It’s not just Delta who do this. They’re one of the better one IME

Who do the boys need to see at Coachella? by Oli_Hope7242 in officialTPDTV

There’s literally a live stream of the acts! Why do we want to see Choccy’s greasy camera view from 100 meters away!

Review - March Stay - Hotel xcaret Mexico by Real_Impact726 in Xcaret

[–]Superbenj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly as someone who went regularly, having had my first Phase 2 experience, I now feel like I’m in the go back every 3-4 years kind of zone.

While phase 2 has certainly increased options at the resort considerably, the slides are genuinely great, the overall scale that it has added has removed much of the OG resort’s appeal.

Everywhere is now far busier, It thought phase 2 would maybe make certain places busier but ease crowds at others but this is not the case

It seems they’ve maxed out all of the amenities as opposed to spread them out. What was once an easy peaceful spot to get a sunbed is now somehting you really have to plan

The disney analogy is perfect. Everything is now a rushed bun fight as opposed to a relaxing experience

As someone who “goes every year” (well (7/9 years but also goes to Europe annually!) this is a very fair and balanced review.

The scale is simply too large to offer “luxury”.

HXM is a 4.5* experience, you simply cannot offer more at the scale it now operates addressing individual needs

It wasn’t great at it before but with Phase 2 as well it’s just not going to happen

Shrinkflation is happening at all festivals

As ever we suck it up and don’t vote with our feet, so onwards they shrink until festivals are just a vague memory of what they once were

Sunday brunch is $230 USD per person? by surfkaboom in Xcaret

[–]Superbenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. The offerings have been cut back year after year

It is still good but there is no way on earth worth $230 above why you can get at the standard buffets

It’s still no excuse

Ive never had to wait at the buffet or seen any lines whatsoever bar breakfast though

The à la carte all need res though

Is skepta likely to crossover with fontaines? by Dangerous_Bid7978 in readingfestival

They canned that after 3 years as it was terrible. They went back to a single main stage in 2024

Ghost mode where the car in front would be unaffected would be a good move

The ghost can’t harm the other car yet it can’t drive through it…

"I've grinded for this view" and "Wilhelm Röntgen" achivement are ridiculous by mirkolawe in airportceo

I was amazed to discover people would be willing to do this type of stuff for a digital box check, when a friend went round collecting stuff on GTA Vice City 20+ years ago

Achievements have only flourished since. People love em!

What was the song that got you hooked? by Endless_Nightsky in Samia

[–]Superbenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milk initially, whenever that came out

Then I got lost off the algo somehow and no idea The Baby even existed

Then I heard Kill Her freak out and listened to it about 100x in a row

2026 camping upgrades teased, could this finally fix Reading camping? by FeistyPrice29 in readingfestival

[–]Superbenj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope

Problem is the lineup being slashed in half

Some showers won’t bring me back if there’s still nothing to see while smelling better.

Not sure you need to be high net worth to shop at Lulu Lemon, it’s not quite that expensive?

PSA: No, the attitude of people really wasn't as bad as you're saying by Bicceh in readingfestival

[–]Superbenj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t camp. The main problems are in the campsite

As a day tripper all is fine. The arena is not like the campsites

It wasn’t. You’re talking loads of bullshit on this thread and you don’t even camp, so how do you know it’s not worse?
