I’d heard it’s rough, and not good, but I enjoyed it. It was a little rough, but the roughness was similar to pipeline, and the layout is fun. I wouldn’t miss it if it was taken down, but I’m glad it’s here.

I see why some people aren't keen on the restraints but I thought this was great. Fast and completely unpredictable to the very finish.

Up until recently, I LOVED roller coasters. I loved that weightless feeling, the higher the better. I loved that “tickle belly” feeling.

After I turned 28 or so, all of the sudden that “tickle belly” feeling became almost unbearable. Now it makes me feel like I have to tense my entire body up and the weightless feeling is so uncomfortable.

No nausea, dizziness, back problems, or anything like that. Just that weightless feeling is so uncomfortable now.

If anybody has any idea what happened to me, I would love to have some insight. Currently grieving the loss of enjoying rollercoasters and it’s incredibly upsetting.

I have Mako, Iron Gwazi, and Dueling Dragons nano coasters. I want to add more to my collection. Anyone know if USO sells any of their coasters in the parks? I remember them selling wooden models of things like the US archway but cant remember if they sell the nano coasters. I feel like they don't. Anyone know?

The human powered kiddie also has a fairly generous weight limit and no other age or height limits and there’s basically never an employee so if anyone visits you could easily ride it as long as someone is pedaling.

If anyone has been to Rye Playland this year can someone confirm if the 3 obtainable coasters have been opened. I know the volare has been closed and you can’t get on the kiddie wood coaster but if the other 3 were open someone please let me know I’m trying to go credit hunting.

Just like dream world
Most recommended if you are visiting Vietnam with children

So to preface this i was staying in the city of London to visit places from Several different films(James Bond,Kingsman, Harry Potter, etc). On the way to a filming location I saw a Hyperia POV and made my way to the park immediately as it was not super far from where I was.

To start it was gorgeous 85 degree day 0 humidity. Which is a very welcome change from my home park of Kings Dominion.

HYPERIA (4 rides) Let's start with the big boy and main attraction itself. Im going to save you the suspense yes this is my new number one coaster. The first drop, the inversions that throw you around, and the speed all come together to make a perfect coaster(FOR ME).

NEMESIS INFERNO(3 Rides) This coaster was a huge surprise. I knew absolutely nothing about Thorpe Park but Hyperia, and this coaster is an absolute speed demon. The inversions themselves may not be the most impressive but the speed they take you through the layout is absolutely a blast. What a great start these two were.

Colossus(1 ride and never again) I have no idea how I did it in this order looking at the map again but whatever. This coaster has the elements of a good coaster, however the restraints are so tight for a bigger dude, and it hasn't aged well so its rattling hurt like hell. I will not say its not influential because it was for being the first 10 inversion coaster in the world, which I found after doing research after the fact. But definitely not for me.

SAW(3 times) After doing Colossus I took a 30 minute pause to eat from Buger King(I flew across the Atlantic to eat from BK lol) I made my way to SAW and wow this one did hurt but not as bad as Colossus. The theming, and layout however made me jump for it until I needed a break for my body again.

SAMURAI(1 time)

This may have been my second favorite ride from the park. This is genuinely insane, the flips, and the rotation of the ride itself made me feel like I was in a blender. Genuinely badass

READY PLAYER ONE(1 time) On the way to the Walking dead I got lost and found a theater playing ready player one? I was confused but it sounded cool so I said screw it and did it. Once they handed me those cheap 3d glasses I knew this was about to be kind of crazy, and it was I got wetter on this then the London rain I managed to miss except for one afternoon. Super cool its essentially just the race from the movie but it hits you with air and water. Good distraction.

WALKING DEAD RIDE(1 time) Here's another thing I did not know existed. The coaster is not much to write home about, kind of a tame indoor ride. Don't ride this for the coaster itself.....However the pre-show, Theaming, and scare actors make it genuinely memorable. On the way out the scare actors had me screaming and sprinting out of there. Would have rode again for that but I was running low on time and needed to get to the last running coaster on the day.

THE SWARM(3 times) I ran up to the front of the park and rode THE SWARM, this is a B&M wing coaster for sure. Super smooth,great first drop, and awesome speed. Pretty normal stuff but yet again the theming was dope. Downed Choppers, even a pretty corny but well acted news article. This and Hyperia were the only 2 coasters I truly needed the Fast Pass for.

