New Blog posted on the CoasterGen site! Go check out my review of my recent trip to @toverland.bsky.social

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! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 #Eurovision

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.

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

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! www.coastergen.com/blog/our-blo...

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

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 😥

Relatively modest plans for me, but I'm hoping to learn to drive this year so expecting that to take up a lot of my fun money 😂 🟢 BOOKED: - DLP - Efteling - Toverland 🟡 LIKELY - Alton Towers - Europa Park - Drayton Manor 🟠 MAYBE - Emerald Park - Phantasialand - Liseburg - Grønalund - Kolmarden

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

Did you age well? Let your friends decide. I'm certainly happier now 💜 15 vs 30

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. youtu.be/5W4Vc5gIeVk?...

Had a wonderful time at Disneyland Paris the past 3 days. Stunning place, and impeccable company to boot @ymcacoasters.bsky.social @austinymca.bsky.social @halfnorthern.co.uk @coasterclaire.co.uk

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!

Me anytime a scare actor catches me off guard 😂

Well it is Eurovision national final season at the moment... #TheTraitors

"The Good Place" is my #1 all time comfort show (even though I cry at the end EVERY TIME). I just finished "Man on the Inside", found that incredibly comforting amd then cried my eyes out at the end. I guess Ted Danson is my kryptonite comfort grandpa 🥰

Ngl, there's no better complement than your girlfriends telling you look great 🥲. With confidence from my new haircut and a holiday next week to look forward to, my mental health has actually been pretty damn good the last couple days ❤️

#TheTraitors in Series 3: The well meaning older person who keeps putting their foot in it. The one that doesn't shut up and rubs people up the wrong way. The quiet genius who always saves the day. LINDA, ARMANI and MINAH are WALLACE, NORBOT & GROMIT, thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

Well now we know where Death's Doors went after Thorpe Park #TheTraitors

@tttourists.bsky.social smashed this on the Chain Dogs podcast quiz 😂 🎵 Fancy a Beveragino? 🎵 www.youtube.com/live/0Woziwr...

Oh December Keira, what treats you had in store #TheTraitors

Think I've accidentally got my office hooked on Stroopwaffels. Anytime anyone goes to the Netherlands, there's now an expectation that they'll bring back Stroopwaffels 🧇

Keep remembering that this is my last week with long hair 😱

The @thedavidhortonshow.co.uk wrapped is here! Lovingly crafted by me with assistance from @acekeira.bsky.social #DavidHortonShow www.canva.com/design/DAGbL...

Sorting through the notes document in my phone and came across some lyrics about Blackpool Pleasure Beach I wrote to the tune of Bo Burnham's "Welcome to the Internet". Some things truly are best left in 2023 😂

Doing some rough trip planning, Europa Park in early May could work, with an afternoon sightseeing in Basel a week or two before Eurovision 👀

Looking at my to-do list at work today...

Don't know most of the names of #TheTraitors people yet but after 2 eps, my favs are Minah, Kas, the purple haired scottish guy, the Army Barbie and the Birdwatching Himbo. Iykyk. TRAITORS IS BACK BABY. I'll learn all their names eventually 😂

BRB, gonna put on a cable knit jumper and 6 times more eyeliner than usual because THE TRAITORS IS BACK TONIGHT

My Top 5 New-for-me Coasters of 2024 1. Hyperia - Thorpe Park 2. Fenix - Toverland 3. Troy - Toverland 4. De Vliegende Hollander - Efteling 5. Joris en de Draak 💧- Efteling

Recently a friend gave me the most incredible gift I have ever received. Would you like to see it? OF COURSE. Here is the tube map... IN CROSS STITCH. It takes my breath away that anyone could create this, let alone create it for me. She's astonishing.

Thrashing out logisitics and checking in/booking flights whilst listening to the Efteling soundtrack is the best way to spend 90 minutes of Betwixtmas

So, update on Efteling music in Wallace & Gromit as I've done some investigating. The music Gromit is listening to is "By the Sleepy Lagoon", written in 1930 by British composer Eric Coates. This piece is used in Efteling as the background music for "De Magische Klok" in the Fairytale Forest

Tell me it's not just me that heard Gromit listening to the Efteling soundtrack in Vengeance Most Fowl?

Ready to be Quiz Mistress for the annual family xmas quiz. The Price is Shite returns!

Finishing the year with 19 new creds, a new favourite park and a massive personal victory over my travel anxiety that's opened up a world of "new to me" parks in the future. Merry Xmas ya'll, thanks for sharing the year with me🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎢🎢🎢

Was looking for something in a kitchen draw and found a "28" candle from my Birthday last year. Don't know why I kept it, was I expecting to carry it around for 54 years then stick it on a cake backwards when I'm in my eighties?

Told my Christmas-mad colleague in mid-October that if they allowed me a Xmas-free autumn, I would dress up for Secret Santa day. Did not expect so many other people in the office to get such enjoyment out of having a 6ft elf about 😂 Morale of the story: Do the silly thing. Spread Joy, always 🎄🎁

Many of my friends enjoy the musical stylings of "Bring me the Horizon". I have only just clocked that it is often stylised as just "BMTH" for brevity. I thought those 4 letters meant "Bournemouth". Sorry @tttourists.bsky.social & co, I shall no longer mistake a band you like for a seaside town

I try not to get political too often, but on this I must speak up. The government's decision to ban the prescription of puberty blockers to Trans kids, whilst continuing to allow the exact same medication to be prescribed to cis kids is discriminatory and cruel. Trans kids deserve better.

There's a charitable site in Poland where you vote to feed dogs every day in December. nakarmpsa.olx.pl Had to choose Saba today SAAAAAANNNNDDDD

But the Mole Pole stays right? RIGHT? TELL ME THAT THE MOLE POLE IS OKAY!

Describe your #1 Song of 2024 as a clickbait title: "Six Dads from MOLDOVA on a TRAIN - What happens next will SHOCK YOU"

Post the bottom 5 of your wrapped

I cannot tell you how excited I am for The Traitors to be back on my TV in the New Year. Chunky knitwear, slowed down sinister cover versions of popular songs, becoming slightly obsessed with the deductive powers of some random middle aged guy I've never met. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!

My Top 5s for #Wrapped
