@supkophoto @knoebels I’m with you on this one! Bliss :)

@bmay Visit regularly. It’s always like that. This is Dec 2017.

It is always like this. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@coasterstudios Love the Chimelong parks. If you get the chance, try the International Circus in Guangzhou. See it to believe it!

Our next stop in Guangzhou is Chimelong Paradise, our first of 3 Chimelong parks we’ll be doing on this trip!

@JimShull Same problem with the camera button. I also keep finding my camera triggered.

After owning the #iPhone16 for a week my verdict is the cameras are as advertised, the camera button is too often being triggered, and the action button is looking for a reason. Product feels like different divisions built this but it's not a unified product. 4 out of 5.

Guangzhou Sunac Land was our first ever Chinese theme park it set the bar pretty high. The park only opened in 2019, and FELT new, with a lot of neat attractions we hadn’t seen before, including an epic glass floor sky deck with a crazy slide and an awesome 8K flying theater.

@jake_coasters Oh it was good, wasn’t it 😃 Do-Dodonpa at Fuji-Q was even more extreme. I’d like to try the air-launched coasters at the OCT parks in China (currently all closed) for comparison.

@altontowers Gardens 1994 vs 2024 😔

30th September vs 1st October

@NoContextBrits In the industry I work in, the majority of my (non-British) colleagues speak more than one language. My partner (Asian) speaks 5 languages, 3 of them fluently. I’m ashamed to say I know only one 😢 That’s all on me of course.

BREAKING: 57 Arab and Muslim countries offer Israel a PEACE DEAL. Guaranteed security in exchange for a Palestinian state and an end of occupation. The Jordanian FM expresses the Arab world is ready for peace but Israel refuses.

@coastersteve @LewisJ815PARKS Inexperience. Many basic mistakes made. The contrast between Hyperia and riding Tripsdrill’s Hals-über-Kopf days later was striking. Not only was Vekoma’s coaster more enjoyable to ride, the theming, queue management and overall presentation was superb. If Tripsdrill can do it…

@Greg_Pearn @LewisJ815PARKS Greg, do you think this is down to inexperienced staff making decisions or stakeholders holding the purse strings?

Colour scheme will always give “cigarettes, the ride” to me

@coasterstudios Shame since it’s a great layout

“Floorless coaster”, a B&M floorless coaster, is probably the worst B&M I’ve ridden. Yes there are others that have worse layouts, but this has an AWFUL shake to it that is just too rough. It feels like the train doesn’t fit the track, at all. It’s legitimately painful to ride.

@alpherah @TowersStreet @altontowers Did you go?

@Greg_Pearn @TowersStreet @altontowers Agree. But. It didn’t drive attendance, and the shows were watched by 200 people. Can see it going tbh

It’s the final day of Oktoberfest at @altontowers Which means it’s your last chance to grab a bratwurst and beer and enjoy some German entertainment on the front lawns. Prost! 🍻

👌🏻

@de_jever Agree. In Germany last week & reminded, as I do each time I visit, the stark contrast between mainland Europe & the UK. There’s this level of arrogance in the UK that it’s GREAT Britain, but that’s simply not true. For sure good & bad everywhere, but UK feels more bad now 😢

I've lived in Germany on and off over the years. I don't think people in the UK realise just how degraded and shabby and generally unpleasant UK towns have become over the last 40 years of Thatcherism. We've let our public infrastructure degrade to almost US levels.
