I'm quite scared by all this "SHE's HOT" buisness around this topic, lol. Its like a girl entering a all boys school.

Tis a good trip report! I love the bird death, oh well, had to happen to someone, lol.

Sorry to double post. But i've added a gallery of all my photographs of the weekend. (well the decent ones) http://www.oaktowers.co.uk/OTP/Oakwood/index.html

I agree with Jahan, i hate it when ride ops have mobile phones at their posts. When i was at Oakwood they had mobible phones and mp3 players, this really got me a bit cheesed off. Because they could be listening to their favourite song and mischeck your restraint and cause you to fall out. You never know. Right time to start ranting on another forum.....

Yeah we have the plane rides, i think they have some fun, but when my one gave out a horrible straining sound i stopped flapping my rudder

Wow Great Yarmouth is the closest you ever come to where i live in the entire trip. Can't wait to see the TP update.

Speed at Oakwood. Amazing, my fav roller coaster!

Because i suck so much i'll post a picture of my 25th coaster.... (I have a low coaster count because of my position in the UK)

Twas a very good weekend, shame about the tents being knocked over, i was pretty squiffy for most that night

Well this is my only trip to my favourite theme park in the UK. I had to go to get pictures of Speed for my website Oaktowers. So after a long 6 hour drive from Southampton to the campsite it was a fun night, got a bit tipsy thar, woke up the next morning around 7am, didn't go to the park till 9am. After we queued and faffed outsite we ran to the 'fobia. I must say its not lost any of its pace, its still one amazing ride, with airtime galore! Tad bit rougher though. After walking back to the meet up place and faffing for badges and the party bags we headed back to the 'fobia for a CF ride, I decided to do back row, which was amazing and intense experience, i've still got a bruise on my elbow, it hurts . So after this we went over to the new ride Speed, after queueing for some 20 mins because they stupidly put on 1 train, so the queue was big. I rode back row first time, and it was really good, the first drop was just incredible, and the airtime was immense. Loved the loop it really had a good force, was 50/50 on the jerk out of the brake run. Helix was extremely intense almost like Nemesis and Cobra's (yes a kids ride has a intense helix). Got interviewed for the CF Documentary after the ride, which was fun, so might be on thar soon. After this we rode The Waterfall which is the tea tray ride, i almost fell off, which was sort of annoying, but then the person after me just fell in completley. Then i did treetops back row, which like many rides was completley insanse to do! Got throw about so much. After this was Plane Crazy, which is a tame flat ride, not that fun to do really. Tis a nice addition though. Probably with the only themeing i've ever seen at Oakwood for a flat ride. We broke for lunch so i naturally went off to whore some rides, which i did with Bobsleigh and Death Slide. After walking to the amazing Speed Bacon Bite i queued for Speed which took 50 mins! Because they still had 1 train on, and again i stressed to the ride op why are they doing this. Front row this time, which was ace, the lift scares me, tis very intimidating. After lunch i met with the group after being 10 mins later because of Speed, we all did Hydro which was alright, still a good water ride, just its so tame with those OTSR. Lapbars were better After the water ride we headed off for The Bounce which is my fav tower ride, had a good ride with that and got a nice picture of Speed from the top . We all headed back to Speed for a group photograph which was fun to plan and take. Afterwards we queued again, again using 1 train, until they probably saw me coming as a van arrived and a engineer came out and hopped into the matinence area and proceeded to add another train onto the ride, this lead to me explaining to people how the transfer track works. True geek, eh? So the queue went down a lot quicker after this, did the front row again, tried to take some pictures on ride, didn't work, ended up turning out so much like TPR's . Anyway we all broke to go do whatever. I did the pirate boat, which was lame. Better last year. After this we all met up and headed for CC2000 for some crystal maze goodness. My team came first on the Expert mode which we all did second time. Most people went off to Narbeth to get booze and stuff, i put my order in. Went back to campsite got pisshed. Little did we know a storm blew in and knocked down two of our tents, i had to sleep in the rec room we were socialising in. Overall a great weekend Here are some pics. (Copyright of Oaktowers and Coaster Force, please ask for permission if you'd like to use them.) Across the Severn Bridge back over to England! Speed from the top of Bounce, really like this picture. Big 'ol splashdown! Back shot of Megafobia! Speed behind a massive woodchip hill A nice silouhette of Speed, shows how they are getting really high on it. Weird, yet its a nice angle of megafobia, even if i took it over my shoulder. Its pretty steep isn't it? This was a lovely shot at the campsite, on the friday

