I will visit the following parks: Pleasurewood, Botton's pleausre beach, pleasure island, fantasy island, flamingoland. On my first day I will also visit the 2 small parks in Great Yarmouth. (the wooden looks like fun ) If anyone has tips about Botton that would be great because i can't find opening times anywhere. Later this year me and my brother are going to Birmingham to watch the musical 'les miserables' with John Owen Jones (yes, he's a fan ). And i'm going to force him to visit 1-2 themeparks and watch a premier league game. Can anyone recommend me a park near Birmingham? Thanks in advance.   Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 6:17 pm mardy Park Preview Owner Joined: 14 Aug 2007 Posts: 1342 Location: The English Riviera Alton Towers and Drayton Manor are the closest 'big' theme parks to Birmingham.   Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:55 pm Mr De Smet Joined: 12 Jul 2009 Posts: 13 Location: Asse, Belgium Thanks, Thorpe is a possibillity. Alton Towers seems the best themepark in Europe (together with Europa Park) but i guess the new coaster won't be running yet. It would be a shame to visit Alton and miss the new ride .   Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2009 11:40 am Manny Joined: 31 Oct 2007 Posts: 422 Location: Bristol, England ^ I'd say Alton's lost what made it special it terms of competing with really awesome european parks like Port Aventura, still well worth a visit though. _________________ Riderman wrote: What's the ERT?   Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2009 8:24 pm Mr De Smet Joined: 12 Jul 2009 Posts: 13 Location: Asse, Belgium I just can't miss England so i'm planning a 2day trip to London next week. We will visi Harrod's, a musical, something else and a themepark. As my brother takes pictures i'm doing the attraction on my own (bit sad i know). Is Thorpe a good park or are there any good parks nearby London which have a single riders line. I've read that thorpe uses it for some attractions but couldn't find much info where they are situated .   Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2009 6:20 pm CCJared Paultons Park Donkey Kong Joined: 19 Aug 2007 Posts: 635 Location: Basingstoke Did you ever make it to Thorpe? _________________ http://www.TheRideFactor.com - Check it out!   Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 2:02 pm Mr De Smet Joined: 12 Jul 2009 Posts: 13 Location: Asse, Belgium I never made it. A German thought it would be fun to drive on my lane and totalled my car. Due to that i didn't make it to London. What is the best time to visit Alton? I have a lot of vacation this year (45 days). I would love to visit Alton when it's not too crowded and off course to ride their newest coaster. Nothing new and exciting in Belgium this year   Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 2:07 pm Nathan Joined: 21 Sep 2007 Posts: 683 Location: Sunderland, UK Anytime when it is not the school holidays is generally quiet. Late April, mid-May would be your best bet.   Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 9:04 pm Mr De Smet Joined: 12 Jul 2009 Posts: 13 Location: Asse, Belgium Thanks, if I can combine it with a darts tournament it would be great. When our the school holidays in UK? Begin of June i'm free for a wheek so that would come in handy.   Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 10:21 am Nathan Joined: 21 Sep 2007 Posts: 683 Location: Sunderland, UK Beginning of June should be fine. It's only the last two weeks and early July when end-of-year school trips start to kick in.
