The weekend’s final event was Thorpe Park. Everything really conspired to work out for us – the weather behaved, James supplied some discounted tickets, we had a car to make getting to Thorpe Park easier, not too many people at the park and Jules – who has before today been deathly afraid to visit a theme park with us – could hardly refuse our request to go on this “special” weekend. *grin*

The first time I visited Thorpe Park in April last year I ranked all the rides. No need for that this time though having read what I said about the rides and my rankings I think I still feel pretty much the same way. If there was one thing I didn’t mention it was the ribs – Thorpe Park has some of the best BBQ ribs you will taste anywhere and the hashy chip things that accompany them are to die for!

Tidal Wave remains the number one ride in the park for sure. It was the first thing we got on when we entered the park and we loved it so much we rode it twice. Got an absolute hammering from the water of course so Jules and I were soaking. James and Sandra seemed to avoid most of the water with their hoodies. Darn them. Admittedly I brought a jacket along but thought it was more in the spirit of the day not to wear it. Silly me!

Check out Jules having a bit of a Just How Wet Am I moment:

I had an absolutely awesome day today – I’m so proud of the fact that not only did Jules get on the bigger rides, including Stealth which probably gave him nightmares all last night!, but he also rode them all at the front!
