Gullivers theme park in Warrington is one of the UK's smaller parks and when we arrived, on a windy day in may, there were more staff cars than visitors and it really showed when we entered the park. I counted just 30 people including us! The Staff were very friendly and pleased to see someone over 30. LOL. |
| |
The park is basically set up for the younger thrill seeker, but there are rides for the larger variety. |
| |
Our first ride of the day was Antelope (a woody) small but fun to ride and it was pretty smooth too. We were able to re ride as much as we wanted due to the lack of visitors to the park. |
| |
Then we headed over to The Wild Mine Train, but when we got there it was closed due to high winds, so no credit was had there. Its a mouse style ride for any geeks out there. We couldnt resist a go on Tomb Raiders, which is a laser shoot em up ride. |
| |
Then we found the newest coaster in the UK, it was a week old on the day of our visit and it is a kiddie coaster, Mine Train. So of course being the credit whores we are we rode it twice! |
| |
As for the rest of the park, it is very well themed with different areas. Wild West, Pirates,The Lost World (full of Dinosaurs) and their very own 6 foot mouse..... |
| |
Overall the park is excellent if you have children, with friendly staff and some good kiddie rides to keep them occupied and a few good rides for the grown ups too. Its well worth a visit.... |
