Had a good day today at Thorpe with a friend , except for the stupid amounts of rain
Got there around tennish. We headed for the back of the park first, as there were hundreds of people flocking to the Swarm, and got to Saw before it opened, and then only a 5 min wait! Some of the day was just me and my friend, and sometimes we met up with my Brother and my mum to eat lunch etc. Spent a lot of time in the arcade wasting money and in the dome eating lunch as the rain was horrid. Went about threeish because my brother was having moaning because he wanted to go on Minecraft.
Ride count:
Swarm x1
Saw x1
Nemesis Inferno x1
Stealth x1
Samurai x1
X x1
Loggers' x2
Rumba x1
Pros:
-Managed to get a really good ORP on Nemesis Inferno
-Some queues were actually really short (the longest I saw all day was Swarm with 75 mins and I'm a Celeb with 65)
-Slammer was actually working, even though my friend said we shouldn't go on it so I didn't.
-I got my friend to go on Samurai, thus completing her list of rides done at Thorpe (I beat her AND she'd done all the big five before I)
-My mum gave me an extra Kitkat.
-The lady that printed out our photo in the dome was great with my whinging brother and really chatty; makes my day when they're nice to guests.
- Got our own boat on Loggers' and Rumba
Cons:
-Rain
-rain
-rain
-Going on Stealth in the rain is like having a satanic porcupine's needles shoved into your face at high speed.
-Had to take a massive detour past Colossus to get to Nemesis Inferno due to a lorry trundling its way along the path by I'm a Celeb
-Storm Surge existing
-Samurai was good but painfully short
-My phone kept being an idiot and cutting out, then turning on for ten seconds, then cutting out etc etc
-the seats on Stealth were small ponds by the time we sat on them.
-rain
Overall it was a good day, but not the best time I have ever had there.
