I'm wanna plan a solo trip to astrix

Couple of things...

1. stay on site orrrr stay at the say the airport and shuttle/taxi to from the park. the website is saying the last bus back to the airport is 30mins before the park closes...

2. what's food options like if your gluten intoleran? 😅 Oh and anaphylactic to nuts.

I’m trying to make a list of rides that include a scene or scenes where you go through a very normal looking room… any examples? This gremlins room looking like a square normal room has always stood out to me, other examples I can think of include the nursery in peter pans flight, and the spaceship earth moon landing room

Does anybody know if any rides are scheduled for maintenance on the Sunday 2nd of February.

Hey yall! I was thinking about this park as it holds a lot of nostalgia for me, but I got curious about how well their animals are housed. I was young when I went, so I wasn’t super concerned about it. I can’t seem to find much on it online, either.

They just sent this over. It looks fun. https://www.sknr.net/2025/01/29/universal-reveals-fan-fest-nights/

Hello friends! I’m working on building out a few trips this summer, but can’t seem to find park calendars yet. Am I missing something - or are they not published yet?

I’ve been specifically looking at Kings Dominion, Carowinds, and Six Flags America. Looks like BGW has their schedule published so that helps.

Thanks for any insights!

Hi can I ask if I can buy a bus ticket in enchanted kingdom going to Buendia?

Hello everyone,

On my mission to 365 Coaster (first time rides only) in 365 days I already managed to ride 25 coaster in Dubai. I m from Europe so I calculated to ride 60 rides per month in summer and less rides in winter. Unfortunate almost every park on europe with a few coasters are either closed or I ve already visited those parks (efteling, disneyland etc) I plan to go to Qatar in February for at least 15 counts - do you guys have any ideas how to save money on this trip ?

Hi! I am taking a b-tec business course and I need to evaluate the the attitudes, beliefs, values, and norms that Intamin encourages among its employees (Intamins corperate culture). If anyone has any experiences or anything they could share with me with regards to this it would really help me out and I would appreciate it so much. Thank you for your time 🙏🏽

So when I was younger my parents took me to a theme park and in this theme park we went on a ride that’s on the water and I think you’re in a boat, so this ride I can’t remember where it is I think it’s in Germany but not sure.

So this ride takes you inside and you’re between two cliffs and above one cliff it seems like a boulder is gonna drop at you and I was terrified when I first saw this so now I am tryna look for it again :)

My wife and I are going to head down to SoCal, possibly September, after Labor Day sometime? It’ll be our second time at Disneyland but I’ve been a theme park fan for many years and now that we are on the west coast and have expendable income, it’s finally time for me to experience more parks!

The other 3 parks I’d LOVE to visit on this trip, since I’ve been dying to visit them for years, are Knott’s, Universal Hollywood, and Magic Mountain

If we stay near Disneyland or Knott’s (since they are fairly close to each other), is there an easy way at all to be get to Universal and/or Magic Mountain from that area of the city with no car?

I realize that taking an Uber from the Disneyland area would be INSANE and expensive for both of those places, so I was wondering if there was one of those tourist buses that shuttle people to further away attractions in the area (we lived in Florida for a while, and we know that places like Orlando/Tampa have shuttles like this)

We’d love to be able to avoid renting a car and driving there at pretty much any cost lol

If there isn’t anything like this, we can absolutely accept just doing a JUST Magic Mountain/Universal trip sometime in the future but it sure would be handy and fun af if we knocked out all four of these parks in one trip 🥲

(we don’t get to travel a lot, if that wasn’t apparent by the fact that I want this to be a PACKED week 🥲🥲🥲)

idk if to post here but r/rollercoasters does not allow polls

Hey guys. What’s your favourite flying theatre attraction? I recently went back to Fuji-Q Highland and rode Fuji Airways for the first time since 2018 and it had me wondering which flying theatre/theatres people liked. So my answer is going to be Fuji Airways and Sky Voyager (at Dreamworld in Aus), both Brogent iRides. Let me know which ones you guys like. I’m genuinely curious.

Hey guys,

We are from Central Europe but love travelling to SEA frequently. We love all things weird & dark tourism, so I was wondering what your favourite haunted house attractions are.

Thanks!

Hello! I am in a class called AP Research, which is a 9 month research project. I am doing my research on theme park disability passes. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to answer some questions about any disability pass at any theme park. I would also love to talk with anyone who has a disability, because that information is also valuable. If you would like to help, please message me. Thank you so much!!

In CA, USA, does it have to be same day purchase buckets or do they even offer it?

Aside from convenience of entering the park and as a room key, are they worth it? Do they add to the rides?

we're going back down south to visit my fam but we're planning to take my late dad's bday as a fun day to do something together. I'm torn between universal or magic kingdom - he's never been to either.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Orlando 26 April (Sat) to 3 May (Sat) this year. It'll be our first time.

We've done all the other Disney parks and this will be our last one, but I've heard WDW is a whole new ball game and have no clue how to plan it so we don't burn out! We'll be doing 4 days WDW, 2 days Universal. We'll be doing the unlimited express at USO, and LLMP only at WDW.

We were originally thinking 26/27 April weekend Universal, then (staying at Pop Century) 28 (AK + MK after hours), 29 (Epcot), 30 April (HS) and 1 May (MK). But now I'm worried about a few things..

(1) will we be burnt out from 6 consecutive park days (we did both Cali parks rope drop to close 2 days in a row 2 years ago, could've done one more day probably but can't imagine 6 days of that)? We don't really like leaving parks in the middle of day for pool time / naps so that probably won't be an option.

(2) would it make more sense to build in a resort day after MK after hours since that doesn't end til 1:30am? Do people typically do full park days following after hours? Epcot after 5 hours of sleep doesn't sound so great..

(3) ending with USO seems to make more sense since it'll be less tiring with the express pass. Should I swap things around and do WDW first even if that means having to do WDW on a weekend? Are the weekend crowds bad in late April / early May?

(4) Multiple people have told us its best to start with Epcot, which obviously doesn't work with the MK after hours, so swapping things around seems to make more sense.. potentially to 27 Epcot, 28 AK + MKAH, 29 HS, 30 MK? How would you distribute the 6 park days across the 8 full days we have? We do want to save a half day to hang around Disney Springs and also a separate day to go kayaking at Meritt Island National Wildlife Refuge / check out East End market etc.

Thank you! This is all so overwhelming lol
