Thorpe Park

We went on our father-daughter trip to Thorpe Park. Beautiful weather for it!

Went on Hyperia for the first time. Queued for 2 hours but it was absolutely worth it. Instantly my favourite rollercoaster - the way it drops you is amazing. I genuinely felt like I was freefalling; it was wonderful. Apparently it costs £5,000 to rent it for an hour. I wish I had the kind of money where blowing five grand on something like that was feasible in any way. That's what my car cost.

However, being socialist about it: there's two cars, each with 20 seats for a total of 40 when both are working. If you could find 40 people (have we met? I'm not that likeable) they would pay £125 and get 25 goes in that hour (according to Wikipedia it can serve 1,000 people per hour. If those 1,000 were all the same 40 people, 1,000÷40=25). That's doable. Who's in?!

Edit: forgot to list the rides we went on!

The GPS works so well. I'd love to know how they've done this. It's super useful.
