USA 24: Christmas In June? Tedious

USA 24: Christmas In June? Tedious - Holiday World

Those who know me, know that I have no interest in Christmas or any other holidays really. I have no need to make effort for them and would rather work them. In the last ten years I’ve been off at Christmas twice. What on earth was I going to think to a theme park themed to Holidays? Feels like two worlds at opposite ends of my spectrum colliding!

Turns out, it is a really nice park.

We started with Legend (685).

I got to ride it twice during our visit, both front row! It was really smooth, fun and had awesome lateral forces.

Next was Raven (686).

Raven is the shortest of the wooden coasters here, but is still good fun. I enjoyed how it races through the woodland!

Next up was the big one! Voyage (687).

It’s insane. We rode it several times and I just couldn’t remember the layout! I loved it! I did think it was best at the front, at the back it was slightly rough. The first drop is something else at the front!

The park’s newest coaster, Good Gravy! (688) was next.

Yet another tedious family boomerang.

Launched B&M anyone? Thunderbird (689).

It was really good! Almost invert like forces. Up there with the best wing coasters I’ve ridden.

With only one cred left to get we decided to get some festive food, which is the only thing I like about the holidays.

It tasted better than looks!

We then picked up the plus one. Hurler (690)

We also rode this classic. It’s only the second one of these I’ve seen, the other being in the historical section of Oktoberfest.

Great fun!

We then grabbed some re-rides and headed to our hotel for a beer.

Thanks for reading!

Smile Like You Mean It: The Story of My Friendship With Rach, Mental Health and Our Latest Adventure.

I’m very fortunate to have great friends in my life, I don’t think you can put a value on good people. People who have your back, make you laugh, pick you up if you need it, advise you, complement you and at times challenge you. I’m not a great lover of texting or messaging, because it just isn’t the same as being together in real life. To me, a sign of a great friend is someone you can spend weeks or months away from, but when you do meet again, it’s like you were never apart. People come and go, the best people stay. In 2011, whilst at secondary school, I was elected to Sports Council. At this time I was failing to accept that my rugby playing days were nearly over. I have a lifelong problem with my back, it was getting worse. I was seeing two physios a week, hours of laying on my front having my back looked at, coupled with loading up on whatever pain relief the Dr would prescribe me. That was all to try and get through the rugby matches. Eventually, my consultant, Dr Jenner, told

The Best Of Bedford: Three Mirages In A Beer Desert

One of my best friends lives in Bedford and thus I spent a fair amount of time in the market town turned commuter town. It’s not a bad little place, of course it has some issues, the riverside is very much a delight. What isn’t a delight is the beer scene. Bedford’s beer scene is dominated by mediocrity, in the forms of generic Green King and Charlie (formerly Charles) Wells pubs. Even the latter’s new brewery complex, Brewpoint, doesn’t make it onto my Bedford beer shortlist. I’ll file that place under nice place, shame about the beer. There are however three places actually worth visiting, let’s get to it. BeerFly A beer shop with six taps, occasionally one cask and multiple fridges that showcase the best craft beer available. BeerFly is the standout beer venue in Bedford. The range of beer served here is nothing short of impressive. From sours to lagers and imperial stouts, BeerFly has something for everyone. The Wellington Arms A sister pub to The Live in Cambridge, The Welly i

A RADical Improvement To The Cambridge Beer Scene: The Rad Preview Night!

It’s so good to see Cambridge’s smallest pub back open! I was invited to the preview night and had a great time. For most of my drinking life, this pub was fairly rubbish. The beer, although cheap, was terrible. Most of it came from a brewery, which no longer exists. I don’t miss it. Enough about rubbish beer though, what’s the new Rad like? Well, in my opinion, it’s just what Cambridge needed. The beer scene in Cambridge is sadly dominated by Greene King, there are too few places where you can get both a good range of beer and beer served in good condition. The Rad had one of the best ranges of beer, I’ve seen in ages. There was literally something for everyone. From sours, to various types of IPA, impy stouts, lager and bitter! There were some preview night teething issues with the beer screens, but it’s so good to be able to see the beer list, style of beer and strength so clearly! The condition was excellent, as expected. I sampled beers from Marble, Two Flints and Anspach &
