English rollercoaster called Wicker Man, its thing is that it's on fire It's not just the first wooden coaster built in a long time, it's not just that it's got awesome themeing and it's on fire, it's genuinely an awesome comptetently-made novel wooden coaster in its own right We didn't get to do this one last time, 'cause it Actually went on fire a bit

The Smiler takes the piss tbh Y'know how most rollercoasters, they come out the station and go up a hill right? This bastard drops you down a pitch black tunnel and does a corkscrew and then you arrive at the lift hill Would you believe me if I told you this rollercoaster does SEVEN inversions before it finally stops Well it does, and then there's a sign saying HALFWAY DONE! and you go up another lift hill, this time VERTICAL, you climb STRAIGHT UP on your BACK, and then it does seven MORE inversions It's the sort of ride you make in Rollercoaster Tycoon when you're twelve, and it somehow exists in the real world

@ifixcoinops@retro.social It reminds me of the city of Sigil from Planescape:Torment

@ifixcoinops@retro.social I've been on a lot of rollercoasters, as you do. But the scariest one by far for me was always the ricketty old wooden thing at Luna Park in St Kilda, Melbourne.
