looks like it would be fun to ride

The rollercoaster doesnt look too bad either..

No way would i go on one of these.

I have a fear that any fairground ride that takes off from the ground, will come crashing down, killing me in the most horrible and painful way.

I think i must have a fairgroundride phobia.

This was my first thought too. Hopefully it'll seem longer...

Oops.

That's what happens when you don't actually visit the link in the OP.

Id rather go on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thSK4tb8siY

I really wanted to go to Six flags when in LA but didnt have time

Best coaster ive ever been on and ive been to a lot of theme parks across america.

Also this saw ride... i think it looks really lame tbh, lacks imagination and simplistic as hell.

I doubt it beats collossus at thorpe park, ignoring better ones elsewhere. the problem with new rollercoasters is that you forget how the other coasters felt when you first went on them and hence the unfamiliarity makes it feel better.

edit: Nvm, I thought you quoted the guy above your post.

The one thing that slightly disturbs me about this new ride is that obviously kids will ride it, yet it is tagged to a movie genre that involves brutal depictions of people being killed in hideous manners.

I can understand theme parks associating rollercoaster to cutesy cuddly animal films ala Disney, but for a major theme park in the UK to align their new ride to a torture porn film is in bad taste to be honest.

i've had more belly churning experiences on the toilet. looks poor. so what its steep. from the video. is that it?

just a way to promote Surrey and Thorpe.

bet the fella on the vid wasn't impressed also , just had to look it.

looks crap

Looks like something I would enjoy

Ah right, the video posted earlier cut out the bit at the beginning before the big lift hill. That doesn't look too bad actually, might have to try that some time.

More of a Nemesis man myself.

This tbh. I've been to Six Flags, Cedar Point and the usual Florida ones and I've never found a better rollercoaster than Nemesis. It's long, it's tight, and it's inventive.
That said, I'll still be going to Thorpe as soon as I can

Nemesis is just an awesome ride.

Looked pretty tame on that Youtube clip
