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!

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 :(

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

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