Werner Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Hi and welcome to this Photo TR, i hope you will enjoy reading and mostly just looking at some of my newest pictures. Last week me and my girlfriends went on a holiday to England. A place with many themeparks and some real classic coasters. Well lets stop the talk and lets get down to business... Nope, even more talk ahead. After we arrived in England we got denied a rental car So this was a huge disappointment for us, and we had to make some changes to our plans. But lucky enough we got around pretty good with public transport and with a wheelchair too... After a long journey, we made it! We welcome you all to Drayton Manor... ...home of Thomas Land, and more! So that's why we are here for? YES! It's our first credit of the year, and ofcourse we start in style with a kiddie-credit. Feel the Thrill! Fell the Speed! Feel the Anger! Well time for a little more G-Force? Or do you prefer GeForce, well do you? GeForce? Really!? But, but, but... ...! Then just enjoy, me! Time for some Europian Stand-Up Horror? Ehh, Joy! The smoothest ride in the park is a Vekoma? HUH!? Zoo time! He! Walking here... Have you seen Harry around here lately? Time for the last credit of the day... Some random flats... OMG! It's the Buffalo coaster! Woohoo! Well thank you, but not going home yet... Edited May 20, 2013 by Werner
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks for your report! Can't wait to find out what other parks you have visited . One question, if you don't mind? Why couldn't you rent a car?
Werner Posted May 19, 2013 Author Posted May 19, 2013 ^They said something about that i needed to have my drivers license at least more then a year. After when i asked them if it would be a problem before i made the booking, so this is not over yet.
simon8899 Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 For planned September visit to Alton Towers and Drayton Manor I only plan going by public transport. My colleague told more than once that he barely crashed into a truck riding his motorbike as he took a turnaround the wrong way. And he's an English citizen working in Germany - a born Scotsman! If even English guys who are now used to right-hand driving make such mistakes I won't even try to drive "on the wrong side"... He also recommended if possible to only cross roads at traffic lights as one so easily looks the wrong way first while checking for traffic...
Werner Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 Welcome back to reading this Photo-TR again. The second day took us to my favorite themepark in England; Alton Towers! Welcome to Alton Towers! We made a left turn after we entered the park, it's Sea-Life people... This guy really liked his place cleaned up! Still a little to cold today for this, unless your a Brit! A my favorite Alton ride! Time to fly with Air! Feel as free as an bird! No forced Pretzels here... Only this part... Are you done taking pictures? I saw this Monster of a Coaster here somewhere... Let's go! You mean this Monster? It will eat you alive... Guess that didn't go so well, with all that blood coming out and all... Can't leave without this classic shot! I would love to join... Where can i sign up? A little view from the Sky Ride. But wait, ... ... Rita turned out to be closed Ohh! HEX! Still my favorite Madhouse! Can you see the face too? How cool would it be, if they put someting like Darkastle in here? Oblivion! Those poor people... This are the many faces of Death! Time to put some SmileS on your faces! Smile 1! Smile 2! Smile 3!

And remember: Smile always! And now back to reality... It's almost like a fairytale... Goodbye, Alton... Hope to be back soon! Hope you enjoyed reading this update, and don't mind leaving a comment
Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Aaah, Alton Towers, one of my favorite parks! Really love that place, sadly it can be really crowded out there. How 'big' where the lines? And why was Rita down, for maintenance ore something else. If i look closely to your picture it looks like a part of the queue is gone, ore am I just seeing that wrong? Alton Towers will get a second visit in October to ride The Smiler, can't wait! Thanks for the report again. The next park Blackpool?
