💦 11:50 AM | Buffalos Falls | “Not So Wet” water slide with the best airtime in the park.

🏰 11:05 AM | Ghostly Manor | Never seen a ride system like this—really impressed! More parks should build a version log this. Scored 89,900. RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎢 10:50 AM | Farmyard Flyer | All Paulton’s coaster credits cleared in under an hour. Farmyard Flyer wraps it up—a solid little family ride. Hard not to admire how well even the simplest attractions are themed here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎢 10:35 AM | Dino Chase | Wrapped up the Paulton Dino Trifecta with this one. It’s a kids coaster, but hey—a credit’s a credit. RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 25

🎢 10:30 AM | Velociraptor | Another walk-on this morning! A charming family boomerang coaster tucked into a well-done dino section at Paulton’s. RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎢 10:20 AM | Flight of the Pterosaur | Walk-on. Smooth and nicely themed—feels like the midpoint between old-school and modern Vekoma. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

🎢 10:10 AM | Cobra | Walked right on at Paulton’s. This bobsled coaster packs a punch—huge laterals and surprisingly fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #TheAmusementShark #PaultonsPark

🎢 10:00 AM | Cat-o-pillar | First riders of the day on this hybrid animal-themed kiddie coaster. Definitely not built for adults—but credit secured. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 25

🎢 9:50 AM | Storm Chaser | Kicked off the day at Paultons Park with ERT on Storm Chaser thanks to Buzzed Bars! Totally fun and caught me off guard with its intensity.

2:20 PM | Room on the Broom | A charming little walk-thru with some light interactivity. Super cute and genuinely unlike anything I’ve seen before. RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

2:10 PM | Zoo | Some construction suggests improvements are coming, but for now it’s a basic animal walkthrough. Still, cute critters and it’s included with admission. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

🦒 1:50 PM | Zoofari | Short but decent. The “cave” section—aka metal shed full of diesel fumes—might need a rethink. RATING: ⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

1:30 PM | Tomb Blaster | Scored pretty low, but the ride itself holds up. Feels a bit dated, yet it’s longer than expected. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

11:25 AM | The Gruffalo | A charming little water-based dark ride. The tiny rafts make it feel extra cozy. Audio hard to hear, but still a good experience. RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

🎢 10:45 AM | Mandrill Mayhem | Better than expected. Tons of hang time and the launches delivered enough. Getting in line for a second lap now.

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

🎢 10:30 AM | Dragon’s Fury | 15 minute wait for round two—this one’s too good to ride just once.

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

🎢 10:15 AM | Rattlesnake | Classic wild mouse layout, but the theming gives it a bit more to enjoy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

🎢 10:00 AM | Dragon’s Fury | 5 min wait. Rope dropped and lucked out with an unbalanced ride for insane spinning! Among the best of its kind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 24

🎢 9:20 AM | Vampire | Buzzed Bars ERT at Chessington kicked off with 3 laps on Vampire. Laps in the middle, front, and back. Theming carries this one, and those suspended floorless trains flying over the midway are the moment! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 23

🍔🥤 4:50 PM | The Pheasant Inn | Bacon cheeseburger w/ chips, salad, slaw + an Alpaca Lypse IPA. $35 total (USD est). Big portions, great chips, slaw above avg. Burger needed seasoning or sauce. IPA was standard, but the glass art was a cool.

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 23

🎢 2:25 PM | Minifigure Speedway | 5 Min Wait | Took a spin on the blue side this time. Still a strong ride, but red has the edge. Either way, it’s a win. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 23

🎢 2:10 PM | Minifigure Speedway | 20 Min Standby | Assigned the red side—smooth and snappy. The backward lift hill gives a solid view. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheAmusementShark (Doug) @theamusementshark.bsky.social · Jun 23

Dove into Deep Sea Adventure after a 15-min wait. Kids dig it, but it feels like it never quite dives below the surface—short and leaves you wanting a bit more. ⭐️⭐️ #LegolandWindsor

🎢 1:10 PM | The Dragon just reopened and we walked right on—smooth ride with some nice laterals. Solid family coaster.
