Sometimes in life, I feel I am the Meg Griffin. The Blackpool, the punch, the slack machine, the one who always gets the blame. Social communication always becomes a difficulty time after time. I may have tackled many things to get where I am in life, but there's still way to go amongst the ocassional flash back of the past.

Two trains on the ride? I X-pect that nowadays.

My god, I'm in hysterics now. Please, please make it stop!

That was definitely a defiant definition defining a defence.

You're really encouraging me to visit this place. I love parks with management that know what they're doing and appear to have a caring attitude towards the place.

Yup the paints definitely helped ride reliability this year, nothing there really. Still the animals are there so yay for them.

I'm so excited so this, really can't wait, I can't let it go! Flume's station is becoming a good outlet! SW8 looks good too.

Derren Brown's Restaurant please! Imagine the possibilities that could be done but may not be done.

Because Slammer is such a reliable ride.

A ride that's staggered for opening through the year? Well that's new, never before right?

not good news, but then again this was all expected. I think it's safe to say the park probably expect numbers to remain low this year over what was to come which is why so many attractions and outlets remain shut in the present. I hope things can get back to normal sooner rather than later from this terrible accident that happened.

Those have existed for years, most likely a PR stunt. Wonder when we will hear if Ninjago got approved?

The chances of there not being another celebrity death before the end of 2016 are the equivalent of me holding my breath for an hour and being absolutely fine afterwards. I.E unfortunately Prince most certainly won't be the last celebrity death of 2016, not to mention we still have 8 months of the year to go through as well. That said, 2016 has been the worst year for celebrity deaths by a country mile. Having already lost: David Bowie Alan Rickman Terry Wogan Frank Kelly George Martin Frank Sinatra JR Ronnie Corbett Victoria Wood Prince Emerson Lake pianist guy And many more I've embarrisngly perhaps forgotten about. Rest In peace to all of them.

That water ski sounds hilarious, especially with the tongue and cheek Europa & DLP characters. I love it! Holiday Park sounds a decent park to visit and am particularly fascinated by some of their rides that reminisce some of Thorpe's [now sadly deceased] veteran rides. Geforce sounds like a good coaster, but not a great one. I'd probably take Shambhala over that any day. Or Silver Star for that matter.

They were for entertainment purposes only, so you can now remember who had what in 2016's Empires game. Besides I lost anyway, which was bound to happen considering how many people want me to succeed.

Pretty sure there were parts I didn't record. Longest standalone vlog potentially. I did make the Disney & Eftelling Vlogs several parts. Other vloggers make longer vids btw. Most of TPW's standalone ones are over an hour long.

So I went for a cheeky Maccy D's yesterday asked for a Mcflurry and their machine literally broke as I was being served. When I left, the song Nothing Sweet About Me was playing. Rather fitting to say the least.

What's more exciting than a couple of animatronic pandas on a decking stage? Well, the unofficial TPM Chessington 2016 hopefully! If you wish to witness: James giving an depth explanation in to Chessington's rides Peaj Claim his first empire [resulting in me reacting the most dramatic since DLRP] My ridiculous over excitement for an open rockless water ride And more in perhaps the most flamboyant Vlog yet, this is the video for you!

Prior to 2015, I had only been to two parks outside the UK and neither were big players in any way. Last year was a turning point for me when I visited two big parks outside the UK, Disneyland Paris & Efteling. Both were amazing parks and better than anything the UK currently offers. This year I hope to continue that trend as I'll be doing my first ever trip to Europa Park trip in May, Liseberg in June and eventually Phantasialand at some point too hopefully. For those of you wanting to do abroad parks but haven't done so, you need to explore the wonders of Europe. I was in your boat just over a year ago, pretty much envying anyone who visited parks abroad. All the trips so far have been highly enjoyable and can be done on the cheap [under £300] if you plan carefully and are willing to fly cheaply without hold. Having starting my visits and is worth the money and a worthwhile experience.. I've still got a considerable list of parks aside from the ones this year] I still haven't done such as Port Aventura, Parc Asterix and Gardaland. That's before we get on the stuff on the other side of the Atlantic and Asia. Disneyland Paris would likely be a great starting point for those who haven't done any European parks due to it being easy to get to and cheap (if you don't stay at a Disney hotel (if you're willing to cap the Magic a little)). Port Aventura could be an alternate first place but I'm yet to go myself (which may be for next year).

As a Legoland veteran I would say: Get Boating School done first followed by Laser Raiders, Squid Surfer & Atlantis. Eat lunch around 12, I know it's earlier but most will eat between 12:30 and 1:30. Do Fairy Tale Brook midday. Do Vikings towards the end of the day. Leave Dragon to the end as queue dies down there. The Harbour shows & Lego Movie should also be watched too if possible.

Video of Raik video tests. Looks a decent family coaster there and certainly fits in the area nicely too. I can see this area having a May/June opening possibly, but then again nothing has been announced or confirmed yet. Edit- The park say there is no opening date.

Apocalypse or ?

Derry Never done Apicalypse Run-down decent theming or garish new theming?

edited for accuracy, but yes.

Safe to say Chrssongton bought fencing this year in bulk. Hence why most looks the same. It's a matter of time before Merlin open a B&Q at one of their parks (or is that wood for the new woodie).
