I don't know what's more upsetting - having to include Icon or Voltron barely scraping onto the podium.

Pretty much just echoing the other disillusioned former staff member here, as he's hit the nail on the head. Entrance hosts in CBeebies and other 'minor' attractions are generally among the first to be dropped anyway - and the shortage is common at this time of year as the Summer staff return...

That's a terrible name. That's all I have to say...

Very, very short sighted of management - they lose enough staff at this time of year as it is. Even usually optimistic sources have panned ride availability over the last few days. Looks like the season that came in like a lion will leave with its tail between its legs. I'm VERY close to...

As am I, for what it's worth.

Just put it on for 5 minutes and I'm learning how to bring a dragon coaster (not even a go gator, from the looks) back to the station. Death by a thousand cuts.

I've had a very tedious weekend following my football team. Among the highlights was stopping at both Michaelwood services.

If that's true (which to be honest, I don't doubt) it will VERY quickly bite them. It'll kill throughputs stone dead (I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they suggest this to a couple of the Type 1 ops) and job satisfaction will drop still further, which frankly I didn't believe possible...

I've not visited since the Live way back in 2007 (I can only assume they didn't have the silly rule at that time) - and duly noted; when my honorary niece is tall enough to treat me to a day at Gullivers, make sure it's a school day. Always a shame to see a park in a sorry state, but clearly...

I don't particularly like this, because it rewards having a park full of 'slightly above average' rather than somewhere with a couple of amazing coasters and a load of filler, but here it is anyway. King's Island still has better coasters than Cedar Point though. I didn't ride everything at...

Bank holidays are boring, so the spreadsheet's having a bit of work on it. I've realised I can very easily do a Top 10, because (to further my above point) I've only given ten more than 6/10. 1. Helix (obviously) 2. RIde To Happiness 3. Voltron Nevera (an acquired taste, and sadly it'll be a...

They've had their moments this season, to be fair - my post in the other topic was my usual 'back on topic, folks' joke I've wanted to moan about the monorail windows for months and just happened to remember this topic existed. A monorail overhaul would make me very happy, even if I do usually...

I had to call it a day after Flight of Fear earlier in the year: I hadn't done my research and expected something fairly sedate. It happens sometimes - it's also easy to dehydrate etc. during a long park day which can hugely affect your tolerance

Wait until you get to Oxford - definite game changer ;) South Mimms and Lancaster: avoid.

Fair - but only in the same way that Minifigure Speedway is the most thrilling Zierer in the country. I'm a Europa fan, so I love Mack, don't get me wrong - but we haven't yet got one in this country that's worth going out of my way to ride.

Alton Towers. Take the stupid mesh off the monorail windows and give the whole thing a ****ing good clean. AWFUL first impression - and you only get to make ONE first impression

Meow. Meow.

I don't like Merlin. Merlin are bad.

Not ridden Gold Rush yet, though I do plan to get there next month. I suspect Thirteen will still win this on grounds of theming and how much I like it at night.

The media reporting of this has been awful. Looks like it was the car park, but certainly not inside the actual park (which, I agree, unless it was Thorpe would have been alarming) Nevertheless, the security at the Southern parks will get a bit more gung ho for a bit.
