After a long bus journey from Boston to Hunstanton (changing buses at Spalding, and King's Lynn), I went to Rainbow Park to ride the Miami Trip, owned by the Roper family. Of all the Miamis that I've seen, I think that this one has the best artwork on it's backflash. New to Rainbow Park in 1999, this ride was originally named Terminator, with a Star Wars theme, but was rethemed to Miami Trip, with a surf theme in 2007 after the owners of the ride eventually found the original artwork dark and dull for a seaside resort. This has now been my fourth Miami that I've been on in my lifetime, and I'll be uploading on and offride videos of the Dance Zone at Luna Park in Scarborough, and the Miami Fever at Carousel Park in Bridlington soon when I go on holiday in Yorkshire at the Haven park Blue Dolphin in July this year. ;)
UPDATE (7th August 2017): This Miami is no longer at Rainbow Park in Hunstanton as of 6th May 2017, it was folded up, because the ride has now been sold to a showman called Robert Summers. However he is visiting Dunes Leisure Funfair in Mablethorpe (from the end of June) with it, and will be there until the end of August this year.
