My son is going to a theme park this week with school. He is really exited about going on the roller coasters.
He cant wait and he keeps looking up "on ride" videos on youtube and "statistics". Not just of the park he's going to but of coasters all over the world.

I've had to endure loads of them including the tallest, fastest, most extreme coasters in the world

If that wasnt enough, he's also making enormous coaster on the game "Roller Coaster Tycoon".

I'm not a roller coaster type person so watching all these videos etc makes me giddy

I'm sure he'll love it though.

i bet he will have a wonderful time, they probably wont be able to get him off the rollercoaster by the sounds of it !!!!

jon still likes the little rides that you put 50p in, but being 9 he is now finding it pretty difficult to squeeze himself in them !!!

Well, they go tommorow and to say the group is very exited would be an understatment!

My son is so exited that he made this music video.

They all loved it

Fortunately, the rain stayed away too (though they got wet on the Valhalla ride anyways

)

He went on this ride also:

A great day out for them all.

Fantastic.
