Which European theme park to visit in December?

10 Upvotes

I have a long weekend off in mid-late December and want to book a theme park trip after just getting back from Europa Park a couple weeks ago. Which is best to do this time of year? I am considering energylandia, efteling and portaventura. Any others that would be worth looking at? Which would you recommend and why? (I've done phantasialand and plopsa de panne)

Rulantica solo?

4 Upvotes

I've booked myself a solo trip to Europa-Park for a couple of days in November as a treat for getting promoted at work. I have been to the park before, but this time I'll be at it solo! I'm there for 2 full days, and it occurred to me that I could also tick off Rulantica one evening while I'm there. I find it's pretty commonplace for people to do theme parks solo, but what about Rulantica?

Are there any slides I wouldn't be able to do? I know they have a few multi-person flumes that I assume I wouldn't be able to do alone, would they put me in with another group? I have heard of some water parks refusing to do this (I suppose it's one thing sitting next to a stranger on a roller coaster, but it's another thing being squished up with a stranger while you're in your bathing suits!)

Any other advice for my first solo Europa-Park trip would also be greatly appreciated! (Although I'm anticipating most of my time will be spent repeatedly going through the Voltron single rider line!)

Video Game theme park attractions

6 Upvotes

Hey, I'm currently writing a video essay going through the history of Video Game tie in attractions at theme parks. If anyone has any knowledge of more obscure attractions/experiences (doesn't matter how big or small), it would be super helpful to hear as I wanna cover all bases!

I'm aware of the main ones that are listed on the Wikipedia article, which I'm using as my starting base. If anyone has any anecdotes about their experiences or facts about those attractions, please let me know, it would be invaluable information! Additionally, I'm looking for attractions that aren't on that list that are in any way tied into a video game franchise, doesn't matter how obscure.

Coaster rankings!!

Hi I am new to the coaster community I only started getting into the community at the end of the summer and I have just made my first coaster ranking. I have been to the two universal parks in Florida as of 2022, I have been to Disney but I was like 6 so it does not count, I have been to cedar point but I had a very short day as well as steel vengeance was down, and my home park is Kings Island. I know the ranking is probably not the best but it. Mine and discussion or debate ( if civil is encouraged). Soon I will go to six flags feisty Texas as well as bush gardens Tampa where do you think soon of those rides will land.
