Another cool thing we did at Oakwood was the Crystal Maze. My team won even though the computer crashed during one of our games. |
Only once? Ted,Catrina, and I managed to crash them 3 times I think.
We really sucked at that game, though at least we didn't finish last. Still fun though.

Ah, yes--I remember "What the hell is this?"
No vertical slide? Heck, I survived the vertical slide (only to nearly crash and burn on the wooden slide at Flamingoland). You so have to try the vertical slide next time, Nicole.

Day 3: Alton Towers
Alton Towers was another favorite park of mine on the trip. One reason for this was I have been wanting to ride Nemesis for like ten years, ever since I saw it on a coaster TV show. Nemesis was the most anticipated coaster for me anywhere in the world because I have known about it for so long. Actually seeing and riding it for the first time was like a dream. For the first time, it really hit me that I WAS over in the UK, doing something I have always wanted to do. OK, I'll shut up now.

Day 4: Drayton Manor
Drayton Manor is home to that X-Car Coaster called G-Force. I had been looking forward to that ride, but once I saw it in person, I knew it was going to be painful. The "lift hill" was cool, but after that my restraint killed me. I will definitely not be riding that again.
We rode the standup with floor side of Apocalypse; that was fun and a unique experience for me. It is only the second Intamin drop tower I've ever ridden.

Day 5: Southport Pleasureland
Southport was kind of disappointing to me. Two of their coasters were closed, and the flyers were dismantled. The funhouse was fun, I guess.

If you're talking about Vortex at Paramount Canada's Wonderland, then I'd have to disagree. I highly doubt that there's any coasters worse than it.
Well, that's probably because the last couple times I rode it, the cars smelt like someone had puked in them, but they hadn't been cleaned right.
