Rides Done in Order

Good time of the year. Very little in the way of queues.
OBLIVION (no real cue at 9.45am in Early April - Hurrah!) Very smooth and piece of cake. Definitely one to do multiple times. Mist during cool morning is quite effective.
Ride the "line ride" to:
Black Hole
Enterprise (sat this one out - too nausiating from previous experience)
Energizer (sat this one out - looked too nausiating)
Dino Dansaur (sat this one out - feeling queezy)
UG Swinger (sat this one out - feeling queezy)
Ride the long "line ride" to:
Corkscrew (30 minute wait during the day)
Ride a long "line ride" to:
Hex (new from last year)
Skyride Station (again, we couldn't be bother walking to Nemesis)
Ride a short "screaming" "line ride" to:
Nemesis (10 to 15 minute wait in very fast moving cue)
- Do it again while trying to look non-chalont(sp?). (attempt to look non-chalont(sp?) for the camera) End up getting more queezy

The Haunted House

Runaway Mine Train
Ride the "line ride" to:
Congo River Rapids (queue can look deceptively short - but beware)
Log Fume
Tea Cup
Ride the "line ride" to:
OBLIVION!! (attempt to look non-chalont(sp?) for the camera) - followed by:
Queezy drive home and getting a decent Chinese meal in Stockton Heath.
