    Oakwood 2018

    Yup. I live in Cardiff and the first time I went I did it without a car. Needed a train and a taxi. Proper ballache.

    I know right!? It’s gonna be some form of dilapidated second hand fair ride.

    New Space Mountain Disneyland Paris

    Apparently the previously unused mezzanine around the station will hold the single rider queue. No idea where the entry will be though. There were also rumours that they were relocating the fastpass entrance - no idea if this has happened or not.

    New Space Mountain Disneyland Paris

    The ride sort-opened last week and from reading reports by @ed92live on Twitter, little has changed unfortunately. The ride is still Mission 2. Effects have been updated and improved however it seems that little else has changed. The cannon opens and closes and puffs smoke but still doesn't...

    Accident at Alton Towers

    Given that SAW has reopened, does this suggest the accident was more likely the product of human error rather than the ride itself?

    Oakwood - Aug 2014

    I've heard quite a lot of bad things about Oakwood lately and the reviews on TripAdvisor are really negative. Is it true that Bounce, Drenched and the Pirate Ship are all currently closed?

    First Trip to Europe PTR - Day 4: Friday the Th13teenth

    Now correct me if I'm wrong but I was always under the impression that bag drop offs improved throughput as they reduce loading times no?

    Thorpe Park Fright Nights 2013

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question but are all the mazes free with park entry? It's just that I know AT charge for some mazes and I assumed TP would be the same but can't see any prices. Thanks

    Cheap hotels Disneyland Paris

    I've stayed at Sejours et Affaires a couple of times and they're quite good. It's around the corner from the etap in Val d'Europe and opposite a massive shopping centre / supermarket. The rooms also have kitchens which can be quite handy. http://www.sejours-affaires.com/reserva ... s-179.html

    Track "seperates" on The Smiler

    The use of the word "allegedly" is to ensure they don't admit liability in case someone were to hypothetically claim for something.

    Thorpe Park 2012 Updates

    It's a bit of a backfire considering the money they've spent. But shame really - I was in the park on Sunday and my brother and flatmate said it was their favourite ride after Stealth. I think it's got a lot of re-rideability because you obviously get scared differently everytime. It was...

    Thorpe Park 2012 Updates

    http://www.ukparknews.co.uk/entry/cms/a ... ttraction/ Looks like Saw Alive has now been limited to only opening during Fright Nights! I do get why this has happened but it is a shame they have decided to close the attraction down. I was in the park on Sunday and it did have a 10 minute queue...

    Drayton Manor 29/7/10 TR

    Went to Drayton Manor Park with a friend last thursday whilst on a two day trip to Birmingham. It was my first visit since about five years however not that much had changed. We got to the park by 9:20, got in by half past and managed to eat breakfast and go round the zoo by 10:30 by which point...

    Did Th13teen live up to the hype and your expectations?

    I went on Thirteen four times today and enjoyed it every single time. The dropping track is a really good concept and I think it's going to be unique for quite some time - I doubt many of these roller coaster will open all across the UK. I thought the ride had a good opening, a very good...
