Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!haha! I guess I knew that Oblivion was only short, and it was the first ride we went on that day... I have to say when I first got on i was thinking "Am I seriously doing this?" but it's an amazing ride!(Original post by cheekymon999)
you braved oblivion but not nemesis? wow :L honestly oblivion is so much scarier! nemesis is very very smooth
you dont really notice going upside down at all! and its a great ride
I always went to AT and was really excited to go to Forbidden Valley, then I saw the rivers of blood... lol I was terrified! and saw people being scared, or something... I was only little!
I like the smoothness of the B&M rides and the sound they make going round the track!
Where's the best place to sit if you go on Nemmy? -
Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!as far back as you can get! if you sit at the front it goes slower and at the back is faster but wherever and its awsome.(Original post by Nesselphie)

Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!whenever it comes to turns on rollorcoasters i always press my head really hard against one side, just to stop it banging around because ive lost many earings and gained many headaches from doing this :L(Original post by Nesselphie)

Also if you dont want a headache from banging your head - i dont recommend rita :L that is not pleasant and its a pretty boring ride :L -
Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!That video is such a laugh. Fernando temporarily turns into Jeremy Clarkson on the launch.(Original post by Marc Fiorano)
Formula Rossa ride in Ferrari World (Abu Dhabi)
Officially the fastest rollercoaster in the world, it's supposed to emulate the sensations of a F1 car.
This is what happened when Ferrari's current formula 1 drivers went on the ride
I've been on it, it was too much for me I don't think I'll go again.
My dad and brother recently had a trip to the Emirates and I dared my brother to try this if he got the chance to go. They stayed in Dubai rather than Abu Dhabi and never went. If I ever went I'd be telling myself 'I will do it' and then would pull out at the last minute... Gahahaa... -

I'll try it when i go soon!
I think the reason I wasn't *as* scared on Oblivion is because i'm not too bad with heights, even then it's still scary! but so much fun! 
I think we'll only go on Rita if the queues aren't horrendous, same with Pinball Whizzer, although I do kinda want to go on that one!

The front and back seem to feel faster. The front is best if you want the thrill of seeing where you are going, and the air on your face.
If you think you will be scared, or want to ease yourself in, I suggest going in the middle on the right hand side where the big swoops are on your inside

Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!Especially at the back I find this to be true. My first ride on the Manta coaster at SeaWorld took me to the back on the train and I honestly felt it on the ride's diving loop, so much so that it literally took my breath out of my lungs.(Original post by The Patriot)

I LOVE THAT RIDE SO MUCHHHHH!
That was going to bemy second favourite ride:L -
Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!
Freakout - A pendulum ride. First time I went on it, I thrown up everywhere..It was pretty scary!!
My friends persuaded me to do it again a few months later, so I did, and it was great the second time. But it still haunts me, it haunts me deep
Here's the wonderful video -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc-ujFECObk -
Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!I found that a tad scary - but purely cuz im scared of heights(Original post by Phenylethylamine_)
I <3 SAW at Thorpe Park, literally just find it FUN, not scary in the slightest!
going up was the worst bit because you know whats coming on the other side :L
good ride tho!
have you been in the saw maze at thorpe park? i wanted to but i couldnt persuade my family so i wondered what its like

Re: Favourite/Scariest theme park rides!
My favourite ride is probably Air at Alton Towers. It used to be Nemesis, but I've been twice recently, and both times preferred Air. It's just so different. As for scare factor, I never normally get scared of rides, but Oblivion always gets me, because of the bit that it waits at the top. Great ride!
I want to go to Thorpe Park SO much. Flamingo Land has more hardcore rides than I expected as well, so I may have to go there at some point. I've been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach many times, which is good too. -

Haha, I lurrrve all of it :P I've been on it so many times, we go to Thorpe Park every year, usually twice in the summer holidays because it's our local theme park, live about 30 mins from it :P I've been so many times, I guess I'm just immune to the "rush" and feeling of fear.
Yesss, ahh, I've been like 5 times!! I'm not even scared anymore, it's quite amazing from inside, there are about 7 rooms, each room, a set from each film, in chronological order. The first room you enter is a bathroom, like SAW I.
But, yes, the actors do get all touchy feely in there
which I think is the most scary part, you just don't want to be touched in there. You should go..it's a good experience
Haha

at alton towers- not particulary scared (did a survey with durham uni last monday and my heart reat DECREASED after going on oblivion )
