    2 injured in Cedar Point Skyhawk Incident

    Just out of interest, does anyone know if the other Screamin Swings have been closed down in the meantime?

    Complete Coaster Sets

    Errr... Eejanaika anyone? Not to mention Dinoconda?! OK, so, I see where you're going in that they were built by S&S, but, come on, you can't count one without the others. I think I've only got one, and that's tenuous: Vekoma Mine Train Custom MK-900 M - 4 (France, Germany, Italy x2) I'm only...

    TripAdvisor

    Yeah, I always have a look on there when booking hotels, but usually disregard most of the reviews as being written by complete morons. I do write reviews occasionally. I tend to make more of an effort to write them for small, independent, businesses who really rely on it for business. I also...

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Sunday We went to the airport. Jake went for a poo in their toilet. This happened - Jake reappeared. I squealed a lot. We got on a plane and flew home. The end. Thanks for reading <3

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Saturday night We piled on a bus and soon arrived at Eurovision Island. It quickly became apparent that we were somewhat under dressed *mumbles* Merlin *mumbles* Keeping with the industrial setting, the tables and stools outside the bars were literally held together with cable ties. My Dad...

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Saturday Morning After getting up at the crack of dawn, spending hours sat on trains and walking through a field, we eventually arrived at this place I'd heard bad things about this place, even though I'd always looked forward to visiting. I just put this down to a difference in senses of...

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Friday We decided to forgo the Eurovision crazyness for a day and indulge in some culture. Just round the corner from our apartment was this massive church with a fab tower. We climbed to the top And took more terrible selfies And saw our apartment Only, it turns out we didn. We saw a...

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    I believe it was closed the whole time we were there. There was some sign outside that suggested it may have opened in the afternoon after we left.

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Thursday We got to Bakken for opening at 2pm. Yes. 2. PM. It's a really weird park. The surroundings are all lovely and leafy, but the rides are (mostly) all old and dumpy. First cred was the Ladybird Tivoli. It was rather pretty for such a generic cred. The ride op was fab, if a little...

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Wednesday We started the day with a trip to the Carlsberg museum. It was alright, very museumy. We didn't hang about too long because we wanted to get back into town to see more Eurovision acts grace the big stage. First up was Iceland. OMG, I love them <3 Then Sweden came on. She was...

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Tuesday We went to Tivoli Gardens It's very pretty Oh, I do love a good patterned theme park floor <3 We went on their woodie, which is FAB! It has so much airtime, that I flew up in the air, stuck my hand out to grab the seat in front, and actually ended up smacking the child in front...

    Denmark (well, half of it) and Eurovision

    Just so mine isn't a complete carbon copy of Jake's, I'm going chronological. We arrived in Copez and were quickly reminded of our main reason for being there. We got the metro to our fab apartment. We grabbed some lunch from a nearby supermarket, and got ready for a week of Eurovision...

    Efteling | Baron 1898 | B&M Dive Coaster

    Re: Efteling to get B&M Dive Coaster for 2015! To all those saying "at least it'll be well themed"... will it though? Obviously I sincerely hope so, but something at the back of my mind it a bit concerned. This will be the first investment made under new CEO Fons Jurgens. The ride choice in...

    (tr)Action Park is back, opening this summer

    Wow! I've read so much about TrAction Park, particularly Canonball Loop, but I've never seen any actual footage. Puts pay to all those internet rumours that it "killed" a test dummy so never actually opened :roll: Thanks for posting, Lord M :D

    Pork Pie Land - Saturday 8th March

    We arrived at the park and were greeted by an exciting sight... a sign explaining that they have planted over 1 million bulbs around the park! Oh, and a super hero horse, of course. Overall, it's a fairly promising start Once in the park, they were very keen to remind you about the 1...

    Madrid, PWM & PAM, 5-6 April 2014

    After waking up to apocalyptic fog, Sue failing to work the shower, confusing the staff of McDonalds at the cred mall and somehow driving past the entrance to the park, we eventually arrived! By the time we got there the sun had also arrived! Hurrah! El Peep was waiting to get started! We...

    Madrid, PWM & PAM, 5-6 April 2014

    After Conor's passport faff, we went to get the car. After much car faff, we were on our way to the park. After much sat nav faff, we arrived at the park. After much ticket faff, we EVENTUALLY got in the park! The park feels like a really weird combination of Universal and Six Flags. Some...

    Injury on X-2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain

    Wow, if X2 really caused someone such a serious injury, I'd hate to think what would happen to them if they rode Eejanaika instead. Seriously though, have you tried looking for Eejanaika accidents? I'm not sure if they would be any use to you or not? I would kinda hope not because, although...
