-60 minute queues. I will make it number 1 priority next time I go. I will have to go with some of you lot next time as most of the school mates haven't heard of the place haha.

This was Space Jump at Oakwood, Peaj and TopsyTurvy15 are the stars and Peaj seems to let out a funny yelp

Sorry for double post but this was taken on its opening year in 1996!

Hi guys so I said I would start this eventually and now I am !! Yes! Finally I am doing this. I have to say before I start I did not go on Eurosat (it had an 80 minute queue most of the day, don't ask me why I have no clue, maybe it broke??) Pegasus (looked ok but wasnt prepared to wait 30 minutes) and Alpen express (was closed all day) for the reasons I have specified haha! Right lets start! Entered the park to a nice greeting by Silver Star! I was then kindly greeted by that mouse mascot thing, by this point I couldn't see because the sun got Florida strong and I'm not kidding!! My good ol' I don't want to be in this photo pose Plus the sun started to burn at this point! From this point I could see why people preferred it to Thorpe,its so clean and pretty The Jazz Band unfortunately weren't playing when I walked past This is about as close as I got to this Ball of fun, STUPID QUEUES First Coaster! MATTERHORN BLITZ: This was a great little ride to start with and I loved the slow but odd lift thing, the ride its self was good and I loved the drop but then I have never been the biggest fan of wild mouses although this is the best of bunch I have been on. EC! Rating: 6/10 I'm so goos with the high speed shots... NOT Next Up SCHWEIZER BOBBAHN (I think thats it!) This I really enjoyed I thought it looked a bit slow and boring from the videos on the Youtube but I enjoyed my self very much and was very twisty which is a bonus, the only drawback was how much it vibrated... It was like sitting on a washing machine on full pelt haha but apart from that it was great EC! RATING: 7/10 Look at my happy face My gramps enjoyed it alot too This is where I will leave you lot for now ! Part 2 will be tomorrow! Some of the images won't be mine because I whored Wodan a bit too much to realise I only took 2 photos of poseidon Oh well till tomorrow toodle pip !

Sorry for the double post but the first piece of track is up

More Updates!!

I have seen other forums do this when I have snooped over, and I have seen top 10 best coasters on here, so lets talk about the worst coasters we have been on. It doesn't have to be a top 10 as per say, just one particular coaster you hate with a passion and say why you hate it. The one coaster I hate is Space Mountain in DLP, the last time I went on it I felt like my head had been violated and I had a bad migraine for about 3 hours afterwards. Yeah its not one I'm going to go on again. SO what's yours!

Whiplash.... They better not, I'd rather the also silly idea of actors in the back but I would want that, just actors roaming around.

Well that would reduce throughputs! Saw is incredibly busy as it is without closing off the back row for actors. It would fun but silly tbh.

You forget this is Oakwood's busiest periods and the fact summer nights is an add on when its free for oakwood then of course the queues will be quieter. Oakwood dont make people leave after 6pm and the fact there are alot less rides, and megafobia was closed for fireworks because I dont think anyone wants a firework launched into their face tbh because the fireworks were right next to it (fireworks and wood I know stupid ) Summer nights will always be better but its a bit silly comparing something a smaller park offers to what a large one does because the larger park will always have the resourcesto make it better.

I'm updating this now! 1)Wodan Timbur Coaster: For all the reasons Alex said above its sheer fun and terror wrapped into one and its so fast and for a 1.2!? ROCK ON GCI! 2) Megafobia: Oh yes I'm a woodie fanboy, its gotten so much better over the years and its almost on par with Wodan,its so fun and terrifying at the same time with alot of good airtime its just fantastic! 3) Blue Fire: Unlike Nemesis, I found this beyond lived up to the hype, it was so fast and smooth and intense and the loops are amazing. Love it! 4) Speed: I know its a cheap Gerst but its by far the best, at night its so good and peaj said when it was warmed up, Speed was better then Saw and I feel thats an acheivement in its self 5) Silver Star: The shear height of the thing was a bonus but the speed and the airtime put it here, fantastic ride, well worth anyqueue time for me great! 6)Euro-mir/The Smiler: both these rides are twisty spinny and very disorientating, it wasnt a surprise with the coasters above Smiler took a tumble but great rides I cant deside wether are better or not. 7) Kraken: Great ride, my first looping rideso fond memories there its fun and intense, really like it! 8) Air: I love this ride it is very relaxing but is the most fun ride in the UK and I do prefer it to Nemesis! 9)Nemesis: I was underwhelmed but I was in abit of a naff seat, its a fantastic ride, I just need to get to the front, it wont beat the woodies for me but it might have a crack at Speed we have to wait and see! 10) Nemesis Inferno: the layout is generic but its very intense and I do have a soft spot for inferno as it is my favourite ride at Thorpe Park! Yeah my recent trips to Oakwood and Europa, it has been mixed up alot and my woodies now stand proud on the top 2 positions

both got about 8 to 10 mph faster at night after they warmed up, I was told speed was running at about 66mph and they had to stop it so it could cool down because it was going too fast over the airtime hil a mechanic told me haha, andd megafobia got to about 57mph I was told which made it so much more fun. Megafobia was mine, phill's, topsyturvy'sand matt creeks favourite ride it was so good yesterday. EDIT: No joke I have bruises from how fast and ferosiously it few us into the airtime hill haha
