Hi All Not posted a trip report before but thought I'd have a go following my recent trip to New York week commencing 8 June 2015. We got a cracking deal of £400 return flights to JFK from Manchester with great accommodation in Brooklyn. I'll mainly concentrate on the parks we did and sadly...

Well - once again there are plans to redevelop the old Morecambe Frontierland site, and if I remember rightly the Polo Tower can now be torn down too as the contract for the mobile mast only lasted until 2013. How many times have we heard this over the last 13 years? Shame the park ever had to...

Hi all, not sure if this is in the right topic or not (feel free to move if not), but a 230ft Starflyer is currently being constructed in Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester. Apparently it will be staying for 3 months. Not mega news but apparently the UK's tallest portable ride...

Not sure if you already know but the Big Dipper at Blackpool crashed this evening about 7.45pm. Not sure of the exact details but it looks like the block brakes haven't worked properly and two trains collided. Check: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... per_crash_ Don't know if...

Hi all sorry if this has been mentioned before, but it's pretty scandalous charging £5 to park the car when it's £36 full whack to get in at Alton now? See.... http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/ne ... ticle.html I know you can get cheap deals to get in online etc... but how many people...
