Re: Photo TR : Lunapark, Fréjus, France

Postby Groteslurf » Sat Jul 09, 2011 6:10 am

Last week, my kids, wife & me rented a villa in the South of France.
I saw on the internet that there was actually a themepark in the same city as we stayed in but I couldn't find anything back anywhere on coaster nor themeparksites.
By accident I saw a flyer of Lunapark in the supermarket, so the same evening I went to check it out. It turned out to be closed though but it didn't look like a dump so I assumed it would only be open in the evening and so it was.

Lunapark website : www.lunapark-frejus.com/

It's actually only open during summer, so it's more of a funfair than a themepark I think, although it's there 3 months a year.

A few weeks ago, it was time for another holiday in the Usa. I signed up for the TPR NE trip, but we arrived a few days early so we decided to rent a car and drive South to revisit KD and BGE. In fact the main reason for us doing so was I-305, which wasn't there yet during our last visit in 2008.

I really hate the intercontinental flights. To comfort myself a bit, I bought a Gordon Ramsey lunch at Heathrow, where I would meet up with Hans for our flight to Newark.

The food was very good, but after finishing this, the flight lunch was served and it all was a bit too much

After a long travel day, the next morning at 6 am we were ready for the drive to KD. Our rental car reminded me of Pulp Fiction for some reason.

Lots of space. The handling of the car after every slightest road bump was very special though. The car seemed like jumping after every bump and we had to correct the wheels after every jump. Well, we got used to it quite fast so no problem.

While Dennis and Werner were going to stay till closing time, we left the park at about 6 pm and headed for Williamsburg. Just after Richmond, we ended up in a giant a$$ thunderstorm, one we've never experienced before out here. The only thing we could do on the highway, was staying close and follow the rear lights of the car in front of us. As we also didn't have too much fuel anymore, we decided to play safe and get of the highway and park somewhere and wait for hell to end, which soon happened and we enjoyed a nice evening in Williamsburg. TR of BGE coming soon. Thanks for reading.

Glad to see you enjoyed Kings Dominion! I think you got here right at the end of the brutal heat wave that hit most of the east coast right before the NE Trip began. KD is not a good park to visit during a heat wave!

Nice shots! Judging from the photo of the bridge which follows the hotel shot, was the hotel you stayed at the best western in west deptford?

^^Wow, you certainly know your hotels !!!!! I had to look it up, but that is exactly the hotel we stayed at :omg:

Steve, that's right, it was just before the NE trip. And I agree, that KD is not the park to visit during a heat wave. There is almost no shade at the park. But despite the heat, we had a great day at KD

EB, Robin, thanks for the compliments.
