I’d totally forgotten Parc Astérix is getting a new coaster when I was booking a summer trip so this feels like a little treat 🥰

🟢 BOOKED: - Parc Astérix 🟡 WILL HAPPEN: - Nigloland (accommodation is booked ☺️) 🟠 LIKELY: … 😐 🟣 WANT TO MANIFEST: - Portaventura? - Energylandia? - Tibidabo? - Parque Warner Madrid? - Efteling? - Literally anywhere else that isn’t a UK park???

I have entered the new year without a single solidified plan to go to a theme park in 2025. No wonder I can’t gather any enthusiasm for the next 12 months 🙃

Gelatoni is loving having a new partner-in-crime: a cat clown from the V&A 🥰 He is called Scroggly and I love him dearly.

Finally a chance to break out this image I saved to my ‘Important’ album on my phone

Eco cabins you say? 👀 I need to get to Nigloland even more now 😩

Doing a Worst of 2024 because some are my funniest park memories 🥲 Park: Tokyo Dome City (Thunder Dolphin shut 😤) Rollercoaster: Raging Spirits 😴(TDS) Dark ride: Bikkuri House 😵‍💫 (Hanayashiki) Water ride: - Flat ride: Little Star 🤕 (Hanayashiki) Show: - Food: French Toast Sando at Gaston’s 🤢 (TDL)

Theme park: Nagashima Spa Land ✨🌴 Rollercoaster: Hakugei (Nagaspa) Dark ride: ToT (TDS) Water ride: Splash Mountain (TDL) Flat ride: Wilde Gautsche (Tripsdrill) Show: not a show fan but the Thomas Land one we kept stumbling upon (Drayton Manor) Food: Gyoza dog/Casbah Court veg curry (TDS)

Favourite: Droomvlucht Overrated: Rise of the Resistance Underrated: Geister Rikscha 😤 Wish I could ride for the first time again: Tower of Terror (DisneySea) Wish I’d Never Ridden: Ninjago And I’m going to add… Bucket list dark ride: Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage (it was closed for refurbishment 😭)

When I set up my account here and chose my interests to get started, I picked “games.” Turns out that means games like Valorant(?), not 90s edutainment, or Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel. Realising now I’m not a gamer; I just like to listen to the Sims 1 and Tropico soundtracks.

Colossus, Thorpe Park 😅 The only coaster to give me such a severe headache that I had blurred vision, had to sit down for several hours, then had a little vom outside the Dome. I’ve had one good ride on it, but never again.

I say this entirely unironically: Zierer Tivolis (medium and large). Back row on those things pack way more of a punch than they have any right to, and they keep on trucking for years and years. Don’t have a photo because it’s impossible to take one without taking a photo of like 30 children 🙃

I am loving seeing so many theme park folks on here now, but please, I need the unhinged Japanese Gelatoni handpuppet accounts to make it over here. I need them or I cannot ever be fully set free.

Hello theme park people 👁️👄👁️ Park: Nagashima Spa Land🎵🌴 Coaster: Taron/Hakugei Dark ride: Droomvlucht Season: between the end of the summer holidays and halloween Bucket list park: Nigloland Last park visited: Drayton Manor Last coaster ridden: the Wave? Coaster count: 123 (someone travel w me pls)

Nothing of interest to post right now, so please accept this soothing photo of Gelatoni enjoying a signature cocktail in the Teddy Roosevelt Lounge at Tokyo DisneySea.
