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 →
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 →
Thorpe Park is one of the UK's most popular theme parks, known mostly for its line up of coasters. Aimed more at the thrillseekers than other Merlin parks, Thorpe wasn't one that I visited much as a child and only had my first proper visit this year. One of the most record-breaking rides in the...

It will come as no surprise that I love a dark ride. Sometimes, dark rides are my favourite part of a theme park visit and they can really add something really special. In the UK, it seems that dark rides tend to take a back seat in a lot of respects and we don't see... Continue Reading →
The theme park industry is struggling right now. The 2020 season should be well under way. Last week's gorgeous weather would have seen so many flock to parks across 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 →
It is almost the end of the year and this New Year's Eve isn't just bringing 2019 to a close, but also the whole of the 2010s. As we approach 2020, it is time to reminisce on what has happened this decade and how the roller coaster landscape of the UK has changed. Here is... Continue Reading →
I'm going to get one thing out the way now: I love dark rides. I love how intensely themed you can go with this kind of ride and how creative, unique and original they can be. The UK isn't known for its dark rides really but that doesn't mean we don't have some amazing ones... Continue Reading →
Disneyland Paris, previously known as Euro Disney, is Europe's theme park version of the magical world of Disney. Opening in 1992 and 2002 respectively, the resort is made up of two parks: Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios. Though best known for its family attractions and kid friendly atmosphere, don't discount Disneyland Paris when it... Continue Reading →
We don't get a huge amount of time to truly appreciate this country's water rides since the UK doesn't usually get too hot. Occasionally though, the sun decides to show its face and we get some good solid summer weather. With the temperatures climbing, one of my favourite things to do at the theme park...
