My feet hurt :o

Day at the park is complete! And a right royal laugh it has been. Currently chilled in the hotel before we go get drunk :D

Should be some funny pics when we get home to post them, so watch this space!
 
Great day! It didn't even rain! :cool: Now time for a kip, and then mucho beers later ;) Great meet so far, all a great bunch of people - as ever great to put names to faces. Definitely a good turn out - excellent! :)
 
Nemesis rocks, Air rocks, and most of all OcUK members rock :D

What a cool day, I think I may even have slight sunburn :)

MORE beer required.

Okay folks, here's a couple of early Alton Towers pics for you :

Just going up into the Rapids station:-

As the boats swing round, it was pure luck that I got this shot:-

I'm thinking of going to alton towers on sunday. is that a bad idea? is it likely to be packed?
 
It was busier than I expected today, but still ok. There's likely to be a few more if the weather is good though, but you'd probably get on all the major rides.
 
did you guys get to go on rita today? It broke down while i was there yesterday :(. Did get 3 goes on air and nemesis though. I hope your day was as good as ours was yesterday, havent had so much fun in ages :D
 
No, Rita was "closed for filming" according to the signs, but no-one had actually seen any filming, last I heard. Didn't know it broke down yesterday.

The plot thickens ...
 
We got home at 8pm and we made it home without getting lost, woot :D

We've both had a great day, dont think we managed to talk to everyone but everyone we did get to chat to as usual were great people.

The tiggy who said she didnt think she'd go on any of the rides actually sat at the front on nemesis the 2nd time around :cool:

Both of us would've liked to have been able to stay and go out for a drink, never mind, roll on august and the camping weekend :D

Can someone put the names to the faces in this image please?

I can see piggymon and Desmo in the top boat looking down and that looks like freefallers head above Desmo's.

Is that Otacon looking round too?

The rest I dont know :(

Yup, that's Freefaller. And Otacon looking round, and Garp directly behind him.

And in the nearer boat, Jhadur and Takhisis with their backs to the camera, Flibster and Mrs Flibster opposite them, Belmit on the right and Show (IIRC) on the left.
 
Hmmm, the similarities are uncanny, perhaps frightening ..

Could it be that Otacon is really a Cyberdine Systems T-1000, sent from the future to whack John Connor ?

Sorry Otacon. :D

I really do think that, ears aside, you have more than a passing resemblance to Robert Patrick in his younger day.

By special request, a couple more photos:

On the Ripsaw:

You can see the water dripping off Garp's knuckles as he wrings out his fleece!

Drying out the Piggycardy. (Or doing an impression of "Buster Gonad" :D)
