^ I felt like I was far too brief in my Stealth and Nemesis Inferno reviews, so I've just made a quick edit to expand quite a lot on what I thought of them. I'll just say not your usual review.

A car has crashed into a Taron support beam. The ride is closed, but no further information. EDIT: I am hearing the ride has reopened

Part 49: Thorpe Park It's 2024 and we continue, and I understand your tremendous disappointment and fury as the UK's biggest thing in thirty years isn't involved in the milestone that is part five-zero in my endless homeland series. A short break due to me going international more often than...

If it is a small-scale family friendly ride, why are they starting construction so early into the year? Surely a ride of such small scale wouldn't take 9 months to build (assuming they want it open somewhere around March), or am I missing something?

A good friend of mine who loves roller coasters and Thorpe Park has been completely put off riding it at all, after multiple explanations of the issues from me he's decided that he doesn't want to ride it for at least the rest of the year as he thinks it's unsafe. I explained how the ride's...

I know as little about the technical details as the next guy, but I think I might shift some blame over to Thorpe themselves as well. The fact that they announced an opening date *before trains even arrived* didn't sit right with me, and the whole testing process felt incredibly rushed. It...

Immersion is where a theme park builds a ride's world to make you forget that you're at a park. Theme parks, especially Merlin, have hugely tried to immerse its riders into multiple worlds - but while the rides often have impressive theming, they almost always fail to make the rider ask...

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.
