If you only visit UK parks like BPB and Alton Towers all your life, because that's what you can afford, you're no less of an enthusiast than the people who travel all around the world every year to tick off all the boxes. The gatekeeping feels weirdly classist.

"You aren't a real theme park fan if you haven't been to X amount of parks" is such an insane take. I feel very fortunate to have been able to visit new parks this year, but apparently my numbers wouldn't cut it. Not everyone has that kind of disposable income.

Here's the Nemesis hatchling WIP when it moved. It can still lunge forward and look around, but sadly the arms and teeth don't work.
My Nemesis hatchling project is starting to look like something! 👁 🦀 Ft the signatures of John Wardley, @CreativeJohnB and Bianca Sammut, which I'm gonna hide inside the head ;)

Fun fact, this thing moves! Or it used to. I originally intended to film a fake toy commercial for it, but I left it so long that it stopped working properly. It could walk, lunge forward, and the teeth, claws and eye would move too. Oh well... at least I got these cool snaps.

TIL There's a Ravensburger theme park in Germany, and some the rides look super weird.

The pit beneath the queue line of Sherrif's Showdown at Drayton Manor might be the grossest thing I've ever seen in a theme park.

Finally got back to Drayton Manor for Gold Rush. A perfect headliner attraction for the direction the park has been heading in. Though sadly it only seemed to run 1 of the 2 cycles all day.

Spent a great couple hours at the vintage penny arcade at Woodbank Garden Centre. Huge thanks to Robert for showing us around his awesome collection! So many rare machines I'd never seen before, all lovingly maintained. Spot the bonus Wild Mouse 🐁 👀

Any frog fans on here? Reminder that my partner and I run an account for frogs in theme parks. We're most active over on Insta at themed.frogs. If that sounds like your kinda thing, go give us a follow! 🎢🐸

If I'm paying a premium for on ride photos, the last thing I want to see is a cheap ugly AI generated border that took someone 30 seconds to type into a prompt 🙄
