Recently The Wild Phantom took Mr Phantom and the Little Phantoms to Nickelodeon Land in Blackpool; it was the culmination of about two weeks-worth of pestering!
Apart from the extremely child-and-parent-friendly rides, the big attraction with this particular theme park for our Little Phantoms were the characters – Spongebob Squarepants and Dora The Explorer in particular.
These characters make regular appearances during the day in random locations around the park and it’s a mad scramble as children of all ages line up for a squeeze of their favourite cartoon stars and have their photographs taken by eager parents (and theme park staff!) to remain in perpetuity on a mouse mat or key fob.
Better Together

We love anything that makes us look at the world slightly differently and this week at Superhero HQ we came across Mike Wagner’s TEDx talk on ‘The positive power of being strange’ which made us laugh and also got us thinking too (always a winning combination).

But, according to Mike, being strange (in manageable chunks) is a really good thing as we are programmed to ignore the conventional and are more likely to respond to the different/crazy stuff that goes on around us. So……not only does being ‘strange’ give you licence to have lots of fun, but it is more likely that others…

Over the weekend we ventured out of Superhero HQ and headed for Southport where the sky was filled with the drone of engines and the coloured smoke billowing from the tails of the fantastic Red Arrows, the world’s premier aerobatic teams and the public face of the Royal Air Force.
Along with the rest of the crowd we looked into the sky and ‘ooood’ and ‘ahhhhed’ as the Red Arrows (in their 48th display season) demonstrated the amazing capabilities of their equipment and expertise. Their guiding motto is ‘Éclat’* which means brilliance and their mission is to act as ambassadors for Britain whilst enthralling, captivating and inspiring millions of people both in the UK and around the world and we were definitely not disappointed.
Teamwork
Whilst most people are aware of the fantastic Red Arrow flying prowess, at Superhero HQ we are also inspired by their approach to…
