Finally visited yesterday, day tripped it flying out from Liverpool at 7.30am and back at 9.40pm. Flights weren't full either which was very nice.
First impressions the park has a very nice entry building and the Emerald Park logo is very nice. Not entirely sure why now but was also given a wristband to wear to prove we'd paid to get in. (we sort of hadn't as we were all Pleasure Beach season pass holders so got a days free entry, a nice saving of €42).
Sadly it's school trip season so we went left on entry and visited SBF visa land to ride Ladybird Loop. Felt like the shortest cycle I'd ever had on one of those.
Next up was the parks 2nd coaster, Flight School, a fun family coaster. Really nice themeing to airport security. And then Dino Dash another fun coaster were you could see how they'd stepped up the themeing again.
From there we headed to Tir Na Nog, the land of eternal youth. Which on the day I visited didn't open until 11am. The completed areas look really good and are another step up. No doubt once they get the Quests station building finished and the dining area done it'll be even better. Seemed like a lot of space behind the dining building for possible future attractions as well.
The coasters I had high hopes for having visited Tripsdrill a few weeks ago. And I'd say both are better, The Quest is for me the best junior boomerang layout as you keep up speed so much through the layout.
Fianna Force is so much fun, reridable (or it would be without the queues), and with a lot of its layout low to the ground again feels very whippy. A real elegant coaster.
After that we rode Cu Chullain which is probably showing it's age now but is still lots of fun managed over the day to ride front and back rows.
All in a really fun day out to a lovely park. Even had time for a pint of Guinness at a nearby pub before heading to the airport.
