    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    ^That looks really cool - if they’re anywhere near as good at Karl’s they’ll be into a winner!

    Most Overrated Park you've been to?

    It's Dollywood guys I'm sad to say. ALSO, and I'm prepared to take some flack for this, Cedar Point. The end of the park where Steel Vengeance and Maverick live is great by that park is HUGE. When only a quarter of your park is full of great stuff and the other 75% is...not...yh...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    ^The thing is, I get from a business perspective if the ride(s) needed to close. There could be any number of reasons, we don't know what the true state of the thing was, cost of upkeep (eg not just for immediate future but for say...10/15 years in the future, is it worth the investment if it's...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Re Blue Streak man - I don't get why he's going out of his way to be as cruel and disrespectful to those who loved and support the place as possible? I understand parks relationships with attractions can at times be a testing one, but to be so blatantly revelling in publicly dismantling...

    Your Earliest Theme Park Memory

    I remember: Crying in some sort of show at Thorpe Park where there was a dinosaur and my Nan having to take me out. Not sure on the year but I reckon 1993. Standing with my pregnant mother in 1994 whilst my dad rode Nemesis. Crying in the queue for Haunted Mansion at WDW in 1994 and my...

    Minor changes you would make to existing attractions

    Oooh good topic. Add some theming to the final brake run down into the station on Vampire so it’s more of a scare ending - kind of like Mystic Timbers? Music/fog/strobes for Apocalypse at Drayton Manor. Generally more water effects for UK rapids. Something in the Air pre-lift hill tunnel -...

    What is your favourite part of Christmas dinner? (Or equivalent)

    ^I came here to say the same 😂 Interestingly my dad made some beef short rib to go with their dinner this year. Sadly I wasn’t there to taste it so hopefully he does it again next year too!

    "Now Showing"

    Echoing @peep's views on the Matrix, I also found it meh. I reeeeaaalllyyy wanted to like it but it just felt really pointless. I also saw Spiderman, and really enjoyed it. Especially considering I've only **very** lightly skimmed the MCU and was worried I wouldn't have a bloody clue what was...

    CF Meetups

    My biggest advice if you're feeling nervous would be somebody with you that you're comfortable with (a friend or relative for example). I found it really took the edge off and made chatting to people a lot easier as that person could act like a bit of support and familiarity in a new setting...

    5 Rides To Know You

    Thing going around on Twitter than I thought would be fun to get some thoughts on. Idea (as I interpreted it anyway) is to list 5 attractions that reveal something about you as a person. Not necessarily your Top 5 by any means, just a list of 5 that you feel are descriptive of you in some way...

    What is your favourite part of Christmas dinner? (Or equivalent)

    Parsnips, stuffing, pigs in blankets. Specifically my dads, and I'm in Ireland this year so I won't get them 😭 Also I reeeeeally like Christmas Pudding. And Christmas Cake. Anything heavily spiced and smothered in marzipan can get in my face.

    Your year in review - 2021 edition

    - Coaster count at start of 2021: 1089 - Coaster count at end of 2021: 1102 - New coasters ridden in 2021: *whispers* Thirteen - New parks visited in 2021: Siam Park and Loro Parque (stretching it a bit with both considering neither are technically theme parks). Oh and Diggerland I guess. -...

    "Now Showing"

    Now watch A Star Is Born. I'll save you The Greatest Showman though if you didn't like La La Land as the songs were done by the same people. And I'd largely agree, La La Land IS very basic when it comes to storytelling and characters, I just really like the ending , and unfortunately for you to...

    New efteling hotel

    I don't know if it's just bad translation, but that article seems to suggest the hotel will become the new entrance to the park. Which kind of sucks? The House of the Five Senses is an absolutely iconic piece of theme park architecture and one of the most impressive theme park entrances. I hope...
