Milkyway adventure park and westonWell what a day at this small but great park. The day started with a 2 and a half trip down to the park and we arraived with a empty car park. The park opend at 10:30 with bout 3 other people there. The first stop was the dodegems as the coasters opened later. These were some very good dodgems at a very good speed if everyone was on there would of been great. Now the catterpiller there new coaster for 2008. The coaster is another brand new one but the apple was still to be build. The cars have there own idervidual lapbar for each person, not sure if the one at harbour park had them but was great to have these as many people can fit into the car with there children and not happen to crush them selfs with one bar between them. The cosmic tycoon was next and a great little ride it was to. The cars were very well done to for a small park like this. Funny thing was if the car was empty it stops on the trims where as one or more in there it just flys through. Now the clone zone, there indoor suspended coaster. Well it is a very intersesting ride and a good story theme for the first part of the ride wont give to much away. Then its on to the coaster. The coaster is like a old bat flyer coaster but powerd. The ride starts with a up hill helix and does that nice and quick to. Then a few drops here and there then back in to the station.
The staff saw are jackets and said would we like a behind the scenens tour. They turned on all the lights for us so we can walk the station and in to some of the ride for us. We walked part of the first helix and more. Many pictures taken there. We walked round the rest of park and saw a few shows. The adventure play ground well thats something inits self. Think the club should do a bash there (see video for fottage).
The last ride of the day was the clone zone again as had to ride it knowing what it was all like with the lights on. The guy said do you want to go round with the lights on etc so we did. The footage in the video was with the guys permistion and not done behind there backs. The staff was fantastic and the train driver to John he was also great. A fantastic day out for a good group of people 3 coasters shows and more.
Myself and Jess stoped off in weston to have a break from the drive. We headed for the pier which I knew has been taken over from another company and wants to invest in to new rides and attractions for the pier. The first thing I noticed was 2 new shops and new signs everywhere to.There is going to be a majour new ride as there was some buliding work going on up above the dodgems area. (see pic) but no one knows what it is yet so gonna keep a eye on that one. See pic below
Vidoe of the milky way. Please note that all ride footage was done by asking the ride opps.

It was indeed a great day. You have'nt left me much to say, except that this is one of the best small parks I have been to in a while. All the staff are really friendly and some of the best dodgems I have been on in a while.