Mystery i absolutley adore the level crossing one, such a good idea! Might have to borrow the idea later

Just thought id created a topic about peoples photography, that can be non coaster based, but also be based, as like me i can mix the two together. So here's some of my photographs in their galleries. http://www.oaktowers.co.uk/OTP/Clarence%20Pier/index.html http://www.oaktowers.co.uk/OTP/Random%20I/index.html http://www.oaktowers.co.uk/OTP/firenight/index.html http://www.oaktowers.co.uk/OTP/Holland/index.html Just a few

Haha, looks great at Coney beach, Tom just has to get in those pictures don't he, i think the only UK guy thar

No they weren't that big, could've fitted it all in my mouth

So this was my first friday off for a while, am amazed. So i decided to go down to Clarence Pier in my home town and ride some of the rides with a few friends. Did a few of the rides, but they were too lame so i didn't re-ride much I just took photographs. The Hovercraft which lands near Clarence Pier, runs from Southsea to the Ilse of Wight. Now this freaked me out, and still does....This picture has not been edited in anyway A nice blurred picture of Disko thar, this is what I really came down for. Blurred pictures Half the layout, rough as can be See no friction wheels. In true Clarence Pier style there is no friction wheels in the station so man power is used. First up was Disk'O my favourite ride at the pier. Shame it was lame... Clarence Pier in all its run-down-ness

Look like your having a really good time which is good to see! Can you mention me when you go to Oakwood, as thats where my brain is half the time!!! Also if you have the time there is one coaster credit where i live. Just a SDC Galaxi....

I don't mind the drywall, its just something randomly fun In the UK we don't use drywall that much, we use bricks

I love the song, am so glad they won!! Its better than what we would ever do!! (joke coming) I heard next year Rammstein are representing Germany (joke end) Or check out my attachment for what could happen I wonder if this will happen

here is a random one of my nipple area and what happened when i annoyed a girl I hate girls sometimes

Mummy why is the Yeti from Expedition Everest here?

I really liked this update, had so many good photographs in it, as usual! This makes me want to go to Holiday World so badly That scambler ride looks like its made out of lego, seriously! Also Pinifari loopers are good fun to ride, as they are soo poo!

Wow i freaking love the supports on this roller coaster, they are true showing of support enginering! I just love the twists and turns of this roller coaster! Must go to this park one day Also am i the only one who's curious as to what the trains will be like now? As it should be anytime soon.

Mine is somewhat purple and looks alright. Don't mind if people add me, long as you say whom you are, as i only add friends who i know. Saves trawling through 20 pages of people you don't really know. www.myspace.com/lord_kotowa

Well they thought they could get on the ride quicker if they jumped in the 'empty' queue line, which in fact was the fast track queue. Loooosseeerrs! The wire that hangs down from Stealths is a emergency wire incase the roller coaster train stalls at the top and also as said for matinence as well. As they left it up there from the last time they needed it.

Thanks for the comments. Its strange i just rode Nemmie and it just didn't do anything to me, i was bored sensless. It might have been the fact it was just too smooth, and too smooth rides are just boring. Also here are some more random pictures from the weekend! Another photograph taken by putting a camera over a fence, hehe. Good angle of the top of Rush here, when the swing was over you could see all the air escaping from the tanks, was impressive. My Stealth ORP, it was blurry because a fight broke out in the ORP area between some chavs. I can see the staines housing plan is in action The cattle pen of Stealth's Queue, don't you wish you bought fastrack? This guy made me laugh, as he pulled his coat over his head because he was so scared of the ride. Great laugh when it did launch. Picture of me, very bored as stealth has broken down for the third time. Stealth looks big from the bottom don't it!
