Schwarzkopf Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well, seeing as I couldn't live further from any British beach, our nearest beach is actually pretty much whichever we want to visit (hense all the credit trips). This wasn't actually a credit trip - more of a family beach day. However, there is a kiddie coaster in Hunstanton that I hadn't ridden, so thought I may as well divert a bit and ride it. Anyway... Wow, once again Disney has been whitewashed when it comes to an entrance. I mean, Rainbow park just went MAD when they invested in this. OMG. They had the usual rubbish... Waltzers, Paratrooper, Twist, Miami, Slide... Oh, and a messed up claustrophobic ghetto air bomber thing. It looked horrid. Why would you? Just why? The Samaritans should open a branch next to this hunk o junk... why else would you be willing to pay the £2 it costs to ride? Oh forget it, everyone knows why i'm really in this hole: I don't know what's more crowd-pulling, the dull, depressing paint job or the seedy back entrance? They're right, it's the perfect family coaster! Fuqit, for £1.50 i'd ride anything Dragon Ride? Doesn't a sign about 6ft away say 'Sea Dragon'? Meh. Oh, and, you can always tell when a park is REALLY dodgy when they operate on cash rather than a token scheme (see Coney beach). A never before seen angle of a Nessi style coaster! I love it really. With that. I leave Rainbow park . Next years trip is being planned as we speak! I then got some culture. Laughed at some saddo (see the number plate...) Then went to find the family at the beach (which took about 3 hours LOLZ). Thanks for reading x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 LOL @ the warning sign: "Do not ride if you're a big girls blouse, a mummy's boy or a wimp!" -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCrowder Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Lmao I love sea side 'parks' like this. Height of British culture I would be too scared of the operator to ask to get on, you have guts! ^ They have those signs EVERYWHERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Haha, that claustrophobic bomber thing is an Eyerly Loop-O-Plane, and they're friggin' amazing. Unlike modern, larger rides similar to it, the counterweights don't weigh very much, so when you come down, you come down hard. There's a reason they call those things "The Hammer".

.TP.Emma. Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I take it that the people with the *cool* number plate are just loving the colour yellow... a yellow car with a number plate referring to the colour yellow and a yellow house?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoflake15 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Going to Brighton for a stag weekend and considering getting a couple of credits at the Pier. They look dreadful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That pic of you on the train with the comment made me seriously laugh so hard. I love the sarcasm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That Getto-Air bomber thing is an exciting and rare Eyerly Loop O Plane, and by the looks of it both portible and electric-operated. You get some pretty intense G forces on the gas-model, but the electric one has got some kick to it as well. Shame you didn't try it, you would have really liked it.
