Alton Towers! *captions from the collective talents of James, Tom, and Az...*

[notsoliljames]

I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams... (scary Aaron)



Aaron loves Tom. Aaron doesn't love James. Nofair. *sob*



Air - Okay.. so... we queued for this godforsaken ride for 1 and a quarter hours, because it broke down when we were half way into the queue, and literally just as we were waiting to get on. (But there was a very pretty lady who was talking to us - Tom). Anyway, this very pretty lady proceeded to tell us that this was the 4th time that said ride had broken down that day... "Do you mean the first time today it broke down, or the time before last?" Oh, and there were also these people who didn't seem to be doing anything but watching us queue. We got quite scared.



This European Air, it always warms my face, I wish I could buy some... this was from "Buy Air now, collect later!" - Alton Towers, and the Athlete gig which is appearing on Tuesday... *collective bounce*



This was one of the odd ones that's like a ferris wheel on speed... it starts off horizontal, goes to vertical, and back to horizontal again.

QOTD 1: James: "Is it close, or is it just really big?"



This was Enterprise swinging round almost vertical kinda fast.



This is Ripsaw. Kinda a swingy sort of thing that swings you up and down...



Look, I told you!



Oh, and there's this really sadistic guy who sits in a little cabin, pressing these buttons. They happen to drench you with water when you're hanging vertical...



Like this... (mwahahahaha)

QOTD 2: Tom: "How Not To Get Wet, By Tom Johnson" - for anyone who's interested, you sit on the back row. But you still get very wet.



'Cos then you look like this.



At the beginning, we went on Nemisis.



Queues weren't too long, and it was fun...



Especially the loops.



And there there was Oblivion. Oblivion is kinda scary. You go up a bit, and round a bit, and then you drop so you're facing down. And you stay there.



And then you stay there.



And then you drop.



Into a big hole. In the ground.



And then you buy lots of candyfloss, and walk around stuffing your faces with candyfloss. Pink candyfloss.

QOTD 3: Aaron: "How hard are we?!"

And then when you finally get out of the park, you drive home in a rainstorm. And snap pics James thought were pretty.



And another one.



And then by the time you get home and beer is being offered around...



Kind of a good day, really. *grin*
