USA 2022 Day 14: Six Flags Great Adventure

Well, we made it to day 14! The final full day of our USA trip, and the last one I’ll be writing about (unless anyone really wants to read about me lying in bed until midday, a broken mess, and sitting in JFK for 6 hours of course!) From Hersheypark, it was a mere two […]

USA 2022 Days 11 & 12: Cedar Point

I’ve been to Cedar Point. A sentence I never dreamed I’d be able to write, but here we are. I’ve actually visited America’s Roller Coast. And what a place it is. Way back in the year of our lord 2021 – a lifetime ago, or so it feels – my friend Bobby dropped a simple […]

USA 2022 Day 10: Kings Island

After a surprisingly early finish at Holiday World, we arrived at our – very conveniently straight across the road from Kings Island – motel early evening. Though we had no further park plans for this day, armed with Cedar Fair annual passes, a couple of hours park time, and an undying love for night rides, […]

My Top 10 Rollercoasters 2022

With 185 new rollercoasters ridden in 2022, what were my absolute favourites?

Avengers Campus (Walt Disney Studios Park)

Opening back in July of this year, Avengers Campus was the first major expansion to come to Disneyland Paris in, well, a very long time. I’ve been visiting Europe’s most-visited tourist attraction regularly for five years now, and finally, I got to experience a new ride! Having had the opportunity to visit its Californian cousin […]

Thorpe Park Carnival

The best event Thorpe have done, outside of halloween?

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 […]

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, […]
