How was your year?Here's mine-Parks visitedEfteling X5Animal Kingdom X3Hollywood Studios X1Southend Adventure Island X1Chessington X1Schwaben Park X1Tripsdrill X1Legoland Deutschland X1Hong Kong Disneyland X2Ocean Park HK X1Himeji Central Park X1Parque Espana Shima X1Nagashima Spa Land X1Fuji Q X1Disneyland Tokyo X2Tokyo Disney Sea X3Thorpe Park X2Wiener Prater X1Fantasiana X1Epic Universe X2New Rollercoasters ridden - 62I'd say my top ten new rollercoasters of 2025 are as follows-Flying Dinosaur - The most intense flyer out there. It is absolutely fantastic.Stardust Racers Green - I love this ride, the flowing elements and air time are excellent and the duelling with yellow is so good.Stardust Racers Yellow - I mean come on, they are both so good and theres very little in between them in terms of quality.Steel Dragon 2000 - Aside from the really frustrating loading, this is a really long ride that does deliver. The air time at the end is also excellent.Pyrenees - An Inverter that sits under the radar, this is a very good rollercoaster, it just has a really odd ending. Hals Uber Kopf - The vekoma STC is so good. Both it and Fienna Force are so class. I thought this was a surprisingly forceful rollercoaster and really enjoyed it.Hollywood Dream - A surprisingly good hyper coaster. I only got the chance to ride this backwards but I thought it was excellent.Harakugei - A very good RMC but I find the loading procedures really take away the fun from a lot of Japanese parks. This is still awesome but its tiresome waiting for it .Diavlo - I don't really care that this is just a batman clone, it really is an excellent version of the ride. It looks a little rusty and run done and its amazing that the park have bothered to keep it running. Glad to have got on it.Zokkon - An excellent Intamin straddle coaster. Full of unique elements and excellent pacing.Landmark moments from 2025Rollback on Mandrill Mayhem where we were stuck just before the Statue helix. Star of some B- tier tiktok vlogs. Loved it.Evacuated from the break run on Stardust Green. Lots of fun watching Stardust Yellow continue to run. Also managing to get on it after the death in September. Finally making it to Tokyo Disney and getting on all the major rides multiple times. Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Sinbad, Indianna Jones, Winnie the Pooh and Beauty and the Beasts felt like life changing rides in my theme park careerReclaiming the 'ridden all B&M's in Europe' after getting to Legoland DeutschlandSaying goodbye to way too many attractions this year. Kingda Ka, Muppets 3D, Six Flags America, Tough to be a Bug, Scorpion Express, Blade. Also our last ever rides on Dinosaur before its closure in 2026.So please share your 2025. We love content.

Sitting just outside my Top 10 outright, this is absolutely bonkers in the best possible way. The only mark against it is the double down which starts off the final third of the ride, which just feels a bit unnatural to me.Karacho, Tripsdrill. Gerstlauer with some of their finest work. It sits just outside my Top 10%, is a great deal of fun. If the MCBR was slightly less harsh, this would be a lot higher in my rankings.Expedition GeForce, Holiday Plopsaland Deutschland. It's good. The middle third is a bit boring, but the first drop and finale are fab. It's very classic early 00s Intamin.Raptor, Gardaland. Good, not great. But theming is fab.MecaLodon, Walibi Belgium. The Gerstlauer family triple launch coaster is something which people have raved about. I like it, especially once it warms up, but I'm not as big on it as most. The ride type has buckets of potential though.DisappointmentsYoY, Walibi Holland. I liked Jersey Devil at Six Flags Great Adventure. I was disappointed by YoY, which didn't offer much even with the duelling. I also have aged and the leg arrangement was uncomfortable for me.Gardaland. It was nice and I enjoyed my day there. But it did feel a bit meh at the same time.Hals-uber-Kopf, Tripsdrill. Unlike Mark, I haven't been blown away by either of the Vekoma STCs. They're fine, I can see why people enjoy them, but they don't click for me.Other Notable ThingsDanse Macabre, Efteling. This thing is superb.Movieland Italy. What a strange park. But I had an absolute blast of a time.Amazonia, Bellewaerde. A fantastic rapids-esque ride from Intamin with lots of cool quirks.Slaughterhouse, Walibi Holland. I returned to Walibi's Halloween event, and this alone experience is so raw and visceral and just genuinely fabulous.Us vs You, Walibi Holland. An international scare maze which feels like it's slipped under the scare attraction's radar, because this is bloody great.
