Hi, I went to southend today to grab some pics, i hope you enjoy them. It was a typical bank holiday and the sun wasn't shining and no site of the sun to be seen. Welcome to English Weather. We have to put up with this all the time. Anyway, Adventure island is a small park which was a lake but then they turned it into a theme park-ish fairground. The main ride is Rage, A 2007 EuroFighter. A very intense ride for the space it has! Twisty aswell! I see the park Mini Mega is up and running Was a very busy bank holiday monday with lots of bikes down at the seafront. I don't know why they call it a seafront when its the river thames. And you can see kent on the other side. Traffic was bad! Good thing we took the train. THe pier, which is the longest pier in the world! The go karts. The quiet side of the park. The otherside is the main side really. I see you Mini Mega! Evil Death Machine! THe Dragons Claw! Argh, I am Egyptian and i will EAT your BRAINS!!! No, his brains are for I to feed on! oooooooo...i am a ghost...be quiet or i will eat both of your brains! ok HIGH and MIGHTY!!! I like the looks of the new Mini Mega station, another day i will ride it...another day. Barnstormer is a great family coaster! Up the lift hill Round the corner Don't be mistaken this coaster picks up speed in the valley section! Back to the station Scorpion, a good flat ride! the scull really wants revenge dosn't it. no comment Rage, a Gerstlauer EuroFighter. Very forceful for it's size! And The Ride Is Twisty! As rob would say.lol snake slides Ooooooo ahhhhhh Even though i have ridden Rage a million times before today the first drop really took me by surprise. I forgot how steep it was! The best and only loop i have experienced! A really good ride. This waterslide garuntees you a wet bum! Vortex, another good flat similar to Scorpion. The new dark ride, I didn't go over the hill today... But I have ridden it before and it scared the hell out of me! This Turtle swing does dry your bum after the awesome waterslides! A very compact park! Green scream-A coaster themed to an alligator throwing up after having a few too many drinks. I love Rage! Even though there was a massive queue it went down really quickly. Almost! More twistyness! Helix! Twistyness is good! I believe Rage was crowned the best roller coaster in the UK according to Blue Peter. Came above Colossus and Kumali! I see skys of blue... A rollercoaster tooo!!! twisty track A lift hill of 90 DEGREES!!! More than vertical drop! Fireball replaced my peter pan ride!!!!!! More Scorpion mmmmm....Donuts To be honest i have never seen this thing before! A big wheel ( not as big as the crazy foreign ones! THe new arcade below the newly painted mighty mini mega. More rides Mini Mega THe evil house! You come out of this thing with bruises from runninng into walls inside. Fun, but it hurts. Train that goes round in a circle. Adventure island must have been desperate! American whip. Having fun! Light house slip The best place for pictures See??? Pretty much the whole park. You can see how they squeezed all the rides into this tight space. Village of population eaten! If you forgot where we were. A resturant they consider 'posh'. yeah this place is really posh when they are below a radio station and above public toilets! If you want the best donuts in the world go to the three shells just out side the park by the beach... Yes there is a beach here! sort of I would just like to salut all the guys out there who make these amazing TRs. You guys are legends! I now realise how much time it takes to sort these photos out. My computer crashed just when i finished the TR so i had to restart the whole thing. Hopefully this time it won't die on me! But yeah, thanks for amazing pictures of parks and entertaining us when we have nothing to do. That was a great day at adventure island. The park really lights up at night and Rage is awesome in the dark! I really think this is an amazing park. Video_Rage.AVI Here is a video of Rage From today, Enjoy.

Off all the coasters i have ridden, and i have not ridden that many: Wood: Big Dipper Blackpool PleasureBeach Steel: Rage Adventure Island

Nice pictures! PhantasiaLand is awesome! Everybody knows that!

I'm SpeechLess!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! I love the pics of Kraken and Montu. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

O love the pictures. Sea World is now officially amazing and i just can't wait to visit! but sadly i have no time this year to go to florida because i don't have the time. Maybe next year. But this year i can look forward to Blackpool and Alton Towers! Can't Wait! My First B&M!!!!!

I'm looking forward to some new rides being plotted arounds the world in 2010. This should be good and the one at the other park aswell. A unique coaster liike this is just what I need to get my mind off of Intimidator! (no offence it's just been posted to much and it has got a bit annoying, but still it looks like an awesome coaster!)

I swear The start of lifthill goes straight out of the station!!! This ride looks immense!!! Ace Of Cakes are Legends! A coaster cake like this is awesome and it goes around the track and through the cake!! I can't wait untill it comes on TV where it shows you how they made it. I'm guessing $6000!

POV!!!!!!!!! I'm DESPERATE!!!!!! I love the idea of the shelters to keep the riders dry! 'Infamouse weather'

Where is the kobra located??? Because when I went to BeanoLand (RIP ) There didn't seem to be any space for the kobra to go. And the Kobra is MASSIVE!!!( as it looks in the pictures)

Bringing out a new type of drink is very risky. If loads of people don't like it it it would bring part of the 'MAGIC' down!!!!

No Loops??? If I counted right there were only 4 inversions. A loop would be nice after the first drop. I love the first inversion over the station (nice and twisty)

First Park: (to be) Blackpool Pleasure Beach First Coaster: Pepsi Max Big One (to kick off unfinished buisness! ) First new theme park: Alton Towers New for 2010: Th13rteen!

Thats an interesting POV of mummy! Is it the same as all the other Universals???

nice pics.where ever you go now you always find pictures of intimidator.

Even though there is transport AROUND parks it's interesting to see transport TO a park. At Oakwood there is a Train you have to get on to go from the car park to the entrance which takes you round fields and stuff (i've never been Oakwood i just know ) So what types of transport is there to your local parks or your favourite parks??? Are they interesting???

Hmmmm, 2012 could be a spinner like Tornado and there can be massive effects. Personally I would like to see a James Bond themed B&M (Invert or Hyper) it would be awesome. And in England because that is where it is made and also because we don't have many B&Ms in England. WE NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!

Nemesis Inferno (the sister of the Legend ) and Colosus because I was afraid of going upside down. I didn't ride Stealth or X because they were closed. Saw was still being built.

To be honest, i've never ridden an invert! But My first Invert will be the SLC at Blackpool i'm crying because a few days later I will be in Alton Towers and riding NEMESIS and i wanted that to be my first one. But I don't want to miss out on Infusion at blackpool because it is a blackpool coaster.

I know this sounds silly but i like the floor in the main plaza. I think this is a really big hit for Carowinds. But really when did this whole intimidator thing get the american coaster theme??? Really i don' see why it got the theme, really they could have got a better theme! But it does do its justice.

Yeah, what she said All the ops did was take your bags and dumped them on the other side of the station. You could choose where you wanted to sit.

Neat! Paint on the cobra roll isn't looking it's best. Still a great ride! I've always wanted to ride montu! Some Really Good Photos!

Great TR! Is it just me or does it look like all the coasters have had a new paint job??? (aka loch ness monster)

Great photos! it's nice to see some photos of the area and the station instead of the ride. But then half the ride is hidden in the forest so what choice do you have??? I will be visiting int eh summer and i can't wait to ride my first B and M!!!! A rapids ride is normal in march! However, ever tried rumba rapids at thorpe park on fright nights in the dark??????

Awesome! WCB Just gets better and better. I'm very tempted to come along myself next time!

Wow!!! This has got like over 1600 views now! And it's on the Front Page!!! Not bad for a first TR is it??? In the summer i will be going up the north of Egland to Blackpool and ALTON TOWERS!!!! And i will ride the new Th13teen and my first ever B and M!!! I'm not sure which one it will be but it will be either Air or Nemesis.
