Finally went to Blackpool after winning Ya Nan's Big Quiz for my birthday on August bank holiday! We won travel and pleasure beach tickets for the day. We replaced Tracy for Jo who drove us there even though we had train tickets booked for us - stupid Northern Rail decided to be on strike so it would have been a nightmare getting there and back if we got the train.
Fully wrapped up ready for the rain and cold!
Holly and Danielle don't do rides so they were left to be bag holders for the day. Me, Sarah and Jo went on Infusion first. After we went on The Big One - Pepsi Max which we queued for 1.5 hours! There was only 1 car that went round with 30 people at a time which took ages as the ride is quite long as well. Wasn't that good really disappointing considering we had to queue that long for it!
After this we went to meet Holly and Danielle who were sat in the cafe to have lunch.
Me, Holly and Sarah got chicken fajitas, Danielle got mac n cheese. Jo got kids fish fingers with wedges and beans. Got nachos to share. The chicken fajitas were nice. Jo's food wasn't good at all would not feed that to my kid!
After Me, Sarah and Jo went on Revolution while Holly and Danielle went through the Chinese maze.
Managed to get Danielle on the Red Arrows Skyforce. It was absolutely pouring down while we were queuing for this but luckily it stopped just before we went on the ride. You're suppose to be able to make yourself do a 360 spin but we just couldn't do it. Don't think we were heavy enough to lean to the side so that was a bit disappointing!
Jo was so close to convincing Danielle to go on the Ice Blast but she ended up going on the Alice in Wonderland ride with Holly. We got the best view up there as we were facing the Blackpool Tower.
It looked so nice in the dark with the lights on! The last ride we went on was Icon which had a really long queue as it was the newest ride that only opened in May but it went really quick only took us half an hour - we were expecting another 2 hour wait. But it was the best and favourite ride we went on. Definitely saved the best till last. We managed to go on all the big rides and even got both Holly and Danielle on a roller coaster - Avalanche!
Got told off for taking this photo of Jo on Avalanche but Holly my personal lawyer - I have a right to take a photo as technically Jo has the rights to the photo as she's in it so I should be allowed to take a photo of it!
We went to maccies before we went home and of course I got an ice cream but it was like really frozen basically ice.
We had the best day even though trying to plan it was a nightmare trying to get a weekend everyone was free and this weekend happened to be the last weekend the theme park was open as well. I blame Camp and Furnace though as they were suppose to get in contact with Sarah as they had all her details but never so Sarah emailed them and just didn't get back to us so I ended up having to ring them to get it all organised. We could have went months ago when the weather was actually nicer. Wasn't a fan of going on the rides in the rain and in my winter puffer coat!
Thanks for driving us there and back Jo! Hope yous all enjoyed yesterday and you enjoyed your first experience in Blackpool Sarah! (She'd never been to Blackpool before yesterday!)
