I'm going in a couple of weeks, and I just fancy hearing what people's guilty pleasures are about the place...maybe I could try some out ;)

Mine is that I will more than willing to walk through the gardens from dark forest to For Valley just to escape from the themepark madness....Escapism I believe the resort call it ;)

What about you?

I would like to work there one day, maybe, in the future (or my dreams). I'll just see how my first ever job after uni goes first!!

Mine is whoring Nemmy SRQing. Regardless of who I'm with I always make sure I get a few rides in, usually at the end of the day.

This isn't something I've done, but would do if I had the balls. I've always wanted to ride oblivion, and then just before it drops, hold up a bolt and shout "Wait, this isn't supposed to come off" Very mean, I know.

I take my marking (I'm a teacher), to do in the gardens on warm sunny weekends  :oops:

ERT for some rides, lunch in Explorers, marking in gardens, ice cream and wander round the farm, more marking, then finally off to Dark Forest and Cloud Cuckoo Land when the queues die down  :lol:

I may have to buy one of the photos on my next visit and share it with you all. From all the pointing and laughing that goes on in the photo viewing area/place/thing, they are amusing =p

Shouting vodka with a friend when coming down Oblivion, and always making sure I give one of Nemmys' supports a hug.

And then there's whoring Nemmy and Blivvie on a quiet day.

If you have children/younger brothers or sisters, then its a great excuse to go on all the kids rides like berry bish bash, squirel nutty, charlie, etc :P

The towers are also worth a visit to just escape from the park, you could spend hours in there looking around all the different rooms.
