    A short getaway to Port Aventura Resort - 14-17 september 2026

    Just FYI, your photos won't be viewable to anyone in the UK due to the upload service you are using. Nice to read someone else's thoughts on PA though, I went back in May this year and stayed at El Paso too

    Hansa Park | Cornwall Coaster | Gerstlauer Family Coaster | 2026

    Rode this on Friday and can agree with the above, It's a great ride package with the theming and music. The launches are fun and the backward parts have some intensity to them. What is the Palacio De Braga development about?

    Why is theme park food so bad?

    This was something I was thinking about the other day, funnily enough! I'll start off saying the Chinese restaurant at Phantasialand was great and probably the best theme park restaurant I've eaten at. A few more opinions -Walibi options are pretty hit and miss although I did have a decent...

    [Apr 2026] PortAventura & Ferrari Land

    Someone enjoying Baco... unheard of! (You couldn't pay me enough to want to ride it again) Interesting to read your report as I visited last month and also stayed at El Paso. Have never heard of the lottery system, is that on their website? I was quite disappointed by El Paso, my room was quite...

    PortAventura - Dragon Khan to get a retrack?

    How likely is this to happen this year? Planning a trip at some point, I presume they would have said if Dragon Khan would be closed at all this season?

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Some news about Funland at Hayling Island. Seems the log flume and a coaster will be going. Doesn't specify which coaster but I presume it's the wild mouse as that's next to the log flume. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/business/hayling-funland-revamp-announced-5351650

    It's Walibin' Time - My First Visit to Walibi Holland

    I had my first visit a few weeks ago too, very interesting to compare our views! I absolutely hated both sides of YoY unfortunately. I don't know if its because I'm a shorter person but the restraints absolutely killed my legs and I was in pain for most of the layout. Such a shame as its a...

    Roller Coaster TV Programs and Other Related Videos

    I watched it last night. I agree some of the statistics are very vague and they don't go into details. A lot of it was interviews with people involved in accidents and industry insiders. It was an OK watch but a very brief overview. Some of the inspection failures raised were concerning but I...

    Futuroscope | The Race | Vekoma Thrill Glider | 2028

    RCDB have it down as a Vekoma - https://rcdb.com/22914.htm Great to see the park investing so much however 2028 does seem a long way away!

    WTF Merlin?

    Wasn't there talk of the Sealife chain being sold off? I presume that's why that hasn't been handed over to the council to run.

    Wiener Prater | Wiener Looping | Mack BigDipper Coaster | 2025

    Nope. I was in Vienna from Sunday until yesterday and they were letting 'influencers' on but it didn't open to the public at all which was very frustrating. The area is still very much a construction zone, I feel it could still be a few weeks until it opens.

    A Wiener Weekend - Part 2: Helios

    Great report, Helios does look great! I'm off to Vienna tomorrow and feel your frustration about Wiener Looping and the lack of communication. It's frustrating seeing various influencers have gotten on it, yet no public opening date has been given. I'm sure they are working as hard as they can...
