corkscrew coming down

Friday, October 3. 2008
for those of you who know alton towers in the UK, the cork screw is being dismantled this winter. (BBC News : Iconic ride is to be dismantled). The corkscrew was my first ever real roller coaster, and kinda set me on my addiction. Even when alton towers had bigger and better coasters, we always rode the corkscrew for old times sake.

If you wanna do some large scale worldly sightseeing, I can recommend the googlesightseeing.com.

2 of their recent entries are places I know well

googlesightseeing.com - alton towers
googlesightseeing.com - Roald Dahl Plass

I've just seen that their entry for today is about the pier at Weston Super Mare. It burnt down this morning. I know as a child I played on the slot machines on the pier, but the memories are all pretty vague. (BBC News - Huge fire destroys historic pier)
