Numbers 151 to 200
|
|
This is an
ongoing record of the roller coasters I have ridden.
I've numbered every roller coaster to show the order
which I rode them in. I've also put an extra number in
brackets. This number is the coaster count of English
roller coasters I've ridden, as I thought it would be
interesting to keep track of that in this log as
well.

Megaphobia
Oakwood |
|
|
2006
didn't see me taking any long holidays, but I did
do a lot of short trips, France, as well as
Germany later on, and of course my first chance to
get to Oakwood. In time for Megaphobia's 10th
anniversary, and to do the newly opened
Speed.

The
Bobsleigh

This one
is a controversial count, I count it as it's a
full circuit, without having to take the cars off
the track at any
point.

Doing the

although it was done before
that.

Coaster

This is

for a Joe Pasquali show I was determined to do
this one quickly before the
show.

This is
my 50th coaster of 2006, and there's still a few
more to go. It could have been more if I hadn't
missed around 10 due to rides not operating, and
other circumstances beyond my
control. |

A really
cheap deal with Easy Jet meant I could do this

missed on previous
visits.

Rage
Adventure Island |
|
|
My first
coaster for 2007 was perhaps the most significant
ride to open in the UK in 2007, the fantastic Rage
at Adventure Island. It was also a milestone for
me, because if you add the 4 Oakwood coasters I've
done this was my 100th British roller
coaster.

I had a
weekend free before my trip to Cleethorpes and
Flamingo Land, so I decided to do a couple of
local parks I'd never got round to trying before,
and discovered two nice small parks, and added 2
good coasters to my
count.

Velocity
Flamingo Land |

|
We did
this trip as we got a cheap caravan for a week
from a deal in one of the papers. My girlfriend
wanted to do Skegness, but we ended up with one of
our secondary choices of Cleethorpes. I thought it
would be easy to get a bus or train to Skegness
from their, turns out I was wrong and their where
no direct transport links. I did discover though
we could do Flamingo Land, if we got a train from
Cleethorpes at 6AM, which as you can see is
exactly what we did.
We got there as the park
opened, when it was really quiet, first thing
there where only about 10 people in the park, all
waiting for Velocity to open up for it's first
run.

One good
thing about the Thorpe Park (the one in
Cleethorpes, not Surrey) caravan park is it had
Pleasure Island right next door to it, we could
even see some of the rides from our
caravan.

I've done 10 coasters with the world Dragon

spinning, but this is only my second boomerang
coaster. Can't say I'm too disappointed by
that. |

The New Beast

This is
the 3rd coaster I've discovered I've ridden at a
much later date, this time while looking through
the roller coaster database. How was I supposed to
realize they took away one coaster, and replaced
it with almost an exact copy of the same
ride?

Disneyland Paris |
|
|
The end
of October 2007 saw us take a trip to Disneyland
Paris for the Halloween festivities. These are
well worth doing, especially the big celebration
on Halloween night itself. It also gave us a
chance to try this coaster which was new for
2007.

Bobova Draka Prosek Bobsleigh (Click Here For
Website)
Prague |
|
|
After
doing Disney Land we headed over to Prague for 5
days. There isn't that much in the way of rides in
Prague, although given it's current success as a
tourist destination it strikes me as a good place
to start off a new amusement park.
This was my
third visit to Prague, but I've never ridden
anything at the Cities only small amusement park
due to the fact I've always visited to late in the
year. This time this Bobsleigh coaster was open in
Prague.
If your interested you can get to it by
getting the Metro to the Palmovka station, and
then using one of the buses to get to a bus stop
called Kelerka, which is only two stops away on
the right route.
It's a very good bobsleigh
run, it was a lot bigger than I thought it
would be and you can get up a very good turn of
speed. Well worth seeking out if your in
Prague.

Megablitz
Weiner
Prater |

My first
trip of 2008 was to Weiner Prater in Vienna. A
great cross between an amusement park and a
European funfair. Although it lacked a major
signature coaster it more than made up for it with
such a large number of great rides in a very small
place including a large number of different roller
coasters. |
