What's new

Essex/Norfolk Credit Hunt

CF Legend
Originally intended for myself, Richard, Jake and Vadge but instead ended up being just me and Richard as the two gays had a little too much fun at pride.

Let the whoring ensue...

Clacton Pier
Finally got the pissing Speedy Gonzalez coaster on Clacton Pier after 3, yes 3, trips to that awful place. Rich also enjoyed a hurtful travelling Toboggan ride (photos when Rich can be bothered to post them)

Also included free with entry to Clacton Pier are misleading token signs, very very bad leggings and crap tattoos.

+1 credit for me, +2 credits for Rich.

Also tried to get petrol at a silly Tesco, the place was coned off but appeared to still be open so I got out and moved the cones, we went through, got told off as they were 'shut' for half an hour for a price change. Obviously Rich ignored this and tried to fill up anyway only to find all pumps either out of order or Pay at Pump only (not a Stone Cold friendly method of payment) and so we had to drive out with our heads hung,

Pettitts Animal Adventure Park
On the way to said adventure park there was much discussion about what our story would be to get in. Are we dying? Are we doing this for charity? Do we tell the truth that we are filthy whores? We went with we are doing this for a bet and it worked! We were allowed in and were met with a feeling of intense discomfort and awkwardness at the slow realisation that we were the only people in the park sans a five year old. Bad times.

We listened and could hear a clunkety lift hill chain and so followed it until credit number 2 for me and 3 for Rich appeared. The seats were very small and there was little fun to be had. Boring. We then met some pigs, goats, llamas, RACOONS! and lemurs. We then left for Hemsby Fun Park.

+1 credit for me, +1 credit for Rich.

Hemsby Fun Park

This is a dirty cramped ghetto place and the Caterpillar ride was extremely small. We proceeded to purchase tokens from the 'battleaxe' sitting at the token booth, handed them over and proceeded to be laughed at by the ride-op. We then left as soon as we could because
a) Hemsby is a dirty place
and
b) There were more ladybirds than in Denmark.

+ 1 credit each

On the way back to the car Rich asked me if I counted Snails at Joyland (Yarmouth) as a credit and I said I did and so we headed for the seaside to complete our whoring session. Bonus creds and bad parking were had by Rich, lukewarm hot-dogs and a feeling of smugness that I'd already got the cred were had by me.

Overall a fun day, another cred trip will occur some time soon no doubt. After next weekend it seems I will have conquered the east coast so I am on my way!

Glad you had a good time! Sorry for blousing, but I had the hangover from hell this morning, and Jake was pretty much dead. We also all didn't get in until about 9am. Eugh

Necroposting for the win!

First up on our cavalcade of joy was Clacton Pier. This is as near to a panaromic shot as you're going to get.


10029_287412075612_539310612_9152100_1286636_n.jpg

And this is the reason we came (literally, not figuratively). The Chance manufactured Toboggan. The most phallic coaster in the UK after Stealth.


10029_287412065612_539310612_9152099_5386034_n.jpg

WANT.


10029_287412150612_539310612_9152107_4944603_n.jpg

HAS.


10029_287412090612_539310612_9152101_6641167_n.jpg

The man was convinced I wasn't going to fit, but for a credit, I'll happily break my neck :)


10029_287412110612_539310612_9152102_4829955_n.jpg

It's fair to say that there was minimal room, the car design is appalling.


10029_287412130612_539310612_9152104_678748_n.jpg

The cars reminded me of Robin Reliants.


10029_287412120612_539310612_9152103_302212_n.jpg

Drop of death. These really are a once-only ride, I understand why Jordan didn't go on again.



10029_287412145612_539310612_9152106_2240876_n.jpg

Still, I'm glad I got the chance to ride it, I imagine it's heading for the scrapheap soon.


10029_287412175612_539310612_9152108_3629288_n.jpg

Nevertheless, it left me so disorientated that I started hallucinating.


10029_287412180612_539310612_9152109_4769013_n.jpg

Before I remembered that I was in fact just in Essex.


10029_287412185612_539310612_9152110_953101_n.jpg

Next was the Speedy Gonzales big apple, and for Jordan, it's third time lucky.


10029_287412190612_539310612_9152111_3665408_n.jpg

For me, just my second attempt.


10029_287412220612_539310612_9152115_5027442_n.jpg

Two credits, we didn't attempt the go-gator. Shame really.


10029_287412235612_539310612_9152117_5680437_n.jpg

Goodbye "worse-than-a-Volare-coaster.


10029_287412265612_539310612_9152122_7717627_n.jpg

On route to our next coaster, we needed some sustenance, and in true essex style, we were provided with...


10029_287412275612_539310612_9152123_4601079_n.jpg

Apparently, 60% chicken. 40% best left to your imagination.


10029_287412280612_539310612_9152124_6087827_n.jpg

Rumours. They'll start here.



Finally, after much chicken based hilarity, we arrived at...
10029_287412285612_539310612_9152125_2901546_n.jpg

(or more precisely in a car park 500yrds down the road from)


10029_287412290612_539310612_9152126_643928_n.jpg

Certain CFers, take note.


10029_287412300612_539310612_9152128_1040780_n.jpg

<3

The fences that is, that are keeping the filthy animals away from me.


10029_287412320612_539310612_9152130_2741571_n.jpg

Runaway Mine Train credit. Another vulgar and bumpy ride which was well worth getting, but would be another stake through the heart if you took credit whoring seriously.


10029_287412335612_539310612_9152132_3230781_n.jpg

There were owls, must resist urge...


10029_287412350612_539310612_9152133_4981304_n.jpg

SRSLY, I have to say, O RLY?


10029_287412370612_539310612_9152134_207221_n.jpg

Next we went here, to Hembsy Fun Park. Look at all these coasters, which we weren't here to ride, instead, we had the joy of...


10029_287412380612_539310612_9152135_2027831_n.jpg

A Mini Apple.


10029_287412390612_539310612_9152136_1222120_n.jpg

Hurrah, the last of our four scheduled credits, enough for me to allow myself a sort of smile.


10029_287412400612_539310612_9152137_5443215_n.jpg

Ladybird Coaster. Haar Haar.


10029_287412405612_539310612_9152138_3071058_n.jpg

Your coaster is: pathetic.


10029_287449520612_539310612_9152485_2381427_n.jpg

James popped in to say hello.

However, the trip suddenly took an unexpected turn and we ended up at...
10029_287412415612_539310612_9152140_8148435_n.jpg



10029_287412420612_539310612_9152141_3425799_n.jpg

Because Snails was apparently a coaster, even though rcdb don't list it. This is absurd as it's as much a coaster as Tyrolean Tubtwist.


10029_287412430612_539310612_9152143_4711418_n.jpg

The hedge making me look a thousands times less innocent that it was.


10029_287412440612_539310612_9152144_7531753_n.jpg

Children. Now availabie in plus sizes.


10029_287412450612_539310612_9152146_4697371_n.jpg

Bonus Credit not enough to make me smile.


10029_287412460612_539310612_9152148_4525058_n.jpg

Although, this numberplate made us both ROFL.
