Blackpool Pleasure Beach – First day of the season
Last year, we officially started our season at Paultons Park, then Alton Towers, so for this year, we decided to try Blackpool Pleasure Beach. They’ve moved their opening day to line up with the other UK parks as they usually open up in February which meant deciding between Alton Towers or Pleasure Beach and since…
Wicker Man and the UK Woodies
There are plenty of rides in the UK offering new and exciting ways to thrill you. The smiler can send you upside down 14 times, Stealth can launch you to 80mph in 1.8 seconds and Odyssey can take you to heights no inverted coaster in the UK gets close to. However sometimes you have to…
2022 Season review
Though we haven’t had quite as many brand new attractions to ride this year, we’ve visited more parks and done more events than last year. As with last year, I thought it would be fun to look back at the 2022 season, rank the events and new attractions we rode this year and reflect on…
Icon, Enso and controversy
I feel like I’ve got a lot to talk about with regards to Icon and more with regards to Enso. Let me start by saying the ride is good. Great even, and certainly worthy of it’s current 7th place in my own personal rankings. The issue is that I feel like it should deliver more.…

For our holiday this year, we’ll once again be doing a UK road trip! This time however we won’t be visiting a single Merlin park, instead opting for a few new places! Even though we’re only going away for a week this time, we’ll be covering just as much distance as we did last year.…

Valhalla and Enso at Blackpool Pleasure Beach are probably the best that we have this year, with Valhalla being regularly rated as…
2021 Season Review
What a season this has been! Starting all the way back in April at Drayton Manor, and finishing at Alton Towers for their incredible fireworks! I thought for this blog I’d do a mock awards ceremony, giving me chance to talk about highlights of specific parks, rides and attractions, and to voice a few opinions…
Attraction soundtracks
One of the things I rarely ever hear anyone talk about are attraction soundtracks. The music that plays in the queue line, station building or themed area. Something that adds ambiance to an area, or builds up excitement for the ride you face! I don’t know why this is as there are some excellent scores…

Blackpool Pleasure Beach – First stop!
Continuing on from my previous blog, I said we’d started our road trip at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. We were there over two days, and we stopped at Seaforth Guesthouse, which is 10 minutes walk from the entrance. It was a lovely little place, just enough room for the two of us to get all our…
