Clacton Pier

[Jake]

We'd already been here last year (and I went again this march) and the fakkin coaster was shut both times, so this time I rang the park before to check and they said it was open, and we had nothing better to do, so we thought we'd go back.

I must say, Clacton isn't AS much of a dump when it's sunny! (The town I mean... the pier is just as horiffic).


GHETTO:

GANG* RIDEZ:

The Go-Gator, which as usual, adults can't ride ;(

Finally the cred, Speedy Gonzales, which we can finally add to our counts!

We then got sausage and chips, a calippo, had a fag and came home. Oh, and the fit guys that worked in the chippy in March were still there <3.

Mouse themed big apples FTW!

Was so glad to finally get that thing done myself, it's a real hit and miss affair!

(Just had to put that in there as it's another lost ride I found a photo of for RCDB - it was posted by a guy who works there and I point Duane at it ).

It's actually a really interesting coaster. It's a hybrid side friction - Gravity Group were so late to the party!

^An Arrow and a Side Friction? That means we're missing approximately a little under... nothing

 

[marc]

Yes that is one strange looking coaster Furie.

The Arrow was fun, I was only 11 when I went on it lol. I sort of remember my mum and dad not wanting me to go on it. If only my mum could find the old pictures my dad took all them years ago. They contain rides that are not there anymore, not just at Claction but Alton, Thorpe and many other places

:lol: , just noticed that Arrow is the same coaster thats now at Särkänniemi in Finland. I didn't think much of it but would have prefered to have done it at Clacton on the pier.

That side friction coasters looks crazy, there is a short black and white pov on YouTube of it.

Yet if they were still there now, you'd have been on them

 

[Ben]

^Yeah, and they'd hurt! I can live without the two painful credits

Yay you finally got the cred <3 I'm hopefully getting it next week. I'm also going to go to the chip shop to stare at said fit guys. They were well lush =D
