On Saturday my band played a gig in Brighton. After a rubbish journey there involving our van breaking down and waiting for the RAC for hours; we arrived late, irritable and fed up with each other.
As with all times of crisis, my response was to wander off on my own to seek out the nearest roller coasters.
Upon arrival, I couldn't even see the coasters on Brighton Pier, as I was temporarily blinded by their ultra flashy Air Race.
I watched a cycle of it, just to see who would win. But turns out, it isn't even a race at all! And you don't seem to get any air either. Thanks for the blatant false advertising, Zamperla.
Next, I headed over to the ghost train; only to find they had built 4 Haunted Houses and were now eligible to have a Haunted Hotel.
This means they can charge triple the ride token admission when someone lands on it.
Horror Hotel was my main reason for visiting Brighton Pier that evening, as I already have the creds and I'm getting really into ghost trains at the moment. But in keeping with my day of annoyances: Horror Hotel was closed.
Further annoyance came when I tried to ride this ambient Pinfari looper
Only to be greeted with this sign:
What a load of Turdo.
I went on the Crazy Mouse instead. It was definitely a unique, interesting experience, the only thing I could really compare it to would be all the MILLIONS OF OTHER REVERCHON MICE in the world.
Then I rode the Twister just because 'Rhythm is a Dancer' was playing on its ride speakers. Nothing says 'fairground ride' like 90's dance music <3
Horsed around taking photo's of the carousel:
And appreciated the romantic view for one:
Then I headed back to the venue, feeling slightly less pissed off.
