Sorry if this isn't the place to put this but I need to talk about this. Last Saturday I posted somewhere here (might have been on Scarefest board) about going to the park with anxiety during Scarefest, and I went today. Everything went really well, I knew where to go and where to avoid, got some good rides on Galactica, Nemmy, Oblivion and Wickerman in the dark.
But one thing f*cked me over that I wasn't prepared for. The queue time boards. I was nearing my limit in terms of my anxiety and I said to my girlfriend who I'm with (who also has anxiety) "If the Smiler queue is under an hour, we can try get on that before we go, but I don't think I can put up with anything over an hour". The queue board and app both said '40 mins' and I thought "fantastic!" But what I wasn't prepared for was queueing for an hour and not even being close to the inside section of queue. I reckon the queue was about 2 hours. This messed with my head and eventually we just had to leave the queue and go home.
This was my first towers visit since May and I have been looking forward to it for months. I did all I could to prepare so I could enjoy the day as much as possible. And everything was going so well untill one small thing that turned a successful outing into trying not to cry in my girlfriend's dad's car.
(Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, I will delete if I need to)
