    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    Is this not just one giant big money laundering scheme?

    CF-Lives 2020 | All Dates Announced!

    May look at the Flamingo Land one - I do love that place. Definitely on for the Liseberg one.

    Best and Worst Airports

    Adding a few for future reference. Prague was decent enough, bit of a pain to get to the City Center but it was clean and easy to navigate. Burgos in Bulgaria was tiny, run down and I'm glad I didn't have to spend more time than I needed to. Budapest I can literally remember nothing about...

    Least favorite coaster you have ridden?

    I'm well aware I'm in an absolute minority here but I ****ing hated it, nothing about it I found enjoyable.

    Coaster Red Force | Trip Reports

    Looks amazing, **** I love PA. Also, sucks to see someone taken off the social media team. Cliques still going strong I see.

    Magnus Colossos or Wild Mouse at Blackpool

    Winter Efteling

    Wasn't gonna bother with a trip report as we didn't take THAT many photos and most people know what to expect from the park but in the end I wanted somewhere to jot my thoughts down. Pretty easy to get to, so much so that I'm surprised I hadn't done it sooner. Fly into Schipol, take the train...

    Top 10(ish): 2024 Edition - page 124

    Since this post last year I think I've done PA again, Ferrari Land, Blackpool, Thorpe and Efteling. As such, there's been a slight re-jigging and one new addition. 1. Balder 2. Helix 3. Shambhala 4. Taron 5. Joris (Water) 6. Wickerman 7. Nemesis 8. Blue Fire 9. Silver Star 10. Black Mamba...

    Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach to be refurbished for 2023

    If you read between the lines of her tweet though, they won't be adding anything or making sure everything works. Sustainability is another word for removing things that are costing them money to run/repair. Expect it to run as a shell of the former ride for a few seasons before they then use...

    Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach to be refurbished for 2023

    Just whack the building down and remove the boats and you've got one big giant fountain ready for next year.

    Calirado: Summary & Final Score.

    Really good report - had to post as soon as I saw the eejit trying to fob you off with "WE DON'T HAVE A CHALLENGER" because it made me rage.

    Quimera accident at La Feria Chapultepec Magico

    Just ****ing horrible to see, stumbled across the more graphic images on Facebook and it's just not something you ever link in your mind to a trip to a theme park. It does suggest a lack-of-maintenance issue.

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Not sure of the answer but I've got at least 5 things to say in response to it. Number 4 will SHOCK you!

    Liseberg | Helix | Mack Megacoaster

    It gets AWFULLY close to the back of the train just before the second launch

    Bit of a stupid thing to say, no? Like, if it's one of the best rides he's ever ridden of course it's going to be a 10/10 for him

    Last Cred Review

    Icon: It's alright. Like, I've not been remotely hyped about it even though Helix is one of my favourite rides and I loved Blue Fire - I just felt Icon looked slow, didn't really do much and was just a bit of a meandering afterthought that would look better than it rode. I was sort of right...

    Your top transportation rides

    Honestly my examples for this are garbage compared to the above but figured I'd give an opinion anyway as I do like some of the UK's options. The Alton monorail for example, offers a great experience for first time visitors, taking you over Air and Nemesis' valley (particularly if they're...

    Solo Sweden (May 2019)

    Ah that's rotten luck, honestly I reckon if I couldn't get on Helix then Liseberg would be just another park for me, it's just that good a ride.

    IOA | Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure | Intamin LSM Launch (Dragon Challenge replacement)

    Probably some logistical tinkering going on -if it's as popular as it sounds, everyone heading to it first thing, people aren't shopping and spending money elsewhere around the park and their immediate impression of the park is one long queue. This at least gives them a reason to force people...

    Aarhus In The Middle of Our Street - Denmark 2019!

    I've half been tempted by Denmark again purely because if frequently comes up with £5 flights to Our House. Looks for a cred run at least.
