To defend the (and I loathe the rather sexist term) "Karens", this isn't just a breakdown. A derailment is a serious incident that should not occur ever, and suggests maintenance issues. They are lucky no-one is hurt, as a derailment in another location could be lethal.

Well that can't be good

Joris en de Draak on my last trip. It was torrential rain just as the train left the station. The rain ended up flooding the car park it was that bad.

- New Vekoma at Galaxyland 1 or 2? - 1 - Gold Rush at DMP (2 cycles on the same track) 1 or 2? - 1 - it is possible to ride the full track in one go, so it's just one. - Moebius coasters 1 or 2? - 2 as I'd have to queue twice to experience all of it. - Twin coasters 1 or 2? - 2, again, if I have...

I get the impression that their investments aren't as expensive as those by Merlin. Valgard reportedly cost £12 million Lost Kingdom reportedly cost £9 million. By comparison, World of Jumanji reportedly cost £17 million, so only £4 million short of both Valgard and Lost Kindom combined...

I do sense that some of us lose focus over who this park is actually for. I am sure it'll be a hit for the locals.

I've done a lot of visits recently, and I'd like to offer my counter-argument on the above. For context, I have a Merlin Annual Pass, so I'm not coming at this from wanting to put down the Merlin parks because I like and want to visit them. I would agree, ride for ride, yes, Paultons is...

Oh dear, the paint job on that pair of Corkscrews is garbage.

People just might not have much to add to what you've posted?

For me it's my favourite sensation on a rollercoaster.

In the case of The Flume and Loggers Leap, I see where you are coming from as Hyperia and Wicker Man are better than the rides they replaced. However... Where my frustration lies with both replacements is that they created a hole in the park line ups. Log flumes are a dying breed, and are a...

I have seen a few people mention Daemonen being terrible and rough, but when I rode in 2023 I absolutely loved it and didn't find it rough. Did it just go downhill sharply recently?

I mourn the death of any log flume. Reject log flume erasure, embrace the log flume.

My wife and I went to both Paultons and Legoland 2 weeks apart with our child in June. Same price visits (as noted above). We came away from Paultons happy and got value from it. We did 13 rides in the day, despite it being a weekend. We ate in a spacious air conditioned eatery. Legoland was...

It is worth noting that Merlin's model is different to Paultons in that there's limited hidden fees. I went to Legoland recently. Two adults was £39 each ..but then the parking is extra, £12. That's £90 overall. Fastrack is then extra on top of that if required. Paultons is £45 online, that's...

I rode Baron 1898 in May and it didn't feel rough then I thought.

My phone has to truly be completely inoperable for me to get a new one. I HATE the process of transferring contacts etc. to a new device.

What is it with things in or near Europa Park catching fire?!
