I'm going to start this post by saying how happy I am that we were able to have a Scarefest this year. Seeing Halloween events across the country have to cancel their attractions, I wasn't sure that Alton Towers would be able to pull off a successful AND safe Scarefest at all. In the end...

As a kid, I absolutely bloody adored Wallace and Gromit and I still do. From a Grand Day Out to the Wrong Trousers, I have a huge soft spot for Wallace and Gromit. When I found out that there was a ride themed to the loveable pair at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, I'm sure you can... Continue Reading →
This week's This or That comes from you! I've had a few people ask me their own this or that's since the first post so I thought I'd put together some of your questions.

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...

If anyone knows me well, they'll know I adore a dark ride. Though PortAventura Park is lacking in these kinds of attractions, in 2019, they introduced Street Mission onto the scene and honestly, what a triumph it is.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a brilliant and historic park that is known for its classic woodies, its 1994 club addition The Big One and a lot more quality coaster action. With 10 roller coasters (including 2 geared towards children), the park makes for great riding for everyone. But which are the best? Here's our roller... Continue Reading →
Nemesis: Sub Terra opened in March 2012 at Alton Towers as a new dark ride, something the park definitely needed. Though opening to some pretty harsh criticism, Alton Towers took the negative feedback, did some work and came back stronger with the revamped ride winning over a lot of people. Despite this improvement, over the... Continue Reading →
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a seaside park, located along the Fylde Coast, that has been running since 1896. Although Blackpool Pleasure Beach does feature a lot of great roller coasters like the new for 2018, Icon, and old wooden classics like Big Dipper, something Blackpool does better than most other UK theme parks is dark...

Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom is a family run zoo in Telford, Shropshire. The farm has been running for around 200 years but as the version we know today, Hoo Farm has been operating since 1991 and gained their zoo license in 2008, becoming Shropshire's first zoo. For my little brother's birthday, we visited Hoo Farm... Continue Reading →
