USA 2022 Day 3: Kings Dominion

Just an hour’s drive from Busch Gardens Williamsburg lay our first Cedar Fair park of the trip: Kings Dominion. Home to my second most-feared coaster (after Kingda Ka, of course) as well as a brand-new land, I couldn’t wait to see what the park had to offer. We arrived just in time for park opening […]

Wake the Tiger: The UK’s Answer to Meow Wolf?

Immersive attractions seem to be having a moment right now, with announcements popping up every few weeks for predominantly London-based experiences featuring IPs such as ‘Tomb Blaster’ and ‘Arkham Asylum’ and I am very much here for it. But, never did I dream that fifteen minutes from my home an original, eye-popping spectacle of a […]

USA 2022 Day 2: Busch Gardens Williamsburg

After a… less than ideal start to the trip at Nickelodeon Universe, it was a relief that the next day we visited what would become one of my favourite theme parks: Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It feels silly now, but this wasn’t originally on our itinerary. Infact, aside from it’s ‘most beautiful’ awards, this park wasn’t […]

USA 2022 Day 1: Nickelodeon Universe (American Dream)

Hello hello hello, and welcome to my first-ever blog series! Over the next… wow this is going to take a lot of weeks… I’m going to be talking about the total madness that was my first USA road trip! With a total of twelve parks, somewhere around 3,500 miles and all too many Twizzlers along […]

Falling in Love With Phantasialand

I’m frankly at a loss for where I should start this blog post. How do I even begin to describe my first visit to Phantasialand? Magic. That’ll do. Pure magic, the sort that only a theme park created with such love and intricacy can provide. I’ve got a feeling that this may be a bit […]

Mini Blog: Lightning Rod

Normally I’d leave this until my blog about the park as a whole, but I’ve had a few people ask for my thoughts about Lightning Rod (thank you!) so thought I’d get them out there! In short, Lightning Rod was a disappointment. This really hurts me to say. I stayed silent on my opinion all […]

What Am I Anticipating Most on My First USA Theme Park Road Trip?

Over the next 15 days, accompanied by some of my favourite fellow nerds, I’ll be visiting 13 different theme parks (as well as the 10th tallest pyramid in the world, we all know what I’m most excited for really). So I thought it would be fun to have a think about which rides and parks […]

Walibi Belgium: Far More Than Kondaa

Until Kondaa opened, if you’d asked me about Walibi Belgium I wouldn’t have been able to offer much beyond ‘it’s not the one with the RMC’. In fact, on arriving at the park the only info I really had about the park was scraped from a few vlogs I’d watched the days before (thank you […]

Tonnerre 2 Zeus and the Redemption of Parc Asterix

Okay, I know this is a very dramatic title, but hear me out. My first visit to Parc Asterix took place in September 2021 and it was, erm… not great. I am very much a park open – park close kinda girl, especially when it comes to a new park of this scale, but on […]

Riding to Happiness at Plopsaland de Panne

I’m not the sort of person who believes everything happens for a reason, but when it comes to Plopsaland de Panne things worked out just about right. Originally, I was set to visit this park for the first time way back in March of 2021 as part of a drive down to Disneyland Paris. At […]
