I wouldn’t be surprised.. having been on a day that should on paper have been busy, and finding it empty except a few fellow goons is concerning…

Drakon - Paultons Park I’m a bit on the fence about this one.. the themed elements and planting surrounding the ride are gorgeous and Valgard as a whole is so well executed. My first ride (back row) was fine, fairly smooth and fun. However coming back at the end of the day (front row) we found...

Absolutely love a good theme park hotel, always such a treat. My order of best to worst (give or take): 1) Grand Curiosa - Liseberg. Gorgeous place, luxe rooms, great price point and the onsite Asian restaurant was fabulous- oh and the epic bar too! Love love love. 2) Hotel Bell Rock- Europa...

It's a fun time of year to visit, bloody freezing but lovely. Ride availability is usually really good.

I got my first few rides on Hyperia yesterday. I found it very hard to know what to make of it, personally I found it a little too intense with little to no let up. I had a headache after each ride which was a shame (and this is very unusual for me). There was a noticeable rattle in places, not...

My closest park is Thorpe at around a 40 minute drive, I visit once or twice a year max.
