Our 2025 Plans: What’s Coming Up & Where We’re Going!

[@nataliebutton7344]

Ahh I’m super excited and rooting for you!! I think what would be a cool challenge would be to see how many times you could do the big one in one day… you could even make it more interesting and turn it into a fundraiser for charity and get sponsors? Obviously if that’s the case best to do it on a quiet day if possible!

[@coaster_dad]

Not gonna lie it had crossed my mind. I was toying with big one or grand national. But I’m not sure my spine could cope with a full day on the Nash 😂

[@nataliebutton7344]

@ Ngl my back started hurting just thinking about it 🤣🙈👍🏻 gotta be big one definitely… for Blackpool anyway!

[@benbradshaw1054]

Keep going buddy, getting fresh content out in the winter is a recipe for success! Always enjoy your content.

[@coaster_dad]

Thank you 🙏

[@AudreyMealiff]

Ahhhh, amazing Taron and ass-kicking Zadra!!!!! Enjoy!! I'm every shade of envious green!! 💚 😅😅

[@coaster_dad]

Thanks. I’ve seen the snow over in Phantasialand today so I’m kinda excited and nervous for this weekend. I just hope everthing is open 🤞🥶

[@AudreyMealiff]

@coaster_dad It will look so beautiful in the snow, and hopefully everything runs. Taron has a special place in my heart, that second launch is just sublime!!

[@dianneketler7128]

Come see us at Cedar Point! The french fries are on me -- they're legendary!

[@coaster_dad]

I really hope I can get something planned! 😀

[@clareriley]

Absolutely can not wait for this years content. If your at a loss you can always go across the way to the travelling fairs. Aims of the ghost trains in Germany look crazy. Xx

[@joeplatt4036]

Sounds kind an amazing year.I am beyond excited for 2025. Visiting plopsaland de panne, a big trip to Sweden/Finland (my first RMC) and finishing the year with Christmas at Europa park.

[@coaster_dad]

That sounds ace! I’m so looking forward to Europa Park, it looks amazing! 😍

[@arturobianco848]

have fun ddoing the ride and sweden and finland have some great coasters and fun parks.

[@Judventures]

Hell of a year planned that mate, can’t wait to see it unfold 👏🏻

[@coaster_dad]

Thanks bud. It’s gonna be a biggie!

[@AimeeLuLines]

All plans sound so good! What a fab year ahead! 🤘🏻 can’t wait to see everything and hope you’re having a great time in Fantasialand!

[@coaster_dad]

Cheers. I fly out in the morning and it’s -5 🥶 this could be really stunning of a terrible idea 😂

[@MrBranch69]

Great busy planned year ahead - I wish you and your family well and I look forward to the vlogs 👍 Hope you exceed your target of subscribers this year🤞 Take care mate 😎

[@coaster_dad]

Thank you 🙏

[@benspeed2819]

A great video as always mate 😁👍, sounds like you have a jam packed year and I’m sure it will be a great one 😊. Looking forward to seeing what it holds 😊👍😁 . I’m very excited for the challenge bud, should be a good one 😁👍. (I’m definitely going to win lol 😂🫣👍)

[@clareriley]

Oh and you will definitely smash your sub count target. Xxxx

[@coaster_dad]

Fingers crossed 😀

[@EVERYDAYGames00]

Been a great year all the best buddy you'll be deffo near 20,000 come the end of the year probably more be nice to see you out and about one day❤

[@coaster_dad]

Thank you. If you see me in a park please do come say hi!

[@TheCowboyOfEpic]

Our plans are sounding slightly similar! I'm wanting to do Energylandia, but that's up in there air for now - am working out costs at timings before committing!! I'm definitely going back to Phantasialand in November. (I was there last year the week before Wintertraum and I think there were about 100 people in the park on the Friday as everything was walk on with almost empty stations, so I'll be going back during that period again). If I'm sensible with money, I'm wanting to stay in Hotel Charles Lindbergh! I'm also doing Europa Park, but haven't even started thinking about dates for it yet! Also hoping to do Wales for a weekend for Oakwood, visit Paultons Park (last went when Peppa Pig land was quite new), and do the Merlin parks many, many times! I'm looking forward to all the videos this year! The 2 weeks in America will be great to see, I'm quite jealous!!!

[@coaster_dad]

Sounds good!

[@sampower1735]

Would love you to do more midway atrractions like in London and Blackpool

[@edmundandlucy]

First of all, loving the t-shirt Looking forward to content coming in 2025, hopefully got BPB planned for opening day, would be great to bump into you and other YT content creators. I'm not 100% sure but BP and alton towers have been known to open same day. Going to be a busy year it sounds like.

