The Rebirth of Nemesis: Nemesis Reborn Opening Day

I love a good opening day. I’ve been to a few now, and despite all of my worst fears, they’ve never been nearly as chaotic as I imagined. In fact, before March 16th 2024, I’d not actually been to an opening day where I’d ended up in an excessive queue line. But, of course, that […]

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 […]

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 […]

Disney Davy Crockett Ranch

Disney Davy Crockett Ranch is the cheapest of the official Disney accommodations available at Disneyland Paris. Located a short drive from the rest of the resort with no transportation provided, Davy Crockett also has the unique distinction of being the only resort where a car is required. For this reason, until recently, I still had […]

Platypuses and Pumpkins at Hallowed Peak – The Lunar Festival

Phantom Peak opened in London back in August 2022, which means I’ve been planning to visit this attraction for approximately 14 months. Finally, with the launch of Hallowed Peak: The Lunar Festival for this year’s Halloween season, I’ve made the trip out to the far western town of Phantom Peak, and I’m here to tell […]

Together on the Nautilus: A Disney Dash

When I planned a grand total of 34 hours in France, the mission was simple: renew my annual pass. This was all well and good until the week before I was set to depart, when the new Disneyland Pass was announced, the old passes withdrawn, and the renewal window halved to just one month meaning […]

The Magic of Tivoli Gardens

In the early 1950s, Walt Disney took a trip to Copenhagen. He was in the early planning stages of an amusement enterprise, and where better to gain inspiration than one of the oldest amusement parks in the world? Walt walked around Tivoli Gardens, making notes on the food, the gardens, the rides, and even the […]

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 […]
