As well as another indoor ride, that I thought was a coaster, but apparently it wasn't. I also remember really enjoying the Alice in Wonderland ride on the same trip. But I do remember actually really enjoying the drop once it came to it. I know this, because I remember being terrified when somebody told me that it was 'like the log flume and had a drop at the end.' So I don't remember much of the indoor bit, as I spent most of it worrying about when the drop was going to come. The first ride I remember riding was River Caves. We spent most of the time doing indoor rides. Once we got to the park it was still so cold and windy. I remember the wind being so strong on the walk to the park that me and some of the other youngsters were using our coats behind our heads as parachutes. I just wanted to stay in the wave pool all day.Īnyway, others, including my mum, couldn't wait to get to the Pleasure Beach, for some early evening and late night fun. But I remember thinking all day that it looked too high, and was terrifying. I'm a bit hazy though, so I'm not sure if it was one at the Pleasure Beach, or a small one on or near the pier. From inside there you could see a log flume.
We had spent most of the day in the newly opened Sand Castles water park. It was a cold autumn day, freezing in fact, and my mum (who used to absolutely love theme parks before she was wheelchair bound and in her 70s, bless her ) had hired a minibus to take the family, and friends, to Blackpool illuminations. I was extremely young, too young to go on most of the rides. My earliest theme park memory is from the 80's, I think, and strangely, it's not from Alton Towers or American Adventure!!!
