Rollercoasters

I hate rollercoasters

We went on a trip to Alton Towers last year with college and I got dragged on all the rides. Felt shit for days after

:-(

Is that ride at Six Flags American Adventure? I wan't to go there at some point. Also want to go to Cedar Point in Ohio, which is supposed to be the best park in the world for rollercoasters.

Yep thats the one, very good rides but a bit cold when we went. Never been to Cedar Point as its in the middle of nowhere, but from what I've seen it looks like one of the best parks in the world.

Went on the big one this year mainly due to my teenage daughter mithering the fuck out of me.
I know there are bigger, faster, blah,blah but after years of bottling it and hating myself for it i finally got it out of the way.
Never have i been more contented driving home from Blackpool.

I even went on Infusion while filled with my new found bravery. (there is still one ride i won't have. It's not a rollercoaster though.
The Bling outside Burgerking. Well dodgy looking)

Felt like I'd just done 12 rounds with Mike Tyson after coming off this - bit pricey as well, I think we paid about $10 each!!!
Best rides in Vegas for me are on top of the Stratosphere.

Kraken at Seaworld
Nemesis and Rita at Alton Towers (I went for the first time two weeks ago)
I also loved 'Mount Everest' at Disneys Magic Kingdom lol
I know its not really a rollercoaster but Val Halla(?) at Blackpool pleasure beach is top!

Thorpe Park > Alton Towers.

Worth the 3 and a half hour trip.

Thorpe Park > Alton Towers.

Worth the 3 and a half hour trip.

Doesn't Thorpe Park have the worst ride availability record in Europe? i.e one or more of the rides is always broken down.

 

[Blu KB]

Grand National is the Daddy IMO! Old fashion white knuckle ride for you.

Others that are also up there..

Oblivion
Air
Big One
Nemesis

Big Ones that are shit.

Rita
Any others?

I like rita!

grand national is probably the scariest ride i have been on, spent the whole time thinking i was gonna fall off.

terrifed.

Don't know.. its really small though.. like the size of Sport City! The park is not really for little ones, it's all geared towards thrill seekers..

Been Alton 6 times, and Thorpe once. Thorpe beat everyone of those trips.

SAW the Ride opens next year.. another rollercoaster.

Grand National, Blackpool. Just brilliant fun.
