1·1 year agoUpdate: Looks like that aforementioned family coaster probably isn’t going to Towers after all… I can’t imagine this will be SW9 https://twitter.com/RockyMtnConst/status/1692582198623576414
The Lemmy documentation explains the different sort options pretty well: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
The difference between “Hot” and “Active” is probably the most confusing to most users.

If its any consolation, there are many entries on your list I wish I could ride! I’ve just started planning a US east coast trip for next year with some friends so we’re hoping to hit King’s Dominion, BGW and SFGAdv (and maybe Nick Universe and Coney Island) but it’s still early days so hopefully we can get a plan together.
Here’s mine:
- Zadra - Energylandia
- Ride to Happiness - Plopasland De Panne
- Taron - Phantasialand
- Hyperion - Energylandia
- FLY - Phantasialand
- ICON - Blackpool Pleasure Beach
- Nemesis - Alton Towers
- Black Mamba - Phantasialand
- Oblivion - Alton Towers
- The Smiler - Alton Towers
Total credits: 136 (according to CoasterCount’s ‘Real Coaster’ definition)
I must admit… as I’ve gotten out to more parks, watching the Alton Towers’ (my local park) coasters slide down the list has been slightly sad haha.
Its going to take the record for tallest and fastest in the UK and its Thorpe’s first coaster since The Swarm in 2012, so its pretty exciting for us here in the UK. Hopefully, it’ll have plenty of airtime, which is something we’re sorely lacking right now! Also, I think much of the general public over here won’t have experienced airtime and inversions with lapbars before so it should be quite novel.
Quite a few people have complained about the short duration, but I’m hoping it’ll be a Nemesis-esque coaster which hits the brakes with lots of speed and leaves you wanting more, rather than petering out and overstaying it’s welcome.
