On the 21st May 2005 we discovered the “Wild.Wild West” hidden in the wilds of Derbyshire. A really enjoyable family day with something for all ages and the rain held off until the end of the day!

 
 

There can't have been more than 150 people in the park, which made queues a thing of the past.

There was excellent theming at “Silver City" where cast members put on a wild west show twice a day complete with shoot out.

We only caught a few minutes of the show but it was very entertaining.

We were able to ride this all day with no queues as the park was so quiet.

The Runaway Mine Train was really fast and great fun.
We rode it over and over again.

As the park was quiet, when the train came into the station the ride ops ask only who wanted to get ofF, so we re rode as much as we wanted.
