For me, I felt that overall this year wasn't quite as good as last year's show, however, that is purely personal preference and no reflection on the quality of the show provided by the Resort which was outstanding as always. I attended Saturday and Sunday and it did seem that Sunday was the better o...

Just when you thought Energylandia might slow down after the addition of Zadra this year(which I understand was originally due for 2020), it has been confirmed that the park will be opening a whole new area in 2020. The new area will be called "Aqualantis" and will include a shop and resta...

Amazing photos from a great day. They're bringing back so many good memories. Thanks hursty for another fantastic set of photos, and thank you to everyone who came and made it such a great day

Over the weekend, Loopings have reported that Plopsaland De Panne in Belgium are building an extreme Mack Spinning Coaster for 2021. Plans indicate that the project is codenamed 'Robospinner' and will be 26 metres tall. The coaster will feature two launches as part of a layout which appears to inclu...

ED92 has tweeted that "Cars Route 66" is to be the new name of "Studio Tram Tour". Currently due to open in "summer 2020", the re-themed attraction has the description: “Buckle up and join Cars stars Lightning McQueen and Mater for a fun filled family road trip where yo...

I know in the hotels I have checked in at around 10pm on one occasion. It may be worth contacting the Resort via direct message on either their Facebook or Twitter accounts to double check as with the reception for the Stargazing Pods being next to Tree Top Quest they may not staff it 24 hours like ...

Merlin have announced that they will be opening a new LEGOLAND Resort in Sichuan province in Western China. Merlin have entered into a partnership with entered into a partnership agreement with Global Zhongjun Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd (“Global Zhongjun”) to build and operate a LEGOLAND ...

This looks like another interesting addition for SeaWorld Orlando. My only slight concern would be with capacity given the design, but I'm not overly familiar with this coaster type so I could be wrong there. The park released a teaser video showing the new ride which Midway Mayhem has uploaded to Y...

Earlier this week, SeaWorld San Antonio announced that they are building a brand new wooden coaster, set to open in Spring 2020. Texas Stingray will feature a 100ft drop, 3, 379ft of track and travel at 55mph, making it the tallest, longest, and fastest wooden coaster in Texas. It looks like the rid...

Here is the official announcement video for Iron Gwazi from Busch Gardens Tampa: oXKlFmAtP1s In some ways I do kind of like that the name still incorporates the word "Gwazi" as a nod to its predecessor. However what I don't get is the use of the Crocodile theme as Gwazi is meant to be a le...

Welcome to the forum Maverick2007 :) If you're in the London area then the easiest parks to do would be Thorpe Park or Chessington World of Adventures. If it's thrills and coasters you want then Thorpe Park will be your best option. Make sure you check the opening hours though as like Alton Towers, ...

With the Six Flags 2020 additions due to be revealed tomorrow, it would seem that Six Flags Great Adventure's new ride has been leaked ahead of time. Unfortunately the original video has since been taken down, however for the brief period it was live it revealed that the New Jersey theme park will b...

I'm honestly not sure what to make of this. Whilst some of the rides look impressive in theory, I very much doubt if some of them are even physically possible to be built. I know I'm not the only one to have notied that parts of Falcon's Flight just are not possible as they appear to go against the ...

I have to agree with Justin in saying that I really can't see Lego being the theme of whatever is going into CCL. It simply wouldn't make any business sense for Merlin to put Lego into Alton Towers as if families can experience Lego at Alton Towers then they will be less likely to visit Legoland Win...

It would seem that the Resort have made improvements to their F&B quality recently if last weekend was anything to go by. I ate in The Secret Garden one evening and can honestly say it was probably the best meal I've ever had in there. I had the crispy beef and it was cooked perfectly, and taste...

This looks to be a good addition for Legoland provided it gets the go ahead. It'll provide a much needed refresh for an area that is looking very tired and needs some love. The LEGO Movie is huge, and will be for some time so it's a good choice to use for the area. The Flying Theatre will be another...

Warwick Castle have updated their website with the first details of this year's The Haunted Castle event. It would seem that Outbreak 1349, House of Wax, and Seance will not be returning this year which means the scare mazes look to be getting a bit of a shake up. As things stand, it appears there w...

Amazing photos from a great day. Some good memories! Thanks hursty

I do wonder if Merlin are trialing a few possible options with passes. Thorpe have been offering a season fastrack pass for £400 this year, and now Legoland are offering this £650 VIP membership. It makes me think that maybe Merlin are trying to see if there is an audience for either individual park...

I can't say I'm surprised to see this announced, but at the same time I'm also a little surprised that it is such a high price point. Yes, there is a fair amount included, but given that the recently withdrawn VIP Merlin Annual Pass cost £725 for an individual pass (£625 for a family), and included ...
