Kraken was rubbish compared to The Incredible Hulk at Islands of Adventure which is nearby. Still good though.

And despite being a bit of a theme park fanatic, I don't care what anyone says, you are hard pressed to beat the front seats of Nemesis at alton towers. Nothing comes close in the UK!

Top Thrill Dragster in Ohio, absolutely mental. Gets up to something like 120mph and 500ft in the air. Pure adrenaline!

In the UK though, another vote here for Nemesis.

God, now threres a tough question, there are so many good ones for different reasons.

I like kraken the same as the OP but the hulk in universal the the one I just couldnt get enough of! In a different league though is SheiKra at Busch gardens, superb for a vertical coaster!

I 'ate rollercoasters

They make my tummy feel all wishy washy

Those swinging pirate ships are enough for me

Oblivion (the one where you go downwards) and Nemesis at Alton Towers was really good. As was Rita (the really really fast one) at Thorpe Park.
Air was very crap. No wonder the lines were empty.

I like Nemesis, but unless you sit at the front, you get to miss loads. I liked Oblivion and Air from Alton towers, but my favourite ride has to be the Big Shot in Las Vegas

Back everytime on Nemesis fella. That's where the G's be at.

Still the best ride at Alton Towers.

Kraken (Sea World)
Incredible Hulk (Islands of Adventure)
Air (Alton Towers)

Forgot about that one, was good

Had to queue for ages for that and it was boiling hot, it was horrible

subxero · 20 Feb 2007 at 20:13

Montu was by a mile the best coaster i've ever been on, so many twists, turns, loops etc...

4T5 · 20 Feb 2007 at 20:14

The new ones are great but you just cannot beat the old woody on Gt Yarmouth front. The whole thing feels like it will fall to bits at any mo and going under the bridge thing you think your head will be cut off no matter how many times you go under it.

I bet someone will post that it's been torn down now.

which one was the big water ride with a bridge at the end of it ?? i remember standing there wondering why the floor was soaking... turned around and saw a tidal wave

subxero · 20 Feb 2007 at 20:18

Congo river rapids

Fantastic, I remember standing on that very bridge