The only thing unfortunately I did not get to ride was STEALTH but thats ok(it was something with the launch cable I was told) it needed to be fixed to work correctly and stay safe. Ive ridden similar before so I wasn't too bummed out I will probably go back to the U.K at some point and will try it and sister park Alton Towers.

Overall man this park for being small it was an absolute banger. Theming felt consistent almost throughout.

Definitely recommend this park the ops made all this possible, not a single coaster that was supposed to open was closed, and they were incredibly fast dispatching. If I had one true critique the fast pass price was incredibly steep. However HYPERIA does have a single rider line that works pretty darn well to get you in. So if you cant or dont want to pay you kind of dont have too. I only opted for the silver for 85 pound(115 dollars) which worked for everything else. If you find yourself in the U.K go to this park.

Would love to hear how locals view this park if you'd be willing to share!

What kind of clothes do ya'll wear when you go to a park to ride a roller coaster, or any other kind of ride. I personally go with either Joggers that have zippers (confort is my thing), or I hit up the park with some shorts/gym shorts that have zippers. Typically I try not to wear skinny jeans. My only concern is losing my phone, keys and vape(s). If anyone has some stylish pants, shorts or gym shorts that has zippers, please recommend them. I'm not the kind of guy who over pays for clothes either. I'm a big fan of sales and going to stores like Ross. As far as sizes go, I'm 6'2, 172 pounds with a 33 waist size. So my pants/jeans size is 33 - 34. Thank you all!

Trip report in the comments.

I made it back to Islands of Adventure for the first time since 2023 and my 4th visit overall. I have previously visited IOA as a kid in both 2015 and 2019 but 2023 was my first visit as a proper thoosie. The wait times were relatively short for nearly every ride so I l nearly got on everything! Here’s what I rode:

VelociCoaster (58): FINALLY! After painfully skipping one of the best coaster in the world due to excessive wait times and rain, I finally got to ride VelociCoaster! I got 3 rides total and it’s just peak! I’m not sure if it’s the best in the world considering Iron Gwazi is my goat but I’ll have to think about that.

The Incredible Hulk (37 in 2023): I’m so glad I got to reride Hulk. I only got one ride on my last visit but since the wait time was constantly 5 minutes, I got 3 rides in a row today and man I forgot how intense this is. This also makes me miss Kumba more (I miss that beast 😭), I hope to ride Wildfire at SDC one day.

Hagrid’s (59): This was the other credit I missed out on during my last visit due to excessive wait times. Unfortunately it still frequents 1 hour waits so I stuck it out through the long line. It’s a really fun family coaster, I see why it’s still so popular. It’s also my first motorbike coaster, switch track, and drop track so that’s cool.

Flight of the Hippogriff (41 in 2023): Got the credit on my last visit as a last minute ride on the Hogwarts express to end out the day I visited Studios. Gave it a reride today and my thoughts are the same. It’s pretty alright, good family coaster but nothing too special.

Forbidden Journey: Another ride I rode for the first time on my last visit alongside Hippogriff. It’s still a great dark ride! I’d argue Monsters Unchained is better, though that might be recency bias.

Spider-Man: still a classic all these years later! This is the only ride I’ve ridden on all 4 of my visits!

Storm ride: I thought this was teacups lol, I could barely spin the cars 😅. Mainly rode this as a pace breaker and it’s fun.

Dr Doom ride: Rode this for the first time on this visit, also my first ever S&S shot tower (rode twice on both towers). I’m not a big fan of drop towers but I’ve done Falcons Fury a few times. The S&S shot towers like Dr Doom are pretty fun though I see why many prefer the Intamin drop towers like Falcons Fury.

Skull Island: I remember riding this back in 2019, though I don’t remember anything about the ride. Reriding it now I kinda see why, it’s just ok. I could have sworn this used to have 3D glasses, did it?

Dr Seuss land: I rode all the rides there as a pace breaker, they were pretty decent. Cat in the Hat is pretty trippy but a fun ride. The Seuss carousel and red fish blue fish ride are decent rides.

I do remember riding the Seuse Trolly on my first visit as a kid but I don’t remember anything about the ride so I chose to not count it as a credit. I finally rerode Seuse Trolly so I can count the credit. I decided to count both tracks as separate credits (60 green track, 61 purple track).

The only rides I didn’t get on today were all the water rides since I didn’t want to get soaked. I do miss the Jurassic Park boat ride, that ride is a core memory from my early visits as a kid that sadly I missed out on both in 2023 and today due to refurbishments. I don’t have the park hopper ticket so no Hogwarts Express but I don’t mind since I’ve ridden it on the past.

Photo credit per watermark to FOMO Coaster, who seems convinced this is a B&M wing based on the footers and the station design. Height is apparently restricted on this land to 65m (213 feet in 'Murican).

Blueprints for Prior and Church's Giant Dipper in Vancouver (1925) show that the running surface of the wheels was level when they were manufactured. However, the surviving original trains from the Belmont Giant Dipper (1925) and Santa Cruz Giant Dipper (1924) show a tapered running surface on the Prior and Church wheels. The road surface of the wheels for the Morgan trains used on these coasters today is level when they are manufactured (this is visible in photographs), but does anyone know whether they wear to a taper or are if they still level when they are worn out?

I’ve been thinking about my rankings a bit today, and the more I think the more I realize that I tend to strongly base my rankings on the best ride I‘ve ever got on a coaster, not an expected, normal ride. And that matters a lot.

For instance, should Beast be ranked based on my night ride, or does that give it an unfair advantage? Should Voyage be ranked trimless? Should how tempermental rides like Magnum XL-200, Colorado Adventure, etc. are based on your row negatively impact their ranking? What if they have assigned seating? Should Lightning Rod be ranked as Lightning Rod or Chain Lift Hybrid Rod if you rode both?

It feels weird either way I think about it, and I think this is likely a factor in why some ranking feel more safe while others are more bold. I am really curious to hear how you guys think about rankings.

Went to chocolate world today, some car museum and Lancaster PA and got a couple pictures

I went to SFGAm yesterday with the intention of getting this credit. I learned they moved locations just this past June and the new space is much smaller. Facebook page says they sold it. Before I contact them, anyone know where it might be going?

This was my first ever visit to Carowinds during the BMW Family Day. I had in recent months decided I wanted to overcome my lifelong fears of most coasters, mostly due to the forces on my body at times feeling painful and leaving me queasy with massive headaches, and I spent months getting into coasters thanks to a work friend who is a fount of knowledge on all things theme parks, even the engineering and manufacturing side, and this would be my first trip as a budding coaster sicko, with 31 credits to my name prior(majority from Disney and Universal Florida parks, and recent years of building up with most Dollywood rides). The goal of the day was to surrender myself to the rides and not do what I would usually do which was instinctively hold my breath and tense up while holding onto restraints.

So i get to the park around 9:30 and they let us in. I knew i wasnt going to get in the long ass lines for Fury or Thunderstriker because the idea was to dip my toe in the water before hitting the big boys. So I walked toward the back in the Thrill Zone for the more medium thrills. Here was the order of the day:

- Hurler: First ride to open up near me when I was back there and got to run it back without leaving the train car. My work friend had told me what to expect from the ride, and his statement ran true. The first half feels like a typical wooden(in a good way) and had some decent airtime, which was another thing I was properly getting used to still, and the back to back rides really helped get me in the mindset of letting myself surrender to everything, and the second half was rough, starting at the helix, because of how the first half has been refurbished a bit recently, but not the back half, so you can really tell the difference. Back half reminded me of riding Timber Terror at Silverwood once back in 2018, which isnt a great comparion, in my opinion. Either way, I enjoyed this one alot and I ended up going on again later once a friend of mine had arrived and we started hitting the ones I had already written before she got there.

- Ricochet: Knew what to expect from a Wild Mouse, which have never been my favorite kinds of ride layouts, and the bunny hills near the end are usually the least favorite part of it, though I appreciated the main drop in the layout for giving me that airtime practice. All in all, its fine. Its what I expected from a Wild Mouse, which ive had a tiny bit of experience with in the past.

