hello my name is emily, and I'm 25 and live in the UK
my interests are:
music (most types, I'm very easy going!)
movies (mainly drama and true stories) with the odd disney movie thrown in
video games (I have an XBOX 360) and I like to play on that
and of course theme parks- which I actually don't get too much.. I've been bipolar since a young age, and up until recently everything was kind of stable... but an episode years ago left me wheelchairb bound for life..... I don't talk about it much- it's changed my life completely and requires someone to support me round the clock 24 7. so in a way, I'll admit... I'm embarrassed to be on here- it's been ages since I've been to a theme park and loads has probably changed... so I'll run out of things to talk about- but I'll tell you exactly why I joined:
I joined mainly to share my memories of atractions, and also perhaps slot in where I can with current topics if I can... I am sorry that I won't post much:(. hope I'm welcome?
ride wise, well, my best ride is and always will be, vortex. I couldn't get away from thorpe without least 5 rides on the vortex in 1 day?. yep..... 5, each time enjoying it more andm ore, and each time putting my hands up on the air as if to say.. wooo.. look at me I'm on vortex. lol
other rides I enjoy at thorpe park are, well... I liked the canada creek railway- but was gutted to here it had closed. I actually used my time on the canada creek railway more to relax, not to spot bears lol
I also liked the 4d shows.. pirates what ever it is, and time voyagers- time voyagers was put together so well
I don't like water rides... actually hate getting wet. hate it. I did rumba rappids once, but the only reason I did it was because well... because the theme tune got stuck in my head and I wanted to just ride it, or something like that lol
I don't really do coasters either, though I did get persuaded by some park guests to ride inferno and Colossus.. both of which I probably would never do again
chessington wise, I've always liked rattlesnake. don't ask me why.... I just think it's awsome. you get such a rush from riding it
um, I actually think I've tried all the rides at chessington at least once.. finding it hard to think of something I've not been on. ah yeah, well- I never did the bumper cars at beano land because fair or theme park what ever, I don't like bumpercars
their was a time where we went to butlins in bogna and I almost fell out the car... it's put me off
I'm trying to think of the last time I went to either theme park:
last time I went to thorpe was, I think either the end of 2011 or the start of 2012..... I actually think it must have been like august or september of 2011, because they had not started advertising fright nights
as for chessington, last time I went... well quite recently actually. their was this big thing about what happened on toom blaster with the girl falling and I was their for that... so 2012 for certain
this year, I'm hoping to visit both at least once (and get my 5 rides on vortex)
how is everyone?
