We went last year late may bank holiday just before the newly relocated Wipeout (aka Missile from american adventure) was completed, the day was a complete washout but the cabaret in the phoney castle was awesome. Its 3 easy ticks for £13.50 (if your over 1.4 metres) _________________ life moves too fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you just might miss it.

Sorry about that Marcus, but nature does tend to balance itself out. There's only so much good-boss to go around, and luckily my one has more than a fair share of goodness about her It will be interesting to see what AirTime says about the summer bash inc. travel arrangements if any. Another first for me, and now just 3 weeks to the US! _________________ Steve Member of 'non rollback' Stratacoaster club 06/08 Back to top bluea61 Moderator Joined: 24 Sep 2007 Posts: 571 Location: Portsmouth, Hants Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 11:20 am    Post subject: Date is an issue for us also, we are off on holiday around that date so won't make it.

Won't have the same problem next year as we will have to have the holiday within the school holiday period from now on...although we have also missed a Bash which coincided with the British GP. Hope you all have a great time!

So unless it clashes with my personal stuff, i have a 70/30 chance of coming to Yarmouth now. Must tell Carol and Debs! The Scenic and snails in one day! ye. lol Nev have you thought of a Joyland extra? That would be pure hell as funny. Its the best park in the UK per square meter! Snails!
