Slammer at Thorpe Park will always be my favourite flat 💔 Shame it was a maintenance nightmare but i'm glad I got to experience an S&S Sky Swat. As for current flats though i'd have to say an Intamin Gyroswing is probably my favourite. I was also a big fan of Black Mamba at Prater, a Funtime...

Haven't updated my top 10 in a while and have a few changes from 2025. New for 2025 in bold. 1) Toutatis 2) Untamed 3) Kondaa 4) Shambala 5) Hyperia 6) Ride to Happiness 7) Taron 8) Balder 9) Helix 10) Nemesis Kondaa used to be my number one, with Toutatis in second place. After riding both...

In May I did 27 rides in a day on Hyperia. Had unlimited Fasttrack on it thanks to a black friday deal staying in the cabins. There was people on park who had done it over 30 times that day. Not sure on exact numbers but I've definitely done Inferno and Stealth more than that in a day before...

Are you going weekdays or weekends? If you're doing weekdays, i'd say no express needed. Just done a few days on weekdays and park was very quiet, operations were fairly decent. Make use or SRQs too. They were fab. Weekends will be a different story though I imagine.

Portaventura Trip Report – Day 1 Travel & Hotel Huge bucket list park for me: PortAventura. I’ve been watching vlogs and reading plenty of reports from PortAventura since a young age, but I’ve just never got around to doing it. They don’t have a huge coaster lineup, and with so many mixed...

Had my first ever visit to Gröna Lund last Saturday. It’s a nice little park, and really impressive how much they’ve managed to cram into such a small space. Monster is a brilliant little B&M Invert. It’s amazing how well they’ve made it fit in the park - it just looks like it’s always been...

The park have handled this terribly. Its a shame they couldn't keep it open for its 20 years and give it a send of it deserves.

Seems hours have been cut an hour too, previously 11-7 now 11:30-6:30. Shame about the reduced coaster lineup, but doesn't surprise me. It was an absolute ghost town when I went back in 2022.

Day 2 - Parc Asterix Next up was Parc Asterix. A big bucket list park for me, and it didn’t disappoint. It was quite pricey at €62 for entry and €20 for parking. The park had their halloween event on which I didn’t look into at all before visiting, as I was mainly going for the coasters...

Last week I decided to do a couple of European parks for the first time, Plopsaland and Parc Asterix. Ride To Happiness has been high on my bucket list for a long time and I've always wanted to do Asterix, especially since Toutatis opened. I looked at a few different options, originally I was...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think this is from an official Towers app so they don't deserve the credit for this, I believe this screenshot is taken from https://ride-times.co.uk/ which is from the creators of https://queuetimehub.com/ Towers actually actively go out of there way to...

Completely agree with this. Thorpe has been gradually improving the last few years but this is one of my favorite seasons since I started visiting around 2011. I do also worry about the future though. With Chessington having midweek closures and hours cut, Towers having staggered openings and...

Update from the park to confirm it won't be open this Saturday. SAW is now back open which means the crane is no longer required, and good news that'll start testing soon. Hopefully won't be too long now!

Couple updates from today

I'm gutted for Thorpe it had to close after a day. After such a successful opening and running flawlessly pretty much all day Friday this is a big blow for the park. I got told by an operator the shutdowns on Friday were mainly due to issues with the gates which were tripping the ride out...
