My Theme Park aim this year...

This year, I have decided to visit all the Tussaud's theme parks. Starting at Chessington (because it is rubbish and for kids), then moving onto Thorpe Park - it's a nice sized one with uber cool rides and then finally finishing up at Alton Towers - the big scary one up North.

Rameses Revenge (Chessington World of Adventures)


I have been on everything at Chessington except Ramesis Revenge because no-one needs to do that much spinning. I mean look at it! *points to above picture* Not only do you spin, but then you're dangled over jets of water and are promptly soaked! So I'll be missing that one out.

Stealth (Thorpe Park)

My main aim this year is to get on Stealth at Thorpe Park. It looks like quite possibly the coolest ride ever. You're shot off at 80mph in 1.8 seconds, into a vertical climb of 205 feet, then over the top and straight down the other side! I want to go on it... Now! Thorpe Park opens 16th Feb, so... perhaps I will go then, but I was thinking maybe give it a week or two to get all the mechanisms used to working again. lol.

Oblivion (Alton Towers)

Then finally, I shall finish by going back to Alton Towers. Didn't manage to fit everything in last year because the queues were like 90 minutes at a time. Fuck that! But I decided that Nemesis was the best one there. It is a classic roller coaster! However, I plan to go on Oblivion. A nice ride which is a face first freefall... Basically you go along, and then the ride holds you over a black hole, then you just go! Weeeee!

I fear I may be very ill this year!
