That "go home" in the middle feels almost deliberate right now.

Yep I get a lot of short form (5-10minute) political & historical content. Some slop for sure but 70% is educational or informative content. If the ban goes through I'll be sad to lose the US based creators I've learned from. Other short form algos don't seem capable of finding me the same content.

When I first joined TikTok it tried giving me a Jordan Peterson video, then a Ben Shapiro video. I said I wasn't interested in those, and my algorithm has served me nothing but leftist, pro LGBTQ content since. Maybe I avoided a rabbit hole (this was also peak Tate era) but it's been great for me.

Hellfire is still among the very best Disney songs ever. Not as a heartstring puller like most of their other top songs, but for storytelling it's one of the most powerful of all time.

#2 for me, but my top tier (Ride to Happiness, SteVe, Voltron) are pretty interchangeable. My night rides on SteVe this summer were another level, flying through that wood structure in the dark with all that violent airtime is incredible.

Yeah seems we're still waiting for news but I'm hopeful. As much as anything I'd love am elite Halloween horror nights event in the UK. Plus if we had anything close to Velocicoaster over here I'd be down there most weekends!

Yeah there's a good number of us here, seems a super friendly community so far! Alicia Stella's starter pack (check her profile, go to the starter pack tab) is good if you want Universal news. Mostly US based but still.

There's a lot of speculation about the 400ft tall extreme spinner tower coaster that was in surveys, but the capacity would be a nightmare unless they can work a switch track in there and turn it into a full circuit... Never got to do Kingda Ka so I'm hoping it's something equally worth the visit.

You definitely should try it! It's a bit less intimidating at night if that helps, I got my mom (not a coaster person) on that way. Also it's actually a ride you might fit much better on, no over the shoulder restraints is a godsend for tall people, and no shin restraints which are usually worse!

Yes to Voltron and Ride to Happiness! I've done both in the past two months and the new Mack's are incredible.
