Photo TR - Rainbow Park, UK

Well, seeing as I couldn't live further from any British beach, our nearest beach is actually pretty much whichever we want to visit (hense all the credit trips).

 

This wasn't actually a credit trip - more of a family beach day. However, there is a kiddie coaster in Hunstanton that I hadn't ridden, so thought I may as well divert a bit and ride it.

 

Anyway...

 

 

 

 

Wow, once again Disney has been whitewashed when it comes to an entrance. I mean, Rainbow park just went MAD when they invested in this. OMG.

 

 

 

 

They had the usual rubbish... Waltzers, Paratrooper, Twist, Miami, Slide...

 

 

 

Oh, and a messed up claustrophobic ghetto air bomber thing.

 

 

It looked horrid. Why would you? Just why?

 

 

The Samaritans should open a branch next to this hunk o junk... why else would you be willing to pay the £2 it costs to ride?

 

 

 

Oh forget it, everyone knows why i'm really in this hole:

 

 

 

 

I don't know what's more crowd-pulling, the dull, depressing paint job or the seedy back entrance? They're right, it's the perfect family coaster!

 

 

 

 

Fuqit, for £1.50 i'd ride anything

 

 

 

 

Dragon Ride? Doesn't a sign about 6ft away say 'Sea Dragon'? Meh.

 

Oh, and, you can always tell when a park is REALLY dodgy when they operate on cash rather than a token scheme (see Coney beach).

 

 

A never before seen angle of a Nessi style coaster!

 

 

 

 

I love it really.

 

 

 

 

With that. I leave Rainbow park . Next years trip is being planned as we speak!

 

 

 

I then got some culture.

 

 

 

Laughed at some saddo (see the number plate...)

 

 

 

 

Then went to find the family at the beach (which took about 3 hours LOLZ).

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading x

LOL @ the warning sign: "Do not ride if you're a big girls blouse, a mummy's boy or a wimp!"

Lmao I love sea side 'parks' like this. Height of British culture

I would be too scared of the operator to ask to get on, you have guts!

^ They have those signs EVERYWHERE!

Haha, that claustrophobic bomber thing is an Eyerly Loop-O-Plane, and they're friggin' amazing. Unlike modern, larger rides similar to it, the counterweights don't weigh very much, so when you come down, you come down hard. There's a reason they call those things "The Hammer".

I take it that the people with the *cool* number plate are just loving the colour yellow... a yellow car with a number plate referring to the colour yellow and a yellow house?!

Going to Brighton for a stag weekend and considering getting a couple of credits at the Pier. They look dreadful though.

That pic of you on the train with the comment made me seriously laugh so hard. I love the sarcasm!

That Getto-Air bomber thing is an exciting and rare Eyerly Loop O Plane, and by the looks of it both portible and electric-operated.

 

You get some pretty intense G forces on the gas-model, but the electric one has got some kick to it as well. Shame you didn't try it, you would have really liked it.
