WEB Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure

WEB SLINGERS is the newest ride at Disneyland Resort, having opened in Disney’s California Adventure back in 2021. Later this year, a clone of this ride will also debut at my beloved home resort, Disneyland Paris making this one of the attractions I was most keen to experience in California – it’s basically a sneak […]

Universal Studios Hollywood

I was not expecting to be able to visit Universal Studios Hollywood on this trip, or any other this year, but in a lovely surprise we managed to wrap up everything else we wanted to do in LA early leaving enough time to visit the original studio theme park! I’ve never really known what to […]

A Quick Dash into Adventuredome

I’M IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Dear lord, I cannot stress enough how magical it feels to be back over the Atlantic in the land of peanut butter M&Ms and Baja Blast. And what a place to start this trip. Las Vegas, the city that’s practically a theme park in itself. So far I’ve […]

Ranking the Theme Parks I’ve Visited

As of January 2022, I have visited a grand total of 33 theme parks. Pretty entry-level numbers for a theme park enthusiast I know, but with what I really truly hope will be a year packed full of new parks and experiences I thought now would be a good time to take stock and think […]

Walking a Skunk at Chessington World of Adventures

Earlier this year, I was scrolling away through twitter (as I do far too often) when some photos of a giraffe being fed by hand appeared. These were from a VIP experience at CWOA, a theme park I’ve rapidly fallen in love with other the past year-and-a-bit. Flicking through their website, I scanned through all […]

My Top 5 Theme Park Experiences of 2021

2021 is so very nearly over and whilst there’s been a lot of awful things happen this year (we don’t mention the months January – March ok), for me and the rest of the UK theme park community there has also been so much to celebrate! Rather than do a complete run-down of everything I […]

Is Winters Tail Worth It Without Kids?

Given that I absolutely adore both Chessington World of Adventures and Christmas events it was inevitable that at some point I’d end up visiting Winter’s Tail. However, I’ve been putting it off for a while now. With a very limited ride line-up (just 10, including a play area), entertainment (rightly) aimed at children and a […]

Turning 28 at Paulton’s Celebration of Christmas

When I was a kid, the one thing I really wanted to do to celebrate my birthday was visit a theme park (in a surprise to no one). Sadly though, my birthday is mid-December and living in the UK that made my wish a non-starter. Of course, one of the greatest things about being an […]

The Incredible Entertainment of Disneyland Paris

Within the theme park community, there are many types of fan. Some enthusiasts care solely about the rides, some just soak up the atmosphere and then there are those that just live for everything from food to fireworks. I fall very firmly in to the last category, but I’ve always had an extra affinity for […]

Winter Wonderland 2021

Last Sunday, on a bright and chilly (read: 1°C) morning, I finally experienced Hyde Park Winter Wonderland for the first time! After 14 years of bringing festive fun and thrills to Central London, I was definitely overdue a visit. The event offered a brilliant +9 for the coaster count as well as family rides, dark […]
