Well, Got back from Thorpe Park late yesterday evening all exhausted after a wicked day out at what used to be a very boring, pretty crap theme park which has recently become fantastic! Left on sunday morning and went to go and meet up with some of my sisters friends as well as my mate shamayne and my brother as well. When we arrived there some random guy asked if anyone needed money off vouchers so Manie and I a bit bemused by this walked off to claim our tickets and head off into the park with the rest of the group. First ride we went on was Collosus, 10 looping world record thingy that was very fast, very funky and an all round winner. I suprised myself by going on it actually coz im a bit of a wus when it comes to rides and rollercoasters and stuff but it gave me a bit of confidence so i had no problem going on the other stuff in the park. Next up was x:/No Way Out, a backwards rollercoaster in the dark that was very very cool. Emma who came with us isn't too keen on rollercoasters so everyone was saying that it was The 4d cinema we had been planing to see. I however didn't catch on and ruined the "suprise". Meh, she still came on and it was very good with lots of weird mist, flashing strobe lights and the knowlege that you dont actauul have a clue where you're going. Excellent ride walked around for a bit and then decided to go on the detonater since the 4D cinema wasn't showing until half 2. I was very unconvinced by this ride and was dragged on by shamayne who later confessed "why did you talk me into this..." WHAT?! Still it was good but I found myself incapable of walking straight afterwards. You get taken to the top of a tower roughly 45 foot up and shot downwards only slowing down in about the last 10 feet. Scary and very stomach churning. Next was the Nemesis Inferno and I think this has to have been my favourite ride of the day. Funky effects, lots of speed and swingy, dangly feet. The fact I had a milkshake didn't help my nerves and left me feeling a tad ill but given half the chance I would have ridden that all day! Had a bit of dodgy moment however about halfway round when I found my brace nearly falling out of my mouth! hmmm...now that would have been very interesting I'm sure - especially for some poor person below me! Then we made for the ribena rapids, not as exciting as it made out to be but still it was fun nonetheless. Shame it wasn't a bit longer and a bit more rapidy but then you cant expect everything to be exreme in a family theme park can you now? Went on the tea cups and used all our girly strength to spin the car around but after a while gave up as our arms got tired! Made for the Tidal Wave, the highest water drop in Europe. As the boat plummetts to the bottom of the hill you don't think it's that bad but what you don't realise is that the water has just been thrown over your head and hovers as you travel through it, drenching you not only from the spray, but the Tidal Wave itself AND the backsplash, so all in all if you come off with any dry bits on you then think yourself lucky! Emma managed the best drenching since she tried to duck from the wave (Ha ha - YEAH RIGHT!) and got left with afro hair to die for! Went to 4D pirates which was cool. It involved, Pirates and weird close ups to things making them look like they're right in front of you wasps, spiders bats and a big log!) Effects of feeling whats going on were very odd but well done too. The last ride we went to was Quantum. A big magic carpet stylee ride like the ones you get at fun-fairs. Still it was fun all the same and was a good end to the day since none of us could be bothered to queue for anything that was any more dramatic than a bit of stomach churning. And so our day ended, and the final thing left to do was to go and waste a bit of money in the gift shop. (well it has to be done!) Overall it was a briliant day, the weather was great and we had a laugh. I'd recommend it to anyone. ::: logged by Fi ::: 13:35
