I enjoyed Sik too, so much better than Colossus! The station might be a bit odd but I think the minimalist club vibe kind of works with it. Velocity seems fun - got spited by that one earlier this year unfortunately, but Flamingo Land is a tough one to feel that bothered about returning to...

I kind of hate 'Pantherian'. It's so pedestrian and meaningless. Even 'Panther 305' would've been much better.

Aw, that's rough! Did you still go to the park anyway? It looks a bit tricky to get to from the train station

Awesome, so glad it worked out for you! It does look like a really cute park. I'm still planning to try this Friday, which is cutting it pretty fine but eh. The weather forecast looks good so far....

Did you make it?? And if so was it worth it?

It's very annoying that the ferries don't seem to carry foot passengers, as it looks really close to the Dunkirk ferry terminal...

That's exactly what I was thinking 😆 Good luck!

Yeah I emailed them too! I wanted to go this Friday but that doesn't look possible now, and the weekend after that is currently predicted to be raining... argh! Fingers crossed for both of us, we're cutting a bit fine eh 😄

Yep. Praying for dry weather! Just looks a bit weird now with all that construction behind it

This is worrying, I want to get on the Wild Train within the next couple of weeks but it looks like it's going to get eaten up by this building site before the end of the season!

Yeah I'd pretty much agree with all of that, though I can't compare with any of the US parks yet! Sounds like we had a similar experience though I didn't get any coaster re-rides, probably could have got another Mandrill towards the end of the day but wasn't really that stoked for it. There are...

Harsh 😆 Maybe just a little bit s**te

Yes that little Gruffalo/Vampire valley was really magical actually, probably the best bit of the park! I can see how it would make you very nostalgic if you went as a kid. I haven't been on a spinning coaster yet apart from the usual crappy wild mouse clones, and have been a bit reluctant to...

Never been tempted to go on the flying elephants - sounds like that may have been a lucky escape :D

I had no idea it was even a thing. Are there others like this?! I noticed that they also had some kind of flume where spectators could pay £2 to fire a jet of water at the riders... hilarious

This trip didn't get off to the best start as I thought my Discovery Pass was valid on this date, but it wasn't. I had already booked my other half's ticket, so sunk cost fallacy was clearly the way forward. The first thing that struck me was how many school-age kids were at the park on a term...

Would love to join. Either of the Feb dates work for me!

Thanks so much to @Serena for organising this and for making it such a fun day! So many firsts for me... and it was just amazing. Also thanks to lovely @Karen for (metaphorically) holding my very nervous hand on Hyperia and @Disco Lumberjack for letting me have the outer seat on The Swarm ;)...

. Seconded, hope you'll be OK Serena! I'll be on my own too Lumberjack. Would anyone be willing to connect with a newbie via WhatsApp or whatever in case I get delayed and can't find the group?

Thank you! Do you know if it usually takes a while to get through security at that time in the morning, or is it generally quiet? I'm not sure how early to get there.
