Looks good. I'll just ignore the fact that 112 degrees is steeper than 100 degrees :confused:

I HATE fast rides with a lot of twists but THAT is something I must go on

Mmm, bet that would be a weird sensation!

Strange that Thorpe Park has been made the 'thrill seeker' themepark. I remember seeing the pigs at Thorpe Park farm.

I can't think of anything worse than putting myself through that torture

I defy anything to beat the rush I got on the X ride at Six Flags.

Was that it? It lasted like 30 seconds?

Ciphon · 13 Mar 2009 at 17:18

Looks pretty hardcore! I'd give it a go

Oooo, didn't know this was open yet.

Must get some tickets for Thorpe Park soon

Simmz · 13 Mar 2009 at 17:20

Still won't beat this

Ultra_Extreme · 13 Mar 2009 at 17:23

hmm might have to make the trip down there for that one, looks sweet, pretty similar to 'speed' at oakwood park in pembrookshire though

V4NT0M · 13 Mar 2009 at 17:25

Admit it, you'd hit the girl.

cheets64 · 13 Mar 2009 at 17:25

Is that called the S ride

Which is an awsome ride.

I do prefer the wooden coaster they have though.