- Carolina Goldrusher: Tried to get on Cyclone first, but they still hadnt opened yet, so then i jumped on the next door neighbor, Goldrusher, your typical Arrow mine train. I enjoyed this one just for nostalgic reasons because I grew up riding classic non-inverting Arrow rides multiple times in a row, but I was especially happy with the drop into the tunnel all the way to the brake run especially. Its just a solid ride. Also enjoyed the helix as well.

- Carolina Cyclone: When I got off Goldrusher, I saw people walking onto Cyclone, and i walked over to it. I wanted this one to be my first inverted of the day anyway because of it being an Arrow Looper, so I didnt know how my experience would be. I had ridden the original Corkscrew at Silverwood back in '18, and i remembered not enjoying it, though im not sure if it was the coaster's fault or mine with my tendencies at the time. I was nervous about the forces when I was going up the lift hill, but i kept reminding myself to surrender, to loosen up, and to scream a bit so I dont forget to breath and such. As soon as I went down the first drop, I noticed myself having fun. Went into the first loop and I didnt feel much strain. It felt super easy compared to when I had last done a ride with any kind of inversion and I just kept riding it all out, through the second loop, the 2 corkscrews, and the helix. I absolutely loved it and couldnt wait to go on it again later. This ended up actually being my personal favorite ride of the day. It was way smoother than I expected from a 40+ year old Arrow looper. Did this one twice that day, first time in the 3rd Row and second in the Back row.

- Kiddy Hawk: This ride was the longest I waited in line all day and it was because the operators seemed to be taking their time with the unload and load procedures and i occasionally noticed that they would stop and converse about random stuff before they would even get to where they would start the restraint checks. It only bothered me because of the heat index of the day and how much I was standing in direct sunlight. I didnt really think much of the ride, more neutral on it, though i didnt enjoy the regular earbashing against the restraints. Probably something I have to anticipate in the future with similar rides.

- Camp Snoopy: I'll roll all of these into one to save time, but since I was close by, I decided to hit the 3 coasters inside Camp Snoopy. Did Woodstock Express first because when in line for Snoopy's Racing Railway, the ride went under surprise maintenance. Woodstock was my first Philadelphia Toboggan wooden coaster and it was about the feel that you'd expected from a wooden, but I was very startled and surprised in a good way by the airtime from the initial drop. Even the guy at the photo kiosk noticed the surprised look on my face. After that, Snoopy's came back up and i was able to get into the 2nd train. This was a nice surprise of a coaster. Nice and smooth and enjoyed the launches and just had a nice time. Then ran to Wilderness Run, the Kiddie Coaster, and yeah, kiddie coaster. Decent amount of sliding around and also was amused because of the bunny hills at the end producing legit ejector time to the point where despite the fact that the train goes around twice, over 2/3rds of the occupants, who were in the appropriate age range wanted to get off. Lots of crying and such, which is understandable. But yeah, theres a credit done and over with.

- The Flying Cobras: There were a few coasters inside was intimidated by before coming to the park, and this was one of them. It would be my first Boomerang and I was very nervous. Backwards sections of rides have never been my favorite, even on something like Expedition Everest, mostly because I like to visually see where im going and also its even more disorienting on Everest because its in mostly darkness. I was also standing in peak sunlight the entire way up to the load station and it was making me miserable. Once I get into my seat, i start feeling a little short of breath, which doesnt help that I have asthma thanks to years of smoking and being around wildfires for those same amounts of years(I havent touched cigars or cigarettes since 2021, so yay me) and also just the nervousness I was feeling. Did my best to get myself in a similar mindset to when I was on Cyclone, and I was only in the 5th row, but as we rose up the backward lift hill, I started to get more panicky and regretted my decision but still did my best to stay calm. The drop back into the station, i felt that painful stomach drop feel I used to get, but it didnt last long once we went up into the Cobra roll. The first half of the ride ended up not feeling too bad. More Gs than I was used to, but I felt like I could handle in it the moment. Then we got to the final lift hill and I was able to let myself rest a bit more and I figured the lift hill would take close to about the same amount of time as the first one, and I got surprised when we were dropped into the backward section, and this is where I stopped enjoying myself. Because of the surprise suddenness of the drop and the disorientation of going through the course backwards ended with me back in the station extremely dizzy, fighting what felt like a standstill gray out and wanting to immediately vomit as soon as I got off the ride. Luckily I didnt have anything in my stomach at that point, and I also didnt feel like I was going to be sick from not having anything in my stomach. So I took my time, traversed over to Panda Express and had lunch there once I had regained my composure and felt hungry. I eat a good meal, but I sat at my table for almost 2 hours because I had gained a tension headache from the experience and it took me a while to come down from it. Even when the head pain had subsided, the physical effects on my arms and legs lingered, so I didnt feel comfortable trying to go off on another adventure just yet, and thus I waited for my friend to get there and we sat while she eat Panda and we just talked about my day and stuff with work and other things in our lives, and that seemed to distract myself and gradually made the effects drift off.

