Re: B&M Dive Machine for Gardaland in 2015 (?) From that video it seems like the drop/tunnel will be based around this orange vortex thing, looks like a sci-fi type of theme. Is the space drop tower staying? That would fit in with the theme.

I don't swing that way :wink: Yes its definitely worth a visit, Valhalla is amazing. The main thing it could do with is a few more flat rides after Bling left. Yeah, the scaffolding is annoying but they said it is part of repainting it and shouldn't be there forever. I didn't bother with...

I'm disappointed about Jordan's lack of love for wood. As for swapshop... I wish I had a clue what you were talking about! Care to enlighten me? Along with... Swarm? I kid... of course, it's Saw. :mrgreen:

It does indeed, my dad kept commenting how quiet it was when we arrived. The park was somewhat busy, mainly with groups of kids and young people. Think the longest I queued was 30 minutes, can't complain at that. Thanks! What... what's there to hate about Grand National? Haha. It's so much...

So for my birthday I decided to head up to Blackpool for a few days seeing as it’s a place I had never been and always wanted to do! We drove up Thursday morning (accompanied by delays) and hit the tower in the afternoon. I thought the 4D show was actually reasonably good, the tower was dead...

Ah this is bringing back memories of last year! I visited Macau twice, love it there. Glad you got to see the Venetian, its quite impressive. As are the casinos and the the old Portuguese buildings. I think Macau has some kind of agreement with the Portuguese to keep signs in their language for...

Its finally here! Here's the POV: (can't get it to embed) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAPKF6zKCqE Also the article its from: http://www.insidethemagic.net/2014/06/r ... emed-area/ It looks amazing from the POV, although maybe more screens than I expected and less interaction with theming...

Loving the report Gavin, reminds me of my time in China last year. I know exactly what you mean about the excitement of finding creds in the kiddies parks! I wish I had gone to Chengdu now, especially for the pandas. Seeing as your based in HK, have you learnt any Mandarin? Do you find it easy...

Re: Guangzhou PTR Day 2 Pt 2: Chimelong Paradise Great report Gavin, I enjoyed my visit to Chimelong last year however I don't think the forest walkthrough was open when I went, where abouts in the park is it? The half pipe is probably one of the most painful rides I've ever ridden. Ouchies...

I'm trying to figure out where abouts in the park this is, is it near the back near Ice Age, when I went last year I remember there being a large empty plot of land there. Looks interesting!

Re: Shenzhen Cred Whoring PTR - Day 3: Whoring + Happy Valle Great stuff Gavin! I lived in Xiaolan, Zhongshan for 5 months this year. I managed to do Happy Valley, Window of the World, Chimelong and parks in HK. I'm so jealous you got to do the Bullet Coaster, they were testing it when I was...

Oh I like the Golden Mickeys - it was so cheesy that it became funny... guess I didn't take it too seriously. Did you do Philiarmagic (whatever its called), I really enjoyed that. Would agree on most of your points, including the stupid mainland visitors!

I heard a few years ago that the park was thinking about a Gerstlauer Launch coaster next to The Cobra... I wonder if that's still on the table? It would be amazing.

Re: PortAventura New Attraction 2014 They really don't need anymore water rides at the park, think they have 3 as it is. Much prefer a dark ride but it's quite a big area for that.

This is quoted from Thorpe Park Mania "The new Zamperla Air Race arrived last night and is the trailer mounted Air Race 8.2 model. Opening date unknown as of yet, though it could be any day now seeing as it's trailer mounted." It was supposed to open this month, don't know what the delay is...

Thanks! Yeah I'm sure Hair Raiser would be a great ride if the whole car didn't shake from start to finish, I imagine its pretty hard to maintain the ride considering its on top of a huge hill! I bet B&M just love sending people up there. Thanks! I was really hoping to do Ocean Kingdom at...

Welcome to my trip report for Ocean Park in Hong Kong! Ocean Park is a marine theme park located on Hong Kong island. The park is made up of two sections, The Waterfront is located at the entrance of the park and then The Summit which is located at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean...

Re: China 2013: Hong Kong Disneyland TR Hong Kong Disneyland! Hello again! I'm back to report on my visit to Hong Kong. I will start off with my trip to Hong Kong Disneyland on Tuesday. I arrived on Monday via ferry from Zhongshan and stayed in a hostel in Chungking Mansions which actually...

Re: China 2013: 21st June - Chimelong Paradise TR Sadly I'm only here til July and from what I've heard its not opening until next year now, which is a great shame, I was hoping to visit whilst I was here. I was actually in Zhuhai the other day but didn't see any adverts for it yet.

Hello there! Since March I have been living in Zhongshan, China, I am currently teaching English here and I've taken the opportunity to visit various places. Today I went to Chimelong Paradise... and it was amazing! I hope you enjoy my trip report. This is my current schedule: Today...
