    Whilst seeing some old colleagues from my time working on the floor at a theme park, my road trip of last year came into conversation. This quickly grew into reminiscing of planning similar trips whilst working on the platform of some of the coasters we used to work on together. Next thing I...

    Serious incident at Silver Dollar City

    Can’t access the info in the UK but this link appeared on my last doomscroll on twitter before I went to sleep. Hoping there’s a reasonable explanation and it’s nothing fatal. Would someone with access to the article mind posting some info...

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    Wasn't really sure where to post this as the Duel 2023 thread has been locked, but maybe some of the rumours about something happening to it for 2023 are coming to fruition? Something something about something about being overlayed back to The Haunted House? (possible closing date being 6th...

    5 Years Later - European Road Trip: Phantasialand [final post]

    It’s surely common knowledge that if you have seen me comment on ride technicalities, I will often use it as an opportunity to apply anecdotal information I picked up during my season working at Europa Park in 2017. During this time I made quite a few close friends, some of which I remain in...

    B&M Proximity Sensors

    Extremely nerdy and stupid question, and apologies in advance mods if this is inappropriate thread making, but does anyone know the brand that B&M use for their proximity sensors? I've tired a few local sources but no one can give me a definitive answer. Thanks!

    The best European Annual Pass

    Sorry if someone else has made this before, BUT In a fiery haze of planning totally unrealistic road trips round and round Europe over and over again next year, I thought it would be interesting to discuss and compare the perks, prices and bits and bobs of various larger European theme park...

    Wood treatment on wooden coasters

    Hi all, Im doing some research into wood construction for my dissertation. I've only got a few days until my hand in and I just realised I haven't given alternate options for some wooden elements of my project, but i thought it would be quite funky and cool to try and transition something from...

    Havin a Nice in New York n Tha'

    Havin a Nice in New York n tha' - Six Flags New England, Lake Compounce & Coney Island Just come back from spending 2 and a bit weeks in America. Fantastic time to say the least. It was quite a depressing place until you got to the beach. A nice facade to disguise the backdrop. The old...

    Working at Europa Park

    so I just spent 3 months of my life working at Europa Park and I'd go as far to say it's probably the best 3 months I've ever had. I worked as part of the European Summer Programme and was placed on the Arthur attraction for my duration, where I essentially just worked the same as any other...
