Tis wicked... as we're all adults go on a school day for maximum fun..

I would say... Skyflyer then Dodgems- then the Pirate ship followed by the Dragon and then some Black revolver... shortly after rapids and then log flume- shock wave and then repeat.

I am sure theres loads there that are dead and gone but fuck it- was ace when I was younger

I went there on May 1st, had a great day in the park but returned to the car park to find my immaculate Impreza P1 gone!!!

Never been seen since.

Had an e-mail from an evo owner who had had his car stolen from the same place 3 weeks before mine went.

You dont pay for the car park, everyone has access and they know the cars will be left for several hours.

So be careful.
