IAAPA 2014 Round Up. All photos by Theme Park Review. Next up is kind of a weird one, B&M have decided to dive into the exciting world of family coasters! What would IAAPA be without the reveal of a few new train designs? Another trend rearing its head in the visitor attractions sector is a revisit to the nostalgic, and Gravity Group have pounced upon this by presenting an old fashioned Switchback coaster with a modern twist - this coaster is a wooden shuttle! Finally, White Water West showcased an innov...

12 Years A Slave. I really didn’t want. 12 Years A Slave. 12 Years A Slave. Would be moving into. Sadly, it was not to be. As a massive fan of Steven McQueen ( Hunger. 2011) I was saddened to slowly realise that this film would amount to barely more than two hours of human misery, with some added gore and predictable characters. It was almost tiresome to once again be presented with the same gruesome whipping scenes that anyone who has seen Roots. 1977) witnessed over almost 40 years ago on our screens!

A French Minibreak - Part Trois. The final part of our trip took us back to Parc Asterix, where I hadn't been since 2012 and Conor hadn't been since 1994! So the place was a lot different for him and for me it meant experiencing the park on a much calmer day crowd-wise. And it also meant riding Oz'Iris again to see if it lived up to my previous rides! Annoyingly I didn't take loads of pictures outside of the Oz'Iris area so I apologise for the lack of photos from other areas of the park! The day was very...

Director David Robert Mitchell is clearly a horror movie fanatic as there are nods to the genre pretty much the entire way through the film, from the synthy-John Carpenteresque soundtrack to the Cronenbergian linking of sexuality and disease/death to dramatically timed thunder and lightning to the excellently staged ‘climax’ in the swimming pool (Let The Right One In anyone? Conor and I decided to head up to Edinburgh for a fab Scottish sightseeing weekend. As we like to go away a lot we also used th...

Unfortunate, because the theming was quite nicely done! Subscribe to: Posts ( Atom ). Lover of theme parks, mother of bunnies and addicted to social media.

To start with, I was not mentally prepared for Into The Woods to be a musical. I hadn’t seen any trailers, only posters on the tube featuring fab Meryl, so didn’t really know entirely what to expect, only that it was Disney doing a fairytale mash-up, and I love me a fairytale mash-up! So when Anna Kendrick started singing about how she wanted to go to the festival a slow sense of dread crept over me. James Corden was going to sing. One of my absolute favourite scenes in the movie. No, so you can imagine ...
