A few weeks ago, I made the long journey to Helston and bideford for flambards and the milky way.
After stressful overnight coach journey (The coach from bimringham-bristol was 1.5 hours late, and we had to make an extra stop at birmingham airport to change drivers, I arrived at bristol with about 5 minutes of the 2 hours change time before the coach on from Bristol to Exeter. Train from exeter to redruth and bus on to helston were uneventful.
Once in Flambards, I had half an hour between park opening and rides opening, so I explored the Victorian village and war museum - both pretty well done, and you could spend a good hour in there!
There were victorian shops:
A Victorian baby room
Some old bitch
With one of those new fangled oven things
A Victorian school
Oooh - A village fete!
and a Victorian no entry sign...
Before heading to the war museum, I spotted a "low battery" sign on my camera - it had been left on for a bit, so I had to economise
The war museum had a plane cockpit
Some handy hints (not sure how this ended up so blurred)
a plane
and some subliminal advertising
It was then on to what I came for!
One of those nice fun little bouncy towers
Didn't ride the vomitron
Did the little log flume and balloon ride behind it!
They had one of those cool sciency things
with mirrors!
and one of those funpark-esque laser maze things
and of course - the hornet roller coaster
Nice fun - I had a bonus breakdown on the last ride - got stuck near the end for about 5 minutes, it left me totally traumatised.
oh - and I had to laugh at this sign in the cars
Braking "may" occur! more like the car will screech to a halt as if it's ran into a brick wall!!
They also had another trip down fun-park memory lane
and various other crappy kid rides and playground things
I then headed on to the hotel in barnstaple ready for the milky way the next day!
