Drayton Manor flooded

(uh the broken roof is just ride theming I think, not a result of the storm)

I went here last year and it RAINED and RAINED and RAINED and RAINED. Then I thought fuck it and went on the water ride (the lighthouse thing you can see in these pictures) because I wasn’t gonna get any wetter and it STOPPED raining when I was in the queue but THEN I was deposited at high speed into a freezing lake and afterwards had to PAY ABOUT FIVE POUNDS to go into one of those awful unhygienic drying machines after which IT STARTED RAINING AGAIN, FUCK EVERYTHING.

Britain is not really built for theme parks or indeed leisure facilities in general.

Just heard the news about a child being killed at Drayton Manor (one of the UK’s biggest theme parks). That’s really upset me. I went there as a kid and I remember them testing the rides in the pouring rain without people on to check they were safe. I wonder what happened? I can’t imagine how her family must feel. :(
