So - I'm not talking stuff like 'Taron is good' or 'RMC make the best coasters' - this is about those pictures that you feel the need to take on nearly every visit to a park, even though you're well aware that you have around 100 identical images at home. I've noticed it's become something of a...

Greetings. You may be unsurprised to know that I am bored, so yesterday, I began to sort out the bags of theme park related rubbish/treasure that I found when my parents cleared out my old bedroom. My favourite things that I've unearthed are a 2005 American Adventure map, a surprising amount...

So, a few of us have been having a bit of a play-fight this week over my insistence that everything at Phantasialand pretends to be better than it actually is; and that got us thinking about the many rides out there that LOOK good, but just plain aren't. A few nominations from me to kick us...

TLDR: I went to Germany. I got a cred that wasn't great and it was cold and it rained. I was very honoured to receive a nomination for best trip reporter, so I’d be lying if I said I’m not a bit more nervous than usual about this one… So, as you know, I had the joys of COVID recently and...

So, I had the immense good fortune to be at Phantasialand yesterday and it got me [over]thinking my opinions and their potential inaccuracy. Long story short, I had one of those days at Phantasia back in 2011 - I was tired, it was busy and I was in a 'no mood' and possibly, when I've compared...

As I've mentioned elsewhere - I'll be playing Jackbox with some of the CF crowd tonight - 19:30 UK time No purchase, download etc. necessary, all you need is your phone and that stream :)

I was having this chat with a non-goon and figured it was probably better placed here. My first theme park trip was Alton in '92. I was 4 and of course, that was the season it really transformed into a 'theme park' rather than a random collection of rides. I don't have many memories other than...

So, as I may have mentioned a hundred times or so, I managed to defy the odds and spend New Year in Belgium. It was a trip I booked on impulse for no better reason than I found my parents were going to see friends near Lincoln and I didn't want to spend it alone. As I may have mentioned even...

**Needless to say, the below contains spoilers. If you are planning to visit in the next couple of weeks and do not wish to know what the event entails, exit now** So, as you all know, I’ve always been a ‘Towers tosser’ at heart, so I decided to check out their Christmas event yesterday...

The other topic looked to be more of a planning/list of attractions thread, so I thought I'd make this one to chat about those you've actually done! I kicked off the season at Twinlakes last night (alone, as my usual companion seems to think planning a wedding takes priority!!!) I've visited...

...just remembered I meant to give this a mention after Jerry brought it up during the CF Zoom chat earlier - and I've probably posted this in the wrong place :D I imagine a lot of us are users of coaster-count.com and this year's poll is underway - though I'm a little late with this and it...

It’s too hot today and yesterday marked only my second proper theme park visit of what’s obviously been a truly crappy 2020 so far, meaning it’s time for a review of sorts. On returning home, I had a scan through the report @Matt N had just posted, thinking that at least one person would have...

ROAR! As many of you probably know, I recently returned from the Netherlands where my first proper coaster trip of 2019 took place. For obvious reasons, this had been on the cards for a fair while. Additionally – apologies if this isn’t up to my usual standard of writing. Much of it was...

It's taken me over 9 hours to get from River Park to home and I have very little energy (LANDIA!) and I'm looking forward to an early night, but I wanted to kick things off and say some thank yous before I forgot. First, obviously to Dr Dave to ferrying me and Sue around all weekend and happily...

Since we're probably going to end up with one of these at some point, no time like the present. Post your predictions, post-match analysis, complaints about the terrible TV pundits and excuses when England fail to make it past the last-16 here :)

Just a quick one from me today as I’ve not done a long drive in a while and it’s finished me off! So, as I’m finally starting a new job next Monday, I wanted to do something fun but comparatively inexpensive and the usual check of coaster-count showed that a couple of new creds which had somehow...

OK, so this is the gooniest most noobish thread I've made in a long time, but seeing a debate in one of the other threads made me curious. I've taken out Nemesis for obvious reasons, so my question is - what's your favourite non-Nemesis UK coaster. Feel free to post a top 5 or top 10 and let...

This town, is coming like a ghost town… All the creds are being closed down. People getting angry… So, along with the rest of the UK enthusiast community, I’ve had this weekend marked on my calendar for several weeks and have been significantly unimpressed with the way it’s turned out...

This is a game I was playing when I couldn't sleep last night - basically, assuming travel in time was no object, which parks would you visit and in which seasons? There's a risk of this turning into the Park of the Dead topic again, but we shall see. I don't actually know a lot about how...
