Sunday was awesome, there is no better word to describe it. 

After 3 hours of driving, we arrived at Alton Towers! Using the monorail to the park was fun, though i don’t think Tim will agree with me there :p 

The First view across the Lake was amazing… should have listened to Lee and taken a camera. 

The first thing that we hunted down, was the sonic Pinball coaster :) Though it was left to last, due to the queue, and also Tim and Myself chose not to ride it in the end, but we all couldn’t resist having a picture taken with the sonic stood out front.

This was followed by the search for oblivion, which i had forgotten even existed! I have to say that i didn’t have the guts to look down when we were dangling over the edge of this ride, so my eyes remained closed until halfway down the vertical drop! But it was bloody awesome, though i don’t know if it i something that i will go on again. I’m also not to sure if i will ever forgive lee and Kev for wanting to sit in the front row :p

We passed by Hex, and decided to give it go. The build up was somewhat disappointing, though the ending was bizarre, Though it had little effect after Lee told me that we weren’t moving, but the room was. Damn you and your detective skills :p

This was followed by the search for Thi3teen, though was shortly abandoned as the queue was an hour long, instead Kev and Lee went on Rita, which i will be attempting on the next visit :)

While waiting for the queue for thi3teen to disappear slightly, we took the cable cars across to the other side of the park. The views up there were amazing! 

After getting off the cable cars and getting somewhat excited about up coming rides, we rushed off and started heading in the wrong direction, though we did come across yet another amazing view!

After finding the correct path to nemesis, we found a burger king to munch at :) even the ducks loved it :)

Lee and Kev went on Nemesis, while Tim and Myself stood by and photographed the event :) Thought we both decided we should go on it next time!

 

Tim’s photo of the water around nemesis ^^

Kev was most disappointed though that there was little time for him to queue for Air. 

Instead we rushed back across the park via cable cars to thi3teen, too start with i chickened out, but then decided to go on and try it out, so Lee got out of queue and came and queued with me <3 It was good fun, the 60ft drop was awesome. Though overall we decided it wasn’t what the hype made it out to be. 

Lastly before leaving we went down to go on the river rapids. It was more fun than first anticipated, and was also refreshing after a day under the sun! 

and off course you cant leave without visiting the gift shop ^_^ We left with an oblvion mug for Lee, Shot glasses and a thi3teen teddy for me (i think i earnt it :P) along with kevs collection of new mugs, and tims shot glasses.

Lee found a huge sherbet dispensing machine! later a jelly bean one was also discovered. neither had prices though, but i think Lee had the better idea!

My Thi3teen teddy and pen ^_^ would have had the oblivion one as well, but ii pushed my luck with this one :p

I can’t wait for the next visit than will span over a few days ^_^

7 weeks left of this year at uni… where has the time gone, still feels like yesterday that i went there for my first day! Scary to think that this time next year i will be looking for a job and damn am i looking forward to it!

I do wish though that i had the same time off as other courses with the uni. Near 3 months!! I could have a job and save for what i want, currently the iphone 4 and a pretty sony vaio 

other than that placement starts tomorrow, 5 x 8 hour shifts a weeks, and 4 days in the theatres at the end, will be nice, but roll on 30th July, so i can sit down and have a well earn rest <3

I have to that other than spending most of my time re-doing my failed essay, i have had a lovely week off from uni. Revision next week for fridays exam. 

I’m making better use of the camera this year also i think, though i keep having to use lee’s for anything close up, as numpty here brought the macro filter that fitted his and not mine O.o

I’m also welcoming back the storms! It would have been nice if they cooled things down :(

Anyhoos the revision beckons me and sleep is to follow shortly

Thanks Lee for the help with the image of Shadow <3

I have to question how i’m meant to get rid of 65 words within my essay. I mean they are all need or they wouldn’t be there : (

If only there i had the money. each item is over $150 without shipping cost. but theirs pac man and space invaders! :(

Finding the batgirl dress on deviant are made me start thinking about the skirts that uses to be on ebay, though they only have one style left for £30 :( so i moved on to dresses. the first was this one which i couldnt save the picture as with out saving the whole web page :(

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=220612839262

and the other two i found via a google search which are awesome! though reach over £150 each with shipping </3

I did however start looking for other superhero dresses though past fancy dress out fits their were none, which was slightly disappointing.
