    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    We'll only manage to use two days of the park tickets unfortunately due to flight times etc... Matamba doesn't include dinner but we often head to a local spot for dinner when visiting Phantasialand so being obliged to eat two evening meals plus breakfast in the HCL restaurant may get a bit...

    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    Bit of a topic bump here... my husband and I are considering booking a couple nights at Hotel Charles Lindberg- it's racking up at 739 euros for two nights incl dinner, park tickets etc.. vs 452 euros (excluding park tickets) at Matamba. Is it really worth it!? Thaaaanks!

    Major Rides At Your Local Park You Always Skip?

    When it comes to Alton I would often skip Smiler because the last few rides I had on it were so rough and I get stapled by the end. However I recently visited Towers with my sister who for some weird reason loves the Smiler, so I went on with her and it was actually great and potentially the...

    Theme park soundtracks that get stuck in your head

    Special shout out to the BANGERS at Energylandia. Plus stuff like the Joris en de Draak tune.. that's brutal if you're queueing too long.

    Too tall to ride?

    If it helps my husband is 6ft 5 and he's only been measured a couple of times, Spinball Whizzer (Alton) and Fenix (Toverland). Just stand in a slouchy way when you're being measured, being an inch above the maximum isn't going to lead to injury.

    The Smiler vs Colossus; which of the UK’s inversion record breakers do you prefer?

    If you'd asked me a couple of weeks ago I would have said Colossus all the way, however on my last trip to Towers just a week or so ago, I had a STONKINGLY GOOD ride on The Smiler. Helped by the fact we scored a front row, which I've not managed for years and years but also it wasn't doing its...

    Alton towers 10/08/21 - A dismal birthday

    Ohh this makes me so sad... I went only in July and we had a lovely day (and I'm the first to criticise Merlin), I'm sorry it was such a dud for you :(

    Coaster with the strongest smell?

    The lift hill on Euromir can get pretty ripe in the summer... oh and Odyssey smells like a fish fryer at points (due to its location obv)

    Do you ever regret becoming a theme park enthusiast? Are there cons to this hobby?

    I really don't get the 'shame' about being a coaster enthusiast at all!? I willingly share my passion, and as others have said, if you say things with enough enthusiasm and confidence then they'll not think it's lame. People don't often understand it fully, but I can't tell you how many people...

    I've had both jabs (Pfizer). I'm only 31 but got bumped up as I'm a carer for my mum. Felt a bit crappy the day after but other than that was fine. Bring on travel...!

    Mrs. Nitefly says "OWW!" loudly at Thorpe Park (and more!)

    Smashing report, thoroughly enjoyed that. Totally agree that the place is lacking anywhere to have 'downtime' which is much needed after the head bashing of things like Saw.

    Nitefly fears for his life at Paultons Park (and more!)

    We experienced the exact same thing yesterday...twice!! To me it sounded like the restraint clicking down to a tighter fit...? maybe?

    Thorpe Park and Paultons Park May 2021

    Interesting to read your thoughts on the covid measures at Paultons. We went yesterday and had a lovely day but agree that the covid measures were not great.. no spacing between groups and mask wearing not enforced on rides. No temperature checks either and some of the indoor queue areas (such...
