Dark Ride Run Down, show me yours!

Favourite: Symbolica

OverRated: Ghost Train - BPB (dated and dull)

UnderRated: Ghost Train - Thorpe Park (embrace the camp!)

Wish I could ride for the first time again: Valhalla (when it works, it's incredible)

Wish I'd never ridden: Carnaval Festival 😬

New Blog posted on the CoasterGen site!

Go check out my review of my recent trip to @toverland.bsky.social

acekeira.bsky.social @acekeira.bsky.social · Mar 7

I had a fun time with "Embers"
I grew to love "Spaceman"
I tolerated "Dizzy"

But I've instantly fallen in love with "What the Hell just Happened"

Good Luck Remember Monday! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Can't wait to blow all the money I saved by not going to Blackpool on @efteling.bsky.social merch 😂

Hold on Pardoes, I'm coming baby!

Saddened, but unsurprised to hear of Oakwood's closing. Fond memories of going there on a school trip when I was younger and lapping Megafobia.

I guess people would rather run then wait 5 minutes than come later and wait 75. Nothing worse than an hour plus wait for a mid ride 😂

Love seeing "More to Experience" as a tagline still being used, even on a press release announcing multiple ride closures 😂 Stay Carny Pleasure Beach 😛

Thanks Claire, appreciate the seal of approval from the Queen of Theme Park Blogs 👑

acekeira.bsky.social @acekeira.bsky.social · Feb 16

I've posted my first theme park blog! I responded to the call for writers for the remodeled @coastergen.bsky.social site as the push to do something I've wanted to do for a while 🙂

Please do check out my review of my recent trip to Disneyland Paris!

Thanks, but I wouldn't describe myself as a huge Baby Lasgana fan, so I'll let it go to someone who loves him more 🥰

@thedavidhortonshow.co.uk I really like your show! Please keep serving us 3hrs of Eurovision excellence on the radio every Sunday night 🔥

Indie Book Spotlight @bookspotlight.bsky.social · Feb 12

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

RIP Oktoberfest, always a fun time to be at Alton Towers.

As much as I'm excited for an extended Scarefest, it's sad to lose another event, especially after losing Mardi Gras & Festival of Thrills from the calendar last year 😥

2 years ago today, I took a flying leap out of my comfort zone to meet a load of strangers I'd vaguely chatted to on the internet for my first theme park meet-up.

I couldn't be gladder that I did. I'm proud to be part of this hobby, and I love so many people that I've met through it ❣️🧡💛💚💙💜

My sister & I went to AT Oktoberfest. There was an actor who absolutely made our day with his antics geeing up the crowd. We nicknamed him "Oompah Nigel".

When my sister got a hamster, she named him Nigel.

Good Entertainment is something that makes a theme park more than just a collection of rides

Rocksteady making Batman: Arkham Sequel is possibly the only thing that would make me buy a new gen console at this point in my life. So much love for those games, especially City 🦇

Did you age well? Let your friends decide. I'm certainly happier now 💜

Me too! The video was fab, but nothing beats the surprise of what an unspoiled "new to you" ride is about to do 🙂

(And for the record, I loved 2025 WDS Tower of Terror)

Two months late to this (by desing because of spoiler avoidance), but @mikefromtheparty.bsky.social's Tower of Terror video is a great watch!

A fabulous analysis of the psychology behind different drop tower cycles, and their relationships to a ride's tone.

My Top 10 coasters & dark rides BEFORE Disneyland Paris. Not expecting any new Top10 coasters but I'm hoping that right hand list will look a bit different by the end of next week!
