Also a nice cover picture showing the truly magnificent El Toro, to date my favorite wooden coaster and of course the famous Kinda. Well done the Oakwood charity riders! Another superb read, and great write-ups by Rowan for the Koaster Krazy trip and Marcus for the Ravine Flyer II - which I can't wait to ride! _________________ Steve Member of 'non rollback' Stratacoaster club 06/08.

As has been said, the cover shot is great.  Even got the train on the minetrail ride in the picture, nice touch. And I love the 'hint' on the back page - Ravine Flyer II on club trip in 2009.  I'm sure it's going to be yet another amazing trip. Talking of photographs - are the ones featured in AIRtime available to view on the web anywhere?  There are always some amazing shots, but they are so frustratingly small. _________________ Now counting my coasters at http://www.coastercounter.com/bradpeet - which even has the snails Back to top adey Kiddie Poster Joined: 12 Oct 2007 Posts: 46 Location: south manchester Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 6:23 pm    Post subject: got ours today in stockport. another great read. _________________ its got to be done rccgb 337 [center][url="http://www.fwauk.com/index.php?src=s1"][/url][/center] Back to top Happy Helen Mega Poster Joined: 14 Oct 2007 Posts: 387 Location: Bristol Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 5:19 pm    Post subject: Got mine yesterday.

Took one look at Kinda Ka and said, no thank you   I would do most coasters, but El Toro and KK I could not handle. This is why I don't do Hydro at Oakwood, I hate over steep drops, though I have no problems with Eurofighters, but hey I'm just weird. _________________ Don't look at me, I'm just Human Dare to ride Hayling's Log Flume without a CAGOULE?

For me the initial launch on rides such as KK and TTD is more scary than the rest of the ride. I also had no problem with the drops on Phantom's revenge. In fact I found Phantom's Revenge to be a very pleasant ride. One of my favorite coasters. _________________ Steve Member of 'non rollback' Stratacoaster club 06/08.

I enjoyed it and the artical by Rowen made more memories of a great USA trip and makes me look forward to 2009. _________________ Memeber of the 08 Top Thrill Rollback Club +  Member of the "First to be denied SAW by Technical Failure" club.
