Well yesterday was supposed to be a fun day out with the kids, so I got down there at about 10:30, and we set off for Thorpe Park, Faye did not really want to go, but the other two have been asking for so long I thought it would be fun and hopefully Faye would enjoy it once she was there.
Well to start with we set off down the M20 without any trouble but then I saw signs saying the M25 had long delays, and they were right, at junction 8 there had been a nasty looking accident, hopefully no one was seriously hurt, the effect on us was a one and a half hour journey took nearly 5 hours and we did not get to Thorpe Park until 3:20 so we only had 3 hours there.
We then queued to go on Storm Surge, which looked like a fun ride, and after 40 minutes we were about 5 mins from the front of the queue when the ride was stopped and we were told it would not be working for some time and we should not wait! grr this day was getting worse!!! well the kids were getting hungry so we went to Pizza Hut and had some food.
Me and George then went on DETONATOR, which is a fun ride and had a short queue so that was good, Faye and Erin wanted to try Storm Force again so we went back and it was open, so we went on it this time we managed to get on and it was a good ride, but by the time we had queued and been on the ride it had now passed 6pm, so the park was closing, all in all a long day for 2 rides :-(
I've promised George I will take him again by himself as he enjoys the bigger rides, Faye and Erin both seem to prefer Chessington!
