Efteling: My New Favourite Theme Park?

There aren’t many theme parks in Europe more deserving of ‘absolute bucket list park’ status than Efteling. A sprawling wonderland of rides, walk-throughs and shows lined with ridiculously (wonderously) themed bins, ATM’s, vending machines… well, everything really. You name it, Efteling has themed it. Visiting Efteling was a dream of mine for a very long […]

Jardin d’Acclimatation

In five years of regular visits to the French capital, I’d still not gotten around to visiting this small park in the centre of Paris. But this April, the time finally came to put that right. I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this park given that it’s not really somewhere I’ve heard […]

My Top 5 Kiddie Coasters

Whilst these coasters may be designed to accommodate the smallest of riders, that doesn’t mean they can’t be a blast for seasoned guests too! If you’re an enthusiast like me, there’s a pretty high likelihood that your passion for rollercoasters began with rides designed for a family audience. For some, that will be where their […]

Celebrating 30 Years of Disneyland Paris

After falling head over heels in love with Disneyland Paris in late 2017 – a whisker too late to attend the 25th celebrations – I promised myself I’d be there in person for the next major milestone. Thankfully after a few years of uncertainty, the stars aligned and I was indeed able to attend and […]

Les Quais de Lutèce

Sorry Disney’s Sequoia Lodge, you’re not my favourite hotel stay ever anymore. Until a few years ago, Parc Asterix was never really on my radar. A park themed to some comics I read as a kid but had completely forgotten? Eh, I could take it or leave it. But as I got more invested in […]

Five Ways Disneyland Resort Surprised Me

As a surprise to absolutely no one, I truly adored Disneyland Resort. Whilst we had a rocky first day, by lunchtime on day two I was totally enamoured with the original Magic Kingdom. But then I expected that. This is a resort I’ve watched countless videos about, read the books, and learned the history. I […]

Riding Some of the World’s Scariest Rides at The Strat

At 1,149ft, the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas is the USA’s tallest freestanding observation tower. Of course, far more important to me – and probably to you if you’re reading a small themed entertainment blog – is that it also offers some of the country’s most unique thrill rides. With a visit to Vegas planned, […]

Knott’s Berry Farm

Back in February, the time finally came to visit my first regional park in the United States of America and what better place to start than ‘America’s First Theme Park’? There was a whole lot to love in this beautiful place, so let’s take a little tour around the park’s lands. First up… Ghost Town […]

Is Disneyland After Dark Worth It? Our Sweethearts Nite Experience

At $124 per person for a 4 hour event, Sweethearts Nite is by far the most expensive park event I’ve ever attended. Was it worth that heady price tag? Let’s start by looking at what the event included… Wait Times The majority of rides within Disneyland Park were open for Sweethearts Nite with Rise of […]

Meow Wolf: Omega Mart

As you may have guessed, I love me some themed entertainment. If I had my way, I’d be happily making my way around the world checking out every themed offering available. Alas, whilst I’m doing my best to do just this there will always be countless attractions escaping my grasp. Meow Wolf was firmly in […]
