    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    Generalising a little but... do people in the US just refuse to be smart? Like, what's not clicking with them. Only in the US would it be a close race between an educated woman and a felon.

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Sadly not, it's as ugly as ever! Hopefully over the closed season we might see something!

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    True, but I guess because it's closing in late summer and not the end of the season, that's probably why.

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    RCDB haven't mentioned anything about a permanent closure either?

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    Me and my partner have booked tickets for our trip in September. Not going to lie, not super pleased that with a 14 day ticket, you're only allowed a single day at Epic Universe, but excited nonetheless.

    Efteling | Spookslot Replacement | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    I wish there were words I could use to explain to you how little you should read into Golden Ticket Awards.

    Efteling | Spookslot Replacement | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    Genuinely feel a bit sorry for Efteling, people keep leaking parts of this ride all the time! Makes John Burton tweeting about the Nemesis drone footage even goofier, Efteling create this beautiful ride (which will probably be a masterpiece) meanwhile he gets mad when somebody leaks the new...

    Mack Launch Coaster at Aquashow Family Park, Portugal

    Perhaps one of the models of Powersplash with a loop slapped in it?

    Mount Olympus is (still) sketchy

    Always interesting to hear what Ryan the mechanic thinks!

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    The big trim brake tells me it doesn't know how to use it...

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    As in I don’t think it’s even on par with other parks in Europe, let alone outside of that. I don’t know if you can say “European theming is world class” when there’s hundreds of theme parks with varying budgets and offerings. PHL, Europa Park and Efteling world class? Absolutely. Drayton Manor...

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    This coaster looks like a lovely addition and probably rides well from what I've seen. However if I hear another YouTuber claim that the theming around it is "world class" I might have a stroke! Have they tried? Yes, but I just don't see what they're seeing? It's not even on a European level let...

    Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

    Not sure if I read it here or elsewhere, but I've heard it's possible Universal are waiting until D23 in August to announce some new investments worldwide to draw the spotlight away from the mouse? I imagine if that were the case (not proven of course), this would be announced as going ahead...

    Kings Dominion | Rapterra | B&M Launched Wing Coaster | 2025

    I love how it's not even a 360⁰ roll anyway! If they're gonna be silly with these names I'd like them to at least try to be a little more accurate!

    WTF Merlin?

    Sorry to hear that you had a similar day to mine, it's not a good look for the park at all. Crazy that awful wages don't make people want to work harder! ;) I agree that if they've advertised opening hours, they should honour it and if not, partial refunds should be issued.

    WTF Merlin?

    It's been closing at 4pm at points for years now, I wouldn't expect better tbh!

    WTF Merlin?

    I genuinely don’t know if the crowd volumes were really the issue yesterday tbh. I’d say the over selling of fast pass, the 3 minute dispatches, the wildly inaccurate queue times and the ride reliability were what ruined the day. It was busy and that’s absolutely fair enough, but it wasn’t...

    WTF Merlin?

    Alton Towers was rather abysmal today, easily the worst day at a park in my lifetime, and yes I was expecting large crowds of school trips etc. Nemesis Reborn closed all day. Wicker Man went down multiple times. Oblivion went down multiple times. Thirteen went down multiple times. Curse at...

    Europa Park | 50th Anniversary Attraction | 2025

    Wasn't Geisterschloss just redone a few months ago? Or am I misremembering? Would be strange for them to do it up only to close it again, surely?

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    FINALLY had my chance to ride Hyperia yesterday, I live a three hour drive away so it's no longer my local park. To be honest, I was expecting it to be overhyped, I figured since it's in the UK (Thorpe, especially), the fellow goons were blowing it out of proportion a little. After my first go...
