I’m really torn about this - on one hand it’s one of the most unique and mental ride experiences on the planet, on the other hand it absolutely beat me to shit 😢😂

I always have an issue with this. They don’t wear t-shirts in Europe yet I can’t ever find plain shirts to buy in the US. What NOT to Wear in Europe youtu.be/fHyVQlbwlJ4?si=Lbcm… via @YouTube

OK this would actually go some way to making up for it since Hammonds slaps

HMMMMMMM! 🤔 This could be lining up for when Mythos closes, making Thunder Falls Terrace a better dining experience. IOA currently lacks in the “finer dining”, so losing Mythos means we need another. Be cool to see it become Hammond’s, like in Universal Beijing! 🥩🦖

So lowkey this is why I still don’t rate TDR - its such a operation to get round it saps a lot of the fun out

今日のTDRすごい混雑だ 3月とはいえ 180分待ち越えのアトラクションが多すぎる 入園者数どのくらいで制限してるんだろうか しかもこの状態でもパスポート販売している 年パスあった時代と同じ入園者で制限したらそりゃあアトラクションは長時間になるだろうしどういう指標で制限かけるつもりなんだろう

It’s the ‘Pasta and Salad’ options without any pasta that I like most about this eclectic, world-leading food and beverage option ☺️

I’m not saying they’re without fault, but Merlin could be like ‘we’re giving every passholder £100’ and people would moan it’s not £101

If you travel anywhere - especially the States - and carry cash, I will judge you 😂

Call me old fashion, but I don’t like parks going cashless. Volcano Bay will be going cashless effective Feb 26th. Even if you use cash for a card, cash is still vital for many guests. I have friends from out of the USA who prefer to use cash.
