    After he was such a god lad at Park Hall all day Sat I took my little lad to Guillivers Kingdom in matlock on sunday.
    The weather was really nice, yet the place was deserted.
    Its not such a bad mini alton towers type thing aimed at kids under 10 so the height restrictions are lower and my 5 year old could go on everything.

    ...but I'm not kidding there were about as many customers there as there were heli flyers at Park hall on saturday. That place and others like it must have been racking up huge losses last weekend. A combination of folks cutting back the spending with the effect of the scare mongering about Swine flu meaning folks don't want their kids in a crowded place.

    Great for us, not once did we wait longer then for the ride to stop at any point!

    Meanwhile in matlock town it was the usual crowded sunday busy place - but that is all mainly adults.

    Me and my significant other went to Alton Towers on the first day of the season this year. I was dreading it as I thought it would be packed but the longest I waited for a ride was 25mins.

    Got home and waited for a ride all night and one never turned up :D
