May 24th Cedar Point As it was a Saturday and it was memorial day weekend I decided I should budget for a fast lane plus, which turned to be more than worth it. Unlike yesterday the crowds came in volume. As a Cedar Point gold season pass member with an all park passport I was given early...

I think I must of gotten lucky as I never saw it go down when I was there the other week, although I did see that they did have a Zamperla engineer on standby 👀

May 23rd Cedar Point After waiting 25 minutes for a 10 minute uber ride I had finally arrived at America's roller coast by about 11.45am. Like any other enthusiast, Cedar Point is at the top of my bucket list of parks. Ever since looking at construction photos of Top Thrill Dragster back in...

American: "Where are you from?" Me: "The UK" American: "Where about?" Me: "Manchester" American: "Are you on vacation?" Me: "yeah" American: "... When are you going back?" This was the average interaction I must of had about 3-4 times a day while waiting through cattlepen queue lines. I...

In my experience: The Good Kumali Roller Coaster Mayan The Bad Infusion/Tramatizer Vampire Iron Claw The Ugly Condor

#275 - Stormrunner How I wish they kept making Accerators. It's a fast and fiesty Intamin, just tainted by the terrible restraints. Only had one ride so far, hopefully will get more tomorrow. More extensive thoughts will be in the trip report.

#257 Top Thrill 2 Have to say, the best Zamperla I have been on.

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 have had a couple of bruises over the years, mostly from the coasters at Blackpool. I got a partially nasty one on the revolution when my shins hit the body of the car on the first drop. But yeah, I've never been truly injured. The most pain I have had on a coaster was riding a chance...

Stealth.

I think it's part of our national identity to moan and complain and I'm not excluding myself from that, moaning is the most British form of expression. The Grand National used to be alot more tolerable, but in the past 10 years it's become more painful than fun. I haven't done "Reborn" yet, but...

Nice report. I really need to get on Expedition Geforce. I was waiting for the Xtreme Spinner, but considering that's not going to be built for a while now I will probably visit a lot sooner.

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
