Who’s ready to read up on some shameless cred whoring of extremely unremarkable kiddy clones in craphole Chinese parks? You are! I had Friday off work last week, so wanted to do something with the long weekend. I also, stupidly, had tickets for the ballet on the Sunday night because I’m classy...

I just came back from my Chinese New Year holiday a few days ago. I decided to do an Australia revisit since it’s been eleven years since I was at the Gold Coast, and there’s a fair bit of new stuff since then. My original plan had been to start the trip in Sydney – again eleven years since I...

Christmas. Ever heard of it? We get a holiday for it over here, so I went over to Malaysia for a bit, starting off with Kuala Lumpur. I’d been to Kuala Lumpur before, back in 2008, but there’s a whole new park (kind of; we’ll get to it later) since then. Technically, I’d been far more recently...

Hundreds of years ago, there was a member here called AJ who I became good friends with. He’s recently moved to Tokyo, which is relatively close (not really), and I had a few days off work between meetings and the kids coming back to school so headed over there. He suggested Yomiuriland since...

I was so excited to share some Chinese crap that I completely forgot about an epic UK park visit in the summer before I headed back to Hong Kong. I took my mum out for the day to Llandudno, not too far from my hometown and an easy enough train ride. I’d booked a show at the theatre there. We...

Here’s a weekend trip I did back in August. I got off work around lunchtime on the Friday which worked well for a direct Hong Kong – Wenzhou flight. I also had the Monday off, so was originally planning to take the full day doing stuff and get a flight back to Shenzhen (loads more flight...

Unless I've missed something, which is entirely possible, I was surprised this hadn't been posted yet. https://aecom.com/theme-index/ Enjoy!

I just got back to Hong Kong a couple of days ago after my long summer holiday. As usual, I headed back to the UK to catch up with friends and increasingly/worryingly old family, but broke that up with a trip elsewhere, wanting to get some new country/park creds in there. This then developed...

There was another long weekend here recently thanks to a public holiday falling on a Monday (we’re getting shafted next year though), so we decided to head to Shanghai, mostly for Disneyland. I’d been before, but it was quite a while ago and there’s new stuff since then. I also decided to hit up...

I needed a Chinese coaster weekend, and getting off work early at this time of year opens up those options. Xuzhou had been on the radar for a while thanks to a new Fantawild park. There are no direct flights from Hong Kong, but the early work finish on Friday meant I had time to get up to...

We had a long weekend here in Hong Kong earlier in June, so I headed across to Vietnam, flying in and out of Da Nang, a fairly major city, but going straight down to Hoi An, a small town about half an hour south. I’d been to Da Nang before, but didn't head to Hoi An on that trip. As luck would...

We felt like a fancy hotel stay this weekend, but Hong Kong prices are stupid, so we came over to Shenzhen. I saw this from the hotel window: I'd been here back in 2007, when the park was still open, but this coaster was closed even then. The park has now closed completely, but we went...

Here comes another long, multi-part report which won’t feature anything particularly interesting in terms of coasters, but it’s from a part of the world that doesn’t show up on here often. My Easter Holiday this year was a few days longer than normal, allowing for a proper long-haul trip...

Since I’ve now finished with that Florida nonsense, I can now get back to what really matters: reporting on cloned coasters in terribly-operated Chinese parks that nobody gives a f**k about! I’d been up to Ningbo before, as part of a longer trip around that area, but they annoyingly opened a...

Apologies in advance for the lack of jungle mouse coasters and Jinma spinners in this report. The last time I went to Florida was nine years ago, at the same time of year. It’s Chinese New Year, so I always get a decent chunk of holiday (usually 10-12 days), but every few years it falls a bit...

The crappy funfair is back in Hong Kong for the first time since covid. It’s here until the end of February, but I went to a show in the circus tent last night, so I had a quick look and grabbed some creds while I was there so that I don’t have to go back. I only had my phone with me, and didn’t...

For the Christmas holiday, we decided to head to a beach resort while squeezing in a few final creds for the year. I’d been meaning to travel to Phu Quoc for a while, an island off the south coasts of Vietnam/Cambodia, and direct Hong Kong flights had recently been reinstated. We went quite...

Chimleong Spaceship, the second gate at Ocean Kingdom, recently opened in Zhuhai, so I popped across for the weekend a few weeks ago, taking in the relatively new Lionsgate Entertainment Complex on the first afternoon, then doing “Spaceship the following day. No Ocean Kingdom this time even...

This’ll be more of a photo dump than much of a report. I’d missed all of the 374 various preview events, but decided to head to the park after work on the official opening day of World of Frozen, which I knew was probably a stupid idea, but it actually wasn’t too bad. I got to the park at...

A couple of weekends ago, I ended up taking a four-day trip to China to get some new parks. Originally, the staff from school were taking a trip to Guangzhou on the Friday and Saturday, and we were given Monday off. I booked a train up to Ganzhou for the Saturday evening, after the work crap...
