Plans for 2014

At a high level I'm looking to do the following.

Capitals

  • Bucharest @ Romania
  • Sofia @ Bulgaria (NEW)
  • New Delhi @ India (NEW)
  • Reykjavik @ Iceland (NEW)
  • Dakar @ Senegal (NEW)
  • Rabat @ Morocco (NEW)


Coasters
Estimate is around 80 but I'm happy if I go to 100, unhappy if I go higher; I really need to keep the hobby under control.





2013 Year in Review

I had no new countries visited this year but I did still manage to visit the following.

  • Ireland
  • Northern Ireland (twice)
  • Scotland (twice)
  • Wales
  • America (twice)
  • China
  • Italy


78 parks (there were more with no coasters)
17 fairs
5 Ridge Riders

and from those I was able to ride 156 new coasters. This is down on last year's 227 but is still too many so I'll be doing less next year. I did reach 1400 (Maximus @ Crealy's) and 1500 (Space Coaster @ M&D's). I only have around 70 to ride in 2014 if I'm to reach 1600.

More importantly some of my holidaying had nothing to do with coasters. I had a blast in January visiting Seattle for Twin Peak locations and the Cirque shows in Vegas, and I'm considering doing similar again next year.

Tracking Bobby Dean

We have a new MP, and so I thought I'd keep an eye on what he delivers vs what he said he would. These are taken from his website and el...
