I am a big gamer and an avid collector of 'coffee table' books. Think big, heavy books typically dedicated to art of games or compendiums. I got to thinking, does anyone know of any coaster coffee table books? I have a couple of Disney Imagineering ones and Disneyland Paris Sketch to Reality...

Chessington Buzz on Twitter EDIT: I may have misunderstood the process. There is a crane on site but they seem to have moved it to the booster launch so I guess they can get it back to the station from there

And I see on Twitter that Mandrill Mayhem has stalled at the bottom of the helix and there is a crane on site removing the train. Can't see that being open tomorrow. FFS

I believe there was an electrical fire on the train so a lot of new parts were needed. There is speculation the ride might leave in the coming years so I would imagine the park were thinking about removing it. Some shipping crates from Mack were seen next to the ride a few weeks ago so I'm...

Chessington Passholder day on Sunday. Unavailable rides: Dragons Fury, Tomb Blaster, Scorpion Express, Tiger Rock, Monkey Swinger, Seastorm and Tiny Truckers. Not ideal.

Presented without comment

You can no longer view the Q times on the AT app unless you are physically in the park. Great way to discourage locals to take a spur of the moment visit to the park. The Chessington and Thorpe app have not followed suit yet

Saw this doing the rounds on Twitter. Apparently there's a kebab shop 10 minutes away that's half the price and a 5 star rating. Come on Merlin. I know this is Aramark and not directly yourselves, but they are representing your brand and damaging it

Enjoying my last day at Port Aventura today got me thinking, what non-UK coaster is most ridden by the UK public? Dragon Khan was one of my early thoughts. Open since the mid 90s at a popular Spanish holiday resort frequented by Brits. Then a few others came to mind: - Big Thunder Mountain and...

Company developing London Resort theme park on Swanscombe Peninsula call in adminstrators

London Resort to file for Company Voluntary Administration Another twist in the tale. I don't really fully understand the business speak but it seems it's not quite officially dead yet, but is on life support

If you've ever done the front row of Shambala then the answer is a definite no.
