Not wanting to boast but Codemasters took us all there yesterday (indeed on a work day). Of course it rained, and of course Oblivion was worth doing as often as humanly possible (SERIOUS freefall into a hole type situation.) At least one Codie daren't go on it, and at least one other blew chunks after Nemesis. Even the old Log Flume managed to raise a few laughs. Another hilarious moment was watching this fat bloke attempting to squeeze into the Oblivion harness. By two members of staff. He had to get off and just watch, as his ample gut wouldn't fit, so the moral of the story, and some advice for any lardy Yarozers wanting to go this Summer, is don't eat too many donuts, or suffer serious dissapointment.
