"Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push" - March 22nd 2025 After an early start waking up at the wee hour of 4:10am it was time to make my way to this Spanish theme park. My flight arrived in Madrid early, but after 20 minutes of taxiing, I unboarded the...

I had one hour. 60 minutes to connect at one of Scandinavia's largest airports. For a well seasoned traveller connecting flights is all par for the course, but for me this time constraint pounded in my head like the sound of a pneumatic drill. I have gathered a fair bit of travel experience...

I first visited Phantasialand 5 years ago back in 2019. I don't know how it's been 5 years since then! Honestly feels little more than a year ago since I was walking down this main street excited for my first rides on Taron. The reason for returning was kind of impromptu as I had found a really...

It's that time of year again when I am running out of annual leave. So with a remaining few days left I made a fairly last minute booking to Stockholm. A quick 2 and 1/2 day operation of an afternoon at Grona Lund, a day outing at Kolmarden and finally some city sightseeing the following day. I...

This month has presented quite the opportunity for travel with 3 bank holiday weekends. Thanks to the Royal Coronation of King Charles III, I could have 5 days off work for the price of 2, plus my mum and stepdad had invited me to go on holiday with them and while I would usually reject such an...

After dipping my toes in with travelling to 2 parks last month, it was time for my most ambitious trip yet. Travelling from Paris to Depanne to Brussels and then finally Charleroi to do 3 parks in 3 days all while using public transport. While I had some hiccups that you will read later, the...

Here's my latest park "Belmark Gardens" a theme park inspired on the Merlin parks - most notably Gardaland and Hedie. This park features 9 roller coasters, 3 dark Rides, 2 water rides and several flat rides. Belmark has many themed areas some of which are IP based. This area is themed to a 50s...

-March 4th: Toverland I have been an enthusiast for as long as I can remember, but yet I still have less than 200 coaster credits. Since covid I am making an attempt to change that. Last year I was luckily enough to ride some incredible coasters. Why Toverland and Efteling? because the...

I've been working on and off on a recreation of my home park Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the past few months. Some areas are better than others as I have found building this park far more challenging than I expected and out of the 3 British parks I have recreated in PlanCo this one has been the...

Walibi Holland has always held my attention from when the park was in it's Six Flags years. It felt like the excitement of American "thrill" parks where making it's way over to Europe and rides such Goliath seemed like world class experiences. While it might no longer have the Six Flags name or...

It was January 2020 when I had booked to go to the one park every enthusiast was migrating to. A 200ft+ RMC and an Intamin Hyper in a European park? too good to pass up and then that *thing* happened, time had passed and then in October the thing struck again. I thought to myself, third times...

Here I am, sat in Charleroi Airport. I've been waiting in the terminal for 90 minutes and still have another 2 hours to wait for my flight. Now that I have left the tyranny of retail I finally have a job with normal hours. A normal life for a not so normal bloke. With this I have been very...

After feeling a bit bored of building a scenic family park (Fantasipark) I wanted to get back to building more thrilling rides, not only that but I wanted to do something more generic and tacky that would be a "Thrill" based park. I was going to originally call it 'Thrillville" and base it off...

This is just a short post to say that I have completed and uploaded this park onto my steam workshop. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2658930941 Tivoli Beach is a seaside amusement park which is inspired by real life parks such as Gröna Lund, Tivoli Gardens, Liseberg and...

It's been over 4 years since I have been to our nations capital and in that time the world has changed; we've had two general elections, you can no longer get a last minute Christmas gift set at Debenhams and now you can literally get anything delivered to your home; none of these changes...

We've all heard bad songs right? songs that we instantly dislike as soon as they hit our ears. Now, we all have different tastes and subjective opinions on what makes for "good music", whether it be a genre thing or related to our age. However, every now and then comes a song that is so bad...

It seems as if companies such as B&M, Intamin, Vekoma and S&S have been around forever, it's hard to imagine what the industry would look like without them. I've decided to go back and discover what individual coaster put these companies on the map and why they still have influence in today's...

Update: I have now completed this park and I have uploaded it to the steam workshop, here is the link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656327336...

As you can imagine, like most people here on this site I was itching to get back to the parks. Despite my initial excitement after seeing pictures of the heaving crowds of last weekend, I became pessimistic about my chances of having a good day back to my home park. I got to the park and I was...

With the parks being closed during Lockdown 3 I decided to finally get round to making a recreation in Planet Coaster. In the days when RCT3 was king, I used to do almost nothing but real life parks, but for some reason or another I find them more difficult to do in planet coaster, whether it's...
