Bagatelle: The Road to 200!
It's been a while since I've done a trip report but here we go. Another road trip which for me meant I would hit 200 creds! WOO.
Where do we start? A French park with an inverted Vekoma boomerang cos why not.
We left Dover on a meh British weather Saturday arriving in Dunkirk the Sunday morning. Before heading to the park we went into Calais for a meander as this is where we were staying. Apparently asking for a pain au chocolat is difficult even though it's how we both say it. Language barriers are great.
Calais had this
And this. Cos culture is nice
Much nicer than the first thing you essentially see at the park.
Bagatelle was an odd park. I don't know if I liked it or not. They had two coasters made by a company no one knows off cos they basically only made these two coasters.
A bright orange torture device (that wasn't awful)
A one adult per boat log flume which shows you the border around the park with local basketball courts.
A pirate themed area aka a pirate boat, orange ferris wheel and a chain with a no entry sticker on to stop you leaving the park border.
An actually okay rapids with moments of decent theming.
An Autopia type ride but with a really good layout. Best ride here.
A brand new air race with themed surrounding buildings on lovely fresh tarmac
A normal sized log flume with stupidly fast lift
One of these but allowing adults to ride
And the 2nd of the 2 random coaster manufactures coasters.
They also have; a monorail which leaves the park and shows you goats, a spinning wild mouse which was horrific, a single seater tea cups ride for kids, an awful simulator and I'm sure some more awful stuff.
Didn't take many photos as the park entertained me so much I ended up watching the F1. So definitely visit. This put me on 198 creds. Yay.
We did however have a nice evening in Calais
I had alcohol
There was this
This stunning building
And we played a few games of pool at the hotel with you guessed it...
Alcohol. Woop.
I will try and do the rest of the trip when I get time but it might take a while
