USA 2022 Day 1: Nickelodeon Universe (American Dream)

Hello hello hello, and welcome to my first-ever blog series! Over the next… wow this is going to take a lot of weeks… I’m going to be talking about the total madness that was my first USA road trip! With a total of twelve parks, somewhere around 3,500 miles and all too many Twizzlers along […]

Falling in Love With Phantasialand

I’m frankly at a loss for where I should start this blog post. How do I even begin to describe my first visit to Phantasialand? Magic. That’ll do. Pure magic, the sort that only a theme park created with such love and intricacy can provide. I’ve got a feeling that this may be a bit […]

Walibi Belgium: Far More Than Kondaa

Until Kondaa opened, if you’d asked me about Walibi Belgium I wouldn’t have been able to offer much beyond ‘it’s not the one with the RMC’. In fact, on arriving at the park the only info I really had about the park was scraped from a few vlogs I’d watched the days before (thank you […]

Tonnerre 2 Zeus and the Redemption of Parc Asterix

Okay, I know this is a very dramatic title, but hear me out. My first visit to Parc Asterix took place in September 2021 and it was, erm… not great. I am very much a park open – park close kinda girl, especially when it comes to a new park of this scale, but on […]

Riding to Happiness at Plopsaland de Panne

I’m not the sort of person who believes everything happens for a reason, but when it comes to Plopsaland de Panne things worked out just about right. Originally, I was set to visit this park for the first time way back in March of 2021 as part of a drive down to Disneyland Paris. At […]

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 […]

Five Ways Disneyland Resort Surprised Me

As a surprise to absolutely no one, I truly adored Disneyland Resort. Whilst we had a rocky first day, by lunchtime on day two I was totally enamoured with the original Magic Kingdom. But then I expected that. This is a resort I’ve watched countless videos about, read the books, and learned the history. I […]

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, […]

Knott’s Berry Farm

Back in February, the time finally came to visit my first regional park in the United States of America and what better place to start than ‘America’s First Theme Park’? There was a whole lot to love in this beautiful place, so let’s take a little tour around the park’s lands. First up… Ghost Town […]

Is Disneyland After Dark Worth It? Our Sweethearts Nite Experience

At $124 per person for a 4 hour event, Sweethearts Nite is by far the most expensive park event I’ve ever attended. Was it worth that heady price tag? Let’s start by looking at what the event included… Wait Times The majority of rides within Disneyland Park were open for Sweethearts Nite with Rise of […]
