In an area called Tomorrowland at that! (Yes I understand that it is a stylised version of the future but come on). Whenever I've been on them waiting in line has given me a bad headache too with all the fumes.

I managed to to a quick pit stop at Legoland Windsor to ride Minifigure Speedway. They were both fine but they are what they are which is small boomerang coasters. The backwards parts on these always knocks me sick as well, it definitely had nothing to do with me having a small hangover or...

Great news but why on earth has it taken them so long to do this!!!!!

Poached very much implies that something untoward has happened and even if you don't think it has/does, why would a business that must (or certainly should) see social media as an integral part of their plans to not have a social media team up to speed in 4 months is pretty poor.

Its not really "poached" if they've been offered more money to work somewhere else (which I will presume is the case) and 4 months is plenty of time to replace them I would think.

So I managed to get over one of my spites as I finally got to ride the Ghost Train at Thorpe on Tuesday. It's an interesting experience, I wouldn't say it was bad but I also wouldn't say it was good. The actors though gave there all so fair play to them. Next week we're off to Skegness for...

Hopefully testing in the afternoon tomorrow as I have to travel down for work and was planning on popping in for an hour before close!

I've still not managed to go to Europa (bloody finances and children get me down) but I would still suggest that Europa has this and fairly easily. Disappointing for me given that AT is only 90mins away. My vote in this goes against my usual guide of only voting for things I've done but it has...

Is the Harry Potter IP restricted by the Warner Bros Studio thingy nearby?

I thought it looked quite fast to be honest

It looks...........

Brilliant, thanks everyone.

I know the Rollercoaster Restaurant isn't supposed to be great and is considered to be overpriced but my son really wants to go for his birthday in August (who am I to argue with a trip to a theme park) so I've been looking for the last couple of months and we cannot book past the end of May...
