Great! Now I've got to travel to the arse end of France! Can't put off the trip now there's this AND Gravity wood to be had. Very exciting news.

It won't be a patch on the one at Paultons.

A 40 foot high GCI which will give hints of what could have been.

The sheer amount of trims because Intamin can't design roller coasters properly half the time suprises me every time. Drop section and backwards bit is cool though.

I don't think that queuing logic holds up very well. In Korea and Japan they will queue countless hours for anything and in Germany everyone bails out if its more than 15 minutes, and yes I seen this myself, including on the brand new Star Trek Operation Enterprise. I'd say it was better in 2017, if only for the new ending, that was very cool. It's still a once a year attraction to me though, too much faff to warrant multiple goes a season.

All of you speaking ill of Gerts as a whole need to get out there and repent your sins on Karnan. As for Eurofighters, they are just a terrible coaster design. Awful ride vehicles, jolty ugly track, god awful vertical lifts and they are all really short. Saw has the best layout of all the Eurofighters I've ridden, that's not saying much but it counts for something. Either it's running a lot smoother recently or I'm just getting immune to a beating on a coaster these days. Some of you need to man up a bit!

Nah, that's a terrible idea quite honestly. RMC the average/crap wood, not the very good, which I've heard Colossos is. Nothing Merlin will add large investment wise is going to make up for losing their star attraction and biggest draw. They need to bow their heads, pay the money and learn from this.

It's an Intamin prefab, so computer cut parts at a factory that just slots together. Assuming they still have those parts on file, the actual retracking should be easy and fast. However it will be very expensive! Good on Heide I say! Maybe I'll now be able to collect the Intamin prefab set!

As a man who can't follow the released plans to save his life, I didn't know that was going to be a thing! +1.0 exciting rating. +0.5 intensity. Getting more excited every time I see this beast, I'm going to be a wreck by opening day!

Benin, for the treason of counting Go Gators.

Well that looks f**king awful... Can't say I've been following this upgrade because it doesn't interest me in the slightest. Does this mean we are losing the fantastic campy 80s techno theme? If so I'm even more uninterested.

They sell pain killers in most theme park shops Worldwide, it's for old people like me who are in constant pain! Saw as a theme may be removed one day, not next season though. As for the coaster hardware itself, that'll have years left in it.

I won't deny that station leaves a lot to be desired at current, but it's Amanda, I'm almost certain there's a plan for it! As for the rest, I'm going to have to repeat myself and say to those who haven't experienced a Mack Mega that you don't know what you're getting yourself into! Future's bright lads.

Christ...

ANOTHER dark, post apocalyptic and horror themed attraction for Thorpe Park? They really don't think things through do they? The stupidest thing is though, this whole thing is completely unnecessary! X still drew crowds and was in one of the best states of it's life. This retheme may initially increase the ridership but in time, the "new" experience effect will wear off and the ride will more than likely become less popular than ever. I say that because at least in my eyes, there's always a fitting time for a rave in the dark, not so much a horror experience with faffy preshows. Probably been said to death about the park over the years but once again they are killing off a family attraction, will they ever learn? Finally I really hope when this thing opens they plan on running the coaster at capacity otherwise it's going to be even more laughable.

I've just got back from a quick trip to London to collect my Chinese visa, but owing to the fact tis the season for many showmen from around Europe to bring their toys to various fields in London, theme them vaguely to Christmas and charge £1000000 a pop, it was also time to collect some new creds. With that in mind, after first collecting my visa, me and my friend popped into Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland. You all know about WW, there's entire Facebook pages dedicated to it's existence and some of you even know way too much about travelling rides so I'll keep my review short. - New security checks and set ups were very much welcomed by me in this current tense environment. They were very well handled and it made me feel at ease, just please allow extra time when visiting because it takes quite a lot more time to get in now. - Only 1 new cred this year was disappointing, I know we can't always have nice new things but after Hollenblitz rumours I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in this year's line up. - It might just be me getting even older and more miserable but in my opinion the atmosphere was completely missing this year, not that there was ever much to begin with. We got the new spinning mouse cred, which was riding like crap and this year's lap on Olympia Looping which is certainly still over hyped but other wise a great coaster. Then I contemplated a go on Wilde Maus XXL, which although good fun isn't worth £7, so I didn't bother. And that was WW 2017, I'll stick with my previous comments of, if I wasn't in the area it wouldn't be worth my time. My friend noticed a spinning mouse (clearly 3 at Winter Wonderland isn't enough) had been set up in Clapham Common early this week and upon further research he told me it's part of Winterville. It appears Winterville is a WW inspired event which this year takes place in Clapham. With a bonus cred for the taking, we ventured in. To give Winterville it's due, it's very much more professional and high quality than I initially assumed it would be. It was also a lot busier than I assumed it would be, which is nice to see, clearly WW isn't the be all end all that I assumed it was. We rode the spinning mouse, known as Crazy Mouse and half way up the lift noticed the fair also has a wacky worm, that's right people, TWO bonus creds this trip! Ticked that off as well and headed back home. All in all a lovely afternoon and 3 for the count, thanks for reading.

If you aren't interested in this coaster, you're in the wrong hobby. Thanks for the heads up Baron.

Looked better before, never mind, not my money.

That's just painfully stupid...

Bobbejaanland's latest investment needs to be a raging fire. A fire in which no living thing is harmed but the park is completely gutted... ....Apart from the indoor cred and the Mouse, I still need them. Awful place.

It's not the colour that's bothering me with Infus**t it's the fact the park has an incredible variety of unique custom layout coasters, then just an SLC shoved onto some concrete where the flume used to be! I for one am really digging the Icon colour scheme, that silver is sexy!

It begins! Looking great already! Such a shame Infusion has to spoil the picture though!

Fantasy Island have today unveiled the new colour scheme for Millennium and Christ it's awful. Source: Fantasy Island Twitter.

After riding Hollywood Dream (B&M Hyper) backwards in Japan and it improving the coaster no end, I cannot wait to experience this thing backwards, it's going to be life changing. A worthy sin to our OCD when it's a fantastic addition to an already outstanding looking machine!
