Advantages: none

Disadvantages: queueing and rubbish staff

The anticipation nearly finished us off before we got there. You pass this ride as soon as you arrive at the Pleasure Beach and the queues are phenominal so it goes without saying that it must be worth the wait. Anyway, having put middle aged sensible head on, realised everyone coming off the ride was extremely wet and I didn't want to spend all day looking like a dubious entrant into a wet tee shirt competition. Joint decision to return at the end of the day. Giddy with excitement we joined the queue at 5.30, reached the front of it at 6.25!! and climbed into one of the Viking boat thingys - already got soggy knickers and haven't even set off but I'm sure it'll be worth it. Or so i thought, just before one of the men working on the ride asked us to get out of boat thingy. Waited around for another 15 minutes, no communication from any staff as to what was going on. The ride was stopped, people escorted off it and we gave up. The staff protocol was dreadful - no consideration given to any of the paying customers and if its the sort of ride that breaks down I won't waste my time next time!

Summary: not worth bothering
