My First Ever Visit to Tulleys Shocktober Fest
Last Friday, I added to my spooky Halloween visits with a trip to Tulleys Shocktober Fest, which was surprisingly my first ever visit to this event! I know, I know.. why have I never attended before I hear you say?! Well, I’ve only lived in London for 2 years, and before that, I spent the majority of Halloween in the North West, where there has always been a great selection of scare events, so I’ve always stuck around the same places! It also doesn’t help that last year was a bit hit and miss with…
My Thoughts on Gangsta Granny at Alton Towers!
So last Saturday I visited Alton Towers to finally ride the brand new dark ride, Gangsta Granny! “The World of David Walliams” is the name of the new area, and Gansta Granny is the Headline attraction! The story is based on guests embarking on a crown jewels tour which is then sabotaged by Ben and Granny who persuade the guests to join them on a heist of a lifetime to steal the crown jewels! As you walk into the new area, the archway is pretty cool and colourful which is really inviting. You are then…
Tornado Springs – My New Happy Place
It goes without saying that Paultons Park is definitely one of the main talking points for UK theme park enthusiasts right now! The new area, Tornado Springs, is a creative imagining of a Midwest desert resort town set in the American heyday of the 1950’s. So.. Where do I start without getting lost in the moment and writing a 10 page essay of why everyone must visit this park right now?! My expectations of Tornado Springs were already relatively high and I think that was down to how much of the development had already been…
July The 4th ~ Theme Park & Amusement Park Independence Day!
Saturday the 4th of July ~ Independence day in England for Theme Parks, Amusement Parks and rides! Conveniently, my week off started from the 4th of July.. though, it came at a cost of another cancelled trip, as I was actually supposed to be in Austria and Poland this week 😭 Most enthusiasts booked themselves into Thorpe, Towers and Blackpool Pleasure Beach for Beach first day… Me? I decided to drive over 4 hours to Ocean Beach in South Shields to ride a HUSS Break Dance which was making its debut at the park! I’ve…
My Trip To Scarborough And Bridlington!
Soo.. I had a bit of a random day out on Sunday the 5th of July! Its was day 2 of my super UK roadtrip and I wanted to fit in as much as possible.. and, if you’ve followed me long enough on my social media pages, you will know that anything is possible! It started with a trip to the North Bay Heritage Railway, which is a cute miniature railway that runs up a small section of the bay in Scarborough, so you get beautiful views of the sea front. It’s such a pretty…
My Visit To Legoland Windsor, March 2020!
So Monday the 16th of March was my last visit to a Theme Park before everything closed down! This was also the day I was told that I would be Furloughed until further notice as my shop wouldn’t be reopening with the current pandemic! Who knew I’d be still sat on my sofa come Monday the 18th of May with no insight of when I’ll be back at work! Prior to Legoland, I’d only been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach in the UK this year as park season hadn’t fully started so a lot of parks…
My Return Visit to Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the Wow Weekends!
Soooo… Sunday took me to Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the WOW Weekends ✌ I’ve been attending the Wow weekends for years and years, it’s basically cheaper entry over the winter weekends before the main season starts in March, but not everything will be open and not everything will be running to full capacity as the footfall is lower, but it’s a great way to fulfill my needs of a park visit when most other places are still shut 😭 And who actually remembers when the WOW weekends were like £10 😍😍 it was always a…
Frontierland, The Park Of My Childhood!
Frontierland, if you didn’t already know, is what kicked off this hobby for me! Having a theme park on my doorstep that I could visit every weekend was like a dream come true! Frontierland, was a cute little Wild West themed park in the little seaside town of Morecambe. It was owned by the Thompson family who also own Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and at the time they also owned Southport Pleasureland! It wasn’t always a wild west theme, it was renamed and rethemed to Frontierland in 1987, and prior to that it was called Morecambe…
