One of the greatest things to do on a holiday! Here are my highlights :
Cú Chulainn : The classic coaster everybody loves, and it's for a reason! Never really liked wooden coasters but this one is amazing! The drop from it being slow to go a fast pace for the rest of the ride is great. A decently long one, too! Surprisingly only about a 10 minute wait on some of the busiest hours on a Saturday. If you aren't afraid of roller coasters, this one is for you!
The Quest : My personal favourite, only complaint is length. First makes you go backwards, then after that a drop, and that keeps a fast pace for most of the ride, until you go backwards again! The first time going onto this was the best because I didn't know what could happen next. Has some great atmosphere, too! Fantastic job at tir na nog. Only complaint is that first time going on was the wait being about 40 minutes.
Air Race : This one is a heck of a ride! Getting on, you start rotating. After, you start flipping around and that's the best part! It was so, so fun and this is one i reccomend if you aren't scared of being upside down alot.
Na Fianna Force : This is one to DEFINETLY go on! Going onto it not knowing what's gonna happen is better : a long, fast ride, flipping you around sometimes, and that's apart of the fun! Definetly scary too, and you could barely know what it was going to throw at it next! Ready to join the Fianna?
More info on other rides :
Flight School : If you are only slightly scared of roller coasters, this one is for you! It has no drops, and keeps a nice steady pace the whole time. Decently fun with some nice airport decorations, which is my favourite! The ride itself isn't too long, but you go twice in one session along the tracks to make up for it. Just outside my favourites, wish it was a little more faster paced.
Celtic Dreamer (i think it's called?)
A slow one for a break. If your too scared for roller coasters, try this one out as it isn't too scary, yet isn't boring either. The pace is slow, yet looks MUCH faster looking at it. I'd reccomend to try it out if your looking for a break after roller coasters like the Cú Chulainn.
Power Surge : This one is great fun! Start off slow, and then go spinning around sometimes sideways! A long, fast paced ride for someone that needs some fun. Just at the barrier of my favourite rides.
Additional Info : I didn't go on the Viking Voyage, as it was a water ride and I didn't want to get wet. And also, the lines were really long. I also didn't go on the rotator... I was too scared myself. Also didn't fancy the sky walk, as the line looked well over an hour and we were running short on time.
Zoo Information : This park has a great zoo, with diverse animals! Birds, cats, apes, you name it! There is a wide variety of birds, from predator to prey. They also keep some more endangered animals, which i like, such as the pheasant and the amur animals. Sadly, I didn't know about the Lemur Woods and by the time I had seen it it was 10 past 4 and the lemur woods are open from 12-4PM. Definetly looks interesting, though.
On my visit, the only available animals you were allowed to touch were the sheep. You could see some rabbits, goat and alpacas though.
The meerkats were very, very interesting to look at! One is always watching for danger in the sky, and the others are walking. Who will tell them there's no danger here?
The macaques were fascinating to see, climbing around and being active. Also seen 2 macaques sleeping on eachother, which was cute!
Food Choices :
Want a filling, cheap enough meal? Try the Argentinian grill. There's chicken goujouns and chips meal, chicken bites and chips meal, bison burger & chips meal, and some others for €9.95, with some free optional sauces.
I would reccomend going for a nice day out. Definetly going next year!
