Nick is joined by Adam for a packed episode of Nick's ERT , diving deep into the latest theme park news from the UK, Europe, and beyond. Adam is gearing up for his second visit to Epic Universe , and the pair discuss what makes a return trip so exciting — and what Adam is most looking forward to experiencing again.

Elsewhere in the UK, they chat about Bluey's continued theme park expansion at Alton Towers Resort , and take a look north to Blackpool , where a dramatic new Gyro Swing ride is set to change the skyline. Internationally, Nick and Adam discuss the newly announced LEGO Space coaster planned for California and Florida , and ask the big question: should something similar come to Windsor to help compete with Universal's expected UK arrival around 2031? They also touch on guest experience concerns at Busch Gardens , questioning locker charging policies, before finishing in Paris with thoughts on Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris — including excitement around its upcoming Frozen-themed ride .
