Photo TR: Adventure Island (Southend) 17th December 2005


Recommended Posts

Not much is open when it’s the close season here in England, but when you know one or two are open there no reason, but to go for a coaster fix and have a laugh at the same time.

 

Saturday just gone, myself and a bunch of friends all went to Adventure Island. After finding an Adventure Island booklet at Southend Victoria Station with a 3 for 2 offer ending end of this year, become very useful for the nine of us. After arriving at the park just after 11 we all got our wristbands to be welcomed to a near empty park with no more than about 150 people and stayed like that till we all had enough and left just after 4.

 

Some rides were close sadly which we didn’t mine but one out the three coasters wasn’t operating Green Scream (Zierer / Tivoli - Max ) so two out the group couldn’t get the credit. We all did various stuff and games, which the photos will help explain otherwise I will jabber on and make this trip report a essay lol. Enjoy.

Amazing!

 

I'm going to be visiting with friends in Southend-on-Sea, a week or so before the "official start" of the TPR UK Tour next June!

 

Now it looks like I might get one or two extra credits in that the others won't, hee hee hee.

 

Thanks for sharing your c-c-c-c-cold adventures, lol.

Thanks Toby for posting some pictures, yeah it was pretty darn cold there last Saturday.

I think I can say for everyone that we all had a good & fun day at Southend.

 

Bit if a shame that Green Scream was closed, maybe next time

That game, I won all those tickets was not easy, it was all down to skill

 

A couple of my pics

 

Archelon - The wave swinger

 

Barnstormer - The launched Zerier

 

Mighty Mini Mega - Not very mighty - it is mini - certainly not mega. Okay it is'nt bad for a Pinfari

 

Toby & Alice on the water slide - yeah its 3 degrees above zero & the water rides are open

 

Nick on the Whip - no idea what your up to there mate :shock:
