My First Blog

 Welcome to the first DKS Theme Park Blog 

 I’m Dhillon and I’m a theme park enthusiast and have been for many years. My love for theme parks first started when my parents would take me to theme parks when i was younger, but it was a trip to Alton Towers in 2017 with my dad that would change everything. After my visit to the park and my first ever theme park hotel stay, i became so invested in theme parks and began learning everything about them. From ride models to manufacturers to the different ride types, I learnt everything i could about theme parks, rides & attractions and that’s when i became an enthusiast. Ever since, I’ve visited multiple theme parks every year, learnt even more and made friends within the community from it. This is why Alton Towers is one of my favourite theme parks in the world. It’s not just about the park, it’s how without it I probably wouldn’t be who i am today and that makes the park so special to me. Some of my favourite moments being a coaster enthusiast include riding Hyperia for my first time, meeting so many theme park content creators, and visiting the Universal Studios Orlando Resort for the first time in the summer of 2024 which felt surreal! I’ve actually started this blog for my Duke Of Edinburgh award, but hopefully i will continue with this blog after the award is complete.

Here’s some facts about me (as of 19th August 2025): 

My Favourite Coaster: Velocicoaster
