Right that settles it, I'm riding Katun and Alpina Blitz no matter what in 2018! From my early stalker days (or the better days as some of you will call it), your top 10 lists got me so hyped for Superman DeSpanish and after riding it this March, I really wasn't that blown away by it. After about 6 laps spread throughout the day, it started to leave me a bit dry. I feel you've made the right choice adjusting it slightly.

That's disappointing to hear, angry spitting dinosaur always amuses me. Not at all surprised to hear you had a nice time (that's just how Paultons rolls), but glad to hear it none the less.

Should just set the park on fire, failing that, the management. That sounds disgusting my friend, I'm sorry you had to witness it. Nice to hear that 20 pound charge for annual pass holders is being put to good use...

1.5 days followed by a 110mph blast down the autobahn to Expedition GeForce, to discover it's not the best coaster in the World is about how long to spend at Europa Park. Your mileage may vary.

I'll try my best to help you guys out... Something about regretting not getting a Mack. Complaining about the track looking so ugly. Mocking those who will moan if it gets VR. A line about me being condescending. Ending with a shout out to Poland's favourite artist, the legendary Mr Polska. You're welcome.

Track for Valkyria is on site and I must admit I'm really digging the track colour.

This is the problem with too many people on forums these days, skimming posts and making assumptions. I think it takes some fun out of cred hunting, when unique things become slightly less unique and easier to obtain, that's what I'm getting at. Quite what that has to do with me as a person is for your assumptions only. I've never ridden a tilt coaster, once again, that's an assumption of yours. If that post truly honestly came across as me talking down to Baron, a very knowledgable man himself, then I'd like to apologise to him and him alone, that was not my intent. Unwashes masses was clearly a joke, a joke I've stolen from a wrestler I once liked. If you think I was using it as anything other than a quick joke, then that's your problem.

Selfish, yes perhaps, rude? To who? Having an unpopular opinion in 1 thread on a coaster forum is "dickish behaviour?" If you say so.. A tilting Lech with proper restraints would be lovely I won't deny that.

Thank you. You clearly haven't understood my intent at all, which I could put down to forums just being text, or could just assume you're having a bad day. There was nothing smug or condescending about that post. I added further speculation on which coasters and manufacturers may be involved, offensive right? Then openly said I was going to be a d**k and moaned about coaster models that at the moment take some effort to get may soon be possible to obtain in a day trip. If that offends you then clearly you're not enjoying this hobby to it's fullest and just want to be spoon fed everything as easy as possible.

Can't deny that's a lovely paint job, just a bit of a shame the lift/first drop combo looks so ugly!

Pulling these investments out of nowhere, crazy times! Very much doubt that multi launch will be an Intamin Aquatrax, they haven't built any since Atlantis Adventure, so to suddenly add another 50 feet of height and 5 inversions to one would be rather brave. Sounds like a silly concept, so something Mack would thrive at, I certainly hope it's Mack! Tilt coaster has got to be Vekoma, same with the mine train, which I really hope isn't like Colorado because that's just awful. I'm going to be a d**k again and say... If they do get an Intamin Aquatrax (like South Korea) or a Vekoma Tilt Coaster (like Taiwan), then it's going to p**s me off a bit that those 2 unique ride types will suddenly become easy to get for the unwashed masses.

This hurts my brain so much. I almost understand (but still very much bemoan) Thorpe beating Blackpool, with this being a Thorpe Park focused forum. But Alton Towers, nah... The last year before Icon takes the crown, mark my words. Colossus, the 3rd worse ride in the UK? F**k off! If Phantasialand won, I would have rioted. I know B&M Hypers aren't anything special, but this seems off. Two of the most offensive attractions ever conceived beating the fantastic Flying Dutchman, right... Pointless Weapon 8 with more votes than Steel Vengeance and almost as many of Icon, you guys make me sick. Damn straight! Damn straight! Only 3rd most likely to be banned? Must try harder...

Not just yet, but I'll have to visit one day, no coaster left behind! Well apart from ones in warzones!

It's going to be one hell of a good line up to hit in one trip if you were to wait till the RMC opens! I'm on the fence at the moment, I think it will come down to what other coaster trips are on offer as to if I'll wait or just say screw it and visit twice. If you were to keep waiting for everything to open, you'd never go anywhere!

Was it? I much preferred the collection of dance/techno tracks it had before, in my eyes (ears), it was a case of once again adding that damn island theme to every area and every ride.

I've got to admit the realisation that the Immelmann is non inverting has once again improved this coaster. It's changed from an inversion for the sake of an inversion, into something much more silly, I love it!

Is it just the way the pictures are taken or is that Immelmann non inverting? Doesn't matter, either way will be great, just curious.

I casually compare 2 amusement park logos and it's not relevant. You compare an amusement park logo with university logos and it's fine? Fair enough.

Yeah, not digging that very much, preferred old one. Still miles better than Thorpe's current attempt though! Looking at that for 10 odd minutes during the IMAbore trailer really highlighted how crap it is.

I too get frustrated at this notion IMAscore are the be all end all in the themed attraction soundtrack market. They have pulled off some really great stuff don't get me wrong, but for the most part it's all a bit samey and underwhelming. Too many people see, "IMAscore are involved" and get over excited, whereas my reaction these days is, "oh, again?" and I know almost exactly what it's going to sound like before I even hear the teaser. You're joking with that being an official post on twitter right? I know I'm old and miserable but that's just awful.

I've got much better things to do with my money, for example burning it.

Christ that track is ugly.

The IMAscore era of Thorpe's on park soundtracks is lazy, repetitive, uninspired and bland, quite why anyone would want to sit down and listen to them off park is beyond me. As for if the CD will get put on iTunes, I very much doubt it. I waited months for the Liseberg CD to go up, it never did. Very few IMAscore CDs are on iTunes, you'd be very lucky.

Top 5 new creds this year seems like a good shout, I'm game! I'm planning to be riding Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Singapore on New Years Eve, so that may or may not change proceedings. 1) Karnan - Hansa Park 2) T-Express - Everland 3) Piraten - Djurs Sommerland 4) Flying Dinosaur - Universal Studios Japan 5) Hollywood Dream: The Ride - Universal Studios Japan Indeed they do!

Thickest Kicks just made my morning, I love the Dutch! Although hard gaarn or however you spell it was brilliant too, so I'm sad to see that go!
