 blackkisses5791's recommendation | |
The weather was cool and it rained a little so that helped in the queues and it wasn't too busy (mainly because we went at the end of august)
So much walking around to get to different rides, (the sky rides were working, but the queues were ridiculous)
I must firstly point out that we only went to the theme park for the day, not to the hotels. We made it onto loads of rides which was good the only rides we didn't go on were the flume and Rita (mainly because the queues were very long for those rides.) We managed to get on oblivion 6 times and corkscrew 3 times, the longest queue we were in was 45 minutes, which wasn't too bad. We got through the gates at around 9:30, so it wasn't too busy in the morning. It got quite busy around midday, we stayed until the rides closed at 6:00, however this meant that there was a long queue for the monorail so we had to walk from the entrance to the park all the way to the car park which wasn't fun. We didn't have much to eat but it was quite expensive, the toilets (when we could find them) were clean however, sometimes they didn't flush. Some of the rides, like nemesis and air kept breaking down but only for a short while and the staff on the rides kept us well informed on what was happening. The traffic on the way out of the park was terrible, there were alot of people trying to get out at the same time, which was quite annoying. I felt that this time was better than last year where it was really hot, but there were loads of people and we spent half the time queuing, so we only managed to get in 4 rides.
