2012 is regularly cited as a dud year when it came to UK Theme Park attendance. The 2012 Olympics, hosted in London, coupled with the 2nd highest yearly rainfall have regularly been cited as reasons for the poor reception of The Swarm at Thorpe Park. The major Merlin parks (excluding Legoland...
We've all been to them, really well rounded parks that have nailed all of the supporting attraction, have good theming, pleasant guest experience but lack the killer roller coaster headliners. A few off the top of my head below.
Isla Magica, - I'll start by saying I've not been but this place...
This rumour should be taken with a large pinch of salt as I dont have anything other than word to back it up but I have reason to believe that the Harry Potter Studio Tour is looking to expand its offering by incorporating rides and / or a themepark section in the near future. Apparently there...
This links to question I often think about, in what area do you feel the most immersed?
There are alot of areas which I love, Amity @ Thorpe. Forbidden Valley @ Alton but weirdly this little spot here always satisfies me the most;
I think its the interaction with Vampire, the themed...
So this post is kinda inspired by someone on reddit who posted about the water ride in the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston TX, see below link...
So it turns out theres a pretty cool looking ride that I had no idea existed, I love stuff like this, be it a themed area or random ride where you'd...
Finland 24th – 26th July 2020
I’d love to start the topic with a witty prologue discussing Finland and all its famous for, but I cant. Flat pack furniture? No, that’s its blonder, better looking, neighbour. Abba? No, that’s also its neighbour. I’ve scraped the barrel and all I can find is that...
Not seen this anywhere, but looks like Israel is planning a big destination park,
Plaim Park (or Park of Wonders) is planned for Dimona, a southern town in the Negev desert. Initially, the park will cover 25 hectares featuring 16 major rides across five “worlds” – Oasis, World of Spirits...
So i thought i'd get a little thread going with all the debatable creds you've seen, ridden or heard about...
First up we've got this!
I dont think this is a cred personally but realistically if it isn't, then what is it?!
No need to comment just select the party that you have voted for! If you arent eligible to vote then just select who you would have :)
I'll post my vote when a few people have already completed the poll.
What rides out there have been spoiled by these cheeky buggers preventing what would be some awesome airtime or luscious laterals?
Obvious answer from me is Thirteen at Alton Towers, the first drop is completely ruined by the heavy trims and without these the woodland race section would be much...
Well this came as a bit of a surprise as Id not heard or seen anything regarding possible new areas for Paultons but turns out they are well underway with one that'll be opening in 2018. Whilst I don't think there are any creds planned (I literally have no idea what is actually planned bar the...
Now, most will likely look at this topic and think 'Pah, thats just my top 10 what a mong' but for me, these too are very different things. I think location and accessibility can definitely play a part and also the amount of re rides you managed to get on the day. So anyway may be a bit of a duf...
Why does Holiday Park in Germany only have 2 creds?
It attracts over 1 million visitors annually.
It has one of the highest ranking coasters in the world.
Its owned by Plopsa so the potential for investment is there.
It has the infrastructure to be a big park.
It removed the wild mouse coaster...
Browsing RCDB I do love finding stupidly inappropriate names for creds, whether that be names exaggerating the intensity of the ride or just being downright misleading or over extravagant.
A few examples;
Lightning Train @ Pyeonghwa Land
'Wow lightning train? This is going to be lightning...
So, simple one really, whats your favorite Merlin Park?
I've listed the poll options based on number of creds at the park.
Ive visited Alton, Thorpe, Chessie, Legoland Windsor and Gardaland so am only really missing Heide from the big parks. I must say from a distance Heide probably looks...
So RCDB have confirmed a new cred for 2017 at Wiener Prater in Vienna, although no details have been released yet could we be looking at something decent?

Just thinking they had Olympia Looping for a bit and would have likely seen an increase of visitors over this...
Simple thread, share your favourite videos from the web!
Cute kid doesn't approve of the monkeys at the drive through safari...
Kid finds one of his mums 'toys'
Blackpool Pleasure Beach recently had an email survey and one of the questions asked if guests would be open to a possible change in opening hours, they wanted feedback as to whether customers would approve or disapprove a change to 12pm - 9pm opening time.
I firmly believe a shift to the 12 -...
