Italia 24: More Plus 1s? Yep! Plus a Visit To Fiabilandia The Ride The Ultimate Plus 1!

After a great day at Mirabilandia, it was time to mop up some plus ones. If you’re bored of seeing photos of tiny coasters then fear not, you’ll also get to see the worst pint of Guinness ever and an amusing pig statue. Let’s get started!

First up was this monster:

Followed by:

This was sparking quite a lot, which added the fun! Next up was:

And then this:

Oh look something different!

Then we rode something half decent…

But that’s enough of half decent stuff, back to the sh*t.

With the plus ones done, we headed for a beer!

The Helles was actually ok. Check this out though…

It was very cheap, thank goodness, and when they brought it out we all just laughed.

The next morning we visited a proper park, Fiabilandia.

It is a bit prettier on the inside!

Weirdly, we started with a boat ride.

Then it was cred time! Red Mountain (746):

Next we rode the highlight of this park, Valle degli Gnomi (747). This is the first apple coaster and inspired all apple coasters (there’s a lot of them) that followed! Perhaps this is the ultimate plus one!

It’s even got a dark ride section!

We then rode the spinning mouse, which I forgot to take a photo of. Moving on to the Wild West section, where a animatronic man on a toilet was a real highlight.

Oh and Miniera d’Oro Del West (749).

With that we drove to Venice! Moose On The Loose - Venice, will be the final part of Italia 24!

I’ll leave you with the pig statue I promised you:

Thanks for reading.

Supermarket Weep - Lidl

It’s been a while, but Supermarket Weep is back! The series where myself and some ‘lucky’ guests, try supermarket own brand beer and beers brewed specifically for supermarkets. In previous episodes we all went wild in the aisles of Tesco and Aldi. Welcome to Supermarket Weep - Lidl. A piece of advice for you, don’t trust the terrible cupboard holders that these beers come in. I opted to go without a bag or a trolley and regretted that decision. The beers all fell out of the cupboard and onto the floor. I stuffed my pockets with some of the beers, which caused my shorts to fall down. A new low for me is accidentally exposing myself in a Lidl… Trolley to the rescue! Ignore than BrewDog, that was for something else! For this episode I was joined by friends of the blog, Dan and John. We kicked things off with Excelsior Lager, a French inspired beer. This was bad, like really bad. It’s a really watery beer, with a weird sweet taste. Awful. Next up was San Marti...

Phantasialand - My Happy Place

Using the phrase happy place makes me feel a bit cringe, but I don’t really know how else to describe how much I love Phantasialand. If I close my eyes and think about where I’d most like to be in the world Phantasialand and The Abbey come straight to mind, and I know which one I’d have more fun in at the moment! Ever since my first visit back in 2016 I’ve been in love with Phantasialand and it was time to return after a two year absence. I couldn’t wait for two full days at Phantasialand! We pick this up following Moose On The Loose In Cologne ( Link! ) in snowy Brühl, around 20km south of Cologne. The sight of Brühl Schloss greets you as you exit the train station: UNESCO tick! The next morning we made the walk from the hotel to the park, just before this walk I was convinced to join Strava! We arrived just before opening and received a golden welcome: The Berlin area Dragon Phantasialand has six dragons and now you’ve seen one of them! You may see more dragons later, but only i...

Moose On The Loose: Have I Found The Best Ever Crisp Flavour? Manchester.

Join me for another pub trip around Manchester! We will swing by some old favourites and potentially make some new ones! Really this is part one of the three part series, but part two is already released so let’s get to it! I headed straight for Track as soon as I made it off of the train at Manchester Piccadilly. Track is one of my all time favourite taprooms! I opted for the Aspern and Navigator. Aspern is a Vienna style lager and was really nice. Navigator is an Irish Dry style stout and whilst it was ok, I found it a bit sweet for my taste. Beers dispatched it was time for a trip round the corner to another old favourite! Sureshot is another brilliant taproom! What Did I Say Roy? A west coast pale that really hit the dream spot of lingering bitterness and refreshment. We didn’t have far to go for the next pint! Balance Taproom is almost next door to Sureshot! Balance specialise in fruited beers which aren’t really my thing, so I had a lager from Utopian Brewing. Ra...
