I never mentioned it (a hasty edit may be in order) but this trip was during Energylandia's Halloween event. Unlike what we're used to here all the mazes are free. Most of them were situated within a dedicated 'scare zone' in the main thoroughfare of the Zadra area (you can go around the back...- Martin

Intro Last October I had a weekend at the Merlin south parks, and although I had a great time, I also spent a lot of it in pain, somehow finding almost everything uncomfortable and leaving me half wondering if now I'm the other side of 30 this hobby isn't for me any more. Fortunately for my...- Martin

Should front row seats be a premium add on
Maybe they can do the Ryanair option of saving money and getting a random seat and being split up for no reason, but if you ask nice they'll let you rearrange yourselves once you're through to the seats- Martin

Watched anything good lately?
The reaction to Adolescence now unfortunately has gotten very weird. Showing it in schools? Why? Kids know about this stuff, they're the ones living in it. There's literally a scene where a kid explains to the police officer what everything the kids are talking about online means. The show...- Martin

Live music, gigs, and concerts discussion.
Yeah not a fan of Victoria Warehouse at all, haven't been back since RTJ toured 3 pre covid. Just got tickets for Clipping. at Project House in Leeds in September. That's a great venue. They only played there last April, their only UK gig, so they must have liked it too.- Martin

Live music, gigs, and concerts discussion.
Saw Geordie Greep again last night at New Century Hall in Manchester. Somehow never been the venue before but it's absolutely stunning. Great gig too, played for over two hours non stop with lots of extended improv jam sessions between songs. He also ate a paper airplane that landed on stage...- Martin

The Smiler: time to turn the music off
I definitely think the appeal is how over the top obnoxious it is. Something something TikTok generation something something old man yells at cloud. I think on some level it also just shows their own lack of confidence in the ride, almost as if they don't want you to be able to hear yourself...- Martin

Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins
The thing is it's not even "becoming trendy" it has been for a really long time, Merlin are just incredibly slow to notice trends, like how they're always late with their midway gimmicks and how they only started doing "streetfood" at all like a year or two ago- Martin
