    United Arab Emirates

    I've just realised that even though this was the main park day, I have hardly any photos. To be fair, you can't really take cameras into the waterpark, and most of the rides at Ferrari World are enclosed anyway. The drive was about an hour and twenty (rush hour spite). We did Yas first because...

    United Arab Emirates

    I can see what you mean, but like Owen said, I think it's just because tourists (us included) see the main sites and that's it. Also, when you think about what was there 20 years ago, it's pretty amazing. It's such a young country and a very unique place. Granted, if you have money there is a...

    United Arab Emirates

    Me and Ben only got home yesterday but I always try and do trip reports while it's still fresh in my mind... We had a week in the UAE, flying into and out of Dubai, but we were only an hour from Abu Dhabi so just did the creds there as a day trip. We landed at about midnight on the saturday...

    The Smiler - your thoughts?

    A bit late to the party, but I finally got to the park and got on it today. I really, really like the atmosphere and look of the ride (except for the station, which is awful), but it rides like crap. I only banged my head a couple of times, but it was so rattly, repetitive and just made me feel...

    Do you count kiddie coasters in your coaster count?

    No. I think those who do are pretty pathetic to be honest.

    Trip Plans For 2014

    Nothing booked yet, but Denmark in the summer is quite likely (not everything, but Tivoli, Bakken and BonBon maybe...). I'd also like to get to Romania (they opened a new park this year with 3 creds in Bucharest). There will be long haul trip also, but I'm not really sure yet. Could be...

    5yr old nearly killed at park!

    POOR ELLIE-MAY. The mum is VILE, she blates just wants compo to go and spend at Greggs. The comments in the article are amazing <3. It reminds me of the fab killer dolphin at SeaWorld incident <3.

    Flamingo Land | "Hero" | Zamperla Volare

    ^ When did you go to Genting? It gave me a good beating in 2010. Canada's is a lot worse though, I'll give you that... I actually think this one (FL) looks quite nice, for a Volare. It's going to be gross, but it's probably a good move for them anyway.

    Genting SkyWorlds | Malaysia | Theme Park

    Re: Genting Highland to close for 2 year refurb? Doesn't surprise me. It seemed really run down when I was there in 2010, and they have removed loads of stuff since then. The indoor bit is fab though, so I can see why they're not doing anything to that!

    Fake Tan/Sunbeds

    ^ Yeah, pretty much. I like getting a tan from the sun if it happens to be nice and I happen to be outside, but I'd never go out of my way. I think fake tan looks horrendous, such a turn off when guys are orange <///3.

    Woman Falls From The Texas Giant To Her Death

    Yeah... As far as I know, the only people who have been spited on B&Ms have had casual heart attacks, or climbed over a fence they shouldn't have and been kicked in the head (or mowed down). It's happened to staff members too. Nothing to do with the actual coasters / B&M though. I could be...

    What is the steepest log flume?

    I think it's because we all went when we were kids and feel nostalgic about the dump :).

    How often do you get drunk?

    I don't tend to drink in the week (now I'm working), but I'm a proper binge drinker and get absolutely steaming most weekends. My hangovers have got really bad in the last couple of years though (to the point where I can't even stand up without feeling vile), so I just lie in bed with the...
