Photo TR : Thorpe Park 2011

[fdelhomez]

Hi everyone,

 

First of all, sorry for the pics quality, because of Ryanair and their luggage restriction I wasn't able to take my Nikon reflex with me, so most of the pictures (and the video) are from an Iphone 4 (some of them from a little Fujifilm...) once again sorry.

So we came back from London with some good souvenirs ,-) we spent 3 days, 2 in London and 1 in Thorpe Park, and it was the first time. Let speak about Halloween things in the park, in my opinion some theming was missing in the park and more "fright characters" would be prefect for those types of events! BUT, the mazes were just WOW, the first we did was Saw Alive, that was very very good, but it was the worse of the 5,then comes "7" : each rooms illustrate one of the seven sins and believe me they really did the job well, after that "The Curse" drives you around a crime scene with very dark almost in the black rooms with strobe effects and strange atmosFEAR! Then comes "The Asylum" that makes you feel uncomfortable with the patients waiting for you in the dark, heavy smoke in this one and something special at the end of this maze! But the best one was "Experiment 10" themed as a government test laboratory were something goes wrong, during the queue we saw some people living the rooms by the emergency exit and we discovered why! In the other maze we travel by small group of 6 to 10 holding the guy in front of you on his shoulders but in "E10" they split you one by one. Has you are alone it became very hard not to cry like a baby, there is noisy section, small room where you stand almost 1 min in total black without knowing what to do, or go ahead in a small hall four-footed. I won't tell anything else to leave the surprise when you get there. The ride part was great exept Colossus and X-No Way Out, Nemesis Inferno was my hundred ride, Stealth did not work early in the morning but when it opened, it was amazing! Saw The Ride kick ass a lot. Flat rides are good but too much spinning for me. We finished with a visit at Madam Tussauds, very nice place, I loved London and this week-end.

We had to rent a car, and big surprise : the car was great.

London, here we go!

So amazing.

Classic picture.

Even the cabs are themed!

We eat our first lunch at the Mc Donalds in this blue section.

Our car ready to take us back to the hotel.

Channins Hounslow Hotel.

Second day, here we are! We're about to be Thorped out!

Fright Nights.

Stamped!

I'll be with girls today

Let's start with Saw The Ride.

Beyond the goodness.

Nemesis Inferno is waiting for us.

Yes, ride #100!

3 girls for me! Even with those face I love them!

Colossos was good in the front but painfull behind.

God.... That drop....

Stealth was the 101 ride, and OMG it rocks!!!

Take a look closer, something sexy is raising from the floor.

In few minutes girls, you'll stop laughting.

3rd day, back to London, we park at Chinatown and travel city by cab.

Favorite actor for me.

Sexiest actor for Popo.

Watch our honey he's gonna bite you.

Yes we met up once again.

Hoooo he wants to touch your boobs.

She asked me to do it, it's not my fault.

Arrrrggg, I don't share.

So hot.

Is the picture upside down?

End of the report, thanks for reading.

I really thought about telling you we were supposed to visit Thorpe Park, of course I'll be there next year for The Swarm, and also taking a look at Chessington, so if you want to join and maybe guide us you're welcome.

I have to say the biggest shock to me about this trip report is you rented a Vaxhaull and it was great! Still looks like you had a great time its a shame I wont be able to hit up Fright Nights this year.

I really know what you mean, it's also not my favorite car brand and I was shocked too, so quiet that sometimes we thought the motor was shut down (and there was not the "start/stop" option) and for the Fright Nights you'll be missing something, Experiment 10 was HUGE!
