Ep 494: Theme Parklife
Full disclosure, this episode isn’t exactly “cheap” but it was necessary. Paul is having a bit of a tough time at the moment, and wanted to do something where he could let off some steam and have some genuine fun… So, on his own dime, Paul has paid for him and Eli to have a day out at one of the UK’s best known theme parks, Thorpe Park in Surrey. It’s been a long time since either of the Cheap Chaps had visited Thorpe Park, so now is a good time to check out the big, scary rides that exist past the turnstiles! They’ve only got a little over 5 hours, so they’ll cram in as much as they can. Paul can’t get enough of the most intense, thrilling rides at the park, but Eli may be a little more reluctant to be thrown about. This week, allow us to “have a bit of fun” as Paul and Eli tackle long queues, junk food, an overwhelming number of “young people”, and experience some of the most intense rollercoasters the UK has to offer. Whether you like it or not, you’ll hear every scream, cheer and roar of the rides this week on a temporarily “not cheap” episode of CheapShow.
