I'm off out for a day here with a few friends/family in a couple of weeks, i haven't been here for a couple of years, has anyone been there recently?
Is there anything playable? or is it just rammed full of £5 jackys which won't pay s**t? I'm expecting quite a few dond's there tbo,
also, how many arcades are in there now? from what i remember, i think there was only one... but me brain cells are a bit frazzed now lol

Heh, I'm heading up there the first weekend in July - looking forward to it as I rate it as the best theme park in England, for both attractions and setting.

When I was there last year, there were two £35ers in the 'Bar / Grill' type place near the swan lake - will probably be £70ers now. Don't recall anywhere else there with 'up-to-date' JPs. As you say though, when you come off of pretty much all of the rides you are bombarded with £5er machines...

If you go with stash of coins for playing be careful on the rides.
I imagine 'Air' could empty a pocket of coins in no time.
You could create a stampede as people rush to gather the golden raindrops.

The last time I went was 3 years ago.
Arcades, there were 4 of them, and they had virtually the same stuff in each. Crazy Fruits, a Rampage, a LOTR fellowship of the ring, maybe an Impulse or something and some old Barcrests. There's a loud Walk of Wealth now thoguh I hear, but also %s are crap as well I also hear
