@Serena and I recently spent a wonderful weekend at Heide Park in Germany. As usual, the topic of "what should this park get next?" arose in the car on the way back to the airport and we really struggled to think of a notable gap in their lineup. They have enough rides to cover something for...

Hi all, Magicland (formerly Rainbow Magicland) near Rome are apparently building a new coaster for next year. I heard Shaun mention it on his recent TPW video and RCDB also have a 2025 coaster in the "Under Construction" category on the Magicland page. https://rcdb.com/20137.htm I couldn't...

Hi All, Just asking anyone that has recently visited Plopsaland and bought tickets online. Have they sent you any promotional codes via email after your visit? Also, did you get an email after your visit asking how your day was? I'm just looking to see if I could be entitled to any...

With restrictions mostly eased off and confidence in traveling returning, it’s been a real pleasure to see a plethora of new trip reports amongst the CFers here. After sucking our local cred wells dry; most of us are hungry to experience new thrills or revisit old favorites that have been off...

Disclaimer: Apologies for the lack of photos and the rambl-y nature of this one. I was a bit pushed for time! Well, it’s been 3 months and the itch is beginning to grow; a summer return to the US is on the cards but a little adrenaline fuelled scratch is needed in the meantime. Ahh **** it, how...

Just seen this on LinkedIn. Does anyone have any idea about this coaster? I've not seen anything about it on here or RCDB but it looks like an Intamin coming to Paderborn, Germany!

Hi all! Recently I've been having a bit of a surge applying for jobs in the attractions industry (techy, sales stuff mostly) and I know there are a lot of people on here that already work within it themselves. Hopefully, this doesn't get shot down, but I'd assume that I'm not the only one on...

Boo! … (Spooky, am I right?) Ghost trains are somewhat of a staple at parks and whilst they might not always deliver on the scares, they’re usually always a welcome attraction at any park we visit. Like other dark rides, they provide a much needed escape from the chaos in motion that coasters...

So… which lacklustre UK park is this week’s TR from? Behind door number 1 we have the stunningly gorgeous, Alton Towers! You can tell she doesn’t quite put the effort in that she used too and can’t handle crowds to save her life, but she’ll give you some of the best rides in the country...

Well... *sigh* it had to be done eventually. Unless Lightwater Valley decides to reopen The Ultimate, to me Oakwood Theme Park is arguably the last park in the UK I needed to visit with intriguing coasters. I like a Eurofighter and a 'decent' woodie so a trip to Oakwood has been on the cards...

Allow me to set the stage. The year is 2021. International travel is still a massive challenge. Merlin parks are rammed, understaffed and there are reports of general discontent amongst both staff and guests. Paulton’s does little to get the blood flowing and Oakwood… the feedback has been...

Tradition. It’s a funny thing isn’t it? From portable flat rides at Alton Towers to cauliflower at Christmas; the line between what is and isn’t traditional exists in a weird space of subjective blurriness. As the coaster community is already very aware (Seeing loads of posts about it even on...

It might not be in the right topic for this thread, so feel free to move it if necessary. I seem to remember seeing "ice rooms" featured in some vlogs, but I can't remember for the life of me which parks they were in. Which parks do you know of that have ice rooms? And which is your favourite...

As enthusiasts, we can see where airtime should be. We look at those beautiful hills and hope for violent ejection or blissful floater, satisfying the negative G force addiction many of us have. Often these deliver exactly how we want but also similarly they have the ability to disappoint and be...

The Liseberg Confessional So this is report of my trip to Gothenburg at the weekend (yes I am still working on the Ghosterforce one, it’s just very big haha). There are some photos, but not many, so apologies for that too). Those of you that may remember my report from Liseberg earlier this...

After starting my coaster enthusiasm somewhat officially about a 18 months ago (where I started actually going on dedicated theme park trips abroad) I decided that Sweden was just something I had to do. After getting on Icon (and loving it); the idea of a souped-up Mack Launcher in the form of...

Hi guys, not totally sure if this is the right place to do this, but I believe I’ve found a new Alpine Coaster! I go skiing for a long weekend with the family one a year and this year we’ve decided to go to Les Marillons in the French Alpes for the second year in a row. One of the ski runs takes...
