We started the day at the Alton Towers splash landings hotel and had intended on a 2nd day at Alton, but after the hell and stress of the day before we decided not to bother and to go up to BPB instead, thank goodness I had my BPB season passes in my wallet!!
We arrived just before 12 and again due to Caroline's shoulder injury it was me going solo on most rides sadly. After the heat of Thorpe park earlier in the week it was a shock for it to be a bit on the chilly side.

RIDE COUNT

Big Dipper - 3
Rev - 3
PMBO - 7
Steeplechase - 8 (the yellow track of doom was just plain nasty but oh so brill)
Monorail - 1
Iceblast - 2
Derby racer - 1
Alice ride - 1
Nash - 1
Gold mine - 1
Space invader - 3
Zipper dipper - 3
Rollercoaster - 2
Infusion - 6

Total rides = 43

HIGHLIGHTS

- Back in the land of normal people after Alton Towers
- Great ride count even though I was not really going for it
- Great ride staff again
- Big dipper running very well
- Having a very attractive blonde sit next to me on the big dipper (dont tell Caroline though)

LOWLIGHTS
- Such a hard day today, I felt very jaded and it was all such a struggle.
- Having no luck with nash today, whenever I went near it was broke down.

OVERALL

A great end to what has been a great week other than Alton. The sad part was that Caroline did not have a great week thanks to last Saturday at Camelot.

Bring on our next Rollercoaster holiday in 4 weeks - CEDAR POINT!!!
