I mean the guy on the Big One wasn't wrong...

I remember when Son of Beast was announced with its seven world records: 1. Tallest Wooden Rollercoaster 2. Fastest Wooden Rollercoaster Yep, fine, no problem with these. Very very valid records. 3. Longest Wooden Rollercoaster Drop Mmm... I mean pushing it a bit here. Nobody really...

Great write up although just one thing. You can get an all day locker. The screens are a little awkward to navigate but I think it was like 10 or 12 dollars. You put in a 7 digit passcode and then you use that at a different set of lockers each time to a new locker. I was there a few weeks ago...

Great write up Matt. So glad that you got on Shambhala - I remember years ago telling you on here how I thought it would be your new number 1! I'm amazed that Templo de Fuego (or whatever its called) is still running. I didn't go that part of the part last time that I went (2021?) but I...

For the USA I'd add Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Hersheypark. Both lovely parks in their own right that the GP seem to love. Great variety in each.

Kind of linking into this one - unpopular opinion - the new restraints on Skyrush ruined it. Don't get me wrong, the old ones were awful and painful but at least you could ride it and say "if this had better restraints it would be awesome". Now, with better restraints there is no excuse and its...

Echoing the above - Good Question. For me its: #4 El Toro - I loved it and it was my number 1 afterwards despite just one ride. But my daughter hated it. So the 9 year won out and we didn't go back onto it #13 Skyrush - Similar story. My daughter didn't like it. Plus it rained a lot on that day...

And now onto my bucket list park of the trip. Fuji Q. This involved firstly trying to find the bus station at Shinjuku which was surprisingly easy. You're given a specific seat on the bus and I was lucky enough to get a window seat on the left of the bus. The views would have been great but...

So Day 4 and it Disneyland. Arrived at around 8.15 for a 9 am start. For the first time the lovely Japanese queue gave way to just a mass of people who all edged forward bit by bit at 9am came. The weather was great and the queues predictably massive. I went in and tried to get a quick...

Honestly, I’m a dyed in the wool lefty, mining family from Yorkshire and all that. And I can’t bring myself to vote for the Tories, red or blue. So greens it will have to be instead

Days 3 and 4 (ok they weren't because I did lots of other Japan things in between, but you get the point) were the Disney Parks. Now from a Coaster perspective this is very much nothing to see here, move along. But from a theme park perspective, well that's a different story. So having already...

HD's single rider queue is still there and the timing boards lie - it said 60 minutes early on and I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes. Jurassic Park is down for a long period - rumours it might be changed to the Hollywood Jurassic World version. Spiderman is sadly gone for good. The...

Yeah it’s pretty much like that. You onto the app. I think it’s called priority pass or 40th anniversary pass. Click on which ride you want and then you pick a time. You can then pick another in 2 hours or as soon as you use the fast pass that you just booked, whichever happens first

Get the App. You get free past passes in there. If you're familiar with the US fast pass / genie system you'll find it easy. In addition, around 3/4 of the best rides in each park are additional fees (think like Individual Lightning Lane at Disney World). Again, dead easy to do. Just make sure...

Good luck - I hope you enjoy - happy to help anything that you need let me know
