Hi guys. As many of you probably know, today is 1st December, the start of advent. That can only mean one thing; the return of advent calendars! Many people across the world, particularly children, have these delightful little items to help them count down to Christmas, and they come in many different varieties. You have your traditional picture-based advent calendars, you have chocolate advent calendars, and in recent years, all sorts of new varieties have appeared. I’ve seen makeup advent...

Hi all! I've just been comparing Mack ride supports for a NL2 project, and noticed that square and round footers seem to be used interchangeably. The trend seems to be that each coaster uses either footer type throughout the whole ride, though alpina blitz is an exception to that. Most manufacturers seem to use both footer types with a similar degree of variance as well. So, does anyone know what the different benefits of each footer type are, and what external factors determine which type... Read more ..read more

According to folks over on the Inside Universal forum, Universal are considering a new theme park in the United Kingdom. I can hear the sceptics saying “Come on, Matt. This is far from the first time that someone’s come on here saying that Disney or Universal is... Read more ..read more

Lets start if off with a bang at Parque Warner Madrid. 6th Sep On my annual trip to go see GFs family in Spain it was time for the final big park, GF had said this was the worser of the two Madrid parks but she says since she last went years ago its become a great park now and i agree. Thankfully with us we had GFs best friend who was nice enough to drive us and brought a great lunch for our day. Like GF shes not to comfortable with bigger coasters but by the end of the day i...

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but Hixee feel free to move this. I want to thank the SDC ride ops of Outlaw Run, pretty sure they visit this page or someone who works at SDC does. As everyone on this site knows, I love SDC and most of all Outlaw Run. Recently I hit 1000 rides on it and I asked Ryan if I could have a zen ride. They then went out of their way to let me through the emergency exit and then Brecken dispatched me. I later got in touch with Brecken that night and we... Read more ..read more
