It takes 32 minutes to walk to the station from my house. At 7am, it takes 7 minutes to drive. At 8am during half term? 8 minutes. At 8am during term time? 25-40. Walking is often quicker

This is the case on c2c and the Elizabeth line (although bizarrely, only outside the core stations on the latter)
I don't think it's much to do with the TOC but I could be wrong about that!

Hehe they have definitely improved thank goodness. Ripsaw though was an absolute soaker and I didn't think we'd see the likes at Alton Towers again. I'm not sure if I'd like to be wrong about that or not 🤔

A wet ride? At Towers? I er, have my doubts 😆

Well worth, it's a busy but solid park

My top 5 'new to me in 2024' coasters:
1. Toutatis, Parc Asterix
2. Voltron, Europa Park
3. Steel Vengeance, Cedar Point
4. Maverick, Cedar Point
5. Gold Striker, California's Great America
Hyperia didn't quite make the cut at number 6 😊

It's just added realism, flapping its wings before takeoff 😏

Interesting! This would be a reasonable excuse. Most other parks though, not so much 😛

Since I can't edit posts here, that's meant to be 2024, not 2022 ☺️

This is possibly the best setting for a roller coaster of all time...
