Well deserved win!

As I am unlikely to ride it in the near future could you put in a spoiler box for me what makes it so amazing. Much obliged.

I am fine with this.

In it's early days it was pretty slow and force less. It didn't help that endless comparisons with Nemesis meant Inferno never had a chance to stand on its own two feet. These days it's run in extremely well and competes very well with some of the larger inverts out there IMO.

Agreed. I mean just because the park is time travelling and getting rides that it owned 16 years ago or getting back a cinema that was deemed too costly to run five years ago doesn't mean we should judge this on pictures alone. Although in saying that the pictures and promotional pics don't do this any justice at all.

Posting from Anaheim in California. Hi guys. Yea

Getting a great position for a Disney show only for the person in front of you to either put their child on the shoulders or to get out their iPads and filming the entire show. JUST WATCH THE DAMN SHOW AND PUT YOUR KID IN ITS BUGGY! I CARE FAR MORE ABOUT THE SHOW THEN YOUR KID!!!

Rode that version today and concur with Flipper. It only did one full height swing and it took a while to get itself going. It's probably an age thing as the two rides were built around the same time.

I hope you listened to her winners speech, that kind of bigoted comment is the kind of mindset she was targeting. It is an ugly coaster no doubt.

That ship sailed at the end of 2003 when teacup twisters became storm in a teacup and all the effects were turned off on Tidal Wave.

Pushing it a bit. It's people's choice to visit a theme park, it is not decreed in law that people have to visit and again you'd have to be an idiot to believe that fastrack is the only way to enjoy the park. I agree that it should be done after park closure but for the sake of balance it is one ride out of 25. As was said, the park was very quiet, it being a dead Thursday in the middle of May and publicity for the park (a show that goes out to 8 million people +) over-rules the 5000 people max on park that day. With all respect to the park it's not the greatest decision but let's not make out that it's daylight robbery.

SO close to warning you both for blasphemy right now.

I can imagine the Aqua Trax being all style and no substance. Another one of those Intamin rides that looks good on paper but is actually rubbish. Like Tornado and Furius Baco.

If they built their own Splash Mountain I would single-handedly get them out of their debt problem. A combination of Tower and Splash less then three hours away by Eurostar? It's a no brainer for Mark9

Smiler I can understand, they were promoting the hell out of it for a good length before it opened and the hype is always larger for a roller coaster then for a land or a family ride. You wouldn't want your one trip of the year to be before the major new roller coaster was added, particularly if you are an adult or a teen. But I can't imagine families thinking in the same ways that older groups would.

I can't believe that the majority of guests are putting off their visits for cbeebies land...

I really like Vampire. It's just so family friendly. Sure it was better in bat cars but it's still a great ride in its current form.

It's original I'll give it that...

I'd say Rameses is more unreliable then Fury. Rameses half the time is just sitting there stationary whereas on Fury it's constantly monitoring up to seven cars, two lift hills, four block break sections and two trim breaks. There is just so much more to go wrong and on the whole, it's breakdowns are just block shutdowns.

Either way, park visitors win. Whilst I am not Universals biggest fan, the amount of things they've added since my 2012 visit is quite something. If Potter expansion makes a huge dent in Disney's attendance then they will have to do something that isn't a Frozen meet and greet area. If Disney attendance remains stable then Universal will throw more and more in. Must be great being a park enthusiast in Florida right now, aside from the not quite that good B&M's

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ON DISNEY'S NEW RIDE, HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT. Suffering from 'Merlin'itis are we Josh? Sometimes all we want is a fun ride, one that it is just enjoyable without being the best ever. If it looks fun then its done its job for its target audience of families and children. Job done in my opinion.

Maybe Alvey wasn't offered enough freebies for him to fully enjoy his experience, hence why he might not look too pleased at the end of his ride..

Neither, boxers all the way Constantine or Kermit?

Low throughput does that.. although I really liked the Parque Warner version seven years ago. Still, Thorpe can do better then something like that.
