    Thoughts on Hyde Park Winter Wonderland?

    I went to Wintertraum in late November a couple years ago and it was lovely. Short queues for everything and very atmospheric and lovely.

    First visit to Nagashima Spa Land - 2nd December 2024

    Yeah I will also agree the park is visually really nice, nice landscaping, nice views. What was your favourite ride Boba?

    First visit to Nagashima Spa Land - 2nd December 2024

    So I was in Japan mainly for Tokyo Disney and Universal, but ended up swinging by Nagashima Spa Land, Cosmo World and Fuji Q. I'd never been to Nagashima Spa Land before, and was excited mostly about Steel Dragon 2000. Firstly, getting there sucks in my opinion. Give yourself plenty of time if...

    Fuji-Q | Zokkon | Intamin Multi-Launch Motorbike | 2023

    Visited Fuji Q again last week for the first time since 2017. Dodonpa was very depressing to see being cut up, the whole station building is gone, most of the launch has gone and it's mostly the loop and a bit of the turnaround left. Eejainaika is as insane as always, took my breath away every...

    Do-Dodonpa closed

    I visited Fuji Q last week. Last went in 2017 and rode Do-Dodonpa with its new loop back then. I didn't realise but the park basically built Zokkon over the old park entranceway, and they've moved and updated a lot of the park as a whole. They were actively cutting up dodonpa's launch track and...

    Roller Coaster Speciality store in Nagoya, Japan.

    I visited this recently. The guy is a complete legend and collects EVERYTHING rollercoaster related. It's a treasure trove of past and present rides, and he's been everywhere. Lovely chap and would recommend any enthusiasts visiting Nagashima Spa Land to make a stop in Osu, Nagoya and visit...

    Major Expansion Announced for Tokyo DisneySea

    I agree about DisneySea after visiting again this week. But I disagree about universal. Only needed Express for the Nintendo stuff. The rest of the rides often had a 20 - 40 min queue. That's this time of year of course.

    Major Expansion Announced for Tokyo DisneySea

    Thank you so much, I'm visiting tomorrow! I didn't find the app stuff too bad at TDL the other day, the app is really badly designed but once figured out it was okay and managed to get on Beauty and the Beast a couple of times. We have another full day at TDS as well so if I miss anything I...

    Major Expansion Announced for Tokyo DisneySea

    I'm visiting Tokyo Disney Resort later this month, any tips for getting into Fantasy Springs? How do people rank the rides in case I have to choose 1 or 2 to ride?

    Brilliant, 3 days after I leave Japan 😂

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    Thanks for this! Can't wait to be thoroughly disappointed when they announce an opening after I've left 😂

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    It's really frustrating - i'm going in December and their site still says it's opening in 2024. Unprofessional.

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    That's great to see. Only 7 months late!

    Lightwater Valley - Future?

    It's so depressing whats happened to this park. It's in a beautiful location. Has so many nice things going for it. But so many years of bad management and lack of investment has left it a husk of what it once was.

    Unknown | Fantasy Island | Wild Mouse | 2025

    Hi all I searched the forums and couldnt find anything about this. According to the Island Quest Fan Page on Facebook, Fantasy Island has been assembling a portable wild mouse coaster for quite some time. Many parts appear to not fit properly and various bits dont line up at all. In some...

    Disney (WDW & Disneyland) | Tiana's Bayou Adventure | Splash Mountain retheme | 2024

    Yeah I assume they are too scared to upset anyone else by using voodoo. Dr Facilier could have really improved it.

    Disney (WDW & Disneyland) | Tiana's Bayou Adventure | Splash Mountain retheme | 2024

    I've always been a huge splash fan. But I'm really shocked at how this retheme has been done, the story is uncompelling. Tianas lines are really repetitive and lazy. The big drop loses it's buildup that those cultures gave before. Like which imagineers worked on this project because it feels...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    That corporate style video chock full of buzz words made me cringe quite a bit, but I wouldnt expect them to give any details about the problem. Although if it was something like the lift hill you think they could give a vague idea, but I suppose they dont want to give any newspapers ammunition.

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    Not surprised for a ride in Japan themed to generally a childs franchise. Plus I can imagine that type of ride can't be too aggressive due to how far away the seats are to the wheel assemblies. It's like a Steeplechase style ride, the centre of mass is quite far from the wheels which can...
