June 9, 2006 - London

My plane arrived at 11:00 am instead of 10:00 because we took off about an hour late! Once I landed, I went to London for a couple of hours. The London Eye gives you a great view of London. After spending a couple of hours in London I got to the hotel about 6:00 pm. I wanted to sleep but I forced myself to stay up until about 10:00 pm because I wanted to avoid jet lag as much as possible.

Here are my pictures from London:

June 10, 2006 - Chessington World of Adventures

This was the official start of the TPR UK Trip 2006. We had ERT on Vampire and Dragon Fury in the morning. Dragon Fury is the best spinning coaster that I have ever been on! They had one of the best dark rides I have ever been on! I had a good time at the park and I found some new favorite rides.

June 10, 2006 - Coney Beach

After we left Chessington World of Adventures R&E surprised us by announcing that we were going to stop by Coney Beach! Coney Beach is the craziest park that I have ever been to! They had sand bags in the trains of Megablitz and there was tons a trash under the coaster! I also rode a kiddie coaster and I would have rode another coaster but the other people on the trip broke it before I could ride it!

Great photos there! Dragons Fury is one insane ride, has to be the best in wild mouse technology. It's also the best ride I can manage to get my girlfriend to go on more than once!

June 11, 2006 - Oakwood

Oakwood was one of the parks on the trip that I was looking forward to visiting because of Speed. The morning started out with an hour of ERT on Speed a whole hour before the park opened! After riding Speed a couple of times it became one of my favorite coasters. During the ERT I got a total of 14 rides on Speed. Once the park opened I headed over to Megafobia, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be but it was still a fun coaster. After I got the other two credits in the park I did the Vertical Slide and for some reason it scared me! After lunch some of us headed over to the Crystal Maze. I had so much fun at the Crystal Maze I forgot to take pictures.

June 12, 2006 - Alton Towers

I was looking forward to visiting this park because it had one of my most anticipated coasters on the trip! I have been wanting to ride Nemesis for about 6 years and I finally got to ride it. Nemesis is now my new favorite inverted coaster. We had an hour of ERT on Rita a hour before the park opened. And we ended the day with about 30 minutes of ERT on my new favorite inverted coaster.

June 13, 2006 - Drayton Manor

The morning started out with ERT Nemesis and Air before heading to Drayton Manor. We didn't need as long as we thought we would at the park since we ended up leaving about an hour early. Its pretty bad when a shooter ride and a drop ride are some of the best things a park has to offer! Also, I'm glad I got to the coach before the rain started to pour down. Once we arrived at the Big Blue hotel we welcome snacks and a pub quiz.

Great Photo's, can't wait to see more.

Just a few points, Dragon's Fury & Spinball Whizzer are not Mouse coasters, and that train on Oblivion is being re-furbished, the whole ride is.

June 14, 2006 - Southport Pleasureland

The Fun House was the best attraction at this park! I had a lot of fun on the wheel and I can't wait to do it again someday. I wish I took some pictures of the Fun House! =( After the Fun House we had ERT on two coasters which left one credit to get after the park opened since the other two credits were closed! Also, we jammed three boats together on the dark ride.

June 14, 2006 - South Pier and Big Dipper ERT

After we left Southport Pleasureland we headed back to BPBand we had ERT on the Dig Dipper. After the ERT on the Big Dipper I headed to South Pier to get my 200th credit. My 200th credit was Crazy Mouse and I rode it two times. Once I got back to the hotel I took advantage of the free WiFi in the lobby.
