    Tell the truth not really my thing, our neighbor’s son wanted to go on it , the Q was rediculous and couldn’t get out once you started q’ing.

    First bit of the ride was awesome, then I just lost my bearings completely when came down on the vertical drop unbelievably quick 😮
    Definitely a ride to go on before you have eaten

    Me and Peter could have held each others hands Lynn 😀

    Not my thing either….I adopt the attitude to all things horror (From the Exorcist to Saw…haven’t seen any of them.) 😀

    given the chance I would jump on but always end up regretting when it gets too intense: Think I prefer to be in control, a steering wheel and a brake.

    Hi Martin

    cool have not been to thorpe for a few years, but i am a bit of a roller coaster junky 😀 .

    when i say a bit i mean i have a full size roller coaster car in my garden and have traveled half way round the world riding them (!) 😀

    The car in the garden is off the old cyclone southport, won it on ebay for £50, makes a great garden bench, and makes people stop dead in there tracks when they come in the garden 😮

    a man your size would have been pretty close to those blades eh martin?

    What about Esther and the kids, did they go on too?

    I’d have been sick for a week if I’d gone on it. My late father in law and my wife would have been in the q several times. Both were really into that stuff.

    Now the wife is a bit older and wiser, she’s less adventurous though. 😳 Just showed her the clip…. walked away saying…. ‘not on your life’ :lol1:

    I guess that means she’d not go on it then….

    .

    Nope they wouldn’t go anywhere near it and looking at the clip again I can’t believe I did 😀

    Went on one that went backwards in the dark at the end, very mild compaired to Saw ride and I felt as very sick was 5 away seconds from throwing up before it finished 😥 but this was at the end of the day when I had eaten..makes all the difference.

    Nice one Paul, a real rollercoaster car in the back yard! must be a talking point 🙂
