On Cloud 9!!!
Well started off at 9 ish in the morning :| And what a beautiful morning it was :love:

I was on pins all the way really in hope that my car would make it :$ ......landed about 11.20 and chilled till a few of the others arrived :thumbsup:

Got into the park and it wasnt long before the jacket came off and we were on the 1st ride.........NEMESIS! ;) :jumpin:

Superb way to kick start the day.....then we made our way over to the RIP SAW :D most of the gang had already been on so it was just me and Shorty!!!!:roll:

Lost everyone after this point and our little group had to walk due to my fear of the cable cars and ended up lost in the wilderness for sumtime :rofl:

After finding civilisation once more we decided to stick to the main pathways and did our own thing from here on in..... :thumbsup: :fekked:

Did the water rides pretty early on so it was nice and warm to dry off hehehe ;) ;) :loo:

Spinball Whizzer - Highly recommended and lots of fun to go on :thumbsup: :crazy: :head:

Rita - Bloodyhell :| :eek: Pheeeeewwwwww tip top...what a set off....ya leave yer stomach at the beginning and collect it at the end :rofl::car::car:

Managed to fcuk the camera up as the drink exploded in my bag and wet it through..so only got 5 or 6 pics to up :( :cry:

Jumped on the runnaway mine train and ended up on there with a bunch of loons (top guys) cheering and laughing, so we got an extra doo :p :drevil:

Twas an all round top day....but the ride of the day is still OBLIVION for sheer terror factor :jawdrop: ............ :crazy: :roll: love it!!!

Managed to fit everything i wanted to in without any queing apart from Rita...which was pretty good goin i think :thumbsup: :bounce4:

Was bloody tired when i got home though:sleep:, it is a long day :$ and after much ducking and diving up the M6 from the bloody wagons (ban them i say) :mad: we landed home about 8 o clock and proceeded straight to the chinese takeaway to see a great end to a great day :D :D :D :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

Twas an excellent day all round. The weather was so good to us...made it a treat to be off work :p

As Deb's says, we manged to meet most of the crew, but then proceeded to go off-roading in the woods. Was a nice 30 min hike to get us back to the exact same spot we started from - doh!!

We did our own thing the rest of the day as we didn't have a great deal of time to get on the ride and have a bite to eat etc...

Was a shame really as didn't get chance to say hiya to everyone.

Was great though and will prob catch up with some of you at Hazy :thumbsup:

Huge thanks to Debs and Dan for taking me down there :thumbsup:

Mel...did you get on the Cable car???

Firstly, big thanks to the lovely Claireb :love: for arranging this wonderful day.

Had a really good day and the weather was superb :D

Me and Craig got there about 10.30ish so we had plenty of time to go on all the rides we wanted to go on :thumbsup:

Rita was my best ride by far, it was unbelievably fast! We kept watching everyone's face as it took off and it was soooo funny!

We went on the log flume and I stupidly put my bag in the corner, not thinking that it would get wet DOH!!! Anyway, my phone was totally fooked, along with everything else I had in it :( Luckily Claireb :love: gave me the battery out of her old phone and it's now working fine. Thanks chicken, you're the besteset :love: :love:

Looking forward to the next OSA outing :D

See ya all on Sat :thumbsup:

Vic :love:
