Then it was off to EPCOT! First up was Soarin, then lunch:

In bag shot:

Then we did Mission Space and after that a ride that we hadn't done before:

A very dated ride in need of refurb. They should have refurbished this instead of Test Track.

Some wildlife:

We then did Maelstrom and went for a walk around World Showcase. In German we terrorised a cast member with masses of change whilst buying chocolate:

Loved these and their factory in Berlin!

Jordan tried on some hats:

Meh. I always laugh at hooter.

To watch:

The show is good. Cleopatra is certainly a highlight!:

After this I seemed to give up taking photos. We rode RoTM and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey before heading back to the villa to get an early night, ahead of a busy day.

Your trip reports are the most enjoyable that I read. I usually go to Florida every 2 years or so. It's great to see your opinions!

Did you do the meet and greet with megatron?

Well, that concludes the America part of this group of trip reports. Watch this space for UK parks!

"Quite a contrast from Golden Corral:"

And still a million times better than the plane food!!

That's not much of an achievement!

Wow, Daniel, calm down.

Your report from Florida took 621 from your first post to you last, this one only took 85 days!

I know I haven't commented after every update because that'd help no one, but I have really enjoyed reading your reports, the memories from just 4 months ago come flooding back with every picture. I'll hopefully keep updating my report with more days, it's just finding the time is difficult.

Time for the UK leg of this trip report!

The first park was Fantasy Island. I had visited earlier in the year but Odyssey was closed.

My sister wanted the creds. Upon arrival my parents decided to sit in the car and all the coasters were closed. It was not looking good!

But, this was sitting in the car park:

So I got a bonus cred.

The coasters then slowly started to open. So we rode Rhombus's Rocket, Fantasy Mouse and Millennium Coaster.

Then I suddenly heard a lift hill start... It was Odyssey!
People were going round on it!
However it was soon closed by management as no safety checks had been conducted. But once the checks were complete it was open!

I really enjoyed Odyssey! It wasn't that rough and the first drop was incredible!

We then moved onto Bottons:

Sarah got spited by Rock N Roller but we rode everything else. That is literally it on Bottons as there is nothing else worth saying.

Next up Yorkshire!

Lightwater Valley:

My first ever trip to Lightwater! It is a nice little park.

First up:

I was very excited to get this cred!

It was absolutely brutal on the second part of the ride, but I liked it! The coaster is well paced and has good drops. I hate to think what it was like when it had OTSRs.

Next up was:

I was very impressed by Raptor Attack, what a great little coaster! The theming is decent for a park of Lightwater's size.
Raptor Attack is a very fun coaster.

The next cred to get was:

Spot the train!

Standard Tivoli. Nothing more to be said about it.

Next up was the spinner, Twister. So average I don't even have a photo.

Next up was the big apple, with fab theming:

A +1 Nothing more.

With the creds done it was time to check out some flat rides. Starting with:

I was very impressed! Whirlwind blows Samurai out of the water!
Whirlwind is so much more intense and you feel like you are going to be smashed into the ground, multiple times!

Last up was:

I was also impressed with Eagle's Claw!!
Just as above this ride at Lightwater blows the Thorpe equivalent out of the water!

Eagle's Claw is just so intense!

That concluded my day at Lightwater Valley.
On the way out I noticed Human Centipede, the ride:

I then bumped into Mushroom and Rebel at Peterborough services.
