I loved it.
Although Dragons Fury wipes the floor with it, Spinball Whizzer is still a very very good ride.

So we can only enjoy Spinball if we have skipped the queue?

Are you always this synical...

Anyway onto the topic, I would have gone on it today, if I hadn't headed straight for bloody nemesis at the start of the day and found it closed, then come back to Spinball later to find that flamin shut!!! :x :x :evil:

I love it. It does what it's supposed to - and it does it well. It's also a different ride everytime, depending on how you sit!

Go Spinball!

Spinball is an ace ride. I thought it would be slower and only spin slowly as its a family ride but hey! Its ace!
