That TR was awesome. Great pics too. I haven't been to BGW myself but oh how I wish I could. You mentioned a ride called Corkscrew hill and I was wondering what that was? Is is some sort of an indoor ride?

It's a simulator, "new" with Ireland, but it was really cool. The theme was that you turned into a Leprechaun or Fairy, but it was cool because it wasn't boring and dull, it really had extreme movements, providing a cool simulation.

Great TR! I just went to BGW on Monday, And I would have to totally agree with you on Curse of Dar Kastle, It is the best Dark ride I have ever been on. (well except maybe Indian Jones and the temple of Doom at DL in Cali!)

It is better than Nitro. It has more air, and a better first drop. Sure, it's not as fast, but it's only 7 MPH less, and the helix is much better too.

Wow, nice TR. Meat pictures. Looks like Lockness Monster is rough from the photo. =)

I notice that BGW really does a good job of keeping the coasters looking nice. There all painted and look great.

Depending on where you are on loch ness, you'll get a wide range of different rides. The front is a bit rough, but it's really only a few jerky moments every now and then, unless if you don't press your head as far into the cushion as possible on the first drop. You don't do that, get ready for one fun head banger experience.
