Heres mine:
  • I hadn't been on Hex, Ripsaw or Charlie until June 27th 2008.
    Nor had I ever ridden Skyride until then.
    The only ride that generally scares the shite out of me still is Oblivion.
    I think Enterprise is actually a decent ride.
    I want to be the one that knocks Corkscrew to the floor and smash the whore to bits.
    Never ridden UG Swinger.
    I can't stand shows and live entertainment, it just bores me.
    Never stood foot in Old McDonalds Farmyard.
    I hate Duel and Haunted Hollow.


Thats about it. :D

Go to the corner of the room! With your hands on your head! And after class you can write 1000 lines stating "I must not speak about Duel in such a way"

Oh dear, hit a nerve?

I'm sorry but its probably the worst interactive ride I've ever been on, and to hear it replaced such a quality attraction, IMO worse than installing Splash Karts over the Swan Boats and Submission over Energizer.

It's awful, but if it is what the GP like, fair do's. Can't complain, I just think its a dire and tired ride. They could have put the money to making The Haunted House so much better.

I think some of the best rides are the kids ones, the thought behind them is brilliant and regularly surpasses some of the more well known rides. Examples include berry bish bash, RMT and driving school.

The first drop on spinball scares me.

Charlie and the chocolate factory has grown on me.

[quote=""Mackem Lad""]- The duck inside The Flume genuinely scares the crap out of me! :lol: [/quote]

THANK YOU! I thought it was just me! I literally have to go through that part of the ride with my eyes shut. If you ever hear anyone screaming, 'THAT ****ING DUCK!!!' on there, that'll be me! :D

Um, what else?

- I only started riding Ripsaw earlier this year, and it genuinely bothers me because I never feel safe in it.

- I used to refuse to go on the Haunted House ride (I have a thing about ghost trains), I'm fine with Duel though.

- I've never set foot in the farmyard area.
towers freak

i loved rollercoasters before i would ever go on one
i went to a TTF meet for the first time ever this year
i lost my rollercoaster virginity last year
i dislike drayton manor and think they should knock it down and start over
i love the corkscrew as the roughness of the ride gives it a personality
i think burger king is better than mcdonalds and wish it had replaced maccies ages ago

Few more

I have been in the Ribenna Berry Bish Bash once and loved it so much I secretly want to visit it every time.
I used to detest Hex until 2 years ago and now I adore it!
I'm not a fan of Air.
I don't actually see the fuss about Corkies ruffness, I find it okay, there are much worse out there.
I prefer Rameses to Ripsaw.
I didn't know The farm yard area existed until last year.
Spinball bores me.
I like Rita better than Stealth.

I'd agree about Corkie .... it really doesn't bother me ... I actually quite like it ... i've been getting some good airtime from it lately :)

Spinball is grudgingly of my third highest ridden rides now because of ERT ... can't wait for them to change it !! lol

I love the cheese that is Algenon's Attic :D

I've not done any of the Scarefest mazes as I'm a big chicken ... hopefully this year tho ...

I'm addicted to the E Number heaven that are the green slush puppies :D

-I've never been to any shows or events at park, haven't got the time, or patience for them.
-I know I am a minority (probably the only 1) I don't really like MB, it's overrated, Heave Ho is nothing special, Marauders Mayhem is just the teacups glorified up and Battle Galleons just gets you pointlessly wet (altho it is good ride) which I hate and you waste precious time in park drying off.
-Duel looks good from outside and in the q line through the house and pleease dont shoot me for this but the ride is tacky, not scary and the LEDS, dots and that revolving tunnel are ridiculous.
-Haunted hollow is overrated but good addition to park
-Don't bother with any of the flats altho i have been on blade and enterprise; don't want to go on ripsaw as i dont fancy being shot in the face by a blast of water and getting soaked...
-never steppped foot in the kids farmyard place since I was five years old and naturally I havent been on the Driving School :roll:
-Never been on any of the rides that are not in the park anymore including Black Hole apart from the teacups.
AstroDan

Haunted Hollow Overrated? Who exactly has overrated it? Hasn't everyone slagged it off?

:P
