CAMILA PHAN: Fright Night i Thorpe Park!

Hvert år tilbyder min skole at tage en flok elever til Fright Night i Thorpe Park, hvor overskuddet går til Gambia. (En tur der også bliver tilbudt til eleverne hvert år).

Vi tog bussen derud direkte efter skole i fredags, hvor vi så kørte i omkring to timer, før vi ankom til selve parken. Thorpe Park er en forlystelsespark, og Fright Night er en af deres specielle aftener, der kører i oktober måned op til Halloween med uhyggelige gange med levende skuespillere, der skræmmer en.

Parken er ikke specielt stor, men vi nåede alle de vilde rutsjebaner og en af de uhyggelige gange ud af fire, da vi kun havde fire timer at være i parken i alt. Vejret var heldigvis med os, så alt i alt var det en rigtig god oplevelse. Til aftensmad fik købte vi kebab med pomfritter, har dog ingen billeder af det, da det var alt for mørkt (og jeg var muligvis alt for sulten..).

Klokken ni kørte vi tilbage til Crowborough, hvor min værtssøster og jeg ville blive hentet af vores værtsmor. Busturen hjem sov jeg det meste af vejen, men vi havde dog denne konkurrence kørende, hvor eleverne skulle sende jokes til Mr. Williams, og den bedste joke skulle findes.

// Every year my school offers a group of students to go to Fright Night in Thorpe Park, where the proceeds will go to the Gambia. (Another trip that also gets offered to the students every year).

We went with the bus directly after school on Friday, where we drove for about two hours till we arrived at the park. Thorpe Park is an amusement park, and Fright Nights are one of their special events, that go through the weeks up to Halloween with scary mazes with real actors, who frighten you.

The park itself is not that big, but we made it through all the wild rollercoasters and one of the scary mazes out of four, since we only had four hours in the park. The weather was luckily with us that night, so on the whole it was a really good experience. We ate kebab with chips for dinner, but I did not take any photos, because it was too dark (and I might have been too hungry..).

At nine o’clock we drove back to Crowborough, where my hosts sister and I got picked up by our host mother. On the bus on our way back, I was sleeping most of the time, however we had this competition going on, where the students all sent jokes to Mr. Williams, and the best joke would be chosen.
