    What is the UK's most Iconic piece of themeing / themed area?

    This links to question I often think about, in what area do you feel the most immersed? There are alot of areas which I love, Amity @ Thorpe. Forbidden Valley @ Alton but weirdly this little spot here always satisfies me the most; I think its the interaction with Vampire, the themed...

    Unknown rides outside of parks.

    I have vivid memories of the calamity canyon in Devon but had convinced myself it was a dream after not being able to find it (for some reason I thought it was at Paignton Zoo)! Another one that could be well known due to Desperado but Buffalo Bills in Primm is also home to a unique looking...

    Do you have any theme park guilty pleasures?

    Not so much a guilty pleasure but I'm obsessed with any sections of parks being indoors, not bothered about an individual ride being in its own building but when a collection of rides or a whole park is inside it really gets me going. Take Toverland shed, Plopsaland De panne shed and Nickelodeon...

    Unknown rides outside of parks.

    So this post is kinda inspired by someone on reddit who posted about the water ride in the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston TX, see below link... So it turns out theres a pretty cool looking ride that I had no idea existed, I love stuff like this, be it a themed area or random ride where you'd...

    Why do smaller theme parks in the UK seem to struggle more than similarly sized equivalents abroad?

    There are lots of factors to this and a lot get talked about regularly. The Merlin monopoly is probably the biggest factor, not an issue were it not for Merlins 'low bar' approach. We're above the rest in the country, we dont have to be particularly good we just have to be marginally better...

    Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach; overrated or underappreciated?

    As others have said its good but falls short of being great. On paper its an excellent ride and I genuinely think something as little as a 5/10 mph increase in both launches would see it become a snappy taronesque beast but currently its just too gentle and refined. That said it still sits in my...

    Your Favourite Ever CF Lives

    All of my favs have been mentioned through but gonna repeat them anyway; Sweden 2016. The parks, the rides, the group, the weather, everything went really well on this trip. Made more fun by being in the height of Pokémon Go. Italy 2015. Small group, great laughs, no drama, some quirky parks...

    Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

    The more I look at this the more i think they’re going to theme it to the abandoned original Jurassic Park that features in both the sequels to Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. Think they could do a really good job of that.

    Gröna Lund | Monster | B&M Invert | 2021

    Not arsed about he name but do think this will look pretty monstrous just because of its setting in the park, towering over and inbetween the buildings.

    Pure, Delicious Candymonium: Sarah & Scott's Trip to Hersheypark, 8/6/20

    Hershey is quickly climbing up my park priority list, I often forget how many high standard coasters they have and Candymonium only adds to that. Also another kudos to the trip report picture formatting!

    Silver Dollar City | Mystic River Falls | River Rapids

    The traditional rapids part looks great, it looks fast with a fair bit going on. I'm not a fan off the big drop part though, it just looks a bit fairground ridey, like the cheap storm surge esqe style. Think they could have made it look so much better without the helix at the top as wouldn't...

    Hi Arttu, there has been an issue processing you refund as your initial payment was made with Paypal buyer protection as opposed to a friends and family payment as requested. It should now be in your account.

    CANCELLED - Unfinnished Business | FINLAND |24th - 26th Jul 2020

    Hi all, It's with sadness that me and Ian have decided to cancel the Finland CF Live. We acknowledge that although there are still a couple of months until the Live was supposed to start, the Covid-19 situation remains uncertain and we think it's only fair to give you as much notice as...

    Hi all, we are in ongoing discussions with the parks and the hotels at this moment. RE hotels we have had confirmation from both that no payments need to be made until July.

    CANCELLED - Unfinnished Business | FINLAND |24th - 26th Jul 2020

    We are hoping that this trip will still go ahead, we would however suggest any individuals hold off booking any form of transport / accommodation at this moment in time. I will be sending an email to participants over the coming days confirming this.

    Hi All, Please note that we cautiously still intend on running this trip. We will be following government and park advice and have taken measures to ensure everyones money is protected as much as practicable. In doing this we are contacting hotels to delay payments to as close to the Live date...
