Join me in my new blog post about the World of Jumanji, discussing whether I think it was a good investment, if it fits in with the park, and if it indicates a positive direction for Chessington going forward! Hope you enjoy if you have a read below! 👇🏻 benblogs6.wordpress.com/2025/05/08/i...

Is the World of Jumanji fit for purpose?
Chessington World of Adventures Resort. A park I adored visiting growing up, yet a park that now almost feels like it‘s losing its sense of identity. This statement might seem a little hyperbolic, …

Following the recent opening of Toxicator at Alton Towers, join me in my new blog post to review the 'new' attraction... and to also discuss some wider issues at the resort - is this the right fit for them? Hope you enjoy if you have a read below! 👇🏻 benblogs6.wordpress.com/2025/03/26/w...

Was Toxicator the right move for Alton Towers?
It’s finally that time of the year again… Theme Parks are back (which makes my job as a Theme Park blogger much easier)! A new season brings along with it new installations and changes to our belov…

My first article for @attractionsource.com has just gone live, covering the promising proposal from Paultons Park for their first on-site accommodation! A Holiday Village style resort seems perfect for this park in my opinion, and will inevitably look amazing! Do have a read below👇

New blog post is now live! It's time to, controversially, look into Rookburgh at Phantasialand and do a deep dive into my issues with it... Hope you enjoy it if you take the time to read! benblogs6.wordpress.com?p=551

My issue with Rookburgh at Phantasialand
When it comes to Phantasialand, I think it’s fair to say that the collective opinion is pretty unanimous: it’s gorgeous, with high-quality presentation being at the forefront of its design, some of…

So RIP to one of my favourite Theme Park events. It’s a shame to see the effects of the cuts currently ongoing within Merlin that’ll ultimately make the experiences at their parks much less interesting - entertainments really are key to a good time at a park!

One of my favourite park days last year was Alton Towers Oktoberfest. Being able to take a break from rides and chill on the lawns with brilliant live music and actors creating a really lovely atmosphere is exactly what parks need sometimes, & I’m absolutely gutted that’s gone :(

Ben @benb06.bsky.social · 08/02/2025
So so gutted that this is the way our parks are going 🥲 Some of my favourite moments of 2024 were heading to Thorpe or Towers during their events, specifically Towers Oktoberfest, and watching shows just to take a break from the rides and soak up the atmosphere! It makes such a difference

My first blog post of 2025 is now live! This one is all about what makes Voltron such a standout attraction to me, including my full in-depth review of it and the reasons why I rank this coaster so highly. Hope you enjoy if you take the time to read it! benblogs6.wordpress.com?p=468

Why Voltron is a must-do attraction
Europa-Park is a resort that’s always interested me and been in the back of my mind. It looked stunning to say the least, and it’s one of the parks I first looked into when I became an …

Ben @benb06.bsky.social · 07/01/2025
The best 4 days at Europa-Park have come and gone 🥲 Never been so sad leaving a Theme Park before which I think says a lot about how much I adored my time here. I’ve left with a new Number 1 Coaster and plenty of memories made with the best company 🥰

been playing a lot of planet coaster 2 since i got it yesterday and, as much as the bugs are quite annoying, it’s really fun! the new coaster builder is sooo good and making smooth coasters has honestly never been easier which definitely improves the overall experience a lot

I’ll never forget the 2p arcade machines in the indoor section of the park though…

I don’t know, everything about it feels like Stealth on a lower tier. Like sure it’s taller and faster but the launch really feels like *nothing* until the last second when you get a slight kick due to the sense of speed, & then the tophat just felt tame. Cool views, but overall not a great coaster

Ben @benb06.bsky.social · 14/11/2024
Fair enough! The coaster itself is really fun and full of some cool tricks that I wasn’t expecting as I went in spoiler-free but I can’t quite look past the lack of theming during the ride experience unfortunately 😅 There’s so much potential, and I wish they tapped into that more!

Can’t believe I’ve technically now ridden the tallest and fastest coaster in the world… shame it’s shite 👀

Ben @benb06.bsky.social · 14/11/2024
Yeah was thinking the same, could definitely see some sort of transformation to Kingda Ka happening instead of a complete removal. Especially since there’s demolition permits for Green Lantern etc. but not Kingda Ka 🤔

Sounds about right 😭 Those Gravity Group trains seem to run really odd on the rails, felt the same about Zeus at Parc Asterix

Ben @benb06.bsky.social · 14/11/2024
That does sound awful 😬 If if’s anything like Stampida at Port Aventura then I’d probably hate it - that’s one of the only coasters I’ve done where I was wishing for it to be over asap because it was so rough

only other one i’ve done is infusion tbf which i don’t think is that bad at all - odyssey was just so painful 😭
