    If we keep this pace going, we might get it completed in time for the 2021 season.

    The entrance portal is ok, but the offices to the right generally look odd now. Hopefully that area will be one of the next places to be sorted.

     

    Rookburgh definitely seems to be getting a mixed response from people, but we will have to see when it’s all finished.

  9. Your Most Memorable Theme Park Visits

    in Your Planned Trips and Reports

    Posted

    With none of us likely to visit a park in current situations, I decided to create a new thread to Try and keep things upbeat. 
     

    What are everyone’s most memorable theme park visits? Where did you go to and what made that place or trip so special? Be as specific as you like, make a list. Was it the circumstances or the atmosphere that made it so?

     

    I’ll make a start.

     

    5/ Blackpool Pleasure Beach September 2014

    I had just gone through a Bumpy time of family related health issues, so this trip couldn’t have come at a better time. Blackpool was TPM’s most ambitious meet-up to date and the park proved to be my first major non-Merlin Park at the time. 
     

    many of my Blackpool trips have had somewhat special circumstances, but none more than this one which really pushed the boat out for me on both a progressive and social level. 

     

    4/ Cedar Point- August 2018

    For years it had been a goal of mine to get out to the states and this was the trip to do just that. Cedar Point is easily my favourite amusement park, from it’s selection of modern and traditional attractions, not to mention beautiful location. But one of the things that made this trip stand out was  seeing how remarkably different American culture is. Long roads going for miles, vast landscapes and flags on pretty much every street.

     

    3/  Chessington -April 2013

    The trip that started it all, and one of the most important of all time. This was the first trip with the TPM community. The one which would pave the road for future meets and trips to come. Getting to meet so many different enthusiasts was simply amazing and further helped build my already strong interests in theme parks and other attractions.  

     

    2/ Phantasialand- September 2016

    Any visit to Phantasialand is memorable full stop, especially this visit. Given the circumstances of my personal life then, I wouldn’t be forgetting this trip anytime soon. I was simply blown away  by this  place and everything it had to offer (excluding Temple and that Wakoblando). Taron was definitely something to remember too,

     

    1/ Disneyland Paris- April 2015

    I don’t think any trip ever has (or ever will) reach the Crazy excitement levels seen here. At that point of time I was crazily obsessed about visiting Disneyland Paris. So much, I even made a several part series known as Disney and the Creek.

     

    April 2015 was when the dream finally came true, thanks to Peaj (and a handful of TPMers). Everything from the trip was truly memorable, from the ‘chest belting’ singalongs during the journey to that last Earl of Sandwich before leaving. Not only were the parks truly magical, but everything during the whole visit was so memorable. I’ll never forget that.

    Nice!

     

    This is wildly off-topic but oh well: have you considered trying to do the original Duel music? Would love to see your take on that if you have the chance!

    Thanks, and Challenge accepted.

     

    Hoping to add some different uploads over the coming weeks and will definitely add pre-2018 Duel theme to the list.

    Difficult to say whether how great the final product is, but it certainly looks an improvement on what the ride has been the last few years at least.

     

    The added storyline certainly gives the ride an extra element and generally seems like a nod to the Terror Tomb days. The music is noticeably less distinctive but seems to work well enough for what’s there.

    It is also running many trains at half capacity due to a lack of children riding. Not to sure why though...

    I promise this isn’t me. I promise!

     

    I am not at the park today anyway.
