Day 2 - Dollywood Now Dollywood has been a bucket list park for me for...almost 20 years. So when I was flying into Atlanta, and Dollywood was a mere 4 hours away, I simply had to do it. I was stoked that the park had amazing opening hours for my day, 10am-9.30pm, but gutted to miss out on the...

MovieLand Italy will be introducing three new experiences for 2027, which will include two changes to existing attractions to increase capacity: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1677727780004122 Return to Pangea II Pangea is the attraction where guests drive their own jeep around a track and...

If I had a penny for every US theme park that teased a new ride using a dressed up container this year, I'd have two pennies. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

I'm not surprised by this. In fact, I'm surprised so many people on social media think something will happen quickly. It was barely a month ago that the closure was announced. I'm sure across the industry there was some internals rumblings a bit before then. Even then, nothing leaked until a...

Walibi Holland will be introducing a new ride next year in their children area, as reported by Looopings. Currently not known what.

Day 1 - Six Flags Over Georgia With SFOG not opening until 11, and my hotel being pretty close by, I was able to have a decent lie in and get some much-needed sleep. I also had my first taste of an Ihop, grabbing some delicious pancakes for breakfast. Now as mentioned, there were threats of...

So with Fun Spot Atlanta closing down, and more specifically ArieForce One potentially going down forever, I made the decision to do a last-minute state-side trip. I'd been loosely toying with the idea of a US trip next year, so I already had some funds set aside for such a trip, but not as much...

I was at the park on Saturday. Not much has changed visually since the above photos, but just to add a couple more to the mix... (Unsure why second image has rotated...) One thing that struck me is the show building does look like a giant warehouse. Maybe they'll add shrubbery/trees/etc...

More like Big Slipper am I right... (But seriously, hope everyone is okay!)

As someone who has never ridden AF1 or Kumba, I'm glad I've got a last minute trip booked to ride AF1. And if both closures had been announced at the same time, I'd probably have gone for the trip I have still. I'm gutted to not get a chance to ride Kumba, but at the same time, it's never had a...

Lift hill effectively topped off today

Barring the recent issues with Baron, which largely have been well advertised in advance anyway, I've always thought Efteling's operations have been pretty good.

Well that's come out of nowhere, but very much a welcome announcement! The space theme doesn't feel totally Efteling but I reckon they'll make it work for them.

The other argument here is that all the Hot Racers to date have been launched, which immediately differentiates it from the Raptors. They can easily coexist as a result I reckon.

Christ it looks good and I can't wait to go back.

On the topic of fast food whilst abroad, I think that has a place in learning of culture. When in a new country, I always try to eat at a McDonald's. Seeing the small (or big) differences gives you an actual insight into a country. Obviously there's a time and place to try local cuisine, but a...

I think it'll still be a great experience being launched so high, so fast and spinning. I'd rather a full circuit layout, especially as I think that could have really added to the experience when at the top. The thing which I think is the biggest shame is that going up is just a straight...

Sod's law - this is the type of ride which unironically I'd love to ride, and now I've booked a trip there, it shuts down... Wonder what the actual upgrades will entail?
