Evacuation Park

It’s been a long trip but we’ve ventured down south to Thorpe Park. In the end it was just and one other friend who was wheelchair-bound. I’d invited some other people to help share the pushing, but they all backed out. We’d journeyed down and had a super-charged breakfast and a rubbish coffee, and we only arrived thirty minutes late because of a badly marked roundabout. We knew that we wouldn't be able to get on all the rides but we were extremely disappointed with the accessibility on offer. As soon as we’d arrived we found a small roller coaster but we were told that we weren't able to ride because of evacuation procedures. The one ride that we were really looking forward to riding was actually shut. While wandering around wondering what to do, we wandered into the Angry Birds 4D cinema, which had luckily just opened and was quite miraculous since they were no showtimes displayed. After the film we headed towards the I’m a Celebrity: get out of here! maze but this had closed for the year so our next visit was to the arcade. After spending a fortune on tickets we went for another wander and did manage to convince a young couple of attendants to let us ride one of the smaller rides. But when our main attraction re-opened, we were told that we couldn't go beyond the video section in case we had to be evacuated.
