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, …

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…

There’s something new in the valley!⚠️ One of two toxicator posters to come! After completing a bunch of long term projects, you’ll be seeing a lot more of these in then future! 🦀

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 :(

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 …

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 🥰

"From The Party" merch collection is out now 🥳 mikefromtheparty.com

a very successful closing weekend ❤️

How has it been 6 months since Hyperia opened already?? 🤯

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 think it might finally be happening…

bluesky like out of the woods? officially moving to this app guys sorry not sorry

Bluesky@bsky.app · 2y ago

are we out of the woods yet? are we in the clear yet? if Bluesky is a lil slow for you, hang tight! there were some networking issues on the U.S. east coast affecting Bluesky and other apps, but looks like they're resolving now. 💙

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

so thoosie rotted that the symbol for Omega was used in a statistics lecture and I thought to myself “omg voltron nevera powered by rimac”

favourite new creds of 2024 😎🎢

This absolute monstrosity 🤢

What’s everyone’s least favourite coaster?

Reintroduction thread: Name: Ben Pronouns: He/Him Location: Kent when at home, York when at Uni Interests: Theme Parks, music, cats, theatre, attractions, maths, games, seeing my friends, etc. Vocation: Student and occasional blogger (😅)

very excited for the wicked movie and everything looks promising so far but I am just hoping they don’t fuck it up 😭 will be great to see it regardless though!

My theme park favourites etc: Park - Phantasialand Coaster - Ride to Happiness (basically every UK enthusiast) Dark ride - Hex (I’ve not done many) Season - Halloween 🎃 Bucket list park - Europa Park Last Park visited - Thorpe Park Last coaster ridden - Hyperia Coaster count - 117

Hey fellow theme park fans! Park - Efteling or DLP (I'm going through some stuff right now 😅) Coaster - Taron Dark ride - Pirates of the Carribean (Paris) Season - Spooky Bucket list park - Tokyo DisneySea Last Park visited - Alton Towers Last coaster ridden - Nemesis Reborn Coaster count - 518

nice to see so many other UK enthusiasts joining this app :)

this app immediately feels so much nicer to use - there’s no ads every 5 seconds, no being fed things that I don’t want to see, and no weird rules about seeing who’s liked things and blocked accounts etc. It’s very refreshing!

so theme parks are pretty great

figured I’d join the hype and make an account on here as well…
