Anyhow, James feels entirely quite differently. He still hasn't forgiven me for not taking him to Florida. He says 'Thorpe Park' and 'Alton Towers' in tones of deep awe, respect and intense yearning.
Which brings me onto this rather neat little competition. As you know, I don't do many of these but this one is pretty good. You could win a year's worth of fun at our home-grown theme parks if you're smart (or plain lucky) and can guess where this picture was taken. Yes, yes, it's blurry - that's part of the sneaky tough bit (rather than my poor photography skills).
I'll give you a clue - it's one of these....(and last time I looked Madame Tussauds didn't have a lot of screaming going on - but hey, it could have changed!).
Thorpe Park
Chessington World of Adventures
Alton Towers
Legoland
Warwick Castle
Madame Tussuads
Lego Discovery Centre
Get it right and you will be put into a draw to win a Merlin Annual Pass - this competition isn't going out over a huge number of blogs, so it's really worth having a shot. But do it quickly as the competition closes on July 31st
If you don't luck out then it might be worth buying The Sun from Saturday. The paper is giving away 2 for 1 vouchers for more than 700 UK attractions. Check it all out here....
Go on, get guessing!! Post your answers in the comments below...fingers crossed..... C'mon, how hard can it be???

Alton Towers? And unlike your visit to Walt Disney World I don't see any pixelated tongues.
I was waiting for that, Laura!!!! Weird thing, that photo has VANISHED. Can't find it anywhere... ;)
Alton Towers. I'm not going -even if I win. Fortunately have one daughter old enough, and hopefully sensible enough, to take the teenaged one.
Maryom - you're a woman after my own heart! I like the cafe though...or hey, you could go to nice calm places like Madame Tussauds or Seaworld!
Alton Towers.
Yes, I'd say Alton Towers too, though it probably isn't. And you are not alone in thinking that if only someone had had a bit of moral courage we might have dispensed with the hideous invention of the roller coaster while still on the drawing board.
Milla: firm and decisive. Spoken like a woman who's been - many times?
Fennie: I concur...totally
Alton Towers.
So many of those places are near to me!
My husband says it's Oblivion at Alton Towers. I believe him becasue he's been on it. No he didn't puke. Yes he's quite insane....
Crikey, so far it's Alton Towers all the way. Oblivion??? eeeeeeek *squeals in high voice*
Keep on entering chaps....
I only came to see how the young master is.
I can't bear thought of fair rides. Would rather stick pins in my eyes, thank you.
I'm guessing Chessington...
xx
Nothing would induce me to go on one of those rides - my crevette supper feels nervous just looking at the blurry photo.
I'd go for Alton Towers.
Just back from Blackpool Pleasure Beach where I braved The Irn Bru Revolution with my son.
He kept his eyes open and loved it, but I kept my eyes shut and rediscovered God thru prayer.
Ali x
spoken like a woman who's copying the others and a bit out of her depth!
Milla: do you do the big rides? I keep promising James I'll take him and a mate to Alton Towers - and that's just up from you and over a bit, yes?? Maybe we could make a day of it?! In lieu of proper holidays? Oh God, listen to me. How sad is this?
It has to be Alton Towers. I'd have to stand and watch from a distance. I hope they have an ice-cream van nearby...
Oh I would love these =- Alton Towers
Zoo: Me too. I figure all these theme parks should have nice proper cafes next to the big rides plus mobile manicurists etc...tarot card readers...umm, male models?
Madhouse: mad by name, mad by nature?! Crazy woman but yup, you're in the draw! good luck!
Alton Towers. I think.
I'm going with Alton Towers. I used to love all the scary rides, I juts have to look at them now and they make me feel sick
Complete guess, but Chessington????
Well, I'm guessing it's not the castle...
Do I get a prize for that? ;)
Callaway Park, Calgary, Canada?
Hmmmm. . . . I suppose not. You didn't suggest that it might be in "the colony across the pond."
You wouldn't catch me going near any of them!
Oh I would not be dragged onto one of those rides....cannot stomach them at all, but do enjoy watching, from a distance, manicures and male models sounds good to me Jane....Wouldn't like to guess at which theme park it is...has been years since I ventured into one. Alton towers just used to have gardens, a ruined castle and a chair lift in the days we did school trips there lol x
I Think it's Thorpe Pak and the rollercoaster is Saw: The Ride... ;-)
Alton Towers, I think.
My guess is Alton Towers because I believe I've had the same expression on my face several times on this exact same ride.
Huge thanks for entering everyone!
The competition is now closed and all the correct answers will go in the hat (yes, there IS a hat) and I'll be able to announce the winner on Monday...
Well, well, well. It was Thorpe Park....Jopo - you were the only one who got it right and your name went in the hat - but sadly, the winner was Marg Farmer who got the correct answer on A Place of My Own!
Harumph. Really wanted someone from my blog to win.
cheats clearly DON'T prosper then! But whose to know one line of screaming ninnies from another? There aren't any of these hellish places between you and me, are there? don't they tend to be kinda northern?? ie north of me?
