Theme park related dreams you’ve had?

I had a random dream last night
I was at towers on the opening day of project ocean weird thing (clear as day this dream) the walls were black washed with the phalanx loco in white on the walk way leading up to the tunnel, the entrance to the tunnel had p-x14 above it with the logos on both sides
walking through the portal there was an immediate left turn leading through the concrete bunker there was red flashing lights and TV monitors along the sides of the queline.
At the end there was a right u-turn leading up a flight of stairs to the loading platform. the new ride was a doubleseated floorless top spin.
It was sat upon a steel mesh floor with water beneath with what looks like water jets on both sides.
On boarding the ambient music changed to a sinister style as the restraints came down and locked into position
A loud voice shouted over the tannoy
THE BEAST HAS ESCAPED......ATTACK......
On the attack the ride lurched backwards starting it's sequence
The ride was pretty much a blur being thrown about and then at the end being soaked via the jets, first our side then the other all the while we was being thrown about there was like a water battle as if the beast was throwing it's tenticals at us...

Unfortunately I don't really know the full ending as my alarm went off (I call that sods law the good section always gets cut off at the last second lol but I hope this dream comes back to finish off!!!
 
I had an interesting theme park dream last night…

I was at Universal Orlando riding the Hogwarts Express… except they’d replaced the ornately themed Harry Potter train carriages with a fleet of CrossCountry Class 170 trains, replicated almost piece-by-piece from those seen on the Cardiff Central-Nottingham route:

Universal claimed that this change was because they wanted to “replicate the magic of the British commute” in Orlando, but the forums roundly accused it of being a cost-cutting exercise…
 
I had another relatively weird theme park dream last night…

I was visiting “Oakwood Theme Park in Wales” (as usual, the name is in inverted commas, as the park I visited bore little resemblance to the real life Oakwood). The park was somewhat more extravagant than the actual Oakwood!

I started my day on “Treetops”, which was more like Thirteen at Alton Towers than the humble Zierer Tivoli that graced Oakwood’s woods for 35 years! The key difference is that instead of all the theming in the drop track area, the train went into some sort of backstage freezer area with staff casually staring at us as the track dropped! I also left my bag in the hold on here by accident… but when I went back to retrieve it later, they wouldn’t give it back to me until they’d performed DNA sequencing on both me and the bag to check we were a match!

I then bizarrely rode “Detonator”, which was some sort of dementedly forceful frog hopper style ride instead of the actual Fabbri drop tower at Thorpe Park, before moving onto “Megafobia”… which, instead of a CCI wooden coaster, was an exact clone of Shambhala, Chinese theming and all!

I then went onto some sort of haunted house that was somewhat of a bizarre mix between The Curse at Alton Manor and the Neverland walkthrough at Oakwood… I walked into the indoor queue, and there was a blue screen of death projected onto the wall. I muttered to myself “This thing could do with a revamp” before the projector suddenly flickered to life and showed “DID YOU SAY I NEED A REVAMP?” on the wall in angry white writing, with lightning flash sound effects in the background. I got out of there pretty sharpish!

Out of nowhere, I bumped into Hixee from the CoasterForce Forums, and we chatted for a bit before riding “Speed” together. Now unlike the other rides I’ve described so far, Speed was actually the Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter from the real Oakwood, but it had seatbelts. And this proved to be an interesting bone of contention for Hixee… the ride had a bizarre mixture of B&M and Intamin seatbelts, and I sat down in a seat with a B&M seatbelt. But Hixee said to me “Move over! I’m only sitting in a seat with the mighty B&M seatbelt; I don’t trust those flimsy Intamin ones!”… so I swiftly moved over to a seat with an Intamin seatbelt so that he could sit in a seat with a B&M seatbelt.

After that, we bizarrely decided to go to an in-park bar together and order alcohol (this is where you know it’s a dream, given that I don’t drink in real life!). On the one hand, this bar was really luxurious, somewhat like that French showboat or similar bars at Europa Park… but on the other hand, it was also like some sort of teen nightclub, selling cheap rounds of shots and playing dance music in one section! We initially started with cocktails, but we then had the bright idea of ordering a big tray of shots! At this point, Hixee was still moaning about the seatbelts on Speed… so I gave him the ultimatum of “every time you moan about seatbelts, we take a shot!”, and as such, the whole tray ended up being downed between us!

When we exited the bar (somehow still sober even after all that alcohol!)… it turned out that the rest of the park had transitioned into party mode, as it was “Happy Hour” for the final hour of the day, where dance music was being played loudly over all of the speakers and the ride operators were giving out free alcohol to everyone on every ride! Resultantly, a second ride on each of Megafobia and Speed saw us down multiple cocktails and shots (and bizarrely, this alcohol was “coaster-ready alcohol”, as promoted by the park, that defied gravity and made it round all of the rides intact apart from anything you drank during the ride!).

At that point, I bade Hixee goodbye before trying to head out of the park… but I then met my newfound enthusiast friend from university that I mentioned in the happy thread a couple of weeks back! We chatted for a bit and then stayed together to go to a central area of the park for Oakwood’s equivalent of a nighttime show to represent the end of the day… everyone linking arms around a bonfire and belting out Auld Lang Syne, despite it not being New Year! And of course, the park plied us with more free alcohol as we left…

That was an utterly bizarre dream that took many unexpected turns… not least the unexpectedly boozy turn it took given that I don’t even drink in real life!
