Strange thread for my first new topic post but whatever....
I, like I'm sure many of you have, have had a fair few dreams about going to theme parks but the one that sticks out in my mind the most is one that I had exactly a year ago (thanks to Facebook and it's Memories thing for reminding me), the night before going to Alton Towers with a few friends.
My dream went like this:
As far as I can remember it started off with us already excitedly walking through the park. We started over in Forbidden Valley and had been on Air and Nemesis. Afterwards we made our way over to X-Sector and went on Oblivion and The Smiler. The best thing about it being a dream was no queue times.
After getting the adrenaline rush from Oblivion, my friends and I decided it was time to make our way over to the Dark Forest. So we make our way down past the front of the castle trying to decided what to go on first, and decided to make our decisions based on the length of the queues.
Now, here's where my unconscious brain decided to try and play a trick on me. As we make our way up to I see the sign, that should say 'Dark Forest', actually says 'Ug Land' but for some reason this didn't throw me off. Looking back on it I should have picked that up but it was the next thing which really confused me. As you know, you walk into the Dark Forest and have Rita on your right hand side. But it wasn't... Not even Corkscrew, which would have made sense... Nope. Sitting in Rita's spot was Nemesis...
At this point I said to myself, 'Hang on... Nemesis doesn't go here. That's over the other side of the park.... OH!' Slapped my forehead with an audible slap and said '...I'm dreaming!'
As soon as I said those words I woke up in my room about 10 seconds before my alarm went off. I got up thinking 'weird dream', and set of to actually go to Alton Towers.
So, that was a thing.... Anyone else have any weirdly specific theme park related dreams? Ever get woken up by inconsistencies in the park layout?
Cheers,
Alex
