I'd say Inferno is easier to actually get on in the first place, whereas Swarm is generally better for a first timer.

One thing I'll say, the thought of going upside down beforehand can be daunting. But when you actually experience it, you'll be surprised on how "not scary" it is. You've ridden Dragon's Fury, therefore you can definitely ride Swarm, Nemesis Inferno, maybe Colossus (it's got very rough), Dragon Khan, maybe Shambhala and many many more. There are rides which are more intense/scary, but don't let Dragon's Fury be your limit, be adventurous. At PA, it'll be a one chance opportunity, really take it as much as possible. Shambhala is my number 1 coaster and I have no doubt it could be your number 1 as well. Remember, once you leave PA, you won't go back for a long time. I've been waiting over 5 years to go back to Europa, and it still won't probably be at least another 4 years.

I am "straight" but honestly I don't think that's the right word to use, as it implies being "gay" is not the norm. Well there's no such thing as normal so I'd rather use the correct terms heterosexual and homosexual. And as you can tell, none of those are more normal than the other. They're simply equal and opposite. Either way, I'm glad that awareness of this has increased significantly and I'm glad that more and more people are not afraid of admitting it. In my ideal world, people wouldn't need to be afraid to admit homosexuality because it would be just as normal as heterosexuality.

Here are some pic my brother took at Six Flags: (For some reason, it wouldn't let me post that last image in it's actual quality)

As of now, I'm free on the 17th so I'll be attending. So... Shotgun front on Olympia Looping!

Having done theory, I can easily say that the stuff you do in the book is nowhere near as hard as the questions asked on the papers. Just do lots of past papers and you will be fine. I remember I found theory fairly stressful when practicing, etc. But when it got to the exam, I couldn't be any more relaxed. I then ended up with a distinction A pass is about 66/100 I think so the standards of passing are quite low. The questions are basically the same each time except with different notes (and worlds for the song question, which is optional). So you'll be absolutely fine when you get to the exam. Plus, the invidulators are very laid back.

I remember it costing £9 to ride Blizzard back in 2013, so I'd expect it would cost at least £10 as this is clearly a bigger attraction than Blizzard (when it was a turbine rather than a capriolo).

Vox Gabrieli, I will also be doing C Saint Saens (when it arrives from amazon).

During the summer whilst waiting for DBGT, a staff member doing a survey on coffee brands actually asked me which brand I would like to see at the park. I chose Costa, purely because I go to Costas more than any over brand (I've been to Starbucks probably about once in the last two years) and I love their hot chocolates. So an unpopular opinion... I'm actually delighted to hear that Costa Coffee could possibly be coming to Thorpe Park.

(I apologise for the double post, it was only for the sake of alerting this topic as editing the last post would lead to no one reading it) Just got one of my Grade 8 trombone pieces. It's 4 pages long... To put it in comparison, my grade 7 pieces were no longer than about a page and a quarter.

I just don't seem convinced that this isn't a con, I won't order one till there are good reviews and unboxings by well known theme park youtubers.

3 and a half hours standing still waiting for Platform? My legs would've given way by then, waiting an hour and half for Big Top was hard enough! I can see why you got the "Most Dedicated" award

9/10 Bubbleworks was a great memorable ride, and that must mean something if you read my signature (I know I've mentioned my signtaure lots recently). Keeling the spirit alive, I like it

What a year it has been for this ride! Being its 10th anniversary, followed by being closed for over a month with multiple downtime moments beforehand. Except on reopening, roaring back to life and taking the spot of my favourite coaster at Thorpe Park. I even rode it 10 times in one day this September, queuing 30 mins for a total of 6 times (the first 4 rides at the beginning of the day were walk ons). Just hearing about the TVs testing makes me feel even more hopeful for this ride next year.

The last time I was at Chessington, I didn't see it have a single successful run. Every time I saw it cycle, it had to stop in some shape or form, even I was stuck on it for about 15 minutes. Honestly, if it's not going to get any better, I think they should remove it. Standard top spins just don't seem to be as good as they used to be. Many more flat rides now dominate, especially with Mondial lurking about.

These two factors are what divide theme park enthusiasts, there will be people who prefer roller coasters to dark rides or vice versa or maybe even both. As you may know by my signature as of November 2016, I prefer the physical feeling you get at amusement parks as opposed to the theme given. I'm not saying I don't like theme because when it's done with a good physical experience, I absolutely love it (e.g. Space Mountain: Mission 2 or Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror). To summarise, my top 15 isn't made by the theme of the roller coasters but instead the actual force by them. So my questions to you all: Do you prefer the feeling of being out of control and experiencing physical forces you may not normally encounter? Or do you prefer being immersed in a different world aside ours, being part of the fantasy that is the theme?

7/10 somewhat visually appealing. But I haven't ridden Galactica since 2015 (when it was air without VR) so I may dislike the re-theme, so I don't want to give too high a score.

My AS DT project for this year...

If Wildfire came first (when it had permits), how do they even have rights to tear it down?

I've never actually noticed that observation about my dad before lol I guess he does
