I went to six flags NJ once - it was very cool but tbh you get the same in the UK.

Have you been to the Pleasure Beach?

I really like Liverpool, I haven't been there for a long time though. Went to Birmingham once. And Manchester is okay but I prefer London or Liverpool tbh. Tbf I've been to a lot of cities.
I've only been to the Pleasure Beach once but it was so good 😊.

Will you go on all the rollercoasters? It was actually my first time on a rollercoaster, and I went last year for my birthday 😊.

Maybe. How did you go on all the rollercoasters?
It was really busy when I went last year
Did you go on a school day?
I went on 1st September last year.
We are combining with the illuminations this year.

I went on a school day, yes, it was still busy but we got to go on the Revolution and the Avalanche twice. That's one advantage of being homeschooled lol. The disadvantage is (or was) that whenever we went to a museum or shop on a school day ppl would say "ooh did you get today off?" 😂
I like the illuminations - haven't gone for ages though.

Monday to Saturday, 8am - 8pm. Don't get shocked though because half of that was always us playing our instruments as we basically all wanted to be musicians. So we'd do 2hrs music, 2hrs schoolwork, and alternate 😂.
Never had summer holidays but tbh the effect of doing school at home means there's no need to have a six week break from school. There's just no travel stress so it feels more natural to just stay home and carry on lol.

If we got fed up we would go out for the day so that made up for it 😂.

I went to Thorpe Park last year for my school's reward trip. But it was really busy as every other school it seems like decided to go to Thorpe Park for their rewards trip that day. I went the year before as well, it wasn't busy though as the longest queue was 15 mins. That was the day the Queen died though. There was confusion and disbelief when the news was released.

When we went to the pleasure beach it was pretty much just sixth formers, adults and a handful of children.

Did it spoil the day?

lol ok fair enough. Do your parents need to be authorised somehow to homeschool you?
