Theme Park Roadtrip - Coasters, castles & other adventures

Universal Epic Universe, May 2025

We got jealous of all the people at the previews, so we made an unscheduled trip to Orlando for 3 days at Universal Epic Universe!

Making full use of our National Trust Pass with a trip to Quarry Bank Mill in Manchester.

Last stop on our roadtrip was at Legoland Windsor Resort. Will we get our coaster cred for Minifigure Speedway's blue track?

As we had a few days planned at Legoland Windsor, it made sense to stay on site, so we booked ourselves a night at the Woodland Village.

Thorpe Park was our heading for theme park roadtrip on day 2 and it was time for some big rollercoasters.

Roadtrip day 1. We hit the road for a long drive south. First stop: Chessington World of Adventures

Something new and chocolatey. We took our first ever visit to Cadbury World in Birmingham, and it was great!

We were at the Trafford Centre and hungry, so we took a visit to Archies for a bright pink dining experience

Part 2 of our Manchester Merlin Annual Pass day out was at the Sea Life Centre in Trafford Palazzo

Merlin Annual passes at the ready for a visit to the Legoland Discovery Centre in Manchester.
