    Llandudno Pier Trip Report

    I was so excited to share some Chinese crap that I completely forgot about an epic UK park visit in the summer before I headed back to Hong Kong. I took my mum out for the day to Llandudno, not too far from my hometown and an easy enough train ride. I’d booked a show at the theatre there. We...

    Wenzhou/Taizhou PTR - Part 3: Fanta Wild Land

    The main reason for heading up to this area was a fairly new Fantawild park. RCDB lists it as Fantawild Land, but it would be more accurately labeled as Fanta Wildland or Fanta Wild Land. This is a bit of an anomaly with Fantawild as it doesn’t fall under one of their usual brands (Adventure...

    Wenzhou/Taizhou PTR - Part 3: Fanta Wild Land

    ^Yeah, looking at that water coaster at Oriental Heritage, I wouldn't be surprised if some others have slipped through the listings as Jinma. When I’d started planning this little jaunt, the idea was to stay overnight in Wenzhou, but since I’d decided to get that earlier flight back on the...

    Why is there no theme parks in The Balkans?

    Reykjavik could maybe support one of those family entertainment centres - there's a shopping centre a bit outside the city centre - but that would be about it.

    Wenzhou/Taizhou PTR - Part 3: Fanta Wild Land

    Here’s a weekend trip I did back in August. I got off work around lunchtime on the Friday which worked well for a direct Hong Kong – Wenzhou flight. I also had the Monday off, so was originally planning to take the full day doing stuff and get a flight back to Shenzhen (loads more flight...

    Scandinavia Trip Report - Part 6: Linnanmaki, Finland

    Right, let’s get this finished then. I had about a day and a half left in Helsinki, and Linnanmaki had added a major coaster since I was last there, so that was the first priority. As I mentioned before, my hotel was right at the train station, and I decided to walk around the lake to the park...

    Scandinavia Trip Report - Part 6: Linnanmaki, Finland

    Back to the report then... From Stockholm, I flew over to Helsinki. The flight landed quite late, but the trains into the city were still running regularly and my hotel was basically connected to the main train station, so it was all simple enough. Again, I’d been to Helsinki before, so this...

    Scandinavia Trip Report - Part 6: Linnanmaki, Finland

    Sorry, I completely missed this earlier; how rude of me! I just never got around to it. When I was old enough to have lessons, I couldn't afford them. Well, technically, I could have since I always had some kind of part-time job as a teenager, but I wasn't making much. I also knew I'd be...

    Scandinavia Trip Report - Part 6: Linnanmaki, Finland

    I’m really losing the will to live with this report, but here we go anyway. I did some touristy stuff (repeated from a visit ages ago) in Stockholm in the morning before heading to Grona Lund in the afternoon, starting off with the tower at City Hall, which had a broken lift, so that was nice...

    2024 Golden Ticket Awards

    I'm not going to bother even opening the link. Let me guess, they threw something at Europa and Blackpool again so that they can continue to pretend to be international?

    Icon or Hyperia; which of the UK’s Mack thrill coasters do you prefer?

    I've ridden neither, but it's Hyperia.

    TEA Global Attractions Attendance Report 2023

    I think it's safe to say that that's absolutely the case. They'll report the numbers based on the number of people who enter each day, regardless of whether they were there the day before as well. I don't see it as "inflating" numbers exactly. The number of people in the park is the same...
