Oh lol. Shame I never got to ride it in it's prime.
-
I was always told that Alton had 4 hour long ques for all the rides 90% of the time. But judging by your comments, it's not the case. I'll have to make a point to return to Alton so I can finally ride Nemesis. Thanks.

I have a pretty strange story about X. Nearly four years ago I was at the park with a friend of mine and we were making our way over to X. She told me that she had been on X once or twice before but had never noticed that there was actually a ride inside the pyramid. Apparantly every time that she had lined up for X in the past she never found the roller coaster and never even knew it existed. She thought That No Way Out was just walking through a dark corridor. I thought this was pretty funny as it means she either turned back both times (I think she said she had been on it twice) or she went out a fire exit or something. She wouldn't even believe me when I told her that there was a ride in the pyramid at first lol.Anyway, I like the ride but It's nothing special. However, I really enjoy the experience of the que line and the post-ride corridor. I like the ride too but I much prefere the dream-like, surreal atmosphere that you experience whilst in the building. I try to get on X every time I visit.

I went on this ride only once over four and a half years ago and loved it. I'd like to go back to Alton some day but the queing is horrifying apparantly.I really loved the tension that this ride built up for me. The drop was great as well. However, I prefere SAW as it lasts longer and is imo a better ride. I sadly didn't get the chance to ride Nemesis as we ran out of time and only got on six rides. But Oblivion was probably my favourite that I managed to ride.

I really loved it. Great launch. I just wish I could get up the courage to go on Stealth lol. I have this issue with launches. I'm ok going on almost any ride, but if it launches much faster than 60mph I chicken out.Oh well lol. Rita is a fantastic ride. Gave me a really good headrush. It also pulls some decent G's, so it's good.
-
Nice ride. I agree that it was far better at thorpe but oh well. Last time I went on this it was slightly too windy for comfort lol.
-
I adore log flumes. the first thrill ride I ever went on was a log flume and they remain one of my favourite things in the world:)I don't know why I like them so much, I just have such a blast on them. This is no exception. Great second drop and nice scenery.
-
LOVE the ride. A lot of people find it painful or uncomfortable but it remains one of my favourite rides at Chessie. Great airtime on the drops. Oddly, I find the ride relaxing.
-
Fun ride. I have a special place in my heart for this one as it was the first coaster I ever went on. I was terrified back then lol.It's hard to believe that it's the same track layout as Flying Fish. The reason why it's 100 times better than FF imo is becuase it's themed and very creative. It takes you through tunnels etc whereas Fish doesn't really do anything. Great ride!
-
I personally can't tell the difference between Quantom now and five years ago. I try to go on this every visit as 90% percent of the time I get a decent ride out of it. It sure doesn't look intimidating but it's alot more intense than it looks.
-
Can't wait to ride this again in a few weeks. I'm hoping for ques short enough for me to get on all the rides (accept Samurai and zodiac) lol
-
What is it about Slammer that scares people so much?
-
I love Detty. It was my first tower ride (other than TOT in Orlando). It's the only ride that no matter how many times I ride it, I still have butterflys in my stomach. Really amazing ride.
-
Thanks for the info. I'll ride it in a couple of weeks if the ques are reasonable.

The Best & Worst Things About THORPE PARK
Garry Williams replied to thorpeparkjunkie's question in Quick Questions
GOOD POINTSFantastic RidesDecent Theming On Most RidesSAW Good View Of The Park From The EntranceFriendly StaffGreat Food And Drink FacilitiesBAD POINTSIt can get very busy, but I don't think that's anyone's fault. -
This is one of the only rides in the park that I'm not too sure if I want to go on. I know that Samurai would make me sick but I'm not sure if this would or not. I'll probably give it a try as I have read some very positive reviews of this one.
-
I'm hoping to get back to Thorpe Wednesday 24th of March. Hopefully Saw will be operating as it is my favourite ride in the country (that I have been on).

Chessington General Discussion
Garry Williams replied to Ash's topic in Chessington World of Adventures
I've just found out that the only time I'm able to go would be during the half term. is there any particular day during the half term thats any quieter than the others?I'm really disapointed because I assume that everything has an hour queue during the half term:( -