[@coaster_dad]

They are two weeks apart this year thankfully. But if you do see me, come say hi 😀

[@tommyp6627]

Litrally just been to enerylandia on my trip to krakow full line up not open but managed to ride zadra in the snow my first RMC well worth the visit had a great time

[@coaster_dad]

Ah nice, yeah I’ve done Iron Gwazi and Untamed so I wanna see how Zadra compares 😀

[@RossMuirhead]

Give the people what they want. A M&D’s video 🤣🤣🤣

[@coaster_dad]

Christ. You want to see me moan for 5 minutes? Oh wait that’s what I usually do 😂

[@RossMuirhead]

@ that’s your challenge. Timer on how long it will take you to moan about it 🤣

[@coaster_dad]

@RossMuirhead 😂

[@nicklowe536]

Going to be a fantastic year of content. I need to walk the big one what amazing views you will get. On a.simaler note walk the O2 if your in that London is amazing to do

[@coaster_dad]

I didn’t know that was a thing!

[@nicklowe536]

@coaster_dad it's fantastic you walk from one side to the other clipped on like you will be on the big one .at the top there is an obsession deck you can see some.amazing parts of That London

[@wildmarkappeard.]

exciting year ahead chris, see you stateside!

[@coaster_dad]

Looking forward to it 😀

[@alanscott-z1p]

Hi Chris what an awesome year you have planned, looking forward to a great 2025. I'm far to old to ride the coasters now but I get great enjoyment sharing your experiences. The work you put into your videos is obvious by the interesting in-depth content. Enjoy Germany 😊

[@coaster_dad]

Thanks Alan 😀

[@stevenbruce8422]

Need get over Tusenfryd Norway good theme park no uk vlog done yet

[@coaster_dad]

Interesting. I’ll take a look

[@bdm_scot]

If in NYC and nothing on plan perhaps a trip to ride Coney Island Cyclone been to NYC 3 times and always when the park is closed! Deffo on my future list, only an hour on the Subway from NYC.

[@coaster_dad]

It’s on the list. But if I can I’d rather do Cedar. Might do both 🤔

[@jayandkaifamilyreview6934]

Hiya, can you start at alton towers do 1 coaster driver to chessington 1 Coaster then legoland and end up in thrope park. Would love to see this 😊

[@coaster_dad]

Jesus 🙈

[@steveminor9932]

Would love to see a history of Draton Manor video. Would also love to see a visit/vlog from Brean leisure park, its z park i was former operations manager for when the cadells owned it & would love to see (properly) how operations have changed now. Brean doesn't really feature much for them park content creators although Shawn them park worldwide visited and was astonished by some of its operations

[@coaster_dad]

I’m curious about Brean because they have the old space invader ride which I never rode 😀

[@3443cookie]

​@coaster_dad Brean is a waste of time. We went April time 2024 and was dead multiple rides broken and as we had paid online could not get any refunds. Save your time, money and energy and don't bother.

[@steveminor9932]

@@3443cookie that's such a shame to hear 😔

[@davidwoods7720]

Thanks for this,hope to see you at BPB

[@coaster_dad]

Look forward to it 😀

[@mikekaraoke]

Enjoyed this video, glad you will be finally be getting out to Europa-Park 😀 Will you be going to Rulantica as well??? Also when you said you will be coming down south to London and go to Paulton's Park-ast time I checked it was in Hampshire there isn't a theme park in London lol And on your list where there are blank spaces, I saw someone put Tusenfryd which is a good park in Norway but I prefer Kongeparken, Hunderfossen + Familiepark IS shown in one of my fav films on Netflix Troll-sure you know of it but have you seen it??? Also how about going to Italy and go to Gardaland, Mirabilandia, Zoosafari Fasanolandia, or in Sweden-Liseberg, Kolmården Wildlife Park, Skara Sommarland! Denmark-The original Legoland-Billund, Djurs Sommerland, Dyrehavsbakken, BonBon-Land! I have a challenge for you, a food one-I challenge you to visit all Wimpy's in the UK there are 63 left so how abut a very decent 2 year time frame for it???? 😎🍔🍟🥛🍦

[@coaster_dad]

Waterparks normally aren’t my thing but from what I’ve heard you need to do Rulantica so I probably would As for the southern parks, I’m Scottish. Most things south of the border are “London” 😂 Loads of great park suggestions there so I’ll see what happens! Visit all the wimpys? I’d need a gym membership to go with it 😂

[@mikekaraoke]

