    New Coaster at Pleasurewood Hills?

    Pleasurewood Hills just posted this Tweet saying: So a new coaster on the way? I'd assume it'll just be a kiddie coaster, but that's not going to stop me hoping for something spectacular for my local park!

    Your favourite (and most hated) Theme Park Hotels/Accomodation

    My wife and I tend to stay on-site whenever we can at theme parks, partly because of the travel convenience (so nice waking up and walking to the turnstiles or collapsing back into bed after a day in the park) but also because it's all a part of the experience. In the places we've been to...

    Christmas in Orlando

    Not going to do a full report as we were there for 7 days. But thought I'd share some of the interesting bits about being in Orlando over Christmas. 1. Rise of the Resistance was insane, easily my favourite dark ride now and I think it sets a new bar for how dark rides will be judged. We got to...

    Is inverted air time possible?

    So on Zadra there's that beautiful hangtime element under the lift hill, what happens if they put an air-time hill style piece of track on the upside down bit? Would you get ejector hangtime? Has it been done? Edit: Added Planet Coaster pictures to show what I mean:

    Magnets

    So when my wife and I go down to theme parks, we try to pick up a magnet from every one we've visited so far (pic attached) anyone found any spectacular ones? Were still very annoyed we couldn't find any from the six flags parks, kolmarden or universal orlando. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    Cedar Point May 2019

    So this was our first trip to Cedar Point, had been wanting to go for a long time but it's not the easiest place to get to from the UK! We ended up settling on going for Memorial Day weekend, flying direct from Heathrow to Detroit, then renting a car and driving to CP, staying at Hotel Breakers...

    Cedar Point in a Storm

    So we've finally made plans to get to Cedar Point this weekend (from the UK so this might be a once in a lifetime thing), and now on top of being Memorial Day weekend, it's looking like the Sunday is going be full of thunderstorms. Our only full days there will be the Sunday and Monday, so we're...

    Six Flags Great Adventure Trip May 2018

    This is my first trip report here so apologies for the format and lack of pictures. It was so rainy most of the day I didn't really want to be standing about with my phone out! So last weekend me and my wife finally made the trip over to Six Flags Great Adventure. We'd been to Magic Mountain...
