Well boys - a pinball free day.....but still a great day.
Went to Knottsberry Farm Amusement Park, it is about a 10 minute drive from where we are staying.....



One of the first rides was a brand new ride called Windseeker - it is a 300 foot tower where seats are risen to the top and spin.
I dont do spin rides.
Tony does...........( looks like a handlebar from a pensioner scooter ! )







Tony then went on the drop ride .
I dont do drop rides
Tony does.......look at "Roy relaxed" here would ya !
Cheer up mate - we will play some pinball again reall soom I promise ya.






I spotted the 'Arcade' ( I can speak spanish so it's OK - I knew what the sign meant )....
NO pinballs in there boys......couple of dance machines and car games - as usual these days




Tony later went on the Pony Express.
I dont do Pony rides
Tony does.
Looking preeeeetty darn happy there straddling that horse Tony !
What ARE you doing to it - look at the guys face next to you  #@#





The bloody mother in law was at it again - following me around the US.




OK OK - so I do go on some rides - and this next one is a KILLER.
It is called Xcelerator - you sit in little Chev's



The ride accelerates from 0-130+ kph in around 2 seconds.
The take off speed is just absolutely insane.



Top Hat tower is 200+ feet high.




We went back on later in the afternoon and got front seat which was HEAPS better and so we could get this shot for you all.




What the F*CK do they feed the chickens over here - what roids are these things on !




Knotts is currently getting ready for Halloween so the theming around the park is pretty cool right now too..







We found a bar/diner for lunch just over the rode call TGIF - it was very very nicely decorated.
Heaps of random memorobilia around the place.





Notice they finally named a bar after whats in my undies !




Then later I took Tony for one of those famous Johnny Rockets shakes.....these diners are ALWAYS very cool looking and we sat counter-side, classic US style.







You will notice these places are PACKED  :lol
It is actually VERY quiet here at the moment and in Knotts we basically queued for nothing.

Hey V8racefan - how about a Thunderbird ?



Or even our own rental classic  :lol
Chevey Impala - leather interior etc, sunroof - pretty nice actually.



It is 6pm and we will soon head off to Downtown Disney for a feed and a look around - another VERY difficult day guys.
Did I mention the temprature is around 25 and there isnt a cloud in the sky
Hows work all?
