Pensioners spend £60K riding coasters across the World

Just read this article:

Good luck to them! What a great way to spend retirement.

Admit it, you facepalmed like a goon at all the little mistakes the article made!

Also, £60,000 for just 40 theme parks?
I know TPR trips are expensive, but the RCCGB is just taking the piss there!

I think that none of the captions under pictures was correct. Since when is Pacific Park in Canada? Apollo's Chariot is now operating in Florida? And similiar stuff...

Good old Daily Fail getting the captions wrong, what a quality paper

Seems expensive holidays (ECC was bad enough when I was with them) but they can afford it & what a great hobby, I hope I can visit more parks when I retire. Riding "Nemesis" 4000 times takes some doing.

20 years for 250 coasters? Lame.

This is the Metro's coverage of the story. Read the last sentence....

The picture that clearly has Busch Gardens Williamsburg written in big letters on the front of the ride and the caption that says Busch Gardens Florida made me laugh.

Didn't realise that in 1998 Oakwood was actually in West Virginia.

Those two make me want to die.
