So, we ended up going to Wonderland after all because the weather didn't *seem* to be all that hot.
We were standing in the line for the new 'Italian Job' roller coaster in some heat, not too bad, when the heavens opened and it began to piss down with rain. At first we welcomed it to cool off but as the rain got heavier and we got wetter it became uncomfortable and we were soon soaked. The line kept being held up by the rain too as they weren't running the ride in the worst of it. An hour and a half later we got on. The ride was good, Dylans first coaster and he loved it, but then the rain stopped and it immediately became hot again. Now we were wet and hot and very uncomfortable.
We stopped for food and then joined another line for something else, and the heat was so intense I began to feel ill. H was grumping and clearly overheated. Nobody seemed to be enjoying themselves, D included who was sunburned and tired, so we decided to go home rather than suffer the heat any longer. I cannot tell you how good it was to get into that air conditioned car after that! All of us (bar G the driver) fell asleep in the car on the way home, completely done in by the heat.
