It's a good video considering it's on a blackberry. But it was fun seeing all the little fishys, not so much the big, scary, teethy fishys XD

First time back at Legoland in a long time. It looks a lot different to what I remember. We left home after the park opened because we're all lazy buggers. KP crisps are doing 50% vouchers so if your planning on going to Merlin attractions soon and paying have a looksie. So off we went, went and got Callum's ticket. The guy at the admissions desk we went to was brilliant. In terms of busyness it was barely any one. Got in to the park, one thing I don't miss is the bloody hills. The one leading down to Viking Land you literally turn a corner and I almost fell down it went that steep.So off we went onto Viking River Splash. For the landscape that it's on they've done well tbh, you get wet, go round some epic bends but the bumps aren't too fun. They kinda hurt tbh. Started heading towards The Dragon stopped off at the Jolly Rocker. More to come later on the Jolly Rocker. Headed to The Dragon and it was closed. Headed towards the ONLY smoking area in the park. I will agree with smoking areas in Legoland but they could at least give us more than one that's positioned in the middle. Went to The Burger Ranch grabbed milkshakes and chips. 5 odd quid for the chips and 6 ish for the milkshakes but worth it (just so you know that was for all three of us) but if you go I recommend the milkshakes. Now after being all refreshed and no rumbling tummies we headed for Atlantis Submarine Voyager. Woo new ride all nice and excited yes? Kinda. It's such a good concept the ride from when you leave the station to getting back is about 3 minutes. Story lines the typical every things going good but as it's Legoland instead of us almost dying, we were about to lose all our data we collected! Oh noes! It could be so much better if they were clearer about what buttons are what because you have screens telling you what the different species are but the buttons aren't that clear. Fairy Tale Brook next still as good as when I went on when I was little. Because there was 3 of us our boat either scraped across the floor at the back or leant to one side. That was amusing within it's self. Went to Miniland for a bit. Saw Wembley, last time I went to miniland it wasn't there. Next was Space Tower, the tower you pull yourself up on. I let Ciarran do it, I tried but it's actually not that easy. Callum wanted to go on Sky Rider and honestly so did I to see the views. It actually goes quite fast. Now time for the Jolly Rocker. 5 times in a row mainly to have adults on the end of the rows. I understand that the rule is in place for a reason but Jesus Christ they were trying to get adults to come on, schools were having difficulty's so as 3 adults we helped out for a bit because The Dragon was closed. I got off at one point because I felt sick but went back on because they couldn't find one last adult. The first time we went on during the day they called someone on the radio and got them to come and sit on it. But the rule is a tad ridiculous because if you in a massive group you aren't going to have 2 adults to every 4 children (that's how many you fit on the row etc). Headed to Pirate Falls, still a funny little ride, the drop seems a lot bigger off the ride. Picture was amusing because you couldn't see me and Ciarran other than my face just over Callum's shoulder and a bit of Ciarran's top. It's a bit of a forceful drop in all honesty. Laser Raiders, as bad as some of the queue line is and the theming inside the ride, I prefer it to Tomb Blaster because your laser has a bigger laser 'beam' so I hit more targets and won . Went back onto Viking River Splash, I'd had enough of getting wet so I got myself a poncho. Whilst just about to get on the pumps stopped and the ride stopped. As we headed up the exit the boats were stacked and were being evacuated so we watched and saw the engineers come so waited to see the pumps come on. When they did we decided to go back and wait for the ride to start again and off it did. I think people were standing up in the boats repeatedly and they e-stopped it. Me, Ciarran and Callum being the smart people we are put the bag in the middle then after it got a bit of a soaking from the waterfall things I put it under my poncho. As we were near the top we headed to the sweet shop and grabbed some pick'N'mix then got on the Hill train. LAWL some kids were behind us arguing because they were late and I quote 'We're late because you two were busy dancing around the entrance deciding where to go' continuously arguing all the way to the bottom. Headed to The Dragon, it was working! Woo so got on and had a flaming good time (eh good lil joke no?) Started heading to Wave Surfer and stopped at Boating School. Now then it's 2-3 to a boat and a maximum of 2 adults. There was 3 of us. So me and Ciarran went, Ciarran got off and Callum got in the boat with me. So I got two rides on Boating School! So we headed to Wave Surfer, queued a little bit but it's worth it. Each got our own boat and that was fun, I got the most wet XD Now we had reached the end of the day. Throughout the day there was laughs, a little arguing and a little kid running into me. All in all it was fun, proberly on of the best days I've had at a kids park, the way they have Lego models everywhere is amazing, I had to double take on one that was in a bush because I thought it was a kid. In my opinion I prefer it to Chessington even with Jungle Coaster being replaced by a hotel. It was such a good day and I enjoyed my self. Watch out guys though, I will bring my bright yellow poncho to Thorpe Video of Atlantis.Sorry about the writing didn't have my camera with me =(

Especally on Stealth as you know shooting off at 80 odd mph into rain isn't comfortable.

