Me and Toofpikk thought we'd head down to Paramount Park last Friday. It STILL isn't ready, clearly didn't get ultimate planning fastrack, only standard. So we went on a random adventure through a £2 tunnel to some place. We had no idea where though.

They had delicious milkshakes but that didn't help.

This place was obsessed with pink and yellow.

Like this Fireball thing.

Look at the pink and yellow!

We just couldn't think what theme park was obsessed with pink and yellow.

They had an Elvis. Must be America

And a BIG wheel. But that doesn't mean anything, loads of places have these.

See. Pink and yellow.

Back here again. Not sure where this was but we found it 9 times.

Ohhhh. We were at Rage Southend On Sea. No that's not right.

WHY IS THIS PLACE SO BADLY ADVERTISED

10666029_967922233233205_3911270717287180775_n.jpg?oh=af5c873450d53f32384cbb9301ca8ad6&oe=549A43CD&__gda__=1419524470_07c9592c97102f93b717e2b0f59ba281

All day we were confused. No idea where we were.

Thorpe Park have dodgems. Maybe I was at Thorpe Park.

No Thorpe Park doesn't have the only Archelon in the UK! But I don''t know which park does :(

Railway. Useful that.

Vortex. It would be so easy to brand this ride with the park it's at!

This is a Gerstlauer. It says so on the seats.

Why would I take a selfie with a bunny when I can't even check in on Facebook as I've no idea where I am!

It's okay though, we found our answer.

We were at a 5 star loo all day :D I feel so privileged!

10603578_967921746566587_7293958337916347036_n.jpg?oh=ba4c3835a2ec682419fd5f403a10e6a1&oe=54930516&__gda__=1420047228_31c8915e4b09f5b3c4880709abefdd34

Bye bye 5 star loo! Was a great day out.

How the hell did AI's loos get 5 stars? I am done.

 

 

There wasn't enough pink and yellow in this trip report for my liking either.
