I love Disney. I love Disney films, Disney parks, Disney songs...so the introduction of Disney + was, for me, an absolute wonder. Disney's first streaming service brought with it some new originals, one of which is The Imagineering Story. As you can imagine, this was right up my street. This 6 part docu-series follows the...

I'm a sucker for a dark ride. I love them. One that sticks in my memory from childhood is Toyland Tours, a boat ride at Alton Towers that opened in the same year as Nemesis and closed 15 years ago. This colourful and wacky adventure was always a highlight of Alton Towers trips as a... Continue Reading →
Merlin is a big player in the UK theme park game, with 4 of the most popular theme parks in the country.

Roller coasters have played a huge part in my life and are something that I just adore. I'm not a cred chaser or much of a counter really. I've got a spreadsheet of everything I've ridden (coasters, dark rides, the lot) but that's more for the nerdy excel lover in me than anything else haha.... Continue Reading →

That ride is, of course, Corkscrew.... Continue Reading →

In honour of the 7 decades of operation, I've put together 7 things, in no particular order, that I love... Continue Reading →
I haven't been to Paulton's Park for ages, having been a few times when my little brother was into Peppa Pig. It's a really sweet park that definitely seems to be on the up at the moment and with their new for 2020 land, Tornado Springs, it looks like the park is going from strength... Continue Reading →
If you go down to the woods today, you better not go alone...since there's a roller coaster there celebrating its 10th birthday! Thirteen, often stylised as Th13teen, is quite a marmite kind of coaster, people either love it or hate it. I'm in the first group of people. This ride is a lot of fun... Continue Reading →
This year marks 4 decades of one of the biggest theme parks in the UK. Though having existed for long before 1980, Alton Towers celebrates its birthday as a theme park on April 4th, the day that Corkscrew opened 40 years ago. Corkscrew would see the park become up there in the most popular theme... Continue Reading →
PortAventura is one of my favourite parks in the world. Opening 25 years ago, the park is huge and consists of 6 themed lands. PortAventura is known for having some record breaking coasters and honestly, when I went, I was blown away with the skyline. We've ranked the roller coasters at PortAventura so here's what...
