Took a rare day off yesterday.
There is an amusement park on the south coast of England, where I used to go as a kid/teenager. It is probably the oldest in Britain (opened in 1880), and has Britain's oldest rollercoaster (opened in 1920) which is one of the world's 20 remaining scenic railway type rollercoaster (no upstops, and a brakeman on each train acting as "driver"). I have not been there since the late 1970s (or possibly 1980s), but it was a big part of my childhood/teen years. About 15 years ago the park closed down, and a couple of years later the rollercoaster caught fire (it was a wooden one so burned easily). This spring the park at last reopened and last Thursday restoration on the rollercoaster finished. So Yesterday I took the day off and went to ride the rollercoaster for "old time's sake". Not a cheap day out. Admission was reasonable (=~$21) but the train fair down there was not (=~$60). So basically $81 for a ride on a rollercoaster! Unfortunately the coaster only ran for three days before breaking down about an hour before I arrived, so $81 for a ride I NEVER GOT !  Quote:
