    Where is your local park and how often do you visit?

    My home park is Phantasialand with a approximately 35 minute drive and I visit at least once a year for the winter event Wintertraum and sometimes one or two more visits during the summer season.

    What is your favourite coaster that you’ve only ridden once?

    If I really like a coaster, I always try go get rerides in. But sometimes, especially because of the queue times, it's hard to get more rides in. So my top coasters I have only ridden once (in no order): Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure: It's no secret, this ride can get extremely...

    Formula Rossa SBNO

    I want to visit Dubai and Abu Dhabi this winter, but I am still hesitant to book with Formula Rossa being closed. I sent Ferrari World an E-Mail and got the standard response: "Kindly be advised that we do not have any update about the opening time of fourmella rossa." So yeah, with no official...

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    Viking at Energylandia. The only Roller coaster that somehow managed to punch me in the eye. What a horrible decision to put OTSR on a Spinning Wild Mouse.

    Turning Japanese - A Japanese Adventure 2024 - Park 5: Fuji Q Highland

    Glad that you enjoyed Fuji-Q so much. I also visited the park using the bus from Shinjuku and I also wasn't sure, which bus would take me back to Shinjuku. There arrived a bus to Shinjuku at the exact time, my bus was supposed to arrive, but it was the earlier bus apparently. The Bus number was...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    100 - Huracan in Bellewaerde Park 200 - Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure in Islands of Adventure 300 - Kawasemi in Tobu Zoo Park I don't really pay that much attention to my Milestones, so I was pleasantly surprised with the result when I looked them up.

    A nice few days in USJ - Universal Studios Japan

    Glad I am not the only one, who really enjoyed Jaws 😄 Nice Trip report and have fun at Disney now. I am sure you will enjoy DisneySea. Even without Fantasy Springs it's an incredible park.

    Universal Studios Japan: a theme park to avoid

    I just got back from USJ and wanted to give my two cents, maybe it helps someone. I arrived at the park by about 7:50 and of course there were already masses of people there, despite the official opening time of 9:00. I got through the gates at around 8:20 and feared, not getting any early entry...

    Universal Studios Japan: a theme park to avoid

    I'm visiting USJ in two days and on one hand I am excited but on the other hand I am also kinda scared. I know that Flying Dinosaur is closed for maintenance, but I hoped to get atleast the remaining rides in, especially using the single rider lane, considering there aren't even that many rides...

    Turning Japanese - A Japanese Adventure 2024 - Park 5: Fuji Q Highland

    Yeah, I've seen videos of the dispatch ceremony of Eejanaika. Not really looking forward to that 😄

    Turning Japanese - A Japanese Adventure 2024 - Park 5: Fuji Q Highland

    Loving these Trip reports so far. I'm flying to Japan myself on friday and can't wait to experience this beautiful country (and of course the theme parks, too ;)). I hope to get a just as empty Nagashima Spa Land as you. I'm still a bit "scared" of the Japanese operations in the parks.

    Rank the Alton Towers coasters

    1. Wickerman - I really like GCIs, they are always fun rides. The theming and the pre show are really great, the layout itself is rather tame, compared to other GCIs, still a fun ride, imo. 2. Thirteen - I like the location in the forest, also the theming, the surprises. A fun ride, nothing too...

    Are GoPros allowed on the coasters in Fuji-Q Highland and Nagashima Spa Land

    To those who are interested: I reached out to the parks and got an answer from Fuji-Q, saying "bringing in a GoPro is not allowed" (I guess, they mean bringing in a GoPro on a ride). I have yet to get an answer fom Nagashima Spa Land

    Best night rides...

    I love night rides on Taron and F.L.Y. during Wintertraum. I go every year, and it still blows me away everytime. Iron Gwazi and Velocicoaster were awesome, too. To be honest, night rides enhance almost every coaster in my opinion.

    Florida - Part 9: Sea World

    Out of all the Orlando Parks, Magic Kingdom is probably my least favourite, too. Just because of the crowds. Not that the other Disney Parks are empty, by any chance, but Magic Kingdom was on another level. And I went on a supposedly rather quiet day. But when you have to resort to apps to...

    Are GoPros allowed on the coasters in Fuji-Q Highland and Nagashima Spa Land

    Hey everyone, I am travelling to Japan this May and I would like to record Onride POVs using a chest mounted GoPro. I know that you have to store your belongings, especially on Eejanaika, where you even have to take your shoes off, but there are plenty of Onride POVs on Youtube, so there must...

    [Complete!] 3 days at Phantasialand - Day ???: Somehow, forgetfulness

    Nice trip report and congrats on your new number #1. Nightrides on F.L.Y. and Taron are always something special for me. I can travel the world and visit as many parks as I want, but coming "home" to Phantasialand during Wintertraum and getting on both of these nightrides is always my highlight...
