humn, is it me or is there something missing on the Pirate Ship ;)

ahhhhh here it is, How did it get there I wonder, lol

Look what was lying around in the Car Park, The Boats for Excalibur

A close up of one of the boats, notice the nice themeing on the back of them

And here is one of the rides I was hoping to ride, the mighty Maelstrom

Maelstrom continues its testing

Even though the ride appeared to be testing fine as shown here, the Ride sadly broke down and was unfortunutly down ALL DAY, the engineers were working constantly all day to get it working but sadly their efforts were wasted. They did even get as far as a test run later in the day either, a big disapointment as I was looking forward to riding this :(

Well enough of Maelstrom, lets see if that ride in the distance would be working today

It doesnt look that tall, but when you ride it, its a lot taller than it appears

Thankfully we did get to ride this ride and it suffered no known brakedowns either

This shows the Floorless section rising in the air, overall I rode the Floorless side 2 times, The Stand Up Side 2 times, and the sit down 3 times

Time to check out the new ride Excalibur, here we see the Main Tower that will present the load/unload station, apologies for the photo quality on this BTW

Some rather nice themeing has appeared outside the entrance for the ride

More nice themeing

A shot showing Storm Force 10 and Shockwave

Sadly I didnt ride Shockwave today as the queue was always too long most of the time, but I did ride Storm Force 10 for the first time however :)

The Helix on the Buffalo Coaster, This ride broke down later in the day too

Storm Force 10 in testing mode, at least that hasnt broken down, well not yet anyway ;)

I was quite pleased with this photo of Shockwave as I took it on the Buffalo Coaster, and was suprised how well it came out :)

Shockwave's Massive Loop and Drop

Shockwave going up the lift hill, also I dont know if it was me, but it seemed to go up really slow for some reason

The train goes down the first drop, however this photo was slighty ruined by the annoying wooden post blocking my view,BAH

Shockwave's Final Corkscrew

Shockwaves enters the First Corkscrew

A Boat on Storm Force 10 enters the backwards drop where you get very wet if you're sitting in the back, again sorry for the slighty poor quality of the photo
