New... thing being built at the Mirabilandia in Italy. No clue what this is. Posted in a discord server without any real context. Around here-ish at the iSpeed entrance.

The report is being made public today. Full report:

Combination of both, I think, of the rides just not being that good (whether they had a consistently unpleasant rattle throughout the whole thing or their audio was off) and the school trips. The way I think is if the school trips weren't there, I would have still not enjoyed many of the rides...

Generally from my experience late June to mid July will be a pretty busy time to go no matter what due to school trips. I remember going around that time shortly after my employability college course ended and the place was heaving, but to be fair it was 2019 which was five years ago but I doubt...

I haven't fully decided yet, and will comment more on the matter after work today, but I hate how this feels like a "vote for the party you hate the least" thing instead of a "vote for the party you like the most" thing. I'll dive deeper later, but short version I'd like the party who a)...

That's the one good thing these days bring! Day 5: Toverland If school trips were in on Thursday, and today's Friday, then that spells one thing: more school trips. We were done with the rain now, but not the faff. Never the faff. Checked out of the hotel, and Mr. Nice man who checked me in...

The one I really wanted to ride was Nautilus, the swinging afterburner thing. This type of ride has escaped me four times now which isn't very good as they do look fantastic. My top spin rankings go: Talocan > Rameses Revenge > Top Spin (Hart) > Blast >>>>>> BuzzSaw > Waterspin. The first four...

Kentucky Kingdom is looking to add a 129ft tower ride for the 2025 season.

Day 4: Den Haag From the least time-sensitive day to the most, I was doing two parks in one day today and was anticipated for the whole week as "the big one" as it involved trains, buses, trams and Bolts. Capri suns in hand, ready to go straight into the first issue of the day where I had to...

While my trip writing isn't done yet, there will be no new entries. Yes. Neither Troy nor Fenix made the cut, see my justifications for doing so whenever that part comes out. #1 Taron - Phantasialand #2 Ride to Happiness - Plopsaland De Panne #3 Untamed - Walibi Holland (-1) #4 Storm - The...

They also could have gone for "Ireland's only coaster that goes upside down" but everything has to be complicated doesn't it.

Day 3: Walibi Holland This was the least time sensitive day of the trip as I've been here before - it was a pure "going back to a park because I want to" day. Also, any other park was at least three hours away. However, circumstances pushed the first ten letters of this paragraph to their...

27th and 28th May, so we were there at the same time on Tuesday! Thank you, hopefully I get back to Fata Morgana soon and am able to enjoy it a little more.

Day 2: Efteling 2 Instead of going to Den Bosch I instead tried a different route to Tilburg instead, and I have to say this is the much better route to take as it's far quicker than the other way. I met the house of the five senses again with good yet slightly confusing friend Pardoes and...

Day 1 - Efteling 1 So cutting to the chase I'm not happy with how my Belgium report came out in the slightest. I went into those parks with too much of a "how does this ride compare to the other stuff I've done?" instead of a "let's enjoy and have fun on the theme park attraction!" mindset. I...

I've just come home from five pretty cool days in the Netherlands. As the "day 0" was literally just landing in Eindhoven, having dinner and going to bed, there really isn't much to say about this day so I'm instead going to use this initial post as a "landing zone" with quick links to each day...

Yes, forgot that - referring to the off-the-shelf layouts here. I quite liked Odyssey and Kumali's layouts, much more than the standard models.

It's a pretty common enthusiast take that Vekoma SLCs have good layouts but just ride badly. And I'm here to go against that by saying the layout isn't really that good either. The layout admittedly goes pretty hard for the first half but practically ends at the sidewinder - the rest after that...
