Disneyland Paris Virtual Queue: How to Meet Characters

How to make sure you manage to meet characters at Disneyland Paris.

You Need to Visit Nigloland

At this point, it should be fairly apparent that one of my greatest joys in life is a good theme park. But more than that, I love a good weird theme park. Over the past few years I’ve been trying my best to get the big guns of Europe ticked off. Europa Park, Phantasialand, Efteling, […]

Escaping Gotham City at Parque Warner Madrid

It feels a lifetime ago now since I was in sunny Spain, perhaps mostly due to the decided lack of any sunshine as I write this. In July. In the UK. I’ve already covered all of my thoughts on the miraculous PortAventura and its not-so-grand neighbour, but those parks weren’t even the reason for the […]

The Case Against Second Gates: Ferrari Land

What exactly is it that makes a theme park a theme park? Themed experiences, attractions… rides? It’s rides mostly, right? Sure, theme parks exist without them, most notably Puy du Fou who excel predominantly in shows, but even Ghibli Park in Japan is adding rides. So, how many rides do you need for a theme […]

PortAventura: Cheap and Oh So Cheerful

PortAventura has been on my to-do list for right about forever. I can still remember my envy of the kids down the road who had been to ‘Woody Woodpecker Land’ as they called it. As 2020 rolled around, it finally seemed as though I’d be meeting the main Woodpecker himself. Scoring an incredible ‘hotel roulette’ […]

Disney Hotel Cheyenne: The Best Place to Stay at Disneyland Paris?

If you asked me which Disneyland Paris resort had the best theming, I might just say Cheyenne. Sure, other resorts may feel more real or grand, but Cheyenne? It’s just so much fun! (I say all this as an unashamed fan of the brash over-the-top theming at Disney’s All Star and Art of Animation resorts.) […]

Not Everything About Europa-Park Is Great

So, before we get into this, I want to make it clear that I am absolutely not here to be a hater. I love theme parks, love them. I promise I could have found a better way to spend 67 of my days last year if I didn’t. This means it’s even more bizarre and […]

Parc Saint Paul

Located an hour north of Parc Astérix, Parc Saint Paul has become a popular stop-off for enthusiasts, making the obligatory Toutatis pilgrimage. This is a small park aimed at families, with a large variety of rides for smaller guests, as well as many, many play areas. With the gate price a very reasonable €28, we […]

A Phantom of the Opera VR Experience?

(Or: The Phantom of the Opera is here, inside my eyes) Well, it’s time for another short post I absolutely did not plan to write, but I just couldn’t resist talking a little about my experience with YULLBE Go at Europa Park! I apologise in advance for the lack of photos here, as my phone […]

Beautifully Unhinged: Halloween at Bellewaerde

With just four rollercoasters, only one of which manages to achieve ‘Extreme’ status on RCDB, Bellewaerde might not be a park to catch the eye of coaster enthusiasts. Located in Ypres, Belgium, just under a two-hour drive from the Eurotunnel, there are certainly better options nearby if thrilling rollercoasters are your main draw to a […]
