I've just written a quite detailed and may I say funny account of my recent Lightwater Valley trip. Then lost it with reckless use of my F5 key! I really don't want to write it all again right now... so here is an abridged version:

Went to Lightwater Valley.

Had to wait for car park gates to open at exactly 10.

Had to wait for most of park to open at exactly 10:30

Raced to The Ultimate... got front row, first train of the day. Hurrah!!

Failed to latch onto second chain lift, rolled back. Ha.

Some people panicked, others found it funny. Loudly discussed block brakes with my girlfriend in a lame attempt to calm panicky people

Got rescued by a JCB and a Minibus.

Got a queue jumping pass (only one use on The Ultimate).

Rode Wild River Rapids... no drain in boat means sitting in a bath on a slide.

Rode the caterpillar, new credit as we didn't ride it last time.

Ate at The Granary just outside the park gates, recommenced you do too.

Rode some other stuff...

Left.

It was a great day, we didn't ride much but we really enjoyed The Ultimate and had a relaxing time between Ultimate rides. I feel the park needs a seconded larger ride to back The Ultimate up with. I know it's not the richest of parks but it's got loads of space.

Ride Count:
The Ultimate - 3.5
Wild River Rapids - 1
Twister - 1
Caterpillar - 1
Lady Bird - 1
Carousel - 1
Train - 1
