CoNNoR Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) Well for the past two days I've been in the ripon area visiting knaresborough on the first day and on the second lightwater valley well all that I have to say about this park is that it has a fantastic collection of rides, attractions and coasters. I got a couple of decent ride in through the day on the ultimate and raptor attack as well as a few others in the park. and larry I got you the pic just scroll down. I hope that you enjoy my first time at light water valley I know I did on to the pictures but there not top quality as I had to use my mobile. A little bit of a culture credit to start off with here's the viaduct at knaresborugh this is the only picture I have though. Here we are at lightwater for one thing. THE CHAIRSWING lol. After the chairswing i decided to test out the newly added whirlwind. It was running an insane program today although I did have a full english breakfast just before I went on lol. After I went on that I took a few snaps of eagle's claw although I did not get the chance to get on it as it was not running every time I was in the are. See what I mean with the constant repairing when I'm here and ready to ride. Anyway I decided to go down to trauma tower on and hey larry. It gives you a little jump lol. I bet your loving this larry but sadly I have to end it there thats all I have. Whats this I see. The price of credit whoreing is you have to SQUEZZE into these tiny seats. Kiddie coaster POV Next is the go-karts. Which I won lol. Next is a few shots of The black widow. I didn't go on though as I was still feeling the effects from whirlwind But I still said that this type of ride looks pretty cool. Next up more credit whoreing. I know I look sad and pathetic. Thats it enough kiddie coasters now for THE ULTIMATE which I think I love because of the roughness and it's my 35th coaster. Lift hill boys here's one for you but I have agree the lift hills are REALLY S...L...O....W lol. At this momment your like i'm still alive and then you think lets do that again. Only a little after that first drop there is an amsing air time hill. I only have this shot of raptor attack but I have to say that the themeing on this ride is amasing. After all this excitment I need a ride to calm me down the lightwater wheel. You can get shots of diffrent areas of the park from on here. Look the ultimate lol. After the wheel I went on the dogems which are proper ones by that I mean big one's. And today I shall end how I started with a shot of the entance. Edited October 26, 2010 by CoNNoR
CoNNoR Posted August 19, 2010 Author Posted August 19, 2010 I hope that the pictures will do for you larry
larrygator Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I am appeased and shall overlook you inability to capitalize the word "I" and all proper names this thread. thank you
larrygator Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 ^Ceratinly not! Only the best PTRs end up on the front page. There is no single criteria to make the front page but out of focus pictures are not worthy and PTRs without proper capitalization will never end up on the front as long as I'm a moderator
tiger01 Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Nice TR, Lightwater looks like an alright park! The Ultimate looks quite cool. Sadly I won't be visiting this park for some time because I can't get to it.
RedSpecial Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Nice TR, Lightwater looks like an alright park! The Ultimate looks quite cool. Sadly I won't be visiting this park for some time because I can't get to it. Thanks for the photos but personally if they were handing out free tickets I'd not be tempted to visit again - Flamingoland is far better a park in comparison. As for the Ultimate - its the longest and slowest coaster I have ever encountered and the only one I know part constructed by British Rail which should tell you how fun this is to ride. Nothing appeals to me at Lightwater valley - I appreciate they have limited resources but would find I'd find a better range of rides at a travelling funfair. I can still remember them getting fined for poor maintenance after Gemma Savage's death in 2001 - http://www.hse.gov.uk/press/2006/e06114.htm I appreciate it was a long time ago now but still don't trust the maintenance of their rides.
