Intro: Mack Produkt As the old adage goes: “if I had a nickel for every time that an Austrian amusement park decided to open a Mack Big Dipper in 2025, I would only have two nickels, but it’s weird that it happened twice”. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Austria once before in the past...

Intro: 19 hours in Doha This little layover was done enroute home from my recent jaunt through South Korea. You can read about my experiences out there in the dedicated thread. I will confess that the Gulf states’ iconic cities have never really appealed to me as holiday destinations. When I...

Intro: Together Again Regular readers of my trip reports are probably aware that I’ve become rather a fan of the East Asian theme park scene lately, despite its many idiosyncrasies. After ticking off most of the top Japanese creds in 2023 and visiting China twice in 2024, I felt it was time to...

Intro: OK, But This Is The Last Time The story of this trip begins in August 2024, during my heady period of freedom between finishing my degree and starting full time work. In advance of my first ever trip to China the following month, I had come into Manchester to collect my passport from the...

Intro: A Family Affair My Japan 2023 trip had been a blast – I’d seen some amazing sights, had plenty of fantastic food, and ridden some great coasters. At the start of the year, I knew I would have some time off between finishing my degree and starting full-time work in the Autumn, so doing...

Intro: The Siren Song of the Eurostar Sale I’m almost as much of a sucker for a good deal as I am a good theme park. For this reason, when I saw I could get a one-way Eurostar ticket from Brussels to London for a mere £35, the cogs in my brain began to turn. I’ve long considered a trip to the...

As much as I love to be off in a foreign country visiting new and exciting parks, financial experts have unfortunately informed me that "you can't just keep spending all of your money on flights and hotels". So, inevitably, I have to look for a theme park fix closer to home. This thread will be...

Intro: A Lot Can Happen In 5 Years My last visit to Thorpe Park was in 2019 – needless to say, between a worldwide pandemic, a complete rebrand and a major coaster, a lot has changed since. Whilst I‘ve made some great memories there and think it’s now probably got the UK’s overall best coaster...

Intro: A Questionable Itinerary Let's get the obvious thing out of the way - yes, Tusenfryd and Emerald Park make no geographic sense as a combined trip. But if the vikings can travel from Norway (ish) to Ireland, then dammit, I can too. Back in January, me and some of my friends from...

Intro Picture the scene: it's late March and you're a stressed engineering student deep in the throes of revision. You just found out that Hyperia at Thorpe Park, who's opening was one of your potential theme park highlights of the year, will now be delayed until dangerously close to the start...

Intro One of my friends from university running the Paris marathon provided the ideal excuse for a group holiday. Being the shameless cred whore that I am, I added in a few diversions in search of new coasters to add to the count. My story begins in Beauvais – cheap flights from Manchester...

Intro It's been a while since I travelled beyond Europe. After spending most of my Summer working in Oxford, I knew I'd have the some spare funds and the desire to do something unforgettable with them. Whenever I was off the clock, I was planning. This lead to a couple of small scale trips...

Intro In July 2022, I visited Turkey with family - it was my first international trip for a long time, and I had a great time visiting Istanbul, Cappadocia and Antalya. Despite not primarily being a theme park excursion, of course I managed to squeeze a few visits in! I'm mainly writing this...

Fireworks review I began my day in Forbidden Valley on Air. I was lucky enough to get in a front and back row ride within roughly half an hour, so I was quite pleased. The shop was shut off, so there were no onride photos, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I didn't have my final flight until...

Rattler is a twisty GCI woodie that has 3 tunnels and 4 airtime moments. It is now available for download! I may consider putting more coaster's in this same map if Rattler is well received, who knows! You can view Rattler on Nolimits Exchange here.