@@coaster_dad In what way are Waterparks not normally you thing, and yeah Rulantica is great! No good excuse is it, I mean London is massive but can't get confused/or think it is in London with where Paultons Parks is 😂😂 That would be like me saying I'm going up north to go to The Jane Austen Centre which is in Bath 🤷🏻‍♂ lol No probs for the suggestions. Yes all the Wimpy's, well either get a gym membership or just go for very long walks afterwards as you won't go there to become a bodybuilder 🤣🏋🏻‍♀

[@coaster_dad]

@ 😂 To be fair when I work with clients and call places like York “down south” they usually look at me funny 😉

[@mikekaraoke]

@@coaster_dad LMAO can imagine 🤪 I mean esp with theme parks like Chessington, Thorpe Park, Legoland Windsor, Blackgang Chine, etc are all in the name that they are outside of London! So when you thinkng you may start this Wimpy challenge??? 😎

[@rebieroo99]

Hopefully will see you at one of them opening days. Ive seen youve been asked about disabled access in the past if you ever wanted to do anything about the likes of merlin, drayton or bpb id happily help

[@tonygold1971]

Going to 100 percent do Alton fireworks again this year and head off to Nemesis in the dark when everyone is heading to the display! Nemesis in the dark, on the front row with just my daughter and me on it was superb !

[@coaster_dad]

Ooooo sounds good!

[@tonygold1971]

@ To be totally honest I fell out of love with Alton Towers just after The Smiler opened and didn’t go for years, when my daughter started to get into enjoying coasters we ended up locked down but we did manage to get to Alton but she was still under ride hight and when she was tall enough we lost Nemesis to the re-track. This year she’s taller, Nemesis is back and we’ve spent a lot of time on the park this year (despite coming up from Kent) and despite downtime issues I have fallen back in love with the park and my daughter loves it for the first time! Wickerman is fantastic, Wickerman in the dark is mind blowing! I didn’t think the Nemesis re-theme was going to appeal to be and it’s been totally the opposite! My daughters first major ride was Mandrill Mayhem and now I can’t get her off Nemesis and the Smiler !! Love your channel, great content and if I bump into you at the Towers (or my nearest MAJOR park, Thorpe) the coffee is on me !

[@coaster_dad]

@tonygold1971 awesome

[@sampower1735]

More fun content!

[@kriss_b]

I will be at Blackpool this year after a season away, and plan to go to thorpe but thats it for this years park plans

[@coaster_dad]

Nice. Enjoy 😀

[@arturobianco848]

You done coney island and the coaster there? you can do them easy if you are staying in New York at least if you are in the city and not up state.

[@coaster_dad]

I haven’t and I’m thinking about it. Will depend if I do Cedar Point. 🤔

[@arturobianco848]

@@coaster_dad Though choice if you haven't done that one either. Wasn't really paying attention to what month it is you going states side. But during the summer CP gets incredable Busy so if you go there i would advise 2 days during that time or way overpay for fast passes (and they are f-ing expensive).

[@paulHarper-f3l]

Not jelly at all 😂 my trips for 2025 so far feb eftling easter Disneyland paris and parc Astrix may gardaland and movieland on lake Garda august energylandia October portaventura are the big trips have a Merlin pass so thorpe Chessington and Legoland whenever i feel like it Blackpool Drayton manor and Alton towers at some point at least once hopefully more definitely paultons park as i really want to try their new dark ride not quite as busy as you but will try to catch up

[@coaster_dad]

Nice! There’s a few on that list I wanna get to as well

[@HollyLynch-o5y]

Could you ride nemesis reborn all day for charity?

[@coaster_dad]

Interesting idea!

[@liesl7617]

Looking forward to travelling along with you. I'm holidaying in sight of Port Aventura again this year, but my daughter hates theme parks so it's a bogey I'm afraid. Gutted.

[@coaster_dad]

Aw man. That sucks 😔

[@liesl7617]

​@coaster_dad tell me about it! I took her last year and the only thing we went on was the train that goes round the park!

[@AudreyMealiff]

Could you organise a holiday club for your child for a day and head to Portaventura yourself? Shambhala is amazing!! You have to ride it!

[@liesl7617]

​@AudreyMealiff tempting! But she's 17, lol. My son (20) went to PA with his pals a couple of years ago and loved all the coasters, although they didn't do Red Force. I need to take my son for a cheapo few days in Salou to do PA properly!

[@coaster_dad]

@@liesl7617meh, 17 she’ll be fine. Just enjoy yourself, she’ll be by the pool all day 😂
