    Has a coaster ever had to be rebuilt because of a hurricane?

    Disney or Universal?

    Hi guys. Sorry if there's already a thread like this, but I'd be interested to know where you guys' preferences lie with regards to arguably the two most major theme park operators in the world; Disney and Universal. I know of many who prefer Disney because of the magic that their parks...

    As I've failed spectacularly at my primary new years resolution to eat more veg, I'm going to take a stab at my second resolution: write more trip reports. So here is a tale from a few months back, where I went to an exotic land to get some of the worlds most elusive creds...You probably...
