You can walk round the whole place in about ten minutes but they have managed to pack in quite a lot.
Here's the view from the first ride - a big swingy, wurly thing.
and they had one of those straight up and down things too - the view from the top was fantastic - for the half second it lasted as you plumet back towards mother earth!
The second most frightening thing actually turned out to be this 50yr old wooden roler coaster
It looked so quaint - and olde worlde wooden roller coaster, we had to try it out just for the historic value
Here's Noo and Terry enjoying the the calm before the storm - what made this so terrifying was the violence of it - I'd swear in a couple places it actually jumps off the tracks and lands back on them again - that together with the fact that if you dont hold on to the bar you'll get thrown out of the thing made it one of the best "thrills" in the roller coaster world.
I forgot what they called this one but it was obviously invented by someone who wanted to know what it would be like to be strapped to the end of a modern windmill mill blade - only three of our lot went on this cos you had to pay extra
Brave soldiers....
Noo and I thought the "skyride" looked more fun. Think, really big swing. Two people dangled on the end of a wire which they then winch right up (like 100ft up) so the wire is horizontal
Then one person (me) pulls a release lever and you just fall for a couple seconds before the wire goes tight and you swing all the way up to the other side, stall and back down
Let me tell you.... it was scary! Pulling that release thingy took a lot of doing dangling face down 100ft above the concrete! It was fun though :-)
The survivors
All in all a brilliant day - I had to go home and lay down cos my body just wanted to STAY STILL! Surprizingly good for such a small park.
