Disneyland Paris Virtual Queue: How to Meet Characters

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

Which Disney Parks Attractions are Underrated?

We all love Disney’s signature rides, but which attractions at the Disney theme parks aren’t getting enough love? Here are mine!

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, […]

Staying at LEGOLAND’s Newest Accommodation: LEGOLAND Woodland Village

LEGOLAND Woodland Village is a new for 2024 resort at LEGOLAND Windsor. Similar in style to the Enchanted Village at Alton Towers Resort, Woodland Village features two accommodation options: a lodge or a barrel. The barrels form the ‘glamping’ portion of the resort, with shared bathroom facilities and a small sleeping area, whereas the lodges […]

Let’s Talk D23 2024

So, you know when I say ‘D23’ I mean specifically the Horizons parks panel, right? That’s what we’re all here for! After more than a few disappointing years of parks panels and a promise of solid announcements this time, there was more than a little hype in the lead up to this panel, so did […]

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 […]

All Aboard The Hype-ria Train!

There’s a new roller coaster at Thorpe Park. How bizarre it feels to finally say that! 12 long, long years after my beloved The Swarm debuted at my most-visited UK park, the skyline has not only changed, it has been rewritten. So, does the new coaster live up to the Hype-ria? I’ve actually waited a […]

Catching The Wave at Drayton Manor

Hands up if you thought putting a sit-down train on Shockwave was the worst idea you’d ever heard! Yeah, me too. Shockwave was not a long roller coaster. Its layout didn’t offer anything particularly unique. Its selling point was all in those trains, those stand-up trains. Whilst they may not have been comfortable, they were […]

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’ […]
