Join us on our visits to Theme Parks / Amusement Parks around the UK and Europe. I usually visit with family members, including my 8 year old ( as of early 2024 ) who is now keen on Thrill Coasters when tall enough to ride. Although keen on Thrill Coasters, we explore the different Parks and enjoy Family Coasters and other attractions.
@@coastermumclaire7996 Nice we are going in July but for 6 days and staying in Hotel Kronasar. (4 days park and 2 days rolantica). Our first time so we are doing it right.
Really interesting to hear all of your thoughts on the Voltron train/seat issue, as I’ve read all the same things as you, going Europa Park for the first time with my 8 year old daughter and was starting to get a little bummed out about the rattle reports.. so really glad you all got good rides in the end, I’ll be sure to stick her in a middle seat and hopefully we don’t get a dodgy train so we both get good rides! Sad to see the first launch door remains open for the trick track sequence, anyone say anything about that being fixed or is it staying open from now on?
The inner seats are generally smoother with less rattle but I think the main issue is the trains. Chloe's best and most comfortable ride was her first ride on an outside seat, but mine was my second ride on an inner seat. Don't let it put you off though as it was no where near as bad as some coasters we've been on, just that it can spoil what is a unique World Class Ride and I believe they are trying to sort out the issue. It is easily within our top ten Coasters and I have ridden approaching 200 different Coasters.
@@coastermumclaire7996 wow that’s really good to hear, does sound to be the odd train then rather than the wing seats. Weird they don’t sort it though if most trains are fine. Btw I know what you mean about the first love coaster (yours silver star) mine was Montu in Florida when I was a kid. It’s a soppy emotion that most wouldn’t understand, obviously you do!
@@danparker3093 Will always love Silver Star. Chloe's special coaster is Alpina Blitz at Nigloland in France, it's the coaster that gave her the love of Coasters and Airtime.
@@danparker3093 its said that there are 2 faulty trains that being train 5 and train 4 which is the worst one. I’ve had one ride on train 4 when I was inside so I didn’t feel that much of a rattle but my friend on the wing seat did quite a bit, but on every other ride that wasn’t train 4 it was very enjoyable and I didn’t notice any of rattle or bumpiness and neither did he. On the next ride I was ok the exact same seat as he was on train 4 when it was so bad but just that it was train 6 and I was totally fine. But they are trying to fix the 2 faulty trains just habe to wait until they do it.
Must admit, I'm not a fan of The Big One, find it rough and not much to it after the First Drop. It does feel high though, recently rode Silver Star at Europa Park which is higher than the Big One, but did not feel as High when riding it.
Sounds like an issue where the block ahead was showing as not clear so the train was stopped. Have to remember the train in front as a guess has to be fully in the station to clear the block behind.its very possible the ride has a diesel backup to power the lift to return the ride to ground level rather than evac at height and the engineers were preparing themselves to use that as a worst case scenario.
Sounds that could be possible, or maybe a faulty sensor showing something on the track therefore stopping the train before navigating the lift hill. They seem to have sorted it, whatever it was, as has been running since the next day.
Hopefully just teething problems, was running the next day. Have read a lot of people suggesting it was a sensor problem after there being a lot of rain that morning.
It is an incredible Flat Ride, fantastic theming and very intense. It would appear that the Project Ocean at Alton Towers is going to be a Huss Inverted Top Spin so lets hope that is as good ❤
This is a suspended Top Spin as opposed to the original Top Spin like Ripsaw at Alton Towers. It is manufactured by Huss and according to Wikipedia they are constructing another Suspended Top Spin at Alton Towers Ripsaw 2, if correct this must be Project Ocean.
One fantastic family. I love when the kids come in first way in life. Always remember we are nothing without our family in this days. Must God always take good care of your great family.
❤ Absolutely LOVED spending those special, memorable moments with you. Love you all and miss you soooo very much. Will be doing this again with you all one day! Leo, Amy, Claire and Chloe, thank you for uplifting my heart 🎉 Loads and loads of love ❤❤❤
Shame it only span two times, but glad you enjoyed it. I went on with Chloe after this fimed ride with Chloe for her second go. She said it didn't feel as intense on the second go and cycle wasn't quite as long, but still enjoyed it as did I x
@@coastermumclaire7996 that’s the problem is they can randomly change the auto cycle number for no reason so everyone gets a different cycle compared to others
Miss you all sooooooo much sweetheart 😘 I was sooo brave...to begin with....then EVERYTHING CHANGED! Sorry for screaming soooo loud, Chloe is soooo calm 😂. Love you both so very very much. Thank you for looking after us and for helping me to scream my heart out! Not done that in such a long time! Going to pass this to Dan 😂 ❤❤❤xxxxxxx
Another Mack Rides rollercoaster, Dwervelwind looks incredibly similar to Storm Chaser (Paultons Park), ive ridden a few Mack Rides rollercoasters myself, Hyperia i reckon will dominate over Ride to Happiness, nice 1 Claire
Not done Storm Chaser as was not completed last time we were at Paultons Park. Can't wait for Hyperia but very much doubt it will rival Ride to Happiness.
