As strange as the concept of theme parks may be, it is always such a great day out!! We had a 2 for 1 voucher, which made it even better. First time for me at a UK theme park. I loved it! Went onto Storm Surge first, where we sat with 3 little girls, one of which told us that she had just lost her tooth..... went on to X/No way out. Now, my friend was not very clever and told me exactly what to expect! But, although I am not usually much of a screamer, I screamed! Bloody loved it though! We then did the little round where Zodiac, Quantum etc. were. After those rides, both our stomachs were in dire need of some food and rest, so we had our lunch, sat right to a massive noisy speaker. After lunch we were a little unlucky: We decided to brave Tidal wave. After queueing for about half an hour, maybe a little longer, an announcement notified us of a technical issue. We got so close to the front, too. We jumped out of the queue and went back to X?No way out. Half hour queue. And this was outside. When we got near the entrance, an announcement said they had some major cleaning to do (someone's stomach gone mad?!). First we waited. For about another half an hour. 2 mins after we left, the ride was cleared. We were too embarrassed to go straight back so went to smaller rides instead and came back.
Eventually we got back into the queue for Tidal Wave, (after going on Detonator. The one type of ride I had always avoided. Even back in Germany I'd sit out "Scream" in the Heide Park, but I fought my demons and BLOODY LOVED IT)....where was I? Tidal Wave! We were right at the back. Apart from a little dry patch on my shirt, I was soaking wet! No joke, Everyone was drenched!! Definitely glad we put our stuff in one of the provided lockers just before this one!
Overall, we had a really fun day. The weather was amazing, too. Definitely a great way to spend your day off!
