Today I visited Legoland To experience their brand new duelling coasters, Mini-Figure Speedway. They are an interesting bunch of coasters, fun, enjoyable and have a bit of a kick to them. Certainly one of the park’s stronger recent investments and much higher capacity than what they replaced...

I don’t hate the Studios (soon to be Adventure) park, but must admit it’s lacking much substance compared to its beautiful neighbour and the parks in Orlando. TOT is stunning no doubt, Crush is great (shame they didn’t build 2) and Ratatouille is enjoyable in one of the few immersive areas of...

When you compare the final product of this to somewhere like Storm Chaser in Paultons Park or even some of the Plopsa developments, it definitely looks like more could have been and added to make the area look more photogenic. Even just some minor shrubbery, landscaping and basic structures...

The park are really taking a battering at the moment.

Sounds like another potential over the top Legoland rule. Who as a Park seem the most over the top with H&S in all the places I’ve visited. I remember years ago visiting and going on Pirate Falls alone several times, without any problems. Only reasons I can think they’d introduce such a rule is...

Hi all, Going back to the park early summer, however due to other plans, I’ll have to meet the rest of my group out there. Firstly, how good/reliable are the train routes on Sundays? Planning to go from Basel (either SBB or BBF) to Ringshwin, then EP bus. Secondly, just wondering if there...

the new dark ride looks ok, nothing amazing but far from the worst. It does feel very Merlinesque without a doubt. The cadabra ride was far from amazing. It was dated and very niche, but had a strange charm about it when I visited. One can hope they utilise the old space for something like a...

Well, for the moment Minifigure Speedway is at a standstill.

The park is in such a strange state of affairs. Most of the park cosmetically looks better, but the park seems to have even more reliability issues than Thorpe and Towers nowadays. Rides running on lower capacities and at least half the rides either on their last legs (without major...

The last time I went to the Vampire Burger Kitchen was sometime around 2021. I recall the burger tasting absolutely awful and being amongst my worst meals at a theme park. Alongside my meal at Plopsa’s now defunct Pirate Grill and several places at Port Aventura. Can only imagine it somebow...

Don’t get me wrong, some of these decisions in the sparkle project could have been done better & differently. As someone who considers Thorpe their local park, the amount of changes and updates in what should be a big year for the park is certainly a welcome one. Whether it be the partial...

Such sad and devastating news. I imagined this would be the case but hoped otherwise. Absolutely devastating for his family, friends and colleagues.

I had a BTS of this place last April and stayed in the nearby Grand Curiosa, which was lovely. This is honestly such devastating news not only for the park but for the whole industry, especially since nothing within the water park complex looks salvageable. Fingers crossed no-one is injured...

Same old closed season at Chessington it seems, modest updates, tomb blaster work and a noticeable number of attractions not ready in time for opening, despite 4-5 months of close season to sort this. Even if 24 will be a quieter year for the park, it is still so poor that they can’t organise a...

Very intrigued and excited for the new developments at Cadbury World. I visited the place in 2018 and though enjoyable, must admit it did look a little dated in places. I never realised they had more factory tour/ behind the scenes things there which were apparently removed years ago. The new...

This is certainly the news we’ve been waiting and hoping for. Geisterschloss has been crying out for a major refurbishment for years, to remove the tacky shoehorned Easter eggs and fire proof this ageing attraction. I’m not expecting an immaculate refresh, but something that can make it more...

The choice of colours for the castle is a strange one and something that looks like it’s from Chessington in the mid noughties. Guessing truckers is going nowhere anytime soon, judging by the new car shell investment.

Fingers crossed this goes through as Chessington has one of the worst car parks for any notable theme park attraction out there. In my previous visit, a mate and I just decided to park 20 minutes away from the park and walk instead of risking the water logged fields or thieving express parking.

this is a strange and perhaps concerning development on this one. Atlantis had a substantial refurbishment for the 2020 season, which involved partial rebuilt and work to the exterior of the building. The thing I would like to know is what has happened and why is the ride needing more...

As nice these little touchups and refreshes are, I can’t help but notice just how dirty and neglected the walls and structure elements look around the area. Whilst it is supposed to be a dark and mysterious area, the lack of attention there screams neglect. Regrettably never got to experience...
