Thorpe Park

On Friday months of organizing and getting stressed out paid of. We all went to Thorpe Park and it was a blast. Of course not everything went to plan but i still had a great day. 

I have been organizing this trip for months and Hannah was 2ND in command. 

We had all arranged to meet up at Chandler's Ford Station where a mini-bus driven by Hannah's mum would take us to the park. I got to the station at 8.15 and i told everyone to be there at 8.20 hence i was surprised to see most people were already there. Now before we left 2 things went wrong: 1st. The mini-bus was late and arrived at 8.45 cause it apparently couldn't get out of a driveway cause of another car. Hence we left late and arrive at the park for 10. (I wanted to get there earlier so we were in for opening time). 2ND. Jared who was supposed to come with us never turned up. We waited till 8.50 and then gave up. We phoned and texts him many times and we still haven't had any reply. So 11 of us went. Me, Emily, Tom, Alex, Steve, Bass, Hannah, James, Andy, Jacob and Saff.

So we got there and everyone paid their money. Then we split up in to two groups. I stayed with Ems and Tom. Emily doesn't like rides so our mission was to start small and slowly but surly she would like rides more. This of course failed. We started small with things like flying fish, X:/No Way Out (i love this ride so much. Best ride in the park) and Quantum . Then out of frustration of me still not going on anything big as me hanging out with ems i tried to make her go on rush. This failed but i still went on it with Alex, Tom and saff. Then i think we had a quick lunch due to a lot of us wanting to ride Stealth. So stealth was awesome and it produced this: 

I love stealth. Each time i ride it the funnier the picture of me is. This means when i go back to Thorpe on July 7Th with maths the stealth pic will be even better. I love stealth so much. It wakes me up and makes my hair wonderfully windswept. I want to go on it every morning.

Next i decided to doing something i hadn't done before. See time voyagers. Whilst we were queuing Emily pulled this face (look at pic). That's Emily being a Chinese old man. Time Voyagers is a 3d show with water and seat vibration. It had replaced pirates 4-d. I thought pirates was better. Time voyagers made no sense whatsoever but we did get more wet. 

Then after messing around a bit we ended up near saw. I wanted to ride but Tom and Ems didn't so i looked for a single rider entrance but there wasn't one. I didn't want to queue for 70 mins by myself so i called upon Steve and Saff to join me. They did. We all went on it and it was so gd. Hannah, alex, andy and bass also went on saw. It's such a gd ride. The inside bit is amazing and absolutely scary. Whilst queuing ur surrounded by many traps from the films which spooked me and saff out. Then inside there are many sound effects which kept making saff jump. We boarded our train and i was terrified. All i could see ahead of me was darkness. I will explain what happens inside but i urge u if ur going to ride this do not read this as it will seriously spoil the ride's experience. The car turns a corner and jigsaw comes along on his bike. Says the usual thing like i want to play a game blah blah blah. Then u turn a corner and suddenly u see two double ended axes and ur heading straight towards them (AHHHHHHH). Of course instead of hitting them you drop just before them and instead come v close to some spikes. Then u stop and listen to some scaring sound effects. Then u do a barrel roll. When ur upside down there is a dead body beneath you lovely. Then you go outside. This lift is hell but is over quickly. The ride is amazing. 2ND best in park (1st. Stealth, 3rd Colossus, 4Th Nemesis).

So my day was great. It wasn't dry but i didn't care. Also i can now once again say that i have been on every ride in Thorpe Park. 


2day i had my history unit 2 exam. It went fine. For part b i did Attlee. gd exam

Nothing left to say. 2morrow i start college again joy.
