Today, we opted to go to Chessington World of Adventure, an amusement park and small zoo not too far from the house. With all of the bus stops and transfer. It took about an 1hr to get to. We used our Merlin passes again to get in but we only had about 2 ½ hours because I did not realize t would take quite as long on the bus nor did I think it would close at 5. The amusement park had a bunch of things I had never seen before and a few things were 1.4 meters which meant that neither girl could go on. We did go on the log flume which was a lot of fun, very wet. It was Ainsley’s and Emily’s favorite ride that day. We saw one ride that we were not tall enough for that I had never ever seen. Imagine the Rainbow at Viva Vienna that goes around. But instead of swinging to the side, it swings forward. And it goes upside down and it stops and water shoots up and gets everyone on the ride wet. It was causing lots of screams. Then there was a 4 person roller coaster that zoomed around on the track, sometimes sideways as a it spun. Even Emily, the dare devil said if she was tall enough, she wouldn’t go on. We did get to go on the bumper cars and two kids playgrounds as well as a mini Buchaneer that spun as well as going back and forth. We had not seen it in operation so we didn’t realize that it spun. Ainsley & Emily went on it by themselves and both girls had a look of surprise when it started turning as well.
But alas the park closed at 5 so we had to head back home. We stopped in Kingston to switch buses so we did a little food shopping at Sainsbury before heading home for dinner. Given that we have the Merlin passes, I told the girls we would head back next week.
