    My New Music Video - I'll Be There

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my new music video with you. This shoot was a far 'simpler' one than the last and it was literaly a two-man shoot so I don't really have any photos to show the process. I will just say it was a really enjoyable (but chilly) day of singing on the beach. It's...

    Theme Parks in Snow

    There is something about a quiet theme park in the snow that I think is beautiful. Coaster track looks particularly nice. Given that most theme parks are off season closed when the snow comes (particularly in the UK – no idea about overseas) it can be hard to get pictures of it all unless the...

    I found this whilst poking around some of the Disney fansites and thought it was an incredible idea and a really interesting read. Imagine a Magic Kingdom style park that would be based on a 'ship' that could sail around the world and dock in in countries that did not have their own Disney...

    Can Theming Ruin A Coaster?

    Quite often we find ourselves talking about how a theme enhances a coasters experience, its impact and its reridability. There have been various debates over the years as to whether a theme actually adds anything at all or whether it is important or not. I think it is safe to say that in...

    Is Living Bad For Your Health?

    Watching the BBC News last night something struck me. Not so long ago, the hot topic was Smoking. It seemed as though the government and health officials were spending a lot of energy and focus in telling us all how bad smoking was and how we should stop (as if we didn't know already). They...
