Anyone not sharing a 2-for-1 voucher as yet? Don't fancy forking out £28 for Camelot! :P

You can share with me, Adam. I haven't sorted out a voucher yet :)

Don't forget, for anyone not with a 2-4-1 it's £16 on Buyagift.

Sounds like a plan Jordan! :)

Presumably people are meeting at the entrance for opening at 10?

Camelot has reached new depths of despair.

Even the "look in garden" was "unavailable due to technical problems" today. Whirlwind was closed all day.

We left at 1:30pm and went to The Trafford Centre.

Still, nice to see everyone and Knightmare was again great once it warmed up!

Highlights
+ Knightmare after it warmed up
+ Cup and Sorceror. Jesus that thing spins.

- Camelot being even more full of despair than ever
- Whirlwind closed

Rides
Knightmare x 5
Cup and Sorceror x 1
Dungeons of Doom x 1
Junior Dragon Coaster x 1
Excalibur 2 x 1
Dragon Flyer x 1
Jousting Knights x 1
Pendragons Plunge x 1
Log Flume x 1
Caterpillar Capers x 1

Ride count wasn't too dissimilar, so will leave it out  :P

Lowlights
- Camelot being more dire than I remember it being so.
- Lack of investment anywhere - most I noticed was four new signs!
- Whirlwind shut all day
- Ridiculous options/pricing for catering
- Knightmare station faff
- Lack of actual attractions to do.
- Unacceptable wetness on the flume for myself and Cheese :evil:

Highlights
+ Knightmare being rough and ready
+ Dodgem takeover
+ The lovely company per usual!  :)
+ Err.. Relaxing walk back along the canal

If it wasn't for TTF, would've probably left much earlier than half one!  :P
