Just under a week until I'm back at my favourite theme park in the world, Europa Park.
Can't wait to get back on the coasters and see everything new for 2026 - especially the Monaco suburbe. Excited to finally experience it.

Did you ever ride Terror Tomb before it became Tomb Blaster?
I'm pretty sure I could re-tell the story and whilst Tomb Blaster is fun it's got nothing on Terror Tomb in my opinion and I'd love to see Chessington bring it back. Would you?

As Chessington prepares to open Paw Patrol let's go back to 1995 when the park was home to 'Rodeo' a Huss Breakdance.
This ride started life in Circus World before moving to the Old West where it ran until 2004.

Remember Professor Burps Bubble Works? If, like me, you grew up with this ride then you can probably still smell it!
It's 10 years since Chessington re-themed this iconic ride and it's a shame this dark ride!

Remember Rameses Revenge at Chessington World of Adventures?
From 1995–2019, this Top Spin soaked riders in Forbidden Kingdom with fountains & towering Egyptian theming. One of the UK’s most striking flat rides.

Remember that time the elephant decided we needed a surprise shower mid-ride? 😂💦 Nothing like a splash from Chessington’s Mystic East to make your day unforgettable! Who else got soaked that day? 🙋♂️

A few mentions of Bedford from the Chancellor in that speech but nothing about Universal Studios UK
Back in November Thorpe Park submitted planning permission to redevelop Amity Beach into an entertainment area...this plan is yet to discussed by the council's planning committee so will it happen for this season? marks-parks.com/amity-beach-...
Badger and Holly riding The Runaway Train at Chessington
We should know if @cwoar.bsky.social get planning permission for the Scorpion Express/Runaway Train replacement at some point over the next few months which means now is a great time to reflect on when they let a Badger with a thing for mashed potato take a ride on it! #bodgerandbadger #nostalgia
The Ride to Happiness at Plopsa de Panne
Let's start on a controversial note...personally, I think The Ride to Happiness is overrated...here's why after 7 rides over 2 visits I just don't think it's a great ride marks-parks.com/will-drayton... #rollercoasters #themeparks
Now the website's got established I thought I'd join Bluesky! I'll be posting updates and rumours for UK and European parks and sharing longer posts from the website
