Day 8: Lightwater Valley

 

Lightwater was an... interesting... park. I really liked The Ultimate, so shoot me! I didn't think it was too rough, and the second part was really fun.

 

Rat Ride, an indoor Schwarzkopf Wilcat, was really disappointing to me. We used to have a Schwarzkopf Wildcat at Martin's Fantasy Island, and it was really fast and fun. Rat Ride was slow as hell and boring.

Maybe I spoke too soon. :D

TPRUKdays8to11032.jpg.50dc5b038d83ae808cef6d4bdcc69c88.jpg

I did not ride. Derek did, though. He did not suffer any lasting effects. :)

It's time for the Toad Hole. The water ride into disease.

Oh look! ANOTHER kiddy coaster!

lol.

Somebody's a bit too excited to be riding the kiddy coaster! :)

TPRUKdays8to11023.jpg.85ec578e4c889da73558dada2c690df4.jpg

Ok, a million and a half times :)

TPRUKdays8to11021.jpg.7a7f747ee8f3f090d8ffad9c2424ca5c.jpg

I must have said "AWWW!!" a million times!

TPRUKdays8to11020.jpg.5a961e11183c431ed7b1c257b1dcd725.jpg

I wanted to take one home with me!!

TPRUKdays8to11018.jpg.e930c45e26ae6e7518089680a461d031.jpg

See???? :)

TPRUKdays8to11017.jpg.5d5dca2fe99170808a50df2ee52d5085.jpg

Grizzly Bear is some sort of Pinfari with the CUTEST THEMING EVER!!!

TPRUKdays8to11015.jpg.770bfe2df517de7990577c1482f6bdf3.jpg

The remote controlled ducks were fun.

TPRUKdays8to11013.jpg.d4cbf10656cd09105f1e8a126a32575c.jpg

Tommy and Derek look like they're thinking "WHY are we riding this AGAIN!??!"

TPRUKdays8to11010.jpg.43333888e4338cdaa72d972beaae4cdb.jpg

Slowest lift hill ever!

TPRUKdays8to11008.jpg.2a93da53629ebbd6c3471be4b4670503.jpg

Longest trains ever!

Is it just me or does the "cute" Grizzly Bear picture kind of look like the "German Nazi SS Guard" Grizzly Bear?

 

--Robb "Joey, look out!" Alvey

 

Even more so when you flip the picture!

That took all of 5 seconds.

Day 7: Flamingoland

 

The second half of the day would bring us to Flamingoland, home of two pretty cool Vekoma coasters, Velocity and Kumali. Everyone was raving about how smooth and good Kumali was; I didn't think it was THAT great, but it was definitely better than a normal SLC.

TPRUKdays8to11071.jpg.e03e962df82485d9e68f3082958be022.jpg

Oh yeah, we also found the flaming o's. They sure were stinky!

TPRUKdays8to11075.jpg.6b01a6cd4cf491f370cef269da9a2a8b.jpg

Yum! :D

TPRUKdays8to11074.jpg.ebd46cdbbfd14410142dde62ed762884.jpg

And some cool rope thing to climb on. Let's zoom in on this picture:

TPRUKdays8to11068.jpg.834ad01448f71f8c6e6a2dffbed09404.jpg

Before ERT, we went on a mission to find the flamingos. We found a surprise dark ride! :)

TPRUKdays8to11080.jpg.21b100dfcc7fbea965132810cfe100ae.jpg

Looks like James has stolen my man! So then I stole his. :)

TPRUKdays8to11038.jpg.7147fcd89cc8465ea21543ce0d6f27c8.jpg

Time for another pain-free Vekoma: Velocity! Our ERT on this was awesome, but after like 5 rides I had to take a break! :)

TPRUKdays8to11063.jpg.6f400705327a0e83c57363a34eac558a.jpg

Derek took pics of the Disk-O for me while I struggled to put away my sweet Velocity pin and Flamingoland eraser

TPRUKdays8to11058.jpg.e27e25fa29dd14788433b0efdb13f998.jpg

SIDELOOP! :)

TPRUKdays8to11059.jpg.5528c0d52443d26ea982c46dfc905773.jpg

Oh, wait, it's Kumali. It doesn't hurt.

TPRUKdays8to11044.jpg.ba4d53509b12da06bbcba0231e5c5103.jpg

Continuing the tradition of pain, time to ride an SLC! I see you, Chris Belson!

TPRUKdays8to11040.jpg.da4727812d6cef4b2532edf27d34935a.jpg

Here's the worst flatride ever: Evolution. You spend the entire ride shifing uncomfortably on the restraint.

TPRUKdays8to11039.jpg.9380f32b1d34cec644e1bea0593b6c49.jpg

Although not made by Vekoma, this wild mouse also delivers much pain

TPRUKdays8to11037.jpg.927147d9f8bb900bf1c00c083a23daae.jpg

Also known as the Land of the Vekoma. Here we have a fine example of pain

Day 8: Pleasurewood Hills

 

Pleasurewood Hills is a strange little park with a Schwarzkopf Jumbo V, Enigma. It also has the dumbest "3d" dark ride in a boat ever.

