Awesome to see everyone again and to meet some new people too. After 13 years in waiting, finally got on Sub-Terra 🙌. Huge thanks to @Serena once again for organising another awesome CF Live.

Thanks for the write up Matt, sounds like you had a great day! I'm with you on Icon, even with me riding more and more "world class" coasters I still love it just as much. "Heimlich manoeuvre style braking" is the perfect way to describe Steeplechase 😆

Damn. New Six Flags is ruthless.

You probably want to check the ride stats. Super high G forces will deter guests. If you are building a hill for example, you want the train to crest the top between 25-45 mph to make the ride exciting, but also not too fast so that it doesn't exceed Negative G Force limits. When building a...

I will be there. See yous soon 👍

I'm really hoping that the Jaws IP happens. As much as I love Harry Potter, the lack of Jaws in Florida still feels present. It's also one of my all time favourite films so there's that.

Here's the POV

I would say the Walibi parks are a good shout. Entry is usually between 40 and 50 euro, which might not be the cheapest, but I think there is a good balance of quality that goes with that. Add ons like speedy pass don't break the bank either if you get a couple of one shots for 5 - 10 euros...

Beat me to it haha

The location looks truly stunning, seems to be a much more laid back as well compared to most major parks. I feel like this might be a daft question, but is the air noticeably thinner up there?
