My favourite park!

Advantages: Lots of space and things to see and do
Disadvantages: None

...I have lived near Wythenshawe park all my life and it?s somewhere I have been many, many times. It is an ideal place for many things and for me it is great for walking the dogs in. I shall give a little bit of information of Wythenshawe park and my personal opinion on it. The location: Wythenshawe park is fairly big and located in Baguley. The park has the long and very busy, main road named Altrincham road on one side of it and the M56 motorway running past it on one side. The park is easily reached from various points and is not that far from Manchester airport either or other surrounding areas such as Altrincham, woodhouse park or even Manchester city centre itself. How big is the park? The park is fairly big and has plenty of space for people just wanting to relax in the sun, walk their dogs, have a game...

Review of Wythenshawe Park

Jurassic Park

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Ive always been a huge fan of the first Jurassic Park film, and always thought it could never be beaten in terms of its predecessors Jurassic Park 2 and 3. For me Jurassic Park signified what Steven Spielberg was always about, a brilliant director. Sure the story isn't an academy award criteria film, but the special effects, realism and guts to make a big blockbuster film certainly paid off. This review is on the 1993, sci -fi smash hit Jurassic Park, directed By Steven Spielberg. Spielberg had always wanted to make Jurassic Park, and this was said many times in interviews with him. The origins of Jurassic Park go back to Michael Crichton, novel of the same name. Spielberg always thought of the books concept and idea as brilliant and wanted to bring it to the big screen. The film was a huge box office success grossing well over $915...

Off to Duthie Park!

Advantages: lots to see, amenities, free, situation
Disadvantages: /

...Since moving to Aberdeen a few years ago, I have many times visited if not just passing through, the Duthie Park. It is a place all the locals have been to at least once, and is a strong attraction for visitors to Granite City! It is somewhere I would spend a lot of time during the holidays, wandering around with friends and generally having fun. I suppose I should feel so lucky to have such a wonder right on my door step! The Duthie Park is situated just off of Garthdee in the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. Surrounding the park there are various main roads, with an Asda, a B&Q, and a ski slope near by, not forgetting the university campus too. It's also around ten minutes from the centre of town too, so there are plenty surrounding the beautiful park should you want to wander! As I said, there are main roads all round Duthie Park so it...

Williamson PArk - the park on a hill

Advantages: Beautiful surroundings and free entry
Disadvantages: A bit hilly

...I would guarantee that lots of you reading this who have not heard of Williamson Park, will indeed have seen the most prominent building in it - if you have travelled on the M6 near to Lancaster. Williamson Park is a beautiful public park located on a hill above the city of Lancaster, Lancashire that consists of 54 acres of beautiful parkland. The pre-mentioned building in the park, and one that dominates Lancaster for miles around, is the Ashton Memorial ( or as it is known locally - the'Taj Mahal of the North'! ) - a huge domed, folly built in the 1900s by James Williamson (Lord Ashton) as a tribute to his late wife THE PARK Lancaster's Williamson Park was built and opened in 1878.by millionaire James Williamson.( Lord Ashton) who became a millionaire producing oil cloth and linoleum which was exported from...

Park and Ride

Advantages: excellent variety of things to do, good graphics
Disadvantages: small screen size makes it difficult to play

...I loved the Theme Park game on my PC, so when I saw that it was available for the DS, I jumped at the opportunity of purchasing it. For those unfamiliar with the format of the 'Theme' games, they are basically simulation games where you have to make as much money as you can!] In theme park world, this involves starting a theme park from scratch and building it as you like - designing the format. You also have to hire scientists and spend money on research and, every now and again (depending on your investment levels) they will come up with a new idea for a ride/shop/restaurant for your park. You have to correctly judge what your crowd will like/dislike and how much they will be willing to pay to gain entry to your park. There are other aspects that you need to manage - workers will strike over pay, stock levels for the restaurants...