The point is there's a point where banter become insulting and the mod's are trying to find a way to stop the insulting one's so just letting the banter happens reduces the atmosphere because some people make it insulting.

You may feel like that but for some members they get warned a lot for stuff like banter. So this is simply a solution to the problem so rather than saying that think about how its would improve relations on the forum and how much tidier the forum would be.

If they gave me a free cuppa every time I went on I would be a happier person.Would also sort out the height restriction thing as parents would get compensated

I'm not joking I love train sets and stuff so to go and see that would be amazing for me

We do have AP's.

Can we get a proper list of who's going to make it a bit more organised peeps :lol:Me and Ciarran may be going btw so LIST AHOY!

Benin, you just gave me an idea.

Yep thats the type of people I hate especially one who do it on purpose.

Then tell us that then. Simple.

I've been in a bad situation since I was 6 when my Mum died because my family fell apart and individually so did our lives, but I know that there are people who are worse off than me but I don't think James was telling the whole story. There are so many possibilities as to why he wasn't invited but I said my opinion and it was shot down. Which in a way shows just was this is becoming. I mean if you look at posts from 2007 things were so different but no one can manage that now. My posts have gotten less cheery but the content stays the same. But now I get shot down instead of an actual discussion people just assume and go on that, even if I explain people still have that same close minded view but either way I've been persecuted many times for just saying the truth but I still understand that people have problems and might be having a bad day.

Double posting because I'm cool and after a conversation in chat I have decided to divulge and tell you some things about me. My Dad is not a nice person and my sisters worse, many people think I exaggerate until they see it for themselves so think what you will but either way it brings me onto a point of my sister has always come first no matter what. Well one of the attributes of my Dad is that because my sister has come first, I get ignored at home. So that's home that I'm ignored at.Now school, one teacher did pay attention but only for one lesson when people were shouting stuff at me, throwing numerous of items and every now and then some ice cold water. She said to my sister that it seems like Holly just lives in a little bubble and doesn't notice anything. Considering that was after years of bullying what else was I going to do? My sister just said she's like it at home. I went back to being ignored, bullying continued. Friends, I didn't have any until Year 10 and even then, they weren't friends, they were the worst bully's just because they made me feel like I had friends and then would do stuff to me and be nasty, pin the blame on me. Got rid of them eventually, go me! College started and by this point I just didn't talk about stuff. Point blank refused. College tried to get me to do counselling but I couldn't do it.One of the things my Dad taught me was that I'm a waste of space, the fact that I breathe the same air as him disgusts him and that nothing is wrong with me other than that I'm useless. So now I struggle to tell people what's wrong, to open up and to go to the doctors about anything really because I'm so scared that they are just going to reject me like my Dad did. The point is all my life I've been ignored and every now and then someone will show that actually they do care and something might be wrong but it wont be followed up because I can't talk about it. So yeah there's a bit of reasoning behind why I don't talk about things. It spans more than just that but like I said I can't talk about it.

Then why did people tell Lauren that she does it too much? It's true though without sugar coating anything that so many worse things could happen. I mean has he even tried talking to his friends or has he just sulked over the pictures?

It's possibly market research, considering it's their target market and it's fright nights etc.

I. Hate. You. Jealous. Tbh.

In all fairness, shows like that will be biased. That point is very true, however shows such as BGT and the massive X is for entertainment purposes. Simon Cowell created them for money and entertainment. Of course it will be biased, unfair and have crappy people on it. It entertains us does it not. I refer you to an audition that I'm sure most people laugh at, after you watch it ask yourself how did they get through to the auditions in front of the judges. The answer will be entertainment purposes.

I distracted people with my knowledge of all things Benin

Moar BeninLil moar

Lawl click for Benin

Amen to that Ellie!

I think you'll find that Mark has been employed by Merlin so yes he can see. He managed it. It's not hard

Just to let you all know, I got the job, then lost the job because I was puking etc today so woo I'm back in unemployment. Fml.
