    Camping; what are your thoughts?

    Yeah....I've not stayed at that one. I have visited the park though and did quite like it. I even quite liked the ride on Hero....

    Camping; what are your thoughts?

    It's a long time since I had a camping holiday in a tent. But one year Eurocamping in France in a tent was pretty good as the weather was really nice. To be honest I prefer static caravans now as you get your own shower and toilet. I've stayed in a static caravan at the Davy Crocket Ranch at...

    [2024] Thorpe Park: Hyperia - Mack Hypercoaster

    Seriously though, that would be great. This country needs a B&M Hyper, and an RMC too.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: 2023 Discussion

    Just out of curiosity I've got a couple of questions about the Big One and am hoping some of you will know the answer. I was there two or three weeks ago on a really nice day weather wise. But all day the Big One was running, they were only loading approximately the first two thirds of the...

    Theme Park Documentaries

    I've recently discovered a YouTube channel called 'AdventureMe' which is run by a guy called Darren. I'm not comfortable posting links, but there's a three part series called 'The Hidden Secrets of Blackpool Pleasure Beach' which I found really interesting, so I thought I would mention it here...

    “Size isn’t everything”… or is it?

    This is slightly off topic, but for anyone who still plays Wordle, today’s answer reminded me of this thread title….

    The Monarchy

    I do have some respect for the Queen. But as for the rest? I don't see the point.

    Theme Park Worldwide

    I've also been watching quite a few of the TPW vlogs over the last year or so, and also some of the Adventure Shawn vlogs. Of course they vary, but generally speaking I do find them informative and entertaining and sometimes quite funny. In the recent vlog from PortAventura I thought Charlotte...

    The Brexit Thread

    The next General Election should be in approximately two years time. Hopefully this government will get the kicking it deserves.

    Lightwater Valley

    I watched the TPW vlog about Lightwater Valley which was posted a couple of days ago, and I thought, all things considered, the park looked in pretty good shape. If I was in the area I would definitely visit, but because it's over a three hour journey I wouldn't make a special journey at the...

    What is your favourite traditionally constructed (non-RMC or Intamin prefab) wooden roller coaster?

    Without a doubt my favourite wooden coaster that I've ridden would have to be Wodan. It's been great every time. I also really like Wicker Man and for me it's got better since it was new. I was at Towers on a glorious sunny day about a month ago and for the first time ever I got to ride on...

    Phantasialand: The irregularities and irritations of one of Europe's best parks

    It is a weird payment system, I agree. We've only been once and that was 5 years ago. I remember making the booking online and then paying by bank transfer. We also emailed them to make sure they had got the payment and had matched it to our booking. Got a very nice email back from them...

    Coronavirus

    Actually, the next general election is coming sooner than we might think. I believe under the fixed term parliament act the next one is currently scheduled for 2 May 2024 which is not much more than two years away.
