Lets finish this little report up with Kolmarden! Originally I wasn't going to do Kolmarden but basically talked myself into it, mainly for Wildfire! I had a bit of faff with tickets, I had originally booked tickets for Thursday and the forecast changed and was showing storms for Thursday. I...

Hej! So the other week I spent 5 days in Stockholm, with the main intention of doing Grona Lund and Kolmarden as well as seeing the city. This was my itinerary: Monday: Flight, sight seeing & Vasa museum Tuesday: Grona Lund, ABBA Museum Wednesday: Kolmarden Thursday: Museum day (Nobel Prize...

Great trip report, I've just got back from Stockholm. Thanks for the recommendation for Meatballs for the People, loved it there!

I'm definitely interested! I'd be getting the train (and then who knows what). If anyone else is doing the same, give me a shout and see what we can sort out.

Of course Paultons is on the one weekend I have something planned in May! Sad times. Don't know if this is the right place to post, but if anyone is organising any small group trips (especially to Europe) I'd be interested in tagging along.

After visiting BPB last week I've updated my top 10 (Big One is out and Icon is in). Unsure of I'll get any more creds this year but time will tell! (Edited after visiting Thorpe in July) Helix, Liseberg (Mack) Zadra, Energylandia (RMC) Taiga, Linnanmaki (Intamin) Dive Coaster, Chimelong (B&M)...

I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually remodel the area after the entrance. The first thing you see is that tacky Wacky Worm. They could create a little 'Main Street' or something. Yeah a type of shuttle bus would work quite well. Or they do something crazy like building an underground train!

Um, the first post is missing for me on this thread. Is it just me? Anyway, here's mine: - Coaster Count at start of 2020: 127 - Coaster Count at end of 2020: 145 (Had planned to hit 150 this year!) - New coasters ridden in 2020: 18 - New parks visited in 2020: 2 - Park visits in 2020: 3...

I wonder how long it will be until the park put some kind of transportation in? With further expansion it's going to be quite the trek from the entrance to the back of the park!

Ha! I hadn't realised that - it is quite pleasing! Yeah I didn't expect a rapids to be rough, but I got jolted and whacked around quite a bit and found it quite unenjoyable. Not what I've experienced on other rapid rides.

So a few weeks ago I finally got to experience the now well known parks that are Energylandia and Legendia. I first considered making this trip last year when Zadra opened but I decided to wait until this year as Abyssus was also on its way (ha, look how that one worked out for me!) I won’t...

My updated top 20 after visiting Poland last week: Helix, Liseberg Zadra, Energylandia Taiga, Linnanmaki Dive Coaster, Chimelong Swarm, Thorpe Stealth, Thorpe Lech Coaster, Legendia Big One, Blackpool Grand National, Blackpool Tornado, Sarkanniemi Hyperion, Energylandia Baron 1898...

I have fond memories of going to Festyland as a child, it was quite a quirky park from what I remember. Various self-operated fairground type rides and so on. Looking at the website it seems to have modernised a lot since them. Thanks for sharing!

Great photos and report, especially the 'money shot'! Did you go on the dark ride which is sort of their own version of It's A Small World? It's such a beautiful park.

That's so frustrating for me. I purposely didn't go last year as Abyssus was due for this year. I'm due to go in September. Never mind!

As someone said above, each ride at Prater is operated by individual vendors. That's the reason you pay per ride and can't get wristbands for the whole park. Maskerade is a waste of space, barely does anything. Infinity Coaster... no way.

Stunning video, barely recognise it as the park I visited as a child! I really hope their next project is to replace the log flume, it sticks out like a sore thumb on that video.

Was browsing Atlas Obscura and they have this fantastic old map of Playland, NY: Source, with zoomable map: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/maps-to-get-lost-in

For those that have Disney+, 'The Imagineering Story' is a really interesting and insightful watch. There's also a 'Behind the Attraction' series in development too.
