This one is a few days late but thats pretty much just because I forgot about my blog.

We took the kids on a day out that had so much promise of being great. The website really should have sounded the warning bells, after all, what tourist attraction has a website with just three pages and minimal pictures?

The website proudly states “Pay once & all manned rides are free” – completely misleading to skim readers but hardly the parks fault. What is their fault though is that the place is a complete joke and a rip off.

The so-called rides are total shite, mostly hangovers from the 80’s and the dinosaur models are uninspired hunks of plastic.

Fancy a game of uphill golf? Don’t bother, it’s a total joke. This place is like something out of a comedy sketch show.
The kids went ip to the top of the wavy slide thingy, from there you can easily see just how awfully wank the place is. Up there I mentioned this to a mum who was supervising her kids, her response was that they wished they hadn’t bothered going but as they’d travelled down from York, they HAD to go after promising the kids.

So the day out, for a family of four cost just shy of £40. That’s quite steep for two hours of “fun”. Money that would perhaps have been better spent on a few minutes of lap dancing.
We only lasted two hours because we got lost in the maze…

In short, because the place doesn’t even deserve this much effort, we left because the kids actually ASKED to go.

This place could actually be great. The idea is a fine one, that could work great in this part of the country, what it needs is a considerable amount of dynamite and an experienced demolition team.
Start from scratch before we see kids turn to suicide bombing in protest at the utter shite they are being subjected to.
