^I concur with Ian. This trip needs to be reported on an awesome level, it was too good just to only say a few words. So I put together a massive PTR for you lovely peeps
I'll start by posting an embarrassing photo of Patrick easting a bagel on the train to Staines
We got to the park and it looked like it was going to be semi-busy. Luckily the crowds didn't really create long queues, makes a change. I thought it would be best to head to Inferno or Stealth first rather than Saw as it was already getting everyone's attention which left the rest of the park empty.
Stealth was first and we had to wait ages...haha, not really, it was walk on
Patrick also decided to get a drink from this vending machine. It decided that paying for one drink should mean you get two! Made it an even better start to the day.
Next up was Inferno which was also walk on
We both opted for back row. Here is a terrible pic of the station, the peeps you see in the pic were the only peeps in the queue (until we got back into the station).
Detonator was next. It was also walk on. We had already been on more rides than we did for the entire CF Live back in March.
Next we did Rush. We only had to wait about 5 mins and it was awesome, I don't think I've had the restraint so far away from me before, got major air time.
We then opted for Vortex. Which was in a mediocre mood. Some school kids were amusing.
It was then time for a drink and bench credit. We had only been in the park for an hour and we were already worn out lol. Here is us loving up the bench credit...
After sitting down for a refreshing drink we walked past collosucks and Saw which had the longest queues in the park (40 mins).
We went into Canada Creek for Loggers. It was wet.
Patrick got rather moist as he sat in the front of the log
I saw saw!
I then saw a duck eat a piece of chicken!
Next up was our favourite ride of the day...banana boat! The ride op was quite depressed but at the same time was quite amusing.
It was then time for Rumba Rapids. We got a little wet but not much. We also spotted Patrik (Ingested Banjo) and friends in the queue as we were coming back into the station.
We waited a little bit for Patrik and friends to come off and we all went over to ride Saw. This was Patrick's (Mission 2) first time on Saw, he loved it.
It was now time for food. We split up again so me and Patrick went to the Glass house in the dome, it was tasty and played awesome 80s tunes.
We then met back up outside Vortex, so here is a pic of Vortex. You love it.
Much to Patrik's disappointment the majority vote for the next ride was Flying Fish
Our next ride was Depth Charge. It had a 5 minute queue which was nice. We all got quite wet on it
We then went and did X:WTF which was good fun. I even shouted boogies out loud which then made this kid attempt several times to shout louder than me. I can safely say I won
Patrik and friends decided to do Rush but me and Patrick (you confused yet?) couldn't be bothered to go on again.
So we took random pics, here is a sample...
Patrick and I had to leave early to get to a film screening in London but we still had enough time for one more ride. We decided upon Saw because it's good.
Upon exit of said attraction we noticed the 30 sec sample video, it was amusing and surprisingly had superb quality. We said our goodbyes and we were off.
Had an awesome day, the sun was shining, the queues were short, the sun was shining and effects on Inferno were back
Great day!
