It's so the best place on earth!

Me n 8 guys n girls from work went for a little work trip today, and luckily blessed by nice weather all day, even tho it was slated to rain all day... And goddam, what a sweet day out!

Went last year with a small group of friends, but today was just better - got the fast track tickets for Nemesis, Colosus, X: No Way Out (it was swag, but worth doing cos of not having to queue) and Stealth - which we ended up doing 3 times One time we managed to get a front seat in it, as we did with a second run on Nemesis, and fuck me - both were a completely different ride! They both just felt far more extreme, more in your face and more full on!

Did a few others (Slammer - I was shitting bricks at that), Rush (scared the fuck out of me ), the Rapids and the Log thing, quality day out for £35!

Fucking aching now tho

That is all

Not that could see Pops... Can't walk round the lake anymore either....

It was a cheap day, till Burger King ripped us off Christ, I thought motorway service station prices were hiked - theme park prices are worse Your £4.59 meal is now £6.99 Nevermind

Do yourselves a favour and buy the fast track passes;

We honestly wouldn't have got everything we wanted to get done had we not got them...
