Come on, when can we not have to get AI involved! We asked for 6 UK Theme Park topics to talk about and here we are!

We are keeping it simple, what Theme Park merchandise do you collect? What would you like to see the parks do more of? It is Mugs and Tshirts, or wheels and bolts!

The UK Theme Park awards have now finished! We take a look at the winners and how close it was to our predictions. Theres a great chance I go on several rants too...

A lot has been said about some of the rides we have here in the UK. Some are heritage, some are classic, but are some just aging? Do we have an aging ride problem at some of the UK parks, or is engineering so good, we shouldn't worry?

Summer is out of here! Its the time to start looking forward to Spooky season. Some park have announced nearly everything already, whilst some still seem to be behind the curve. Lets get upto date with it!

The heatwave comes to the UK and the complaints start...! But do we actually need more water rides, or do we just need some updated ones?

How important is the story to the ride and REALLY how many do we have? What is the most interesting queue and why are so of them soooooo boring?!

We all have pet hates, lets be honest. What really annoys us at Theme Parks? Do you share some of our opinions? Are we over reacting or have we even missed some!

Theme Park food in the UK splits views, with many happy with the offerings. Some parks keep it basic, whilst some really go out to make the menu better. In comparision to the big parks, is the food options our fault?

Okay, this is going to divid a few people! What makes a world class ride? How many details of the ride have to check the box for it to be world class? More importantly, do we have any in the UK?

Yes we know, its been open a while. HOWEVER I had to wait for Kurt to visit after his Florida Holiday. Lets discuss Paw Patrol at Chessington, an area that the park desperately needed and has worked out perfectly.

Possibly the best themed area in a UK theme park is now open at Paultons Park. Valgard featuring the all new coaster, which is Paultons Parks first inverted coaster Drakon, is excellent!

Why do we do it? What can really set the day off at a UK Theme Park badly? Why do we often let it ruin the day completely?

It always been the "in thing", a night ride! We have a discussion as to if night rides really make a difference on everything and why do we want them?! Or do we want them...

We have a fair selection of Theme Parks in the UK, but which one gives the BEST first impresions. The first impresion of diving in, to the then best first impression once you've walked through the gate.
