Yeah our conclusion was also that the buzz bars must help with the floater. I heard that some people from the UK who paid visits to Knoebels weren't big fans. It was really pleasantly surprising for us! Our day at Hershey started with a very long walk from the car park to the theme park...

I know everyone has already said their fun comments but I just have to add: This really feels like a public release of a targeted ad for Emerald park. I feel like we're witnessing the drunken attempt of Friday-Night courting but in the rollercoaster industry. Like, who were they thinking would...

Sorry @Howie im going to have to one up you with one fell swoop. 8 new RMCs in one trip, quintupling my count from 2 to 10 😌 1. Iron Gwazi Rain ride on this was one of the single most unhinged experiences I have ever had on a coaster. Just utterly untethered insanity. 2. ArieForce One Lean...

Damn. Damn damn damn. Of any independent park, Phantasialand would be right at the bottom of my list of expecting a place to do this. Really wonder what the process was for these to find their way onto the park. Really quite disappointing.

We didn’t reach Knoebels until about 4pm, with it only open until 8. My mate was a bit wary that we’d spent too much time in the morning walking around DC, but the parks selection on paper really didn’t warrant a full days visit. I wasn’t wrong, but also I wasn’t right. Knoebels deserved a...

Kings Dominion drove home something pretty plain and simple for me. I hate amusement parks that don’t really try to make the experience between attractions pleasant. This place reminded me of Kentucky Kingdom, just with a much better selection of rides. For real, the concrete motorways...

This isn't a totally new practice - when the Schwarzkopf was in Canada it also had a train of exclusively lead cars. And as scary as that rollback video is, doesn't the coaster currently run just 1 train? If that's the case, wouldn't it be part of the insurers due-diligence to ensure the blocks...

2 things: 1. For some reason I read that as S&S Sky Swat and got really stupidly excited for about 3 seconds. 2. How long are we giving it until like every other Screamin' Swing in the US, it starts running with only 1 arm?

Busch Gardens Williamsburg was up there with Dollywood as a park I was really excited for, and with the new-found bounce in our step thanks to being well rested, we were ready to take this one head on. Things weren’t off to a good start though, with Escape from Pompeii, Le Scoot, Roman Rapids...

Thanks for the reply Ollie! Yeah, Dollywood was amazing. I think what was so impressive was the lack of true standout attraction for me, as everything had it's own character and strong traits. The park is on such a ridiculously consistently high level. We arrived at a slightly dreary...

After a very light nights sleep, we woke up bleary eyed and immediately packed up our bits, and headed to the nearest Buc-ee’s to get our morning brisket fill. We needed to line our stomachs properly and pattern up today, for we were headed to probably the most anticipated park of the entire...

Kentucky Kingdom marked the shortest time at a park on our trip. Sandwiched in the middle of a concrete jungle consisting of a pretty sizeable airport, expo center and multiple sports grounds, it’s location is very grey and barren. KK has very little shade, and with the heat surpassing 100f...

Thanks for the reply Hixee! I should apologise for the long delay in updates, I've been very busy between being face down in English countryside whilst at festivals and balancing a new job, whilst also doing some freelance work... After a couple hours of driving through the late morning sun...

It's something that's plagued Merlin for a while, and they've got in some big doodoo recently for not having proper staff remuneration. My experience at a merlin park was much the same; manager worthy workers preferred to stay on 0 hours because they actually got paid the time that they worked...

The morning started with a 3 hour drive to Six Flags. The parks entryway is really, really cool, with Goliath twisting and turning around the roads, and several other coasters creating a wall of steel and wooden mess, hiding the rest of the park's content from the outside world. I was...

Was at thorpe the day before it opened. Probably won't get back there again this year. Satisfied with the fact I've ridden 7 new RMCs and visited 13 other parks in the mean time and I think i'd just get angry with how short the layout is anyway, so I'm quite happy as a non-rider for now.

Montu, No. 23 for me. We were rained out of Busch so I only managed to do kumba and iron gwazi more than once, but I really enjoyed Montu. Very solid ride.

Busch Gardens Tampa was just out of reach from my previous trip across the pond. This time however, it made quite the impression on me. We rocked up to the park at about 11am, having tried to recoup some sleep from the turbulent night beforehand. It was pretty damn busy. But also, it was...

So last year I was fortunate enough to have a business trip out to Orlando near the end of the year. One of my friends from my stint at working at Europa Park was on the CRP, so I spent all my free time with him, catching up, talking about our previous doomed road trip, and theme-parking. During...

On the back of my East Coast Road Trip, my almost exclusively European top 10 has been obliterated, with the original 10 now spread across the top 24 positions. Should start getting a trip report up quite soon!
