Tony The Tiger Shark

So today was Alton Towers!!!! Weather was poor but had lots of fun. Got on each ride that we wanted to. Richard hadn't been on a roller coaster before and Nemesis was his first stop. Safe to say he liked it. Personally i had been there before but still love the rides. Hadn't been on Thirteen, which was good. Didn't know what to expect from it all i knew is that it was a coaster with a difference. So glad i didn't know about it as it didn't spoil the surprise during it.

The day can be summed up by this picture though of Richard and his prize catch. He got this for kicking buckets off a podium. It looked hard and was set up to be difficult (as all fairground games are), but he only had to pay once and then was the proud owner of a 5 foot tiger shark which we aptly named Tony. Carrying around this beast was a task and even almost left it on a ride!

I plan more adventures with Tony so watch this space :)
