Posted by Random Scribbles http://www.americanadventure.co.uk/ It's tiny, and split into a handful of theme areas - a bit like Alton Towers, but Oh So Much Shitter. Frontier Theme, Mexican Theme and Space Age Theme - these are the only ones I can remember. The Mexican place had a Magic Carpet and Go Karts for no reason, the Frontier bit had a Runaway Train and the Space bit had the only decent ride - The Missile, which looped once forwards, and then once again backwards. Also there was a shop where you could get an Olde Worlde style photo of yourself for about fifty quid. Rubbish. Let's make The British Adventure! There would need to be a big dome over the whole thing that blocked out all the sunlight and occasionally covered everybody in a fine drizzle. Everything would cost an absolute fortune, but nobody would know who the money went to. There could be an outdoor swimming pool done up like a British beach - freezing cold, and full of broken glass and fag ends. The gift shops would just sell loads of American stuff, at twice the price. And for the kiddies - The Page 3 Fun Pillow Factory and Pin the dress on Liz Hurley!

The American Adventure is a terrible, terrible theme park situated in the slightly crappier end of my scummy home town (there's a reason I moved 4 hours drive away when I hit 18!)
Some ride ideas:
The Virgin Train - Like a Ghost Train, only you stop in the middle for 5 hours and then have to get on a bus to finish the ride.
City Centrifuge - a big, whirly ride themed on a Saturday night in any British City Centre - dodge flying glass, kebab wrappers, fat girls' cleavages and projectile vomit.
It's A Chav World After All - bizzaire boat ride around tableaus full of Burbery'n'Bling encrusted Chavs loitering around petrol stations and throwing McDonalds milkshakes at each other.
ToffHunting - Dress up like a twat, leap onto a horse, knock back a Sherry and then chase a terrified member of the British Upper Classes over mile after mile of other peoples' land with a pack of baying dogs. (actually, I'd pay to do that!)
