There was a need for more speed so we headed to Rita which goes from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds pulling a whopping 4.7g of force! Scream if you want to go faster! If there wasn't already enough screaming for one day, our next ride was a really scary one. TH13RTEEN is a spooky rollercoaster that enters a haunted house with a sudden vertical drop and even goes backwards, what a thrill! We headed down to the X Sector to ride the mighty Oblivion rollercoaster! With a 180ft near vertical drop that took us underground this really was the big one. "Don't look down!" they said, but it was hard not to at the top of the drop, a real heart in mouth moment! The Wicker Man is a traditional style wooden roller coaster with a Celtic Pagan theme. Not only was it quite scary but pretty fast too! They told us we were to be sacrificed! We came out alive but perhaps we had been cursed?!
The Congo River Rapids was a barrel of laughs as we rode through the canyon in our rafts splashing and screaming all the way; luckily, we didn't get too wet!
A fabulous afternoon was spent at Speedwell Cavern where our underground adventure began. Hidden beneath the
picturesque hills of the Peak District is a subterranean wonder. We were given a unique opportunity to explore
the mysteries of the underground world. We learnt about its fascinating history dating
back to the 18th century which was originally a lead mine, and the cavern was
developed in 1771 during the height of the industrial revolution. Miners carved
out extensive tunnels deep within the limestone hills, hoping to find rich
veins of lead. However, the mine was soon abandoned due to flooding, leaving
behind an intriguing labyrinth of tunnels and caverns. What sets Speedwell
Cavern apart from other caves in the Peak District is its unique boat trip. We
embarked on an underground journey through the flooded tunnels in a small boat,
guided by a knowledgeable tour guide. As we silently glided through the dark,
narrow passageways, the atmosphere became both eerie and enchanting.
