As I had some days to spend with my dad, before my studies at the University of Portsmouth would start, we decided to have to visit to the nearby city of Brighton. Here, for the most part we enjoyed a walk on the promenade and had a view onto the British Airways i360 – the large observation tower at the sea front –, which we skipped due to the high ticket price.

Who would have ever believed to see the last Mack Rides log flume to disappear from the German fair circuit and yet it is. Since my childhood, Meyer/Steigers log flume Wildwasser dominated all fairs in Northern Germany and of course most of the other parts of Germany as well with its stunning backdrop and the great double drop finale. Let’s see where Mellors will place the Grande-Dame, maybe we will see her again in Skegness in some years.
While Wildwasser shows up for the last time, the VR dark ride Dr.Archibald Master of Time had its great premiere. Sadly, it was broken on my day of visit, but Mr.Greier did a fantastic job on the decoration of the ride. You can hardly tell, that this ride used to be the Geistertempel/Geisterhotel ghost train in its former life.

Attractiepark Slagharen in Slagharen nearby the Dutch-German border is a medium sized theme park and holiday park, which started as a pony park by the Bemboom family in the early 60s. Due to the rapid success of the holiday park, some fairground attractions were added in order to entertain the park guests further. With time, the park quickly developed into a theme park featuring the first looping roller coaster in the Netherlands. Today, the park is operated by Parques Reunidos.
Fun Fact: The Bemboom family were the first to operated a number of theme parks across Europe. In the 80s they took over the historic Dreamland theme park in Margate, England and operated the long forgotten Freizeitpark Kirchhorst nearby Hanover, Germany.
