Divv3k Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Let's go back in time! Earlier in the day we quickly whored our way around Lightwater Valley as a few in the group needed the credits. I was interested to ride The Ultimate for the first time in three years, hoping that maybe my bad experience the last time was just a one off. Sadly, I was wrong, it's still a load of crap! Oh well! Here's some photos... Lucky for me I already had this credit so I could just point and laugh! Well that was your whistle-stop tour of Lightwater Valley. Now, who wants bar photos? Nothing like a Wacky Worm to make you feel sad and pathetic! One more stop before we hit the road! This time Brad says "Hi Erik!" Sadly we didn't have time to check out Magic Marc's Horrific Magic Shows. =( Whorey, whore, whore, whore, whore, whore! It's The Ladybird! Hi Larry! What are these guys waiting for? The park added a new rapids ride this year, but it was broken down when passed and we didn't stay long. Hopefully it will still be here next time we come! You might have to duck to get in but the Rat Ride is the best in the park! Scottish Steve says "Hi Andrew!" The second half of the ride is like bad, rough sex! Brad wishes he had big boobs. The first section is pretty slow and tame. Brad and TPDave don't quite know what to expect. Lift hill enthusiasts, get out your tissues! Mike and Steve are a bit apprehensive. So, is The Ultimate better than I remember? Now, the real reason anyone comes to Lightwater Valley! Scottish Steve LOVED the Spinning Mouse! Mike thinks it can be operated MUCH better! Excited? I didn't think so! First stop, spinning hell! Anyone know how we get into the park? No? Ducklings, ducklings for Lou! At Lightwater valley you can get a snacky, snack, snack, snack, snack, snack IN THE MOUTH!!! Scottish Steve made it to Lightwater Valley by accident. He was aiming for Alton Towers. Doritos, Doritos for Divv!!! Snacky, snack, snack, snack, snack, snack! Mike's gonna give all his friends a snack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Ah, memories of '06! Big Mike feeding a hotdog to a duck at Lightwater. Everybody else trying to choke down the "mystery meat" burgers. My right arm going numb after it slammed into the side of the train during the Ultimate's brutal second half. The pure weirdness (and fun) of the Rat Ride and the Toad Hole. Is Toad Hole even there anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Divv3k - I might be the Overlord, but you are the Patron Saint of the Park Index. I guess Grizzly Bear and Twister still don't have a proper signs. And for the record, I enjoyed The Ultimate, once we got past the 5-6 minute lift hills.

nemesis-storm Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Toad hole has gone - The parks "Big Wheel" is now situated there. Also Grzzly Bear went at the end of last year, this is where the log flume is now. The park has stated they had too many problems with the coaster. Some of the Hitler bears are at the park, but I wont tell you where ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemesis-storm Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hitler bears?! WTF?! Whatever these are, sounds like something we'll definitely have to find on next year's trip. Basically, they had carved wooden bears around the ride area, some had there 'paws' raised directly upwards in air ... looking somewhat like that salute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divv3k Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 ^ All will become clear when I post my Scandi TR! Larry, I'm happy to help out the park index in any way I can! I'll be sure to get a few more additions this coming weekend! But now... BAR PHOTOS!!! This has been a drunken Brit Crew night out, brought to you by Divv. Hope you enjoyed! Even on the bus home the Brit Crew have to take up the proper back of the bus seating configuration. Well, not anymore. Yes Steve, you have a tie. Lou loves her Windex! Poor Mike's getting squished. Clench Mike, clench!!! No wonder Scottish Steve is scared by this! Freakiest wall ever!!! Yay, Divv shot! By Divv! (Featuring Lou) Mike and Steve are looking a wee bit pished now. Please don't spit beer on me Steve! This is EXACTLY why I want an iPhone, so I can take photos like this. iPhone geeks! (Yes, I'm just jealous!) This is a Divv shot. By Lou. Featuring Divv. See, we have beer! Yes, we're at the bar! The battery might die at any minute so Lou makes sure we have the most important photos - reflection shots! Out in Manchester and Mike gives another shout out to our missing friends! Better keep an eye on that exchange rate Andrew! OMG, what the hell happened to Matt Damon?! This any better? We sent this photo to Andrew on Saturday night. He complained that there wasn't enough beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It's not a real night out if you remember any of it or there isn't a traffic cone/for sale sign/plant pot/small child in your bed the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
