This is something which bugs me. Personally, I have to wash any new items before I don them for the first time :P

So, what do you use? Electric for me! You can't beat that deep clean feeling :wink:

The Blackpool attractions have been on my “must do” list for a while now. It had been years since I’d last visited the Pleasure Beach, so was pretty excited to experience the rides from an enthusiast point of view. This is quite long (sorry) Day one - BPB Setting off early on a hot, hazy...

Right, well with a bit of luck I'll be going to Blackpool very soon, and was wondering how rough the wooden coasters were? I hated Stampida...

I'm not one for big wheels and the like. You're up there, 80 ft or so in the air, swaying above all that concrete... Not my cup of tea!

*warning, this is long* After a brief delay at East Midlands airport, I finally arrived at Hotel Portaventura after 11.00pm at night. Tired and very hungry, we grabbed a drink at the on-site café before heading to bed. I wolfed down a quick breakfast the next day before eagerly heading out...

Arrived just after 9.00am at a very quiet Alton Towers! Made my way straight to Nemesis, but had to wait due to being the only person on the ride. In the end a member of staff went round with me. It was pretty surreal being the only person in Forbidden Valley. Rita next! The tunnel looks...

Who's ridden one? They've fascinated me for a while actually. I wouldn't mind doing the Mieders Alpine coaster one day.

A little NL project I'm working on. I've completed half of the layout now, but am a little stuck for ideas after the brake run. Anyway, here's a few pictures of the progress so far: The first drop and vertical loop The Zero G, cobra roll and brake run

Very exciting news! According to TowersStreet, Oblivion will receive a much needed repaint and some TLC. The Sanctuary is also set to return for the 2013 season. Good times :)

Am I only one that doesn't care much when it comes to park shows and the like? I know they play a major part in the ultimate theme park experience, but I don't have the patience to sit through singing and dancing if there's a top notch B&M within the vicinity.

There are several rumours going around that PA want to do away with Furius Baco. The park are investigating possible(?) health problems and complaints from riders. Assuming this to be true, it'll be interesting to see what PA use as a replacement attraction. Source: PortAventura Noticias

My last theme park trip of the season! While the fireworks display itself is usually good and worth seeing, it’s the rides at night which really make the day. I arrived just after 3.00 on a bitterly cold afternoon. There was quite a bit of traffic at the entrance to the park, although staff...

Well it's nearing that time of year again. What do you do to get through the closed season? I'll admit to eating lunch in Drayton Manor's car park. There's something very surreal about a theme park in winter - I love it.

Well that’s my biggest (and best) trip of the year over. I know Alton received some criticism for their choice of lighting in certain areas, but the whole atmosphere was just incredible. Day 1 Arrived at the park just after 4.00 and headed straight for Forbidden Valley. I did Nemesis several...

This song is the latest thing to go viral across the intarwebz, so it deserves a poll :wink:

Does anyone know what the cable is for that travels much of the track's length? I've often wondered.

My latest RCT3 project. Now there's no back story or much to see just yet, but I thought I'd showcase the progress so far. The entrance plaza and car park Falcon - a B&M inverted coaster. This coaster features four inversions and interacts with the landscape. A Nemesis style helix, with...

It looks like Th13teen has now replaced Rita on the ERT list. Link

Just read this on the Facebook page: Incidents like this don't happen too often in the UK, so I thought it was worth reporting. It's absolutely tragic and my condolences go out to the family.