Queue Park

Advantages: Good Rides, Everything Close Together, Family Day Out
Disadvantages: Long Queues, No Shade, Expensive

...I have been to Thorpe Park on a number of occasions over the last few years. The university I went to was about a 15 minute drive away from the park, so it was one of the places we went to at least once a year. I?ve always had a good overall time there, though when I visited last weekend there were a few downsides to the park that somewhat let down our visit. Although some of these factors are things that are not necessarily in the park management?s control, I personally felt that there should be more measures in place to combat this type of thing. Anyway, let me explain. Last weekend, me and three friends of mine decided to head over to Thorpe Park. We had decided a couple of weeks in advance to go, as I had received some 2-for-1 ticket vouchers in the post recently, so we picked a Sunday and crossed our fingers for sun. As we woke...

Review of Tussuads Thorpe Park, Surrey

Thorpe Park.

Advantages: Mega Fun
Disadvantages: Rides do breakdown a lot.

...Thorpe Park is a small UK Theme Park situated in the Chertsey, Staines. It doesn't get many visitors compared to some other parks but without a doubt it is home to some of the UK's best rides. **The Park** Thorpe Park is one of few theme parks in England and has to battle tough competition from places like Alton Towers and Chessington. It is home to some of the most known rides in England such as Nemesis Inferno and Colossus, which is known worldwide in theme park world. Thorpe Park opened many years ago now and started off with rides for little children like the little car things that go round a little track etc.. it was quite a while though before they got their first rollercoaster. Thorpe Park is currently closed for the winter and will reopen on March 15th with whats tipped to be the UK's best rollercoaster. Its been going...

Solway Holiday Park

Advantages: the farm and hot tub
Disadvantages: people in our hot tub

...I have just come back from a week in the Lakes and have decided to try and have a go at reviewing the place we stayed. Solway Holiday Park is situated in Silloth Cumbria (about 22 miles west of Carlisle) which is small village with a population of around 3000. If you want a town with lots going on then Silloth is not for you, it has a lovely large green and a great sea view although it is not a beach. It also has cafes and the odd take away along with some little shops and of course a Spar (everywhere seems to have a Spar). Near the green is amusements which also sells refreshments. The park itself was quite easy to find I got the directions from greenflag. As we drove in through the entrance the reception was quite well sign posted, when we booked we were told booking in time was 4pm (which I thought was a bit late but...

Linkin Park

Advantages: great DJ,Great singin ratio, its very good
Disadvantages: the drums are not very loud and its the same story with the guitars

...I have read many ops on this album over the time I have been member on both dooyoo and ciao and I have felt that none of them have really done this great album justice. So I help that my op does……… A year ago hardly anyone had heard of linkin park and there nu-metal style, since then they have become massive and are taking the music industry by storm. The band members are all very skilled and talented, however in some of the songs I do not belive that they all perform to their true potential. The drumming in the album is not really all that prominent, however if it was not there you would notice it! It just holds the beat to all of the songs, there is nothing special about the drumming. The lyrics are actually quite good for a nu-metal band. They seem to have a meaning(if only I could work them out). They...

Lyme Park in Disley

Advantages: A beautiful day out for the whole family
Disadvantages: lack of toilet facilities

...Lyme park is a beautiful, grand Elizabethan house situated in the heart of Disley in Cheshire. (It is run in association with the National trust and Stockport council). *Getting there?. By car, take the A6 from either Stockport or Buxton and the park is situated near Disley. Car parking cost £3.80 per car, which is refunded on purchase of an Adult house/garden ticket. The bus route is good as the 199 Buxton to Manchester Airport/ Manchester Airport-Buxton buses run regularly. There is also a bus from Macclesfield. The nearest train station is Disley which is a short walk to the entrance of the park (Apparently, when Lyme Hall is open the National Trust offer a courtesy bus to and from the Hall. I have never used this service so I can not offer any comment on it). *Opening times?.. The park is open all year round...
