AstroDan Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Parque Warner I enjoy more than PortAventura. It's a cracking place, even if it's been lacking investment. Some really great coasters - the closest park in Europe to being in Orlando. Has a totally different feel to the 'charm' of say Europa-Park, Phantasialand, Efteling etc. which makes it quite a different kind of park from the usual things I look for. It also has some dark rides, which is more than can be said for PA. For me, the best park in Spain. Parque de Attraciones is pretty much entirely forgettable!

Mark9 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 You can never beat that feeling when someones opinion matches your own. Parque Warner is awesome. Great rides, Great Atmosphere, Great Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smidget Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well we found a deal - stay on park at PortAventura for a week, all inclusive including flights for less than £500 each so yeah, we went for it! Means we get to go to the beach and stuff too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah, I'm also adding Port Aventura, Bagatelle/Bellewaerde and Plopsaland to the damn near confirmed trips for this season... Then hopefully somewhere in October... Hopefully Madrid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've added Disneyland Paris (with the Studios park) for four nights at the beginning of September and PortAventura at the end of September for two days. This was supposed to be a quiet year. Smidget and Phill Pritchard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 And now for me Alton Towers has dropped from a 'Probably' to a 'Probably Not' and Drayton Manor has risen from a 'Maybe' to a 'Probably'. Well, at least I'm breaking free from The Merlin Machine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Well I have been to Thorpe and Chessington with the forum which was awesome, now I have my exams euurrgh! then I am going to a birthday meet hopefully 4 JamesC, then after this hopefully, Alton towers live, and the MOS meet and I might be going to Gardaland fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Here's the themepark I hope to visit this year Thorpe park Thorpe park MOS Thorpe Park fright Night Alton Towers London Dungeons and Madame Tussaud's (do they count?) Tivoli World (which is near where I go on holiday every year (not a great place)) At least one place new or that I haven't been to for while. Either Oakwood, Drayton or Paultons. However I can't see this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smidget Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Park visits this year may now be quite restricted - Merlin parks are a bit easier as I have an annual pass, but it looks unlikely that I'll be doing any non-Merlin UK attractions... Monies is needing to be saved for PortAventura and Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Oakwood is another must 4 me this year, haven't been in 2 years and I need to have some fun in my local park, well as local as a 1hr 30 min drive can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 compared to what I normally do, a big year planned lol... Thorpe Park Alton Towers Chessington Legoland Alton Towers... Again Oakwood (Never Been) Flamingoland (Never Been)Drayton Manor and whatever October half term events I can get to (hopefully Chessington, Thorpe & Alton) People think I'm sad with the amount I got planned, and then I look through this thread at what some of you are doing!

Mark9 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't think there are many people in the UK left who aren't going to PortAventura this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 The usual : Thorpe park Alton towers (if / when smiler opens) Different: PortAventura Drayton Manor Oakwood (I hope) Booked florida for next september Phill Pritchard and Smidget 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammydodger Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Going to Europa park for the first time in summer, very exited about that . Possibly going to Alton towers soon as well! And the usual Thorpe park trip every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Well I was booked to be going to PortAventura on my holiday to Spain for a week this year. But it was booked by family who would rather go when it's cheaper abroad in term time instead of when it suits everyone... Which always causes trouble, and did again this time as I have exams on when I'm meant to be in Spain. So I can't go... But we're going to sort something out for later in the year around September / October time for another European trip to somewhere... Hurrah..! & boo!

JoshC. Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 And now for me Alton Towers has dropped from a 'Probably' to a 'Probably Not' and Drayton Manor has risen from a 'Maybe' to a 'Probably'. Well, at least I'm breaking free from The Merlin Machine... And in the space of just over a week, plans have changed again, with Alton Towers now confirmed in August, and maybe a Scarefest trip on the cards! Drayton next month is probable, and a trip to Legoland is on the cards over Summer, along with a couple of fairs and such. May not seem much, but at least it's an expansions away from Thorpe and Chessie. Hoping Flamingo Land and/or LWV to be on the cards for next year too.

James & Co. Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Well the plans I really have is to go to Thorpe as much as I can (will be able to go loads after exams as I have my MAP and I don't have to go to school) also I plan to go to a lot of TPM meets, hopefully going to AT at the start of summer holidays or near the end (need to see about staying at my cousins). I'm more than likely going to Ireland for about 2 weeks in August (means that I miss results day but I will get them posted to my house). That's really all I can think if ATM, but I will keep you all updated when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
