    The North America biggie - 3rd July - 18th July

    So now that my big North America park trip with @Climb is over, I thought I’d write up a fairly brief trip report of the parks and notable creds. I know these are all parks that have been posted a lot - but these were entirely first visits for the both of us so hopefully may still be...

    Parque de Atracciones de Madrid - 22/0-7/2022

    A quick trip report from a recent visit to Madrid's oldest theme park. My genius idea was to walk to the park in time for opening at 12, however it took more than 1 hr 30 from the city centre, and is quite remote too being situated in a national park type surrounding - not the best of walks on...

    Here's a quick one to provide some updates and personal thoughts about BPB. I first visited 15 months back, so this is a bit of a revisit report with @Climb - two full days on park and new creds ridden. New tickets The ticketing system now relies on your mobile phone rather than old-school...

    My 100th cred in 'Great' Yarmouth

    A quick one - a visit to Great Yarmouth and six creds ticked off. Including my 100th! I've been on this forum 11 or 12 years so at this rate I'll hit my 200th in 2032. Back in February I visited Blackpool's Pleasure Beach and just missed my 100th due to the Big One's closure because of high...

    Energylandia ft Zadra + bonus mystery coaster - Thursday 28th August 2019

    Hi everyone. So it's time for my third trip report in 11 or 12 years on here. I've got time so here you go.

    15th - 19th April - Efteling/ Toverland/ Efteling TR

    Aged 26, I finally managed to plan and execute a proper theme park trip. My tour started in The Netherlands and finished with Germany, running from Efteling to Toverland and to Phantasialand. It’s a pretty well-documented route but I’ll add my two cents for you to enjoy/ ignore as you wish. I...

    The Ultimate decapitates deer 29th September 2014

    So according to the ever-reliable Daily Mail a deer managed to navigate around the perimeter fence that surrounds The Ultimate and was hit by one of the trains. To be honest it could have ended up much worse for the passengers as the deer was only young and not a full-sized adult. My favourite...

    New 40m high rollercoaster in Brazil - 'La Inversa'

    Hi all Just seen this on the ACE South America Facebook page and thought it was worth a share. There's a new rollercoaster that has just been finished in Brazil's Fazenda Dos Acqua Lokos water park and stands at over 40 metres in height (and looks shockingly unsafe) The reason that it has only...

    Parc Asterix 2012

    Hi all, I have arrived back home from a trip to Paris and I thought I would write a bit about my visit to Parc Asterix. As it was my first time, I do not have much to compare it with in terms of changes but I would say that the entrance area and first part of the park looked very much like a...

    There may have been a few of these already but I couldn't find one so... Are there any obscure/ hard to find POV videos that people have found recently or that are difficult to find? I recently found this crazy powered coaster: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x28rnv ... aul_people (Parc...
