    Legoland VIP Visit 18/04

    I think officially you don't get to choose but if you ask nicely and don't mind waiting for the next train they'll most likely oblige. Possibly more so after queue close as well - a few of us were able to get backwards facing seats at the end of the day on Mandrill Mayhem yesterday at...

    Paultons Park: General Discussion

    I think you underestimate the stamina of some of our members! 😂

    Paultons Park: General Discussion

    Would be keen to go but unfortunately have another commitment that weekend. Sounds like a great event though, looking forward to hearing all about it!

    Optimised solo visit

    I think you probably need to start your day in Dark Forest, queues for Rita and Thirteen this season have been miserably bad. Which one you do first will probably depend on which opens first, but if you have a choice I'd jump on Rita before the queue ramps up as chances are it won't come down...

    Alton Towers or Europa Park; which of TowersStreet’s focus parks has the stronger coaster selection?

    You can't really include AlpenExpress in that list either as no one has ridden it in its current state yet. Agree that it's better to wait until the new attractions are fully open.

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    I find that name choice rather confusing as Disneyland Park already has Adventureland as an area - and none of the attractions at Studios really say 'adventure' to me. I guess they're trying to shed its reputation as the world's most terrible Disney park, but it will need more than a name change...

    Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

    This is the sort of argument one tends to hear from non-park goers! If you truly don't get the point of queuing for a long amount of time for a short-term experience maybe you should find another interest?

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2024 Discussion

    "I rode the Big One". Seriously WTF is this company doing?

    Serious questions and musings

    Good luck! Yes it would be important to gather as much evidence as possible about the intent of the company, and an induction day would be a strong indication of a firm offer. Employment tribunals do often decide in favour of the wronged employee, the difficulty is you are effectively severing...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2024 Discussion

    Frankly, having it on the back is even more suggestive.

    Serious questions and musings

    Sorry to hear this, what a shitty situation. My OH and I have both spent considerable amounts of time out of work due to companies generally being shitty and not delivering on promises. He was offered a position just as you describe with no fixed start date and was strung along for weeks before...

    Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

    Yes please! I was too chicken to ride the original on my last visit in 1998 so if they could put it back to how it was then that would be just great.

    Chessington World of Adventures Resort

    Dogs are fairly common at some of the German parks I've been to (I know Europa Park and Tripsdrill specifically allow them) so it doesn't seem that odd to me anymore. There is even a dog swap queueing process akin to child swap. Obviously dogs are not permitted on most attractions. As for guide...

    Ride Access Pass and Disabled Access - 2024 Discussion

    Arguably it isn't. I think one of the main reasons neurodivergent kids struggle to queue at UK parks is being surrounded by strangers in stagnant, depressing, unthemed cattle pen queuelines with nothing to distract them. Compare that experience with the fast-moving, heavily themed and...

    Funny things you've overheard people say in queuelines

    This was actually a genuine concept designed by a Lithuanian professor - purely as a thought experiment mind, I don't think there was ever any intention that such a thing would be built. It essentially involves pushing the rider into tighter and tighter loops exerting sustained high G-forces...

    Europa Park May/June 24

    Given your itinerary I'd be inclined to suggest something a little closer to Europa-Park than the Eurotunnel - Plopsa and Parc Asterix would be viable options for the Sunday - with Saturday becoming your driving day - but given your Eurotunnel crossing is booked for 18.30 that would probably...

    What's your current coaster count?

    Hi there milestone buddy! Hope you got better weather than I did anyway! (Actually worse would be hard!)

    What's your current coaster count?

    102 now, with my 100th being also at Tripsdrill though this time a front-row ride on Hals-uber-Kopf. Not the coaster I was originally eyeing up as my hundredth (damn you Voltron!) but is at least a unique coaster being the first and only Vekoma STC - at least until Emerald Park open their new...

    Heidi/Hansa vs Parque Attractiones/WB Madrid?

    For the August bank holiday I would personally avoid Madrid as the heat in summer can be intolerable - 40°C during the day is not unusual and the queue lines at both parks are not great for shade so you will be standing in the baking heat for long periods of time. It depends on your individual...
