There's a pinball museum in Krakow?! <looks it up> That looks awesome! Medieval Madness, Monster Bash, Scared Stiff, Attack from Mars, Road Show, Junkyard, Funhouse, Theatre of Magic! I'm drooling all over the keyboard here. I've been to the one in Vegas but this looks even better - it sells...

Also worth a mention... Entertainment! - Gang of Four Can't Stand The Rezillos - The...err...Rezillos Germ Free Adolescents - X Ray Spex ...and my absolute favourite from that period, from a band that would never release anything nearly as good again... The Scream - Siouxsie and the Banshees

I take a minimalist approach. Car keys, a small water bottle and a credit card. An old phone too, although I'll happily leave that behind if I know I'm going to a park that won't let you on some rides with one in your pocket. Any kind of bag is just too onerous, especially at a park with...

Yeah, they used to be called Treets. And you got toffee ones too. Speaking of old British names for confectionery that were replaced with the American versions, one change in particular spoiled a perfectly decent joke... I entered a marathon last week. Got chocolate all over my knob.

One of the worst parks I've ever visited too. The ops were ridiculously poor throughout the park. When I went with Mrs. Flavors there was bizarre pricing whereby it was cheaper for me to buy an annual pass and use the free "bring a friend" ticket than buying two advance online day tickets. Had...

When I posted the pricing details I hadn't yet seen the hotel room you get for $1200 pppn, but it was in the link that @Matt N provided. I mean - look at it! Positively pisspoor for the money. I'd honestly prefer a half decent Super 8 motel to this tiny cubicle...

Room rates for the Galactic Starcruiser hotel/experience thang revealed 😲 Also... They couldn't even throw in a few beers or some cheap wine for that price?! From a CNN article.

I'll see your Smartie and raise you a Galaxy Minstrel. A mate of mine's dad used to work as a packaging designer at the Mars factory in Slough and he took a few of us on a tour. One of the most awesome machines in a factory brimming with awesomeness was the one that printed the "m" on the M&Ms...

Apologies if I upset you. Please bear in mind that I'm from the UK, which to all intents and purposes is now a secular country. But it remains that the percentage of Christians who are anti-science due to their beliefs (mainly Biblical inerrancy) is significantly higher in the States than it is...

Is there a reason Saw and Rage make the list but not Speed? I loathe EuroFighters so I'm not really in a position to compare them since they're all one-and-done in my case.

I go one step further by using Street View to get the exact location of the entrance then pinpointing that location in the SatNav, rather than using any address supplied by the park itself. It might sound like overkill, but I've been let down by GPS too many times in the past.

It used to be a separate ticket but as of 2017 it's included in the wristband. Handily, that was the year I visited!

What's that all about then?

I just watched this last night. I'm not a huge fan of the band either (in fact, I'd have struggled to name more than a handful of their songs), but it really is a highly entertaining watch.

Isn't a single ride on the Cyclone ten bucks or something? Worth buying the wristband just for several rides on that I'd have said, with the rest of the coasters as gravy.

Yeah, I did mean it as a joke based on the fact that they've still got a sign up claiming it to be the world's smallest. I guess it's quite possible it was never the smallest coaster in the wrorld.

Let us know what happened with the rental company after you finish your trip then. It might help to temper the insane jealousy I'm feeling over your awesome trip :D
