    Never sleeping again if it means I still don't feel tired. Coke or Pepsi?
  2. CharlieN replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Cheetahs or Perigean Falcons?

    No, Vekoma SFCs do not swing.
  4. Osbornes budget is a right laugh. The whole academy thing is one of the most preposterous proposals I've ever heard. Currently I have braces - they're not train tracks that don't seems to affect you, but retainers which make me practically dumbfounded as I cannot pronounce any words with 'S's. Due to this, I have been micky taken so many times with people impersonating me by just slobbering. I wouldn't call this bullying as it isn't intend to be malicious, just a joke. However, I am extremely sensitive and I cannot stand being the subject of people's jokes. I am powerless over my brace and I am beginning to get extremely self conscious...
  5. Great report! It was nice to see such an in depth report of a park I knew nothing about.
  6. The ejector on this looks insane - as does the theming, the launches, all the S turns and everything else about this ride. It looks like it may have have the capability of being one of the best coasters in Europe and for once I believe I have seen a ride with that's has nothing missing. Take my money Phantasialand!

    I'm sorry Muse fans, I love Radiohead! And Blur over Oasis too. X or Hex?
  8. CharlieN replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Grand National. Snooker or darts?
  9. CharlieN replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Dinosaurs because they actually existed. Top Spin or Top Scan?
  10. I strangely think this looks like loads of fun. It's it tall, it's steep, it's fast, it looks to have a plent of airtime and it's WET! Hopefully I'll make the trip to this park sometime in the future.

    That is a pretty classy ad for a small park. The Lost Kingdom is now giving me a reason to want to go to the park.
  12. CharlieN replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Pancakes. Lap bars or OTSR?
  13. CharlieN replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Pixar Left or right?
  14. I usually avoid Detonator because it looks so short and tame, but on my last visit, I did it. It was insane, the intensity was overwhelming and knowing that it pulls 5.5G didn't help. Due to this, I used to be scared to go on other drop towers, but when I did them, they were absolutely fine and I conquered my fear with ease. Anyway, I'm just trying to make 2 points here: 1. Fears are usually triggered by a frightening experience that makes you nervous about repeating it. 2. Start with the tamist, and then work your way up. Don't start with detonator like I did (or Colossus in your case) because it will give you a false idea of what inversions are like. This could then frighten you further, to the point that you don't want to go any coasters with inversions. This could be paralleled, to a boy in my class. He was petrified of going on a trampoline but we all told him that it would be fine, it's safe and he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do. He got on, he was shaking and then he fell off, due to this bad event, he received false ideas about trampolines and never went on them again.
  15. I knew on March 14th 2009
  16. If anyone has a VR headset I highly recommend getting the Valravn VR app. Of all the VR coasters on the market, this is clearly the most sophisticated and detailed. It provides numerous views of CP from the lift hill too.

    Impossible. Simply impossible.
  18. They made my friend's dad delete the photo he took of one of the onride photos from Rumba Rapids.
  19. CharlieN replied to Adam J's topic in General Discussion
    On Colossus it isn't.
  20. I am officially hyped for this. Track is enough to get me really excited. Is the track Intamin?
  21. CharlieN replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Les miserables. Food or drink?
  22. The scariest part of The Smiler was avoiding having an epileptic fit in the queue.
  23. CharlieN replied to Cringle's topic in Nonsense
    Meerkats. It was a "simples" decision. Dinoconda or Eejanaika? (Arrow 4d coasters for those who don't know!)
  24. Great! I am glad Galactica is reviewing some positive reviews. This makes me marginally more optimistic about my trip to Towers this Summer.
  25. I believe it will combine the Victorian theme with a modern day, London Underground theme (Possibly Derren's illusion, time travel or another method of transferring between 1871 and now ). Images of the VR content also showed some creatures in a modern city.
