Beer Moose

  Hello and welcome to part 5 of my French blog series! This is the final part where we head back to The UK and mop up some creds along the way, nothing compared what we rode in part 4 sadly! Let’s fly through them then! Bagatelle:  My main take away from this park was the slow ops. 876: Spiral Express:  The only thing I can really say about this is that it’s a Soquet, so at least that’s something interesting.  877: Famous Jack:  Another spinning mouse, wonderful.  878: Triops:  Triops is one of the few remaining Invertigo coasters. Few were built and few remain, I’ve ridden all of the operating ones. They have a bad reputation being rough but I’ve actually not found any of them to be that bad.  879 Kidz Coaster: Marvellous. Plus one and done!  880 Gaz Express:  This was actually pretty decent, easily the best thing in the park!  Dennlys Parc:  A small park where you have to park across the road.  881 Nitro:  This thi...

Hello and welcome to part four of my France blog series! Part four covers my first visit to Parc Asterix, a park I had wanted to visit for ages but never quite got around to. We were expecting a busy park and therefore decided to buy an unlimited fast pass which turned out really well for us. The system works digitally and you basically book a slot to ride which lasts around thirty minutes. Let’s get to the rides!  Vol D’Icare 864:  I was expecting it to be rough as balls but it was actually pretty decent, winner.  Discobelix 865:  A well themed disco makes the plus one that tiny bit better. Pegase Express 866:  The first of the good creds here. This starts off well with some decent speed and drops. The second half isn’t as good and I was fully expecting a drop track which was actually a bit of effects and then a backwards section.  Cetautomax 867: We had a couple of rides on this as it was really good! Easily one of the best spinning coasters I have done. ...

Hello and welcome to part three of this blog series! You join us as we leave Jardin and take a stroll around Paris, a city I last visited as a child.   A short trip on the metro took us to Arc de Triomphe. Another thing on the list of things I’d seen hundreds of photos of but never seen in real life. I was expecting it to be really busy but actually it was fine. From here we walked towards the Eiffel Tower. As you can see we didn’t go right up to it, but I think we found the best view! It is quite impressive to be fair! If you do a 180 turn from this view you’ll see the Princess Diana memorial:  By pure accident we ended up doing a walk along the river Seine which scored us a UNESCO World Heritage tick!  It was a very picturesque walk but just look what was waiting for us…. La Pomme 863: See, they’re everywhere! This one had seen better days.  Cred ticked off we continued our walk and headed through the gardens of the Louvre, which featured some art of course!...
