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. |

Who's the dummy ?
Twin Looper |
| |
 |
| |
This 20
year old ride was still running smooth. |
| |
 |
| |
We were
able to ride this all day with no queues as the park was so quiet. |

Runaway Mine Train |
| |
 |
| |
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. |
| |
 |
| |
Into the dark we
go |

 |
| |
It was Wesley’s fave! |
| |
 |
| |
This is
the fastest mine train we have been on so far. |
