@tinateaspoon80 @mobiusb2 @Luke4152 Mental isn't it

@mobiusb2 @Luke4152 But it went on with others saying yes there is a dress code… all removed 😂😂😂

I have some exciting theme park trips coming up that with Phoenix Adventures, a Coach Company this 2025/26 year :) - 28/12/2025 - Toverland (Netherlands) - 18-01-2026 - Efteling - 28-03-2026 - Disneyland Paris (France) - 15-05-2026 - Walibi Belgium - 31-10-2026 - Walibi Holland

Cannot wait to go to Efteling and Toverland this month to get some more coaster creds could well be in my 70s or 80s this year alone :)

Ride Count Taron – 10 Black Mamba – 20 F.L.Y. – 2 Crazy Bats – 1 Chiapas – 1 Colorado Adventure – 2 Deep in Africa Trail – 2 Feng Ju Palace – 1 Geister Rikscha – 1 Mystery Castle – 3 Raik – 1 RiverQuest – 1 Talocan – 1 Funhouse 2 Winjas Fear 3 Winjas Force 3 Chair Swing 1

My new number 1 coaster is a night ride on Taron after my trip to Phantasialand, and my most ridden coaster is now Black Mamba, even the ride operator knew me because I kept lapping it and got 20 rides on it by the end of the trip :)

My new number 1 coaster is Helix at Liseberg. Can Taron beat it next week when I visit Phantasialand, which will be my 50th coaster cred? The theme parks in the EU are so much better than the UK parks by miles! So more trips are needed next year, including returning to Liseberg

My new number 1 flat ride Loke at Lisberg

As I teach a L4 module in Web Development and Design module in my day job, I need to upskill on this, so I am now working on an Interactive CoasterPawn blog website, learning ASP.NET and some advanced PHP templating to take my web skills to the next level.

@ThemeParkWW Cant wait to do a night ride

Hyperia has turned red for Fright Nights and it looks amazing 🔥

@themeparkcreat2 The back row is so good, great ejector air-time, looking forward to some night rides in October :)

One week ago I was lapping Hyperia on a sunny London afternoon. If I close my eyes and focus real hard, I can still feel my body never touching the seat because the entire ride is airtime

Happy to hear about Drayton Manor opening some good rides over Xmas to include Gold Rush, Malestorm and The Wave, plus some other good rides. Going to renew my season ticket at the end of October.

Great track to fall asleep to after a busy day in the classroom, teaching.

@TPNBen No chance in the rain for me but what a ride Hyperra is

Who needs Tidal Wave?

@tinateaspoon80 @ChessingtonBuzz @eurotwist97 Yeap it's the only reason why I stay at Thorpe being a non driver when I go do night rides on Hyperra, Swarm, Inferno, Colouous (will queue for front only tho), Vortex, Top Scan I think I will pass on Saw LOL 🤣 🤣

@ChessingtonBuzz @eurotwist97 Oh 😬💀 Saying this I am refusing to stay at any Merlin hotels or buy any food atm. Such a pain when you can’t drive and have to stay onsite for convenience.

only Merlin parks would close one of their hotels less than a week before you're due to stay and then try to move you to a hotel that's not the same value as your original room

Any theme park coaster fans been on Swarm when they had the backwards seat?

I could listen to the Hyperia, Chiapas, Taron and Helix music soundtracks all day. I do often put it on when students are working on tasks I set them :) Some of them would never know its even theme park releted except the ones who has been on the coasters :)

@tinateaspoon80 @AttractionSc How many launches does it have?

@CoasterPawn @AttractionSc Helix is my favourite Mack launch coaster. Fixed my back 🤣

Helix is a Mack Multi Launch Coaster located at Liseberg in Gothenburg, Sweden. With a track length of 1381 meters, this design masterpiece hugs the hillside terrain while providing epic views of the city and the rest of the park below. What is your favourite Mack launch coaster?

You cannot beat a bit of theme park music to unwind to after a busy week, and I've got my favourite coaster on now, but the question is, will it remain number 1 for long? 53 days to go till Pantisland to ride Taron plus other top rides!