TPRUKdays8to11112.jpg.8fe8b3eeed04716855f8e64abfe46dea.jpg

They don't try to keep you away from the track of their new Boomerang! :)

TPRUKdays8to11109.jpg.88e671ff3614681a2ce470d3ef9f31a5.jpg

This was my first Helter Skelter experience.

TPRUKdays8to11104.jpg.0f92a91d5517156ccf0f842851e3b000.jpg

Oh well. Either way, it generates plenty of sensations and emotions in all of us

TPRUKdays8to11101.jpg.c3197adbb651fe13d3f50f1854eae059.jpg

Or "The Rattlesnake"??? I'm so confused

TPRUKdays8to11100.jpg.76a96befa02e8f9bc035ddf3c35207b1.jpg

Is it called "Snake in the Grass"?

TPRUKdays8to11099.jpg.5da0a02d79a619f2ba55899281b2fa3d.jpg

Next is the coaster that's having an identity crisis

TPRUKdays8to11091.jpg.636000077098158b48d05bbe1b1e3a02.jpg

It looked pretty cool, but was pretty slow and boring IMO

TPRUKdays8to11088.jpg.140d4ebd616d5ecfb58ce845859c0b3e.jpg

First stop of the day: Enigma

Day 8: Joyland

 

Next, we went up to the Yarmouth area to hit up Joyland and Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach.

 

Joyland is a strange kiddie park. It's really tiny, with rides stacked all over each other.

TPRUKdays8to11129.jpg.82799f200c8e93d8ea80fe6d385d4676.jpg

Bye bye, Joyland. Time to split a carriage ride with Derek, Ted, and Catrina. Would have been a romantic double date except Barry was also there with us. ;)

TPRUKdays8to11126.jpg.ef55d55f08c499a3f36d7ee5d51f0c0b.jpg

Here's another dubious credit: Tyrolean Tubtwist. It's a Virginia Reel. I count it. I have no logical reason why; I just do. Call it instinct.

TPRUKdays8to11123.jpg.3c27638c0694742f31d2ddc8dfbae6df.jpg

"Whee! I'm not a credit! If you count me you're a tool!" :)

TPRUKdays8to11121.jpg.277a1a4bbabe0f0a9e34d41891b68d73.jpg

If this is a credit, so are all the other powered dark rides around the world, including Gold Rush, Ghost Train, and the Alice ride at Blackpool

TPRUKdays8to11119.jpg.d013cab070b7e853a100e88bf6ebd30c.jpg

Here's a bizzare ride: Snails. It's listed in RCDB, but I do not count it as a credit.

TPRUKdays8to11120.jpg.d7e13e9d5f7492112ec3ba6b6e1276f9.jpg

A closeup of Spook Express

TPRUKdays8to11118.jpg.34e4952b0a42f73e4d11b60306a53fb8.jpg

Here you can see Spook Express, the kiddy coaster, with some other rides underneath it.

Day 8: Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach

 

Yeah, I dunno what to say. This is kind of parallelling my experience on the trip. By this point I was kind of tired and ready for Balder, and now I'm pretty tired of making captions and ready to post pictures of Balder. Here are some pictures from Yarmouth.

TPRUKdays8to11132.jpg.6d31881b28b4d3d34fb22f446c9bd550.jpg

"Durrrrrrr"

TPRUKdays8to11133.jpg.0761c315a634b29660b74107a3af882b.jpg

Yet another bizarre snail ride!

TPRUKdays8to11136.jpg.b75fd6b7b3aedef2513a855dd284e858.jpg

TPRUKdays8to11137.jpg.7f7fc112867f9da6b1f8b777f84a98d1.jpg

It's fun, we rode it twice

TPRUKdays8to11143.jpg.4f1700f56cbd0dbf04ee64a2a9437b66.jpg

Time for credit #100: Roller Coaster! :D

TPRUKdays8to11150.jpg.8af058f470049a900f67efaa0edcc7e9.jpg

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure. Those Brits sure are into pleasure.

Night 8: Bonus PTR

 

So I was innocently minding my own business in my hotel room when I recieved a phone call. "Who could possibly be calling ME?" I thought to myself as I answered. Well, it was James, inviting Derek and I to a party celebrating the last night of the big losers who weren't doing the add-on. Enjoy!

TPRUKdays8to11161.jpg.653cbfec847104aa7353b6f2c0d89556.jpg

Awww, I miss you, Mommy! :(

TPRUKdays8to11164.jpg.e34ee88e38af1c104fc3ef4b405557b4.jpg

TED?!?! What are you doing???!!! (It's sugar in the spoon BTW)

TPRUKdays8to11162.jpg.037c39dbe09b4e330762bffe10499d88.jpg

Barron is cool.

TPRUKdays8to11163.jpg.a36e39a5e6dc18e7cf98d0a6d5434db0.jpg

Who are the losers and who are the cool people???
