I won't say injured, but hurt badly on a travelling coaster that was in Bridlington many years ago, I think it was called Gallaxy or something similar, and I was young at the time. It had rocket shaped cars with riders sitting single file and hard plastic up the sides of the cars leading to a...

In fairness my worst two coasters in the country are Hero and the Smiler for that very reason. I'd sit on the National all day and have done so without a problem.

Spinning rides don't particularly agree with me now, that's definitely an age thing! I haven't had a issue with the bottom of the first drop? I have however noticed a jolt on the bottom of the second double down (drop 5) on the left hand track. It caused my leg to slip when I was using it to...

I am starting to think that as a group, collectively the UK enthusiasts are becoming a little soft with regard to what we like or are able to tolerate from a coaster. There are (or were) certain rides that have always proven to be popular Wild Mouse, Grand National, Ultimate, Nemesis that for...

Theme park worldwide is my go to everytime. I do have a certain amount of time for coaster dad and your experience guide though

If this turns out to be their intention, I am done with BPB. They have tested my patience many times since the turn of the millennium with bizarre opening times, poor operations, and some of my personal favourites being inexplicably closed, but if the National goes it shall be the last straw. I...

Been to BPB today, here's here's quick update. One train from the Big One, and Avalanche is on the car park, joined by two trains from the Grand National and Big Dipper Rain forest rescue is back open, Taxi Spin is now closed with all cars removed. No update on the Dodgems, Impossible also...

Key components of IceBlast are in the car park too, BPB could be one to watch over the winter.

Evening guys, I know this is a controversial one, but there are still some of us who enjoy the National and hold it in high regard. Anyway its down for the foreseeable future due to the lift hill chain snapping, rumours suggesting it's caused some damage to the structure beneath the affected...

For a guy who claims to be a fan of traditional coasters over gimmicks, its odd I find myself saying Stealth followed by Rita here. That said, Thirteen has a nice trick to it with the drop track but the coaster section is far too short and trimmed to hell, I am yet to ride Sik and have no plans...

Grand National any day. Its an absolutely brilliant ride, fun, fast and packed with airtime, the racing element adds even more to a truly incredible coaster. The battle for second place for me is a tough one, with the Streak and Dipper interchanging often, both are fun with decent pops of...

UK theme parks Facebook page are reported working currently on the Iceblast ride. It's not clear from their pictures if it's removal or actual maintenance but activities are taking place.

BPB pass holder since they came out, but for one year when I disagreed with the directions the park was going. Visit once a month....maybe, massively down on its hay day when I was there every weekend but it still despite its faults represents good value and a fun day out, and while it has the...

Grand National in the late 80s. Trains that suited the ride, lap bars that didn't crush your legs. Airtime on every single drop, double drop and at the top of every hill. Absolutely the best, it's just a shame it's such an ordeal to get that same standard of ride with the current trains. Big...

I cant say this would have been my first choice either, however on the back of recent years and 3 additional closed rides and ludicrous capacity cuts this year I will take just about any investment at this stage. I give it 3 years before it's down to one operator to check and recheck each seat...
