In the past, if the weather is really bad up to and including fri-sat, do most people still attempt to camp or alternatively travel down on Saturday morning? What happens in the park itself if it's raining heavily most of the day, do they shut many of the attractions? _________________ Steve Member of 'non rollback' Stratacoaster club 06/08.

From experience I've found www.weather.co.uk far more accurate. So hopefully Aunite Muriels forecast will be the one you guys get. Definately not coming to this one as off to work on a sporting event. _________________ RCCGB Membership Number 1915 www.coastertouring.com Roller Coaster videos and much more. http://vimeo.com/channels/coastertouring NEW VIDEO: September 2009 Prater Park Back to top STEALTHYBUTBAD Junior Hyper Poster Joined: 09 Oct 2007 Posts: 191 Location: bishops stortford hertfordshire Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 8:11 pm    Post subject: Dont forget to pack some waterproof stuff guys and girls ! just in case ! _________________ Fan of all things fast : Roller Coasters , cars including the lovely Audi R8 !

I was totally not prepared in 2005 and got drenched. 5 minutes sitting on the Meggy Brake run waiting for the other train to load didn't help much either! Ryan's plan is best i think - retreat to Bar for Bowling and Beer! See you there, looking forward to it! P.S. So glad I booked a nice warm Travel Tavern now i've seen the forecast   _________________ Matt RCCGB Webmaster + Member of the "First to be denied SAW by Technical Failure" club.

Some sun on Friday with a bit of rain on Saturday. I just got a text from a friend who's staying 8 miles from Oakwood and he says the weather is bad. He was hoping to go to the park today with his sister and her children but they called it off due to the amount of rain   _________________ Steve Member of 'non rollback' Stratacoaster club 06/08.
