Yesterday I visited M&DS With a friend who had never been before, I didn't mind that much as I haven't been since 2010 and I didn't ride the mine train ride last time.
We ended up just buying unlimited ride wristbands for £15 plus paying extra for the Booster. I didn't take that many pictures due to the weather being pretty terrible.
I'l post my thoughts on a few of the rides and photos of them as well as a few other pictures
Tornado-Still the worst coaster I've been on, wasn't so bad the first time I rode due to being in the front seat however the next time I went to ride the front seat was occupied so I went to the second row however the restraints wouldn't open so was told by the op to go to the back of the ride which was one of the worst rides of my life, it was horribly painful especially the loops and the helix. It was also strange having to take my bag on with me on this and tsunami.But Yea the ride was Vile. I filmed an onride video however my camera mucked up before the end however the rest of the video is ok.

Below are a few photos of the ride, It really needs painted.
Tsunami wasn't running that badly, It wasn't that rough and was almost re-rideable. It's queue was actually moving quite fast due to 3 trains which was a surprise. I also filmed this, heres a link if your interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9D1Gv-dyxk
Some photos of the ride
Also rode the Log Flume, was no different to any other travelling log flumes really. An onride video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhmf7b55XzA&feature=plcp
Noticed that "New for 2012" was the Express coaster moved to where the Log Flume used to be and rethemed to be called Space, It wasn't opened however it did test. I wasn't fussed as I'd been on it anyway. Managed to catch it testing though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK6s0jpnqCo&feature=plcp
Rode most of the other rides such as Bomber Mark 2 which was pretty fun and surprisingly not that fast.
Also rode Southports Old Pirate Ship ride
And Altons Old Magic Carpet (I think)
Went on the big wheel and took a few ariel shots.
Some other photos
Anyway I had an ok day I guess, the park is still pretty bad and it's it a shame there is hardly anywhere else to go to. It seems like it will be around for a while though as it still gets pretty busy. The food was terrible, the Knock off KFC places chips tasted horrible however they looked better than anything else they had on offer. I don't plan on returning anytime soon. The coasters are pretty terrible, the staff weren't great and listening to ipods and the park just looks rundown. Yea I wouldn't recommend the place.