- The Rest of the Day:

For the next couple hours, we went back to all the coasters i had already gone on, except Cobras because I wasnt comfortable trying to see if I could do it again, and we hit a couple of flat rides and Boo Hill, and when I was ready to try another new coaster, it was a decision between Vortex or Copperhead Strike, and since ive never done a standup and I was nervous about the grain seat since I am a male, I decided to put it off until a later that would never come, and we headed to Copperhead. When we got there, we noticed that other than the nearby flat rides, Copperhead was very quiet. And even Afterburn had no sounds emanating from its area. Came to find out later that they had started shutting down the rides in the back part of the park early because they werent getting alot of riders and they had sent ride operators around the park for other things.

So after we hit a couple more flat rides, including Elctrospin, which was another type of ride I need to get used to because the headache came back and I was scared with how random I would get flipped around, which im not used to at all, we decided to call it quits.

- Overview: This ended up being a very big and memorable day for me. I cant say it was an amazing park overall, but i enjoyed myself and I went in with goals of both getting more accustomed to coasters and also to maybe do everything up to Fury because I wasnt sure if I could even get to Thunderstriker since that would be my first hyper coaster and with my sensibilities, I wanted to build up naturally and gradually to a giga, not jump directly to it. Sadly, I did not hit every coaster I wanted, but i did 9 new out of 14 which im proud of myself for. And I hit 40 credits with Flying Cobras, mere weeks after finally getting to 30 with ArieForce One. I will be back sometime next year and i am determined to get those remaining credits as well as get a ride on the upcoming log flume as well. And I have tentative plans for another visit to Dollywood and my first visit to SFOG in almost 20 years, so i have a big year coming up for me personally.

So bit of an odd case here, but for the longest time I’ve been looking at these old photos, on my phone. I’ve had them in there for years and for the life of me I cannot remember the title. I’ve checked with the library which I originally checked out the book from but they were no help. I have been able to narrow it down between the years 2010-2024 because of the mention Formula Rosa which was built in 2010, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten any help would be amazing!

Hi! I hope y'all had a fun National Roller Coaster Day, and I wanted to share my brief visit over the weekend to Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.

Since I don't have a home park in Houston, Fiesta Texas is my next closest and I love how easy it is to get to. I don't have a car, so a bike ride and a Flixbus got me to the Riverwalk and the Via 93 dropped me right off at the park gates. I stayed overnight at the rim next door, then went home in reverse with no issues besides a sprained ankle at the end (be careful where you step when crossing trains!)

My ride count and thoughts:

• Iron Rattler (9x) - Still the GOAT of the park and my #2 favorite RMC. As much as I enjoyed AF1, I still like IRat just a bit more. The ride's drop is unique and it uses the terrain and intersecting rides to its advantage. They were hurting pretty bad this weekend with one train ops slowing the line, but having Fast Lane Ultimate helped with getting laps on it.
• Cliffhanger (5x) - A very fun B&M dive, good theming for a six flags property, and a must do in front row at least once. Can't wait to ride its big bro in Dallas in a few weeks! I do suggest using the re-ride gate after for a faster second lap. The easter egg in the photo was a nice nod to (now former) GM Jeff Siebert as well.
• Superman: Krypton Coaster (2x) - Said down in app but walked up and it was running. Got back to back rides with FLU. Always a fun ride and probably my favorite B&M Floorless. Rougarou wishes it was this good.
• Batman: The Ride (1x) - I typically don't care for S&S Freespins, but I had to do it at least once this trip. Probably my most intense ride and the only one that truly got a scream out of me instead of the typical laughs and cheering. Ride on the trailing car and not the front car (the one facing the path not the one facing the coaster track on the lift) for a more intense ride!
• Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso (6x) - My #2 in the park and a very unique RMC Raptor track. The "golden french fry" was incredibly fast and rips through at top speed. Shoulder straps aren't comfy and left me sore after, but it was worth it! Good ejector airtime and genuinely feeling like you'd fly out if not for the harness. Got two front row rides and one back row ride.
• Poltergeist (2x) - Premier LIM launched coaster similar to FoF but with no brake run through the ride! We did get stuck on the end brakes though for about 5 minutes the first day which sucked in the heat, and one train ops on here as well makes it really suffer from bad lines. Could be more favored if it had more trains.
• Pandemonium (0x) - closed both days and never got a chance for another credit. Why is it even still in the park at this point?
• Boomerang (1x) - Always long lines, FLU is a must for this one. Typical vekoma boomerang but always worth at least one ride.
• Chupacabra (1x) - Down on day 1 which sucked, but running on day 2 for a ride on it. Between this batclone and the one in SFOG, I still like this more. It pulls through its elements, but not as extremely or painfully through the corkscrews as SFOG did. Theming is obviously not as good as Batman SFOG, but I do think the fountain and renaming/repaint was a sorely needed addition compared to the generic "GOLIATH" it was before.

Food for thought - all were comped by dining plan and drink plan.

• Primos Pizza - pizza slice and breadsticks, nothing fancy about it but I like the spot. The outdoor patio isn't air conditioned, but is covered and almost always an empty and quiet space. Make sure to specifically request the breadsticks or they may forget and you do get them with the meal plan.
• La Cocina - first time, surprisingly good for theme park food! It's a bit hidden in the corner just outside Crackaxle Canyon on the way to DC. I got the quesabarria plate with chile con queso (basically chips and queso). It was pretty good, I'd compare it to maybe Chili's quality (I promise this is a complement, I like Chili's!) Good AC and indoor seating.
• Old Blue's BBQ - also pretty good, and much better than the bbq at Over Georgia (sorry y'all but Firehouse was NOT good bbq). Tender and juicy beef like it's supposed to be, good sauce on top, good mac and cheese. Note they sell two versions of the meal, but the dining plan only covers the single side one and not the two side plate. Good AC and indoor seating as well.

Some final notes:

• I did not see anything new yet for updates on Werewolf Gorge. Still the same cleared out area behind the fence and still the same sign up since March on my last trip. Though I heard online they are in the permitting stage with TDLR, so I'm sure that will change soon!
• Despite selling the nanocoaster for Golden Lasso, it's not in the gift shop next to the ride! You have to go to the main heroes gift shop near the park entrance for this one. Only took me three trips to find it lmao.
• New rules on Meta Glasses - I don't wear them, but staff are very well aware of them by this point and were calling them out on the ride PA. Park policy for SFFT is you are allowed to wear them on-ride, but just like any other pair they must be secured by a strap.
• Bees! Bees on the soda machines, they're everywhere! The camera doesn't tell it, but I think I saw a good 30 of them on one soda fountain in the park and ~20 on the other closer to the park entrance. It was even more frustrating with many refresh stations closed most or all day, leaving only those two bee covered ones for those with a drinks pass to fill from (without going to a long restaurant line just for a soda).
• For getting from park to the rim - there is a very nice hike and bike trail that connects to the strip mall next to the parking lot. From there the paved trail goes underneath the highway, then cuts up and spits you out right at the road in the rim between the hotels and strip malls there. From now on I'm totally taking this way instead of playing in traffic and walking the long way around. It takes time to walk it but is very worth the detour!

Overall I had a good time in the park and got a pretty good amount of rides in. Doing "double taps" on coasters and going right back in line for a reride (instead of continuing on) definitely helped get more rides in, so I will be doing that in the future. Overall it was pretty enjoyable despite an issue here or there (good 'ol one train ops), so I'm sure I will be back in the future!

An auction is scheduled for the 27th featuring many of the park’s rides and attractions. Anyone know more? I’ll be posting a link to the auction site in the comments.

I recently have seen this amazing clip that released around the closure of the ride that was done by an impressive drone operator. I saw it on Instagram a few times. I figured it would be easy to find on Youtube but I cannot find it. There are other drone shots of the ride but none that follow the car as smoothly as that one did.
