On Saturday, we decided to head to Alton Towers to check out their Christmas offering for 2021. This year, Alton Towers have decked themselves beautifully for the holiday season with Christmas Markets, a limited ride offering (mainly geared towards smaller children), entertainment and Lightopia, an immersive walk-through based on the four seasons. Here's our thoughts... Continue Reading →
On Saturday, we took my nephew to Alton Towers for a day out. He is 2 years old and, though he is super close to 0.9m, he's still just a tiny bit short to meet that minimum height requirement. This means that most of the rides at the park aren't suitable for him yet. But... Continue Reading →
My little brother just turned 12 and for his birthday, we decided to surprise him with a trip to Drayton Manor, a park he hasn't even visited. He's now 1.4m but so far, he's only been on Galactica so we were hoping to be able to get him on Shockwave but we decided we would... Continue Reading →
We all know that I'm a massive fan of dark rides. I absolutely love them. In some ways, they are my favourite part of theme parks and have been since I was little. I don't think I've ever been to Alton Towers without Hex or Duel. Some of my earliest memories are Toyland Tours, Professor... Continue Reading →
There's a lot of attractions that crop up in TV and film. We just have to think about the iconic Inbetweeners episode at Thorpe Park or when the Modern Family bunch headed to Disneyland. But sometimes, they go the extra step and create a fictional attraction for their characters to visit! Here's a few fictional... Continue Reading →

There hasn't been much official information about the ride from Chessington themselves...until now! Chessington have finally revealed that Croc Drop, an SBF Visa drop tower, will be coming to the park for the 2021... Continue Reading →
Thorpe Park is known for its coaster line up but don't be fooled, it isn't all about the roller coasters! There's some really great flat rides at Thorpe Park that don't get enough credit. As we went during Fright Nights, the smaller kiddie rides in the Old Town area of the park were closed so... Continue Reading →
At the centre of quite possibly one of the biggest theme park debates in the UK, Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park is definitely a ride that comes with a lot of discussion. Just like its sister ride Nemesis at Alton Towers, the coaster was designed by John Wardley and built by B&M, which leads to... Continue Reading →
I love scary movies. Coming from a family of horror fans, I have always been into the genre. So when two of my loves, horror films and roller coasters, came together to create Saw - The Ride, I was beyond excited. I did ride this once when I was younger but it wasn't until last...

I love theming. Nothing makes an area more exciting or immersive than good theming and it really can elevate a park to the next level. If the area is well themed, if a ride is well themed, you can bet that I'm going to love it. I often find the UK to have an odd... Continue Reading →
