Le Summer Pt.1

Okay, Okay. The title is cheesey, but I couldn't think of anything better.


..Lately I've been feeling a little guilty for not posting anything recently, so I figured there were a few moments during my summer that you, the readers, deserve to know about. Because I'm generous like that :)



First up..
 BlackPool Pleasure Beach
:D
For all of you who live outside of the UK and/or have never heard of the Pleasure Beach, it's an amusement park placed right next to BlackPool beach (looking to the Irish Sea) and is EXACTLY as cheesey as it sounds! It's the sort of place where if you were to say to somebody "BlackPool Pleasure Beach" their first thoughts would be a mix of childhood nostalgia, freshly cooked doughnuts and some seriously brilliant rides!


Obviously you can't go somewhere like this on your own (it's just not as fun) I had to go with a friend, called Flabbey, and since we live so far away my parents came along for the sightseeing *cough* and transport *cough*

Didn't win this time..

As a kid, my family used to visit Blackpoop Blackpool quite often to see family, and we had this game when whoever saw the tower first received 20p off each family member in the car.
After queuing for flippin' ages we finally got into the park, danced around a little and hit the rides, starting with the good ol' wooden Grand National. Nice and gentle because Flabbey hadn't actually been on a theme park ride before.. Oh was she in for it! XD

Almost there!!

There were literally thousands of visitor's there that day so every ride we went on we had to queue. The Tango Ice Blast took the cake a bit since we had to wait for about an hour and a half for a minute long ride.. Wasn't even as if we were in shade either. Y-OUCH!

Well worth the wait...

On the Ice Blast, you get shot up to 180ft in the air at 80mph, left dangling for a while to take in the spectacular sea view (I did mention it was next to the beach right?) and then brought crashing back down.. Then up, then down, then up once more and finally touch down! I swore we were just going to shoot off the top of the thing!! 

After, we kind of just pootled around the park, going on another wooden ride, eating chips, watching rides go around and up and down and eating a bit more we finally plucked up the courage to go on..

The..

.

...

Pepsi Max Big One!!

I mean... Just look at it! D:

Before this, I'd only been on the Big One once before and my fingers had to be peeled off the bars in front of me.

Now before anybody judges me, the ride's highest point is 235ft high from sea level with a first drop of 205ft, that almost corkscrew's on the way down at 74mph, giving the feeling you're about to fall to your doom, and at some points subjecting you to 3.5G, on a track that is just over a mile long. It is a 3 minute ride of sheer terror/thill/excitement/pant pooping fun that has you speechless and gagging for a drink at the end.

Get the picture...?

It's that high it actually has aeroplane hazard light on top. -_-

The ascent

What was nice, was when a friend notices your fear on the way up at about 200ft and attempting calm you by saying "Hey, let's who can see a boat first.."

Great job Flabbey, great job.

*Edit* I'm sorry but this video really doesn't do the ride any justice, especially without sound
After all that, we went on it again for a second time round.


My round's on the Pepsi Max = 3 
:D
FEARLESS I TELL 'YE!!! 

Fortunately the park was open until 9pm that day so me and Flabb's spent even more time eating and generally just having a ball on the other rides and coin pusher machines. 
Hopefully we'll get to go again sometime so I can shove Flabb's onto Infusion (she wimped out) and also go on Valhalla as we didn't get the chance.


So my question is.. 
Who out there like's Theme/Amusement Parks, and what's the best bit about them? :)

P.s. My feet are that cold they've gone numb. No word of a lie.
P.p.s. Here's my twitter.. @JunkiPie

Taiyaki (たい焼き, literally "baked sea bream") is a Japanese fish shaped cake. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened adzuki beans.

For those who have never had it before... you're seriously missing out! 

C'est délicieux ^^

Lop-sided and too fast but FyAAH!

Also, I just dyed my hair. It was the colour of a Tangoed dead chicken (honestly, I quite liked it :$) , but now, I think it's more of a coppery ginger :) Which I don't mind too much either!

Whatssap!
