Posted November 6, 20186 yr comment_261220 It's that time of year again, the nights are drawing in earlier, it's cold outside and the closed season is upon us. Which theme parks did you visit in 2018, and how many times? I finally managed to get to some abroad parks, as well as having some enjoyable visits to UK parks. I'll start with my count below (referring to the number of days spent at each park); Blackpool Pleasure Beach x18 Thorpe Park x5 Alton Towers x4 Liseberg x3 Phantasialand x2 Chessington x2 Toverland x1 Efteling x1 Oakwood x1 Lightwater Valley x1 Dreamland x1 Brean Theme Park x1 Funland Weston Super Mare x1 TOTAL: 41
November 6, 20186 yr comment_261221 Sure. Here is my park count upto November 2018. Thorpe Park -8 Chessington-7 Legoland-1 Towers-6 Blackpool-1 Dreamland-1 Xtreme Scream-1 Europa Park-5 Cedar Point -4 Total: 34 (9 park’s) Still have Winter Efteling in December hopefully.
November 6, 20186 yr comment_261223 Ermmmm... Thorpe x10(ish) Phantasialand x6 Alton Towers x5 Chessington x4 Legoland x2 Energylandia x1 Legendia x1 Flamingo Land x1 Adventure Island x1 Efteling x1 Toverland x1 Bellewaerde x1 So 4 new parks this year (Flamingo Land, Adventure Island and Polish parks). A quieter year for me though. But hey, at least Phantasialand was my second-most visited park - happy with that ?
November 7, 20186 yr comment_261230 Thorpe Park X4 Alton Towers X1 Dreamland X1 Phantasialand X6 Heide Park X1.5 Hansa Park X1 Efteling X1 Toverland X1 Bellewaerde X1 Legendia X1 Energylandia X1 Overall not a bad year 5 New parks visited Dreamland,Energylandia,Legendia,Heide Park and Hansa Park.

November 7, 20186 yr comment_261235 Uhh, here goes my confession: I’ve visited 0 theme parks all year. (well bar a 5 minute trip to Adventure Island to get on Rage) That’s not to say my enthusiasm’s waned at all; I spend most of my time researching, exploring and reading about theme parks online. I guess I was just busy this year and my inability to drive combined with a lack of theme park buddies does mean that getting to new parks is rather difficult. I hope that a year from now I’ll be writing up a very hefty park count... including trips to The Efteling and Phantasialand...
November 7, 20186 yr comment_261236 Park count: 0 I'm too far away for spontaneous trips to theme parks anymore and I just didn't have the time. At some point I believe I have a site visit to Thorpe so hopefully I can get some rides in then. Just have to hope the site visit isn't in closed season which to be honest it probably will be and that's if I get to go at all.
November 7, 20186 yr comment_261239 Thorpe Park x21 (yes, really) Alton Towers x6 PortAventura x6 Chessington x5 Europa Park x3 (first visit) Liseberg x2 Legoland x1 Blackpool x1 (first visit) For 2019, it's all about trying Toverland finally, and visiting Liseberg and Phantasialand once again. Gotta get on Valkyria and Fēnix.
November 8, 20186 yr comment_261245 Alton Towers +4 Thorpe Park +9 Chessington +5 Drayton Manor +1 Blackpool Pleasure Beach +1 Dreamland Margate +1 Cedar Point +4 Liseberg + 2 Next year the priority is hopefully a return to Cedar Point (if not then certainly 2020) or a trip back to Sweden to finally ride Wildfire!!

November 9, 20186 yr comment_261260 Lets see thorpe once, alton once, chessington once. The lowest park count in like a century mainly as my partners pregnancy spanned the season and a little buddle of joy made it into the world in mid October to get her first onride picture on the gruffallo on the last day of the season ?

November 10, 20186 yr comment_261294 Looks like someone has well and truly Benin’d Benin. I never thought this was possible!
November 10, 20186 yr comment_261298 An incredible list. You have visited approximately 77 times the amount of parks than I have this year. I have an excuse though, my wife has spent the whole of open season very pregnant. At least now I'll be able to tick Gulliver's off my list next year...

No seriously though I'm in the same boat kiddie parks are gonna be a bit of a thing for a few years as I will have to get my little one into coasters tbh (my needs come third now apparently ? Baby, partner,me)
November 12, 20186 yr comment_261307 Pfft, all you have to do is email them and they let you in escorted...
November 12, 20186 yr comment_261308 Alternatively, go for an interview there, and they let you roam around the park unescorted for free afterwards. Didn't feel wholly comfortable with that proposition...

Me and my credit counting friend have tried no less than 4 times now with no result, it quite simply is not as simple as you make it out to be... On the up side, the very same day they last ignored us they made national news for "trapping screaming children 200 feet in the air for 4 hours", so who really is the loser here? I'm not bitter honest... On 11/12/2018 at 9:15 AM, ChiapasC. said: Alternatively, go for an interview there, and they let you roam around the park unescorted for free afterwards.

I've 100% record for attempts to being allowed in (1 out of 1)... Maybe I'm just nicer?
