Euro fair is a fair with some great rides the crazy mouse coaster a booster and log flumes and much more. This is a great price at £5.99 as the booster alone is normaly £4 to £5 ago so a bargin for everything really. If anyone wants to I no some of you wanted to do ice skateing before xmas so how bout a morning at the snowdome ice skateing then the fair in the afternoon. Saturday will be the best day for me to

The ride list at Alton is imo a very weak one for adults but good for young kids.
6 hours at Alton with no Nemesis and no Rita and with only really Oblivion and Air for thrill seekers 
***Update - Nemesis will be closed as they have found some issues with it that will take longer than normal for the ride to be ready for the new season*** |
||||
| chillichutney |
Gutted I'm working the AT and TP days but may be able to make the fair
Be good to catch up with peeps. |

The website for anyone interested:
http://www.eurofunpark.co.uk/ Last year they had the mouse, booster, superbowl, log flume, afterburner, waveswinger, dodgems, carousel......there may have been more but can't remember. I can clearly remember the little kid coming off waveswinger and being sick!! |
||||
| Coaster Toaster |
Itl be danters mouse which is the smaller of the traveling mouse styles with the blue track.
All the stuff there is either danters or wilsons stuff |
||||
| bluea61 |
As long as the picture is correct, its one of the boosters I can ride! And I'm certain somebody else said she would ride it with me....... 
|
||||
| Bambi |
Oh I er er er...... think I might be washing my hair that day!
I just hope they forget to bring it with them!!!!! Maybe I should brib them into not bring it!
|
||||
| Rogue |
You'll have to get Andy on the Booster as well
|

| nemesis scribe |
Boosters - meh!! Boosters are for wimps :p
Looks like it could be a good turn out for the 21st - be good to see everyone again

Euro fair we are all meeting by the big gold bull at the bull ring in Birmingham at 11:30 from here its a massive take over at pizze hut then Euro fair. Be good to see you all there. | ||||
| Steven Burns |
Richard. Carol will be arriving in Brum at around 12pm. So we have to wait for her for lunch, shes on the early bus so should be okay. | ||||
| Rogue |
Rich, if there's a load of us might be an idea to reserve a table at pizza hut. | ||||
| stevencaine |
I will be getting there straight after work so somewhere around 1pm so dont worry about waiting for me see you guys at the fair | ||||
| Bonsai Warrior |
Can anyone suggest the best place to park the car for Euro Park? The website says it's opposite the Millenium Point, but which side? | ||||
| smiler |
We sometimes find the odd space opasite the site which is on street parking and free but there are tons of car parks around Birmingham which are all walking distance from the fair. | ||||
| stealth fan |
For those at Thorpe tomorrow, see you there

| stevencaine |
