Also, some of the ride photos have a 70's feel to them - are they taken by site cameras and you buy them later or something ?

They were 'on-ride' photo's that you buy afterwards.
Normally I dont buy these but obviously in this case we just HAD to as they are SO bad 
I then took photo's of them when we got back to the room so I could post here.

And TonyT - the crowds were WAY down at this park as it was a Tuesday.
This is where we will be coming back to for a day when we do the September PPE trip mate - so man up my friend 

I found a better shot of Goliath.



And this is the hotel we are staying at ( and will re-book for September ) it's so close to the park and a nice place to stay too
