THIS IS WHY @Howie!!!!!

Yep, I pretty much agree with this entire post, except that the Flying Dutchman was bad, not the worst one though. And that while a full day at Great Adventure would have been nice, gotta get those creds.

Yep, we rode this last month and I honestly thought we were derailing, could not get out of it quick enough.

I felt the exact same after my first couple of runs, it immediately replaced it in my ranking and is somewhere in my teens now. It's a bit like when I first rode Twisted Cyclone (SFNE) but once I'd ridden a few more RMCs I realised it's quite weak in comparison. Cracking top 25, but where's...

OPs seemed a lot slower than my prior visits, so maybe they are delaying dispatch to allow the trains wheels to recover a bit more than before. Main thing is the restraints/train weight has changed, only thing I can think of for the decrease in speed. As you say, the lateral body movement was...

Next park was Hershey; Candymonium - Went row 2 on this one as I find hypers are usually better in row 2 for the full floater effect or back row for the yank down every hill. Looks great, love what they've done with the new entrance since I was last there, and it has an interesting layout...

Just goes to show what a good conversion to do, if the original layout is solid :)

On Gardaland's open late, close rides early thing. I'm pretty sure it's only like that for another week as from the 30th of June the closing time of the rides will change.

It's been a lot better recently, they've definitely retracked some of it and a non-wheel seat isn't the worst ride ever, definitely give it another go next time you head there.

Nash is alright if you get the middle row of a car, so a non wheel seat. Pretty good mantra to live by on woodies with 3 row cars tbh, there are obvious exceptions of course.

The sad thing is that apart from Cedar Point, none of the parks would get near my top 5 parks in the US. Dollywood, Silver Dollar City, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Busch Gardens Tampa, Universal IOA and Hersheypark are all leagues above. I have zero confidence they will make the parks good...

I'll try to rank the bottom 10, it's difficult as they are all absolutely crap. 711 - G-Force - Drayton Manor - For obvious reasons, that lift was disgusting, and combined with the restraints 🤮 712 - Infusion - Blackpool - Personally my worst of the SLCs, but Condor and T3 were up there 713 -...

Yeah I did G force, that was vile too, but again, beginning of the ride and the rest was alright so doesn't make the bottom 5, it's down there though. Skyloops are a good shout, the one at Linnanmaki was horrid, probably in the bottom 10. Quite liked Abismo once the lift/roll was done though...

The jolt at the end is really bad and it's surprisingly rattly in the 2nd half of the ride, but the drop and immelman are pretty good. Very surprising this got signed off, but the park really needs the uptick in attendance so I'm guessing they decided the roughness/jolts were within an...

I put this in the worst 5 coasters topic; "I absolutely hated it mate. 4 sustained hangtime moments is way too many, 1 is fine, 2 is gross, 3 is disgusting, 4 is unacceptable. I honestly would prefer to ride nearly anything than touch it again." Anyone who knows me knows that sustained hang is...

Copperhead Strike is the worst cred at Carowinds. Worse than Nighthawk, worse than Vortex, worse than their rattly kiddy Vekoma, worse than their kiddy creds, worse than their boomerang. Despise it. Only beaten to worst operating cred in the US by Thunderbolt.

I absolutely hated it mate. 4 sustained hangtime moments is way too many, 1 is fine, 2 is gross, 3 is disgusting, 4 is unacceptable. I honestly would prefer to ride nearly anything than touch it again.

Hit 700 while in the states, timed it well with Harry getting the same cred for his milestone too!

This needs a holy Batman bump (unless there's a more recent version) Bottom 5 - In no particular order King - Foire du Trône Insane - Grona Lund Copperhead Strike - Carowinds Thunderbolt - Luna Park Coney Island Mean Streak - Cedar Point Meaning that there are/were actually creds out there...
