Oh it's beautiful! 🥰 I kinda knew it would be, it's Efteling after all, but... I wasn't expecting that. A return visit to Efteling has now become a priority.

It's on FaceBook too, in English this time: https://www.facebook.com/share/hsQpxobZGwfyHPVj/ *He says, and then proceeds to post a link that appears on here in Swedish. 🤦‍♂️ But when you click on it, FB auto-translates it, Insta doesn't. Well, not for me it didn't anyway. In a nutshell...

For the longest time I was still a wee bit peeved that we weren't getting a B&M hyper in the UK, but after seeing these most recent pictures I've officially changed my mind. I'm now glad we're getting this instead. Just the shape of it on the skyline, it's already one of the most instantly...

That drop is giving me a semi. What I didn't realise until now is that it seems to go beyond vertical before twisting round the other way. I kind of expected it to start twisting immediately after cresting the lift hill. Airtime in the back gonna be ludicrous.

Maybe we're asking the wrong question here. Maybe there's a bit of a cause-and-effect conflict going on. How can I put this? Maybe you appreciate a ride more because you've had multiple rides on it, not because the ride required it. Ya get me? A night time marathon with no wait on an elite...

Current front runner is Fury 325, that's an itch I've been dying to scratch for a number of years now. Skyrush and Lightning Rod have been vying for second place for ages too, although that was based on Lightning Rod v1.0. I suspect that Lightning Rod v3.5, or whatever it will be by the time I...

Uhm...

You make it look and sound ok, but I gotta say, Magic Kingdom is not only my least favourite Disney park, it's one of my least favourite parks full stop. I actually think it's a bad park with sh*t attractions (Tron excepted) and unbearable crowds. How they have the audacity to charge 150 bucks...

Ooh this will be interesting. I saw on Fb that you'd quietly slinked off to Dubai without telling anyone and thought to myself 'I wonder if he'll do a trip report? 🤔

Yeah, this, totally. Makes you wonder why they didn't just buy a Vekoma family boomerang instead, it does pretty much the same thing. Oh yes... that's right, they already have one of those. 🙄

I don't get it. At first, I couldn't get my head around what this coaster actually does. Now that we do know what it does thanks to these animations, I still don't get it. I mean... what I don't understand is.... why? What's it supposed to achieve? What's the point of it? I'm still not...

Always a fascinating read. I look at the pictures of these huge, lavish parks with no people in 'em and think 'Aw, that looks awesome', then I read about the faff involved in getting there and think 'Ugh, that sounds awful'. And by the way, balls of steel for going anywhere near Wuhan. Where...

The only Vekoma that makes my top 10% is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind so Imma have to say that. It's a really good ride, loads of fun, I'd say Top 40ish, maybe? Although that's largely to do with the audio and the lavish theming rather than the ride hardware itself. Tron: Lightcycle...

What's the latest on Project Horizon? Is that still pencilled in for 2025? What I'm getting at here is, if this new flat ride is gonna be the new for 2025 ride (because I can't see it opening this year), does that mean that the new cred over in coaster corner is now gonna be 2026? Or did we...

You don't need to read yet another trip report from Plopsaland. Over the last couple of years there's been shed loads of 'em - Hell, two of them were from me. You've read all the reviews, watched all the pov's and you already know where I stand on The Ride To Happiness (it's the best coaster in...

That's a good point actually, do we know that Sub Terra will be back this year? Or was it just a temporary thing while Nemmy was out of action? Maybe that will be the kicker that you were on about? 🙄

Yeah, what witchfinder said. Not to mention the flags, the cheering knights for the winning side, the groans for the losers, the giant animatronic dragon out front, plus the fact that there's... y'know, two of them. It's two creds, not just one. Oh, and did I mention the greatest coaster theme...

Ha - that was the day my fudge melted. 🤣 But you're right, in that sweltering heat it was just a case of getting it over with so we could get the hell outta there. Not the best way to enjoy a coaster and yeah, probably did deserve a re-ride in hindsight.

I see the TV ad has started to go out. Makes me more confident that she'll be up and running ready for park opening on March 16th.

This is actually quite hard. I love a good GCI me, but as it stands at the moment, my current Top 10% ish doesn't feature a single GCI. As much as I like them, I somehow don't find any of them unique, memorable or special enough to be 'noteworthy'. They're all kinda samey. Raucous, loud, twisty...
