Last year we decided to go to Butlins for the New Year for a change. Of course with Fantasy Island being just down the road I had to go and take a look.

And to finish a shot of Odyssey! I hope you enjoyed my closed season update!

Volcanic Impact just stands there big and proud.

S&S and Vekoma side by side, who would have thought!

HPIM0114.jpg.78be4785d02608f6b9bcc81936c0ed54.jpg

Beast pods on the floor protected from bad winter things!

HPIM0113.jpg.9cb1a69f2b5b595da97efd7fcc104f3b.jpg

The horses must have galloped off again.

HPIM0103.jpg.992436b7d33d6b81e937adf64cf78d0b.jpg

Even the waterfall gets to take a break

HPIM0099.jpg.118671a9e231ecafd607970885a69f0f.jpg

New Twister design. No cars. All you do is hold on to the posts.

HPIM0097.jpg.bfd7c5808a510f1990322eeda4a2ddb5.jpg

Techno Frogs gets turned into a tent for the winter.

HPIM0109.jpg.56be923e6586a5fdbba96053da1ff66c.jpg

This sign, I do not like.

HPIM0096.jpg.b159110dfee6c8b06c47c670996bc3f4.jpg

The pointless transfer track to nowhere!

HPIM0098.jpg.4db4fd68bc79c6a14b9817804037b00a.jpg

Then near the end you have a nice twisty turny element into the final break run, which features......

HPIM0086.jpg.0bdc187f3ee5f4d7af6b2f88bfab72be.jpg

Which goes into the second loopy element with some twisty ones after

HPIM0077.jpg.4461b60079b7b85e38f188a6e985e541.jpg

Goes into the first loopy element

The true meaning of a holiday!

HPIM0081.jpg.6084518a09743f01597476d06c6daa6d.jpg

I like break runs they make funny sounds.

HPIM0087.jpg.8b85fc77b7d10733ab49a1bef1466599.jpg

Odyssey's layout.

HPIM0083.jpg.55c0bbda21c68aa6ecc9f7b39123dc83.jpg

I spy a lift hill!

HPIM0076.jpg.3b6b4eb0e79db7fc4ff8c0a489c73a5f.jpg

Odyssey seems to be missing a key item. Any ideas what that might be?

HPIM0074.jpg.e2d0f3b17fc5d2a5b8a6aeb6afec7c88.jpg

Amazing Confusion doesnt seem to have been touched at all.

HPIM0068.jpg.4327e14823a9245373b9f1f6c5953620.jpg

Thats rather high!

HPIM0070.jpg.36b2e469626a3a0f17e84d23369cef20.jpg

I never pick a seat I just sit in an open one and try and ignore the sign, then its more of a surprise on launch

HPIM0067.jpg.555d0079b3ac48a70c410429b0b36844.jpg

Cant say im a fan of the new S&S car though.

HPIM0069.jpg.f811cf7dd40bda1f1dbcf5d511f7f673.jpg

This is my favourite ride and i never mind paying the £4!

Surf Up!

HPIM0159.jpg.478007dee3d6d75d58909e1ec321ccd3.jpg

This Motion Simulator runs on a Sony DVD player, I wonder what happens if you put Final Desination 3 in there?

HPIM0154.jpg.ba0c4bd9222e309d9e6686df8fdf8016.jpg

There is also this Galaxy ride.

HPIM0035.jpg.d8ce67241034e4bda0b8188d6755c313.jpg

HPIM0034.jpg.e73e777623c6513cdf9183a70ab2b286.jpg

HPIM0033.jpg.e21778a7d5f7d2a124c4ca8defd9029b.jpg

HPIM0147.jpg.61821376ef96541ab646e28333d9b95f.jpg

Top Spin action!

HPIM0145.jpg.8d64619bf8738a4b3c01def318a6b43f.jpg

The Top Spin was new for 2006 I think.

HPIM0032.jpg.bf1bad31e68506b7ab4dad3e779da050.jpg

Once you get to the funfair they only have a few rides but they are fun none the less. To start they have these Go Karts but they cost £4 a go.

HPIM0009.jpg.3225b8e8d4503527cf6619a91415082d.jpg

Inside the Skyline they have lots of shows, and for new year ty had some people singing called Same Difference. Apparently they are well known but I never heard of them.

HPIM0029.jpg.69e204863ce2ec0af42a4b51384c9097.jpg

To get to the Funfair you have to go through the Skyline, which is this big tent.

HPIM0043.jpg.5beeb7eeb0b06bfacb952507a06310cb.jpg

On the way to the Funfair at Butlins I bumped into an old friend.

HPIM0193.jpg.95cfdec886a88ed30e18e2fdfaa03a6c.jpg

Me doing a pose that my friends seem to do alot.
