    Best smartphones for theme park photography/videography

    Video is really good, low light not so much tbh.

    Best smartphones for theme park photography/videography

    Most flagship smartphones have incredible cameras now, but the quality of the zoom makes a big difference. I've got a Pixel 7 Pro which is very good. Had theme park photography in mind when I bought it and it's done the job.

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    I get why they're there, but the windshields could completely kill the sense of speed on this. I'd imagine Formula Rossa with the exposed seating will feel significantly faster for example. Hope to give it a go some day and it will be an incredible overall ride experience, but not sure if it...

    Vekoma SLC's - Europe Only

    I like the layouts and quite enjoy the ones with vest restraints. Even if they're a bit rattly. Won't go anywhere near those with the old restraints.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Yeah Hyperia is wild with the new wheels. Thigh-walloping ejector airtime 😍 They're able to send test runs on empty trains now, so it's quite significantly faster.

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    Whilst this announcement appears to have gone down like a fart in church; it has certainly got people talking. Nothing much more to add really but to emphasise the OTSR disappointment. I remember when Icon was being built and there was discussion about how the general public would perceive the...

    Parc Astérix | Cétautomatix | Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster | 2025

    Was there last week while it was testing. One run in particular there was a comical amount of spinning as it went into the brake run. Like Tornado at Bakken boost mode levels of spin.

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    On the flip side, it may be better to try and ride it in the opening week in case we have another Top Thrill 2 situation. The cred anxiety is strong with this. All that new technology getting fried all day in 50° heat 😬

    Alton Towers CF Live - Sunday 11 May 2025

    Can't believe how quickly the day went! Had a lot of fun despite being so tired, thanks for organising @Serena

    Busy few days but can now confirm I will be attending :)

    CF Lives 2025

    This would be perfect. I'm definitely up for Linannmaki. Still haven't been on Taiga. Towers sounds good too:)

    "Maya the Bee My Valentine" - Plopsaland Live - 15th February 2025

    Really wanted to attend this but I'm off skiing next week and funds will be a bit tight for the rest of the month unfortunately. Hope you all have a great time at the land of plop 😍

    Last Cred Review

    That first element is a huge highlight for me. It gives a really unique 'kick' just as the launch cuts out. Like an upside down pop of air time.

    The Simpsons attractions coming to Disney parks?

    Tooth Chipper surely...

    Thoughts on Hyde Park Winter Wonderland?

    Yes I've been many times, it's the best time of the year to visit IMO. Couldn't recommend it highly enough 😍 One thing I would say is try to avoid the busy days as Phantasialand is so compact and it gets uncomfortably crowded.

    Thoughts on Hyde Park Winter Wonderland?

    £8-£10 for some of the most basic coasters in Europe is absolutely bonkers. As is £11 for Olympia Looping. Haven't been there since paid entry became a thing but used to always go and spend a few hours eating/drinking in the Bavarian village. When weighing it all up I can get flights and...

    Rank the Intamin Launch Coasters

    Just gonna do the LSM/Hydraulic ones... 1. Batman Gotham City Escape - Perfection. Whippy layout with incredible airtime. As well as decent themeing and Batmobile trains. 2. Toutatis - Pure power. Really close to being my favourite because of the madness of the swing launch. The top hat is...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    100% a back row ride for me, purely for the whip over the first drop. I think the Kremer Roll rides better at the front though.

    Most rides you've ever had on one attraction in a day?

    Nemesis Inferno had a single rider queue at the ride exit back in the mid 00's and not many people seemed to use it. Can't remember specifics but could get 30+ rides on it quite easily. Nemesis at Towers had the same but think that was maybe just for a season or two? Remember getting on every...
