    2014!

    By coastergod,

    Some Members may remember me from Last year, others, may have no clue.
    I haven't been on for a good length, however, when I do, I hope to Contribute to the Community. Anyway, with everything opening soon/opened already, I decided to write a bucket list of theme parks that I would hope to achieve by the end of this year, while I have the time to do so.
    1. Thorpe- at least 3 times this year (with No merlin Pass due to financial reasons, I have to consider getting a thorpe pass- One of the reasons why, Legoland, And Chessington Aren't on the list)
    2. One DisneyLand Park
    3. Ocean Park (Doesn't matter if I can't get to this park)
    4. Blackpool Pleasure Beach (If Possible)
    5. Europa
    6. Alton (If Possible, Its quite a journey, and No Merlin Pass this year.)
    Well I hope I am On more this year!

    Blackpool part 2

    By coastergod,

    so If you are reading this then you most probably read part 1. Well now for part 2. I hope you enjoy it.
    So after All the Shenanigans mentioned in part 1 it was now time for some Proper rides, as well as some other stuff.
    We went to Pleasure beach with our wristbands and on one of the best sunny and very busy days of the year.
    We went straight to Big one, and my is that a ride. It was the longest hill I've gone up, and I could feel my heart beating and looked to my friends, one was definitely about to either vomit or s**t himself. The time had come for us to take it. The first drop of the ride. I nearly screamed that I lost my voice. all you could hear was me swearing basically. the rest of the ride was so intense as well.
    From here onwards I can't remember where we went but I do remember the rides themselves so here goes.
    Avalanche was next. I actually quite love this ride and the whole concept, and it is great fun. The queue was very short on that day, and we went on twice.
    After it was Revolution. One of my friends had looked forward to this, so I was very interested to why he was so excited about it. It is actually an alright ride and I particularly enjoy it going backwards. (I love backward rides e.g like X no way out(the old one) When going backwards everything feels so different and more scary and I definitely felt it in this ride.
    Grand National: At last, a wooden coaster. One I've been waiting to go on for a while. (europa park hadn't opened Wodan at the time I went). I love the concept and its quite fun.
    Wild mouse: Really intense for its type, not going to lie, and a great ride. One of the best rides there- not too intense, not too weak.
    Ice Blast: Good ride, and one which was walk on for us. I enjoyed it though Detonator is more scary for me. It is a faster ride for me and has more to offer, with the "blast" up being my most enjoyable part of the ride.
    Infusion: looks good though most the queues were here and we wanted to avoid the queues where possible. Hope to go on next time though!
    Big Dipper: I found it too repetitive and boring, only after a while. at first it was good, don't get me wrong, but yeah...
    I know my friends enjoy it though, but it's not my cup of tea.
    Teacups: self explanatory.
    Thrill o Matic: was quite boring, although if you were a fan of the Wallace and Gromit Series I could definitely see you enjoying this ride.
    Vahalla: The last ride we went on, and WOW. what could I say?? Great theming, amazing effects, and the backwards drop. OMG!!!! I couldn't believe it. I felt like I was going to fall out on that one, and I knew about it and freaked. I tricked my friends to sit nearer the back if they didn't want to get wet, and Lol. I knew it before hand (Thanks to Coaster Jamie).
    so in the end heres the ride count:
    Big one x1
    Avalanche x2
    revolution x2
    Grand National x1
    Wild Mouse x1
    Ice Blast x2
    Big dipper x1
    Teacups x 1
    Dodgems x1
    Vahalla x1
    Thrill o'matic(took most the time with queuing, and not worth it unless massive fan of W&G series)
    To eat: We all decided to have A simple Burger king. Chicken Royale for me and big whoopers for my friends. (I'm not a massive fan of burger king's beef Horse burgers)
    Dinner: we just got some fish and chips near in Blackpool (Harry Ramsden)
    Back to hotel: Hilton (to the gym and swimming pool and sauna/steam room)
    The day after Pleasure beach we decided to hit the normal beach. Central Beach ,wasn't really for our liking, so we decided to go a few miles to Lytham St Annes. They have the best ice cream I have tasted. Its a calm beach with massive sand dunes. Only problem is the sea is a F****ing mile away from the main beach, otherwise its a great place and I highly recommend it.
    That day we returned to Blackpool for dinner and we had it near Central pier. Really nice place, can't remember what its called but its by the Blackpool information office(tourist). They have different stuff but I recommend any type of bread by them or dough like a pizza, although if you aren't a fan there is lots to offer. You can sit inside or outside and again I would recommend highly.
    Overall this was one of my best trips and those who are reading this, it is the end of the journey. Thanks!

    My first post

    By coastergod,

    So here is my first Post on my first ever blog. If you are here by mistake have a look around(when I actually have posts) otherwise you are free to leave.
    A bit about me:
    I live near Thorpe, and currently a standard merlin annual pass holder(soon to expire). I am 15 years of age, and love anything coaster related, to the records and heights to just the pure fun of riding them. I have many other hobbies which include, music, and theatre. I do a bit of dance, where most notable people met doing so are Louis Smith, Wayne sleep, and The groups Flawless, and Alleviate. I hope to talk more about coasters in my next post in the mean time, I hope you enjoy this post!

    Blackpool

    By coastergod,

    So, I decided to go to blackpool, for some fun. First day I decided to hit the arcades. I went to the North pier as well as the local arcades. For the first time I was winning, and I made a profit of £5 on those 10p machines. I also had a shot and fun with my friends with the shooting games, and basketball and the racing game(like the one at Thorpe). IN the end I WON ALL OF THEM. This was a first. I never really won at arcades.
    The next day I hit the rides at the piers as well as well as visiting some of the shops nearby.
    Central pier: Crazy frogs-A fun ride, although it wasn't really the ride for me.
    Dodgems- Explains itself
    Extreme- A similar ride to quantum except with shoulder restraints. Great ride. picture:
    Waltzers- A great ride, which really was funny seeing my friends S**t themselves as they underestimated it.
    After we headed to south pier
    Log flume- Quite amazing to have a log flume on a pier, and at points there is great views.
    Breakdance- a fun ride similar to waltzer, great to see some of my friends s**t themselves. Picture:
    Ghost train: a great ride to calm down and actually some fun with parts where you can laugh at your friends for being scared.
    Skycoaster: Such a great ride, just a tad expensive. The build up as you are going up is quite tense.

    Skyscreamer: Just as we were launched I was swearing an shouting. as we were going down, I was loving it. Pictures: what you sit in
    In midair
    More to come...
