UK Attractions

I used to visit here all the time when I was a kid for one reason. It is designed for children. All the enclosures have viewing points designed for children and activities at each enclosure (like how loud can you roar even though they have no big cats ). Drusillas is also well known for having a set of large and good play areas. Many of the places I visited as a kid I can't remember very well but Drusillas is one I clearly and fondly remember! Park map for those interested. Anyway, opening this Saturday is a new land with a few rides, Hello Kitty Secret Garden. Included will be a tea cups, car ride and a frog hopper. It's not much but for a family zoo of this size i…

From facebook Theme park logic: Breaking news: Company behind Fantasy Island goes into administration The company which owns an amusement park in Skegness has gone into administration. Conduit Skegness Limited, and associated group trading companies, own Fantasy Island - which includes theme park rides, Europe’s largest permanent seven-day market and 340 static caravan pitches. The business will continue to operate as usual while the administrators review the company’s financial position, and no job losses are expected among permanent staff. The seasonal temporary expansion of the payroll during the summer holiday season will also continue as usual. Paul Clark a…

Flambards in Cornwall is going to have a bumper 2023 season. I have many happy memories from multiple visits to Flambards as a Kid. If you have memories from this attraction please share them. Moreover if you have any ideas on how Flambards could be improved speak up. I think Flambards could do with a major refurbishment and the introduction of Themed Lands. Flambards opened as a Theme Park over 30 years ago. In these 3 decades the place has seen minimal changes. The fact Flambards has hardly evolved gives it a unique charm and reason to return. It looks like major changes are the plan for Flambards going forward. In 2014 Flambards was bought by a Na…

I can't seem to find a topic on Flamingo land (yorkshire), so I thought I would start one.Has anybody been?It looks quite good and they have a new coaster opening july this year!

So after Funderworld setting up at Bristol every Easter half term for 2 weeks for the past years, to hear nothing this year, they've finally released that they will be at Birstol in the May Half term 23rd May - 1st June... can't wait

Hi everyone!I'm taking part in Work Experience the coming July at Legoland Windsor, and need to know how to get there by train from London Waterloo.Can anyone help me?Thankss.

I was quite shocked to see that there was no topic for the East Coasts finest fun fair/theme park. I go there every year and it is one of those theme parks that although there is nothing of major thrill...it is never really boring. The wooden rollercoaster is a real experience and I would recommend going there purely to try this out! Apparently they have added a new rollercoaster this year...a family spinning wild mouse although I have seen no photos or publicity of this...

Hello everyone, I need some information. Next week I will have to sustain an interview at the Sea Life London for the position of Guest Experience Assistant, you know what is the interview and what are the questions that in most cases are made? I am Italian and my English is not very good, you know if it is possible for the interview in Italian? Thanks to everyone for availability!

Looks like the UK is set to have a new holiday site opening, which will incorporate a Gulliver's theme park. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-38992235 Probably not the most exciting development for those of us over 7 years old, but still nice to see something new.

Rumours going around about a Harry Potter theme park in the UK.Harry Potter theme park Here's just one of the news articles..

Hi guys. Since Tussauds' purchase of Thorpe Park in 1998, Chessington & Thorpe Park, two of the UK's largest theme parks, have operated under the same corporate umbrella (Tussauds from 1998 through to 2007, Merlin since 2007) within very little distance of each other; both parks serve the London area, and they are only a very short drive away from each other. Tussauds' initial reasoning for purchasing Thorpe Park was in order to eliminate Chessington's closest competition within the South (Thorpe was a family park to the same, if not a greater, extent than Chessington at the time, and as John Wardley put it, Tussauds' mentality was one of "if you can't bea…

With the parks soon closing does anyone know what the rides are like here?

A new ITV attraction at media city in Manchester (formerly the Lowry centre) Based on I’m a celebrity, it opens at the end of July. This looks set to be a bigger version of the indoor attraction that was at Thorpe. Set design from Scruffy dog. https://www.imacelebrityjunglechallenge.co.uk

Hi guys. In recent days, Hyperia, the UK’s tallest and fastest roller coaster, has opened at Thorpe Park. It’s only been open for a few days thus far, but a lot of people who’ve ridden it (although admittedly not everybody) are already declaring it their top UK coaster. With this in mind, I’d be interested to know; is Hyperia your top UK coaster, if you’ve ridden? Has it finally knocked Nemesis off its top spot? Or if Nemesis wasn’t your top UK coaster before, has Hyperia usurped whatever you previously had on top? Or did it not quite reach the mark for you? I haven’t personally ridden Hyperia yet, so I’m voting undecided at the moment, but I’m interested to s…

The annual Knutsford may day fair is now open until the 6th May. It has over 100 attractions. Probably the best new ride I've seen is this Megaspin. It's like a cross between a Sky Swat and a Disk'o.

Well, I've never visited the park but as it is now part of our Annual Passes it might see a few more visits from us lot. Posted up on the new Annual Pass website.."Annual Pass holder preview dayWe invite you celebrate the start of the 2008 season at LEGOLAND® Windsor before we open to the general public. Come along…"Anyway, discuss the park etc. in this topic.

Does Legoland Windsor brick or treat during the weekday during school term or is brick or treat only during weekends during school term time even though parents do take their children on holiday on weekdays during school term time.

Hi,I'm currently in year 10 and am interested to know what age you have to be to do work experience at legoland. Also if anyone has done it before what was it like?Thanks

Have you been to Lightwater Valley and what did you think?

What is everyones thoughts on the 2 4D shows in the London Cluster what one is your favourite and why? and what would you like to see in the future added to them etc?

I went here on Monday and I highly recomend this attraction. Just under London Bridge this attraction is 2 things in 1. A interactive museum and A Fright maze, I personly enjoyed both parts of the attarction. Have you been or do you want to go.

so...has anyone been to this? considering going tomorrow. was just wondering what the "phobophobia" show entails. it says it's for adults only, and is extreme...should I expect something as extreme as face it alone at Thorpe, or is it just a scarier version of the normal Tombs show? cheers!

The London Dungeons is now part of the merlin/tussauds line up, and has been a popular family attraction for many a year. Recently the dungeons have been installing ride attractions including Xtremis: The Drop Ride to Doom - or sommat. But what do you think - really scary? or just mildly gory. Chat Chat Chat!

The British Airways London Eye has been under tussauds ruling for quite a while now, and its no different with our new daddymerlin.Giving us fantastic views of our beloved capital, the london eye - constructed for the millenium - has been a massive success and one of londons's top attraction. Situated on the southbank, its in prime position to see all the famous landmarks for a bird eye view. Dont forget to visit - its now included in your annual pass.Go, fly with the london eye. Discuss!

The Trocadero isn't a place I ever went to, but hearing from all the attractions that used to be there such as Sega world, have made me interested in what this place was like. Here's a promotional video of the park, just before it opened in the mid nineties. Looks like it was quite an interesting place, shame it no longer exists.
