What theme park rides won't you go on?

I'm not a roller coster type of person, I'm not scared of the heights or the speed but the Gforce can be rather painful on my back. Not a fan of waiting in line for hours on end either!

Yeah that's Gladiator Blizzard. They have to keep the people on the top when they let the people on the bottom off/on. I can't imagine sitting up there in the wind waiting for it to move again.

Whats the one with the huge single drop down at Thorpe Park? Detonator?

I'm not great with heights but can get by but went on that and we sat up there for nearly 2 full minutes before it dropped, I was starting to panic thinking it had broken then it just dropped without the countdown they do.

Think I will pass next time..

I think the thing with Rita is a) The initial acceleration and b) Your brain telling you there should be no possible way the rollercoaster can make that first turn.

You forgot the vertical drop bit. HOW!?!?! :o:
 
Will ride anything, done most of the roller coasters in America. The funniest photo is of me when I was about 12 on the terror of tower.
 
Yet to find one I won't go on. After going to a few parks in America thorp Park Seems very tame. Still enjoyable though! Tend to only go on tidle wave when it's sunny and I'll dry off in a reasonable amount of time. Always go on loggers leap though! Whatever the weather!
 
Crazy mouse and the booster on Brighton Pier are proper **** your pants scary. I have never been so ill after a ride. Ever!

Sorry Booster and Scream Extreme are the ones I'm thinking of. Scream Extreme is awful. You don't realise how high it is until you see it in person. And you are suspended over the sea!

I'll go on any. If it's hot and sunny, water rides are good too as it doesn't take long to dry!

I went to Alton Towers not too long ago and it rained like crazy with some massive hail thrown in at one point too. We was already soaked from that so thought it's a good idea to go on the log flume ride. Yep, even more soaked... That happened around 4-5pm and I was still damp around 8ish!
 
Stealth at Thorpe Park is by far the worst ride i've ever been on. It's the only ride come to think of it that I'd genuinely not really want to go on again.

The acceleration is intense, the climb horrific as it feels as though it's going to just shoot off the top, and the fall down the other side feels like it's going to snap off too!
 
naah stealth's great fun, especially when you manage to get on the last ride of the day and they send you round twice for good measure :D water rides are the only one I avoid, as others have said it's just uncomfortable walking round soaking wet for the rest of the day.
