I am sorry for the radio silence recently. I will be back up and running soon, hopefully with the help of my talented friends.

Here is a fantastic shot of the Blackpool skyline from the European Coaster Club.

We’ve all seen this amazing photo of the ‘Screw Coaster’ at the now abandoned Nara Dreamland in Japan. Unfortunately I don’t know who to credit for the original image :( So I thought I’d find a photo of what it used to look like The fence and benches make it look uncannily like Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 recreation! Check out RCDB for more, and for the photo credit.

I think this photo gives some much-needed scale to this coaster. It really is quite a bit taller than Stealth!
