It was the last day of the 2010 season, and Alton was such a long long way away..... so welcome to Chertsey, home of Britain's Thrill Capital!
Home of, amongst other things.... Slammer and Colossus ♥
And so begins the long waiting game.......
It was cold - but thankfully, there were no wolves after me!
Neal's favourite "coaster track through foliage shot" (TM-March2010)
Fun Fact For The Day - Nemesis Inferno is, surprisingly, one of the least photogenic coasters in the world!
This wingover consists of 72% JOY - as you have probably surmised, it's rather good.
This is a tall red stick, occasionally people climb it on a cage, then they go back down.... They call it Detonator, designed by the Grand Old Duke of York no less!
...and he marched them up to the top of the hill...
...and he marched them down again... (and so on)
Don't get me wrong, it does have its moments, but there's VERY few angles you can get without it being a mess of red track. Welcome to.... the money shot!
Neal likes inverted wingovers (but believe me when I say, this is not, by a LONG way, the most inappropriate coaster based obsession that you'll see today!) *innocently whistles*
A wingover, Nemesis Inferno, 11:00am, Sunday 7th November 2010
I quite like taking side-on pictures of top hats - what can I say, I'm a pretentious man. (Plus, if you're being made to wait FOREVER for people with ludicrous hair to appear, you quickly bore of Nemesis Inferno)
Top Hats (whilst no bowler hats), are still greatly approved of!
Altocumulus Top Hat - nice!
We return to the money shot - really, this ride needs more angles!
Saw - despite all its sins, is rather pretty across the lake. This doesn't account for the fact that this album contains precisely TWO too many pictures of the coaster!
Vortex, apparently both Fraser AND I like it. The same can be said for a lot of things at Thorpe. (Unlike his sister - who will stretch to Rumba Rapids and the Rocky Express) But wont do coasters and doesn't do airtime - I think I may have 'headfenced' at this time....
Welcome back to the wingovers ♥
Yeah, shush, remember, things are about to get even more inappropriate (and the fact that Fraser's about to appear is MERELY a coincidence, honest XD)
Colossus ♥ ♥ ♥
The mistress to my coaster heart!
If your name's Xpress - you should pay attention to UC more! Welcome to rolled supports, at one of the UK's most major parks no less!
It's so perdy........ *swoons*
Night-time fairy lights can die a death though! WHYYYYYYYYYY?!
These people don't know just how much joy they are experiencing..... mentalists!
At this point, I turn into a stalker/pedo for this ride. Here I am having spotted my prey from a distance.......
Closer....
OMNOMNOMNOMNOM! Colossus ♥
Lots of failed attempts at getting an "arse pic" took place, much to the other's amusement! *glares*
You'll never understand!...
...so put a button in it!
♥ Colossus porn!
Me shouting "I got the arse pic!" when I finally got it was, surprisingly, not as funny as....
A) Fraser's hair (on or off the ride)
and B) Getting on the brake-run and shouting "now THAT'S the shot I wanted *makes inappropriate noises*!"
Colossus ♥
My #8 - 2nd best Intamin in the world, true story!
THANKFULLY - it hasn't taken a restraining order out on me, it clearly LOVES all the attention
HAIIII!
RAGE. BUILDING. SLAMMER. BROKEN. DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.
"Neal is experiencing technical difficulties - we hope to have him up and running shortly"
"System reboot...... SAW?!?!?!" *explodes*
After a mass-panic, I managed to escape chavs on Samurai! Yes, we were queueing for that, you didn't HONESTLY think I'd be going on Saw again did you?!
OCD. RAGE!
Why can they not turn that light off?!?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
Oh, and this is about where Jokerman spotted us and there were greetings, etc etc.
And so ends the coaster season *sobs*
Amusing train journey home then ensued. Facebook noise, disk tray eject, HOUNSLOW MOB ATTACK, body bag golf clubs.... everything that could possibly happen did. But before we knew it, Waterloo appeared (not that Will would complain) - and it was time to say farewell with hugs and waving. Goodbye 2010.
*initiating hibernation sequence 001*
Cheers for a fab day, even if SLAMMER was BROKEN!
Highlights:- Fraser's hair on Rush and Stealth, his drowning on Logger's Leap and Colossus front row ♥
Lowlights:- Stacey, no airtime... no coasters... Dragon Falls a credit?! I'm wish I'd pushed her into the water on Rumba when I had the chance! She was fab really - but needs to sort her life out! :lol:
