Ride Count (Over the two days):
Oblivion x10
Nemesis x3
Air x2
Th13teen x1
Sonic Spinball x1
The Flume x1
Congo River Rapids x1
Hex x1
Our Accommodation:
We stayed at The Chained Oak B&B which is basically a stone throw away from the park itself, you could here all the early riders on oblivion from my room. Its a lovely place to stay, nice rooms, it has a football pitch and a trampoline which was really good if we got bored at night. We walked to the park everyday, saving the ridiculous £6 car park fee.
Saturday: We took the 10 minute walk to the park, which took us right to the normal entrance instead of the monorail, which wasn't running so people were walking to the main entrance. We first walked over to Sonic Spinball, and queued 30 minutes but we all knew that the queue would get worse later. (80 minutes long at 4pm) After that we managed to get two rides on Oblivion, queuing around 15 minutes for both. Then we went over to The Flume and the River Rapids, leaving us soaked for the remainder of the day. Next we went and did Nemesis twice, then the plan was to go and ride Sub-Terror, but the queue was out of the line, so we said we would go there first thing tomorrow. We finished the day with a ride on Hex and Air and then went out for dinner.
Sunday: We ran over to Sub-Terror, and got there before it opened. Then we waited 40 minutes only to be told, they were experiencing lighting problems, a part of me was expecting to get a fastrack but we didnt get one. We walked over to Air instead only to find that the queue was out of the line, so we bought the Scream fastrack (One ride on Nemesis, Oblivion and Air) so we could get right to the front. Next we took the cable car over to Rita, to find that it was having problems and was closed, so instead we queued 30 minutes for Th13teen, which i enjoyed. Then we walked over to Oblivion and we planned to use our fastrack, but we didnt need to as it had started to rain and there wasn't a single sole in the queue. We managed 6 re-rides on Oblivion, eventually stopping to have something to eat. Next we went over to Nemesis which was busier than the day before, so we used our fastrack and got on at the front. Then for our final ride of the day we went over to Oblivion to use our fastrack, and again there wasent a queue, so we ended up riding twice and then headed back home.
Summary:
Fantastic day out with Family and Friends, queues were better than i had expected. Gutted that we didnt get to do Rita and Sub-Terror, but we have already booked again for next year.
Top Tip: Have your lunch at around 2-3ish, rides seem to be dead at about 12-2.
My friend and me on Air! (You can probably tell which of the 4 people we are :lol: )
