Your Planned Trips and Reports

Remember this?... Well, on Saturday the 26th of September 2009, The Ride-Guide are re-attempting the infamous challenge at Pleasure Island. This year will see the challenge go national with a host of other websites and forums invited to take part. How many times can you handle riding the Huss Frisbee, 'Pendulus' ride at Pleasure Island consecutively before you give up... or throw up!Places on this challenge may be limited and therefore a lottery style draw out may be used to pick candidates for the challenge...So, are you interested? If so, get your name down in this topic and let the preparations begin.Further details will be given in due course but if you have any quest…

Stealth Owl and myself are planning a trip to the 2 parks mentioned on Saturday & Sunday August 11th & 12th and was wondering if any TPM members would be wanting to join us. We both really enjoyed the meet with TPM back in march and it would be great to see some of you guys again. We will be visiting Fantasy Island on the Saturday, travelling for an overnight stay in Hull Travelodge on Saturday night, and then onto Flamingo Land on the Sunday. If anyone wants to join us, please comment below.

N.B. I realise this review may include details about the new Dungeon that people have read about on other websites already - apologies in advance. Today I have been to the new London Dungeon at County Hall. I arrived at Waterloo about 2:30pm, and took the short walk to the Dungeon, arriving about 10 minutes later. On approach, the Dungeon isn't as large nor heavily advertised as I expected. I immediately saw the normal queue, and as expected, wasn't short. I was pleased to see it was well-organised though, and not spilling out onto the walkway outside County Hall. The front entrance to the Dungeon is quite plain, with glass doors contantly open, and the main entrance sp…

Our day started getting up at 4am to get to BPB early, so we could get our passes processed. This proved a good move as we were first in the queue, and it was good to see a separate room for processing passes where thought had been put into the layout, to speed up the process. Following this we entered the park, I can't remember the order we did the rides, but here's a few of my thoughts from the weekend. Ride availability was generally good aside from Grand National (which kept having stoppages), The Big One opened late on Sunday and Valhalla closed at around 3:30pm (due to an issue of some sort). The Big One and Avalanche were bot…
