Never a dull day at Chezvegas 😂

As a born-and-bred Cornishman, I have never heard the word teacake refer to a bread roll in my life.

Condor, for whatever reason, has been being used for a trial of a completely separate Reserve and Ride system that’s free to use, although I’m not sure if it’s still active this season. If the Reserve and Ride system is still active then I’d obviously try that, but if not you can pick up one...

If you’re at an affiliated hotel for 1 night, you get a single day ticket that you can use on either day to get in to both parks (on the same day). If you’re staying on site, your room key will get you in to the park on both days (although admission to Ferrari Land is only on one of those...

If anyone is planning a trip to Drayton on a weekday (Mon, Thu, Fri) before the 24th May, Wowcher have got a deal on for 2 tickets for £30.49 after booking fees: https://www.wowcher.co.uk/deal/birmingham/activities-entertainment/adventure-theme-parks-zoos/e/drayton-manor-theme-park-tickets...

The daily is, at present, a 2015 Skoda Octavia Laurin and Klement (2.0l diesel DSG). It’s a pretty decent runner overall; relatively good on fuel and maintenance isn’t horrendous on it, although as with many cars with stop-start it does have a bit of a habit of chewing through batteries. I’ve...

If it was Lambrusco from Accrington I’d be interested. Chardonnay ain’t worth it.

That’s a bit odd, opening weekend they were letting people in to the air gates as soon as the trains had passed through the station after the first lift (meaning no discernible impact on capacity). Could that be because it was an off peak day?

Slight reshuffle after the last few months. 1. Expedition GeForce 2. Shambhala 3. Gotham City Escape 4. Toutatis 5. Hyperion 6. F.L.Y. 7. Zadra 8. Taron 9. Wodan 10. Nemesis Surprising nobody, a couple more Intamin airtime machines entered the top spots. F.L.Y. being as good as it was turned...

If/when East West Rail happens, I reckon more off peak WCML trains will just call at Bletchley - I don’t think a bus from MKC would be necessary in that case. The East West Rail improvements work to the Bedford-Bletchley line will also improve speeds and reduce stops (as well as add services...

Trick with the parking at Plopsa is to park in the station P+R car park next door and either get the tram 1 stop or just walk the 200m or so to the entrance. The coast tram is also a pretty fun attraction in its own right.

In terms of food at Steinwasen, it was a bit so-so to be honest. We went for the currywurst from the cafe thing and it was more like tomatowurst, although plenty edible. The Hassenhorn operates in most weather, but if it is very bad rain (like the morning we went) they restrict it to single...

Plus a new cred! Brazilian Buggies opened last week too 😂

Plopsaland is also a bit of a one-ride park as well - outside of RTH (which is admittedly great) there’s not a lot else there beyond an OK Gerst Euro-Fighter and a pretty poor GCI woodie. RTH is also infuriating as they can and do operate it on 1 train even on peak days for “cost-saving...

I reached 210 yesterday, with #210 being the blue (Team Legends) side of Minifigure Speedway. #200 was also Hals-über-Kopf the day after @NuttySquirrel reached 100 on the same ride 😂. I was originally intending it to be either Expedition GeForce or Alpina Bahn, but the opportunity to get a...

Even they’ve had Lightning Rod and its multitude of issues; plus the fact topper track didn’t perform as they expected resulting in massive chunks of their woodies being converted to I-Box.

One or two good installations doesn’t make them a good manufacturer. I adore Intamin to bits for instance, but some of the stuff they build really make you question what on earth those Lietchensteinian madmen are doing. I’m no Mack fanboy, but as far as manufacturers go I don’t think there’s...

Capacity on Minifig is also very good (far better than I - and probably LLW themselves - were expecting actually). An advertised 80 minute queue yesterday from half way up the temporary queue line from Duplo ended up being half that in reality, and it was moving pretty constantly even with RAP...

Paging @Burbs Would it be possible to get Schwaben Park, Funny-World and Sommerrodelbahn Gutach added? Dankeschön :)

I'm surprised it took this long to report on - apparently it happened on the 27th March. Super stars are some of my favourite flats too… 😢 Very horrid incident. Hope the people involved are able to make a full recovery.
