It’s been a while since I’ve done a trip report (or much at all) on here, but at the moment I’m feeling extremely enthusiastic about all things park-related so I thought I might get down to one of these reports as it’s a pretty exciting trip. Haven’t done the southern-east part of the US yet...

I'm not going to do a massively detailed report about absolutely everything I did at these parks/fairs as I don't think I'll have time, but instead I thought I would focus my report around doing a review of Kärnan and then just touch on my thoughts of other main rides. Hamburg Sommerdom...

Over the past 20 years, Europe has built up a rather solid collection of more modern wooden coasters and with the confirmation of at least three coming next year (providing Wildfire doesn't have any more 'bumps in the road'), I thought it would be interesting to see which one is currently the CF...

We've had flights booked to Helsinki since August/September time last year, as me and my parents were pretty sure we wanted to do a Finland trip this year. None of us have ever been before, so we were excited about the trip and intrigued as to what Finland was going to be like. I was obviously...

I'm going to be going to Six Flags Over Texas and Fiesta Texas this October; this is obviously fantastic. The only annoying thing is (for me), that this will be obviously be during their Fright Fest event. I don't like Halloween as I'm not into any of the spooky **** that it involves, but...

On the 24th of May, Plohn opened a new, enclosed Mack Powered coaster called Miniwah. The theming looks very well done and should make an otherwise dull coaster considerably more interesting. Good year for the Leipzig parks :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnMapG5pCII

This is one of the park's in Europe I've wanted to do for quite some time, so I was very happy when we decided that Vienna was going to be one of our short breaks this year. Now just to make it clear, this park certainly has not been on my wish list from the perspective of coaster enthusiasm...

So for our first trip avec theme parks of the year, we are currently spending a week in Paris. At the moment were are in Roissy, just outside CDG airport for Parc Asterix and Disney, before we will eventually move onto the city for the culture stuff. So yesterday we made our way to Parc...

… go to theme parks!!! So my and I family have just arrived two nights ago, from a 5 night holiday in Rome. Last Sunday we visited the two Roman theme parks, Rainbow Magicland and the new Cinecitta World on the same day. All in all, it was an absolutely fantastic day and I actually think doing...

It's now law in my family, that we must have some sort of European driving holiday in the Summer, which obviously I've got no problem as it means MORE PARKS!!! :--D . It was only a 10 day trip, but a really fab one. Each park we went to had a new gem of a ride, be it at one the 'new to me'...

Me and my parents are probably going to go to Thorpe Park one of the last two Fridays of summer nights, so I was wondering: 1. Are they're any other rides open for the summer nights period of the day apart from the 6 main coasters that Thorpe's website advertises? 2. What are the queues like...

My family and I have been planning to do this trip for over 2 years, ever since my real enthusiasm for coasters set in. I picked the most renowned parks on this side of the US to visit to fulfil a dream holiday that may even surpass our trips to Florida a couple of years ago. First we flew...

In just over a weeks time, my family will be at busch gardens Williamsburg and if it's very busy than we'll probably get the quick queue. However, I have heard before that they only give you a choice of certain rows on the coasters. If this is still the case does anyone know what rows they let...

On cedar fair park websites it says that fast lane PLUS is very limited in the amount they sell each day. I know you probably won't know an exact number, but does that mean they only sell like 10 per day, or do they just mean there aren't an infinite number of them. I'm wondering this because...

I often find myself wondering ' what is this coaster like?' Mainly because I don't hear much about it either because it is new or maybe is overshadowed by another coaster at the park. The purpose of this topic is for people to ask about specific coasters and others who have ridden it can give...

Sorry if there is a topic very similar, but i do not think there is. What coaster types/models that you haven't ridden, do you most want to ride. In no particular order mine are: A Giga Coaster A Strata coaster An Intamin Impulse Coaster A Big Gravity Group Coaster A Maurer Sohne Launch...

Has anyone got a chance to ride this yet. I know the ride used to be pretty brutal, but i just watched a TPR POV of the ride where they should some people riding and it looked pretty nasty. Can anyone confirm whether this is true, or does it look worse than it actually is.

As a rather long Summer Holiday (3 & half weeks) me and my family decided to do a road trip, that led us all the way to Denmark, then all the way back down to the French Alps (I'll explain why later), before making our way back home. Visiting lots of new parks and a couple of old ones. The parks...

Don't worry, this isn't one of those topics that ask 'what's your favourite coaster?' when most of the time you can just look at the persons profile to find that out. I am more interested to find out what was the first coaster you rode, where you thought 'that was my favourite coaster' and how...

Do you think that because water coasters have coaster sections, that it automatically makes them better than just normal water rides? I do not think so purely because non of my top 10 water rides have coaster sections (unless you count menhir express and ripsaw falls as coasters :) ). Some can...
