Great photos! I popped along eariler today. I wondered where I could hear Brian Blessed's voice booming from! Now I know -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
WildMouse replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Alpine Coaster at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland earlier today. -
I'm just so glad that I rode Hades in its original form back in June. It seems to get a lot of bad rep amongst enthusiasts, but I for one LOVED this ride. I'm just hoping that the barrel roll (along with the new trains) will make an insanely awesome ride even more so! I have a feeling it just might. Roll on a return visit at some point in the future.

Visited CLP a few weeks ago (as a stop off point between Waldameer and Kennywood). Talk about ghost town! Much to my relief, Blue Streak was running. It's a rattler (with a brief moment of smoothness during the re-tracked section). But still fun. I was just grateful it was running to be honest. I rode it a couple of times before checking out The Devil's Den (ghost train) with its 'infamous gum wall'. I felt the the ride could have done with some more tricks/stunts. Still rather charming though.

Beech Bend Discussion Thread
WildMouse replied to Jonathan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, fast forward to June 2012 and what we now have is an attraction that's bloomin' well terrifying! Seriously, ghost trains don't normally scare me. But this one freaked me the hell out! Job well done Beech Bend. I am going to resist going into detail about the scenes inside as it would spoil the surprise. But what I will say is that it is an experience where things like to get up close and personal. You'll have to experience it for yourself to see what I mean by this. Few more thoughts about the park: Really pleasant atmopshere. Everyone was having a good time. Kentu -
Dropped by a couple of times during my USA adventures. The second visit mopping up credits that we didn't have time for the first time around. Here's what I thought of some of the coasters on offer: X Flight - Fun. To simular to Stealth to be anything more than that. Raging Bull - Good but not great. Doesn't hold a candle to Nitro (in my opinion). Viper - Suprisingly awesome! Wasn't expecting the airtime it had the grace to provide me with! Demon - Love me a classic Arrow Looper. Batman The Ride - Not as intense as I remember SFGAM's being. Fun none the less. American Eagle - had bot

Verbolten was dead the day of my visit a couple of weeks back (having shut down at 6pm the night before). Hey ho. New ride. These things happen. Good excuse to head back in a few years time. Had a great day anyway (DarKastle being the highlight). Europe in the Air isn't a patch on Corkscrew Hill though!

Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
WildMouse replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I rode Skyrush (S&M: The Ride) just over three weeks ago. The ride provides some CRAZY ejector airtime. It's just a shame about the extreme pressure that is put on ones thighs. This was the only thing that detracted from what was an otherwise amazing/hilarious (yes, it really did make me 'lol') experience! I'm with A.J. in regards to the cause (and cure) of the pain issue. It's all about having a restraint system that gets tighter through the duration of the ride, much like G-Farce (deliberate misspell ) at Drayton Manor. So, hopefully Hershey will rectify this issue, thus leaving -
Dollywood Discussion Thread
WildMouse replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, I had a chat with Pat Koch (lovely lady) about Dollywood's desire to install a Water Coaster next year. Their management had popped round to have a go on Wildebeest/Mammoth for research purposes. I'm not surprised that the experience left a great impression! And Mystery Mine didn't abuse my crotch in any shape or form, thankfully! -
Dollywood Discussion Thread
WildMouse replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
T'was I! I'm not exactly a regular poster on here. But at least you can put a face to the username now. And yes, just look at my face to see what I thought of Thunderhead. Seriously though. I LOVE this coaster. So wild! So relentless! Once over the lift hill, there is no letting up. Without a doubt my favourite ride at the park. Was wondering when I'd get round to riding a 'thrilling' GCI woodie and Dollywood provided me with just that! It was great to finally visit this park after years of pining/dreaming/daydreaming. The architecture is amazing and the landscaping is beautiful -
What is your next park?

What is the worst B&M/intamin/GCI
WildMouse replied to christianscoasters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
B&M - Mantis (Pain: The Ride)! Intamin - Expedition Ge Farce. Overrated waste of steel. Special mention must also go to Millennium Forceless (all looks and no substance!). GCI - Lightning Racer and Wildcat. Both were as dull as ditch water -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
WildMouse replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Darn thing (Wildcat) was closed when I visited CP in 08 (due to the accident). Hoped to tick it off the list during my return visit next month. Ain't going to happen now. Hey ho. Life goes on.
