So John Davis' Funpark came to my home town, so I went down this evening from 5pm - 9pm. Thought I'd post a little report as I had a great time. There was a Wave Swinger advertised but that wasn't there for some reason Ridecount: 2 x 'Bumper Car' Dodgem - John Davis. 1 x Twist - John Davis. 2 x 'X Flight' Freakout - John Davis. 2 x 'Supreme' Waltzer - Paul Nichols. 4 x 'Turbo' Meteorite - Jimmy Aldridge. 2 x 'Demon Chaser' Ghost Train - Jimmy Aldridge. 5 x 'Rock Rage' Inversion - Graham Sedgwick. 6 x Rotor - Graham Sedgwick. 3 x Superspin - Graham Sedgwick. 1 x 'Jungle Fever' Fun House - Alan Heal. TOTAL: 28 - For £8, that's amazing value. Rock rage - My first time going on rock rage, and after hearing good things about it, I wasn't disappointed Defiantly my favourite fairground ride, and is one of my favourite flats. It was just a shame the seats weren't spinning as much as I have seen in some videos, but I've heard they don't tend to at the funparks for some reason. On the last ride of the day we asked if she could make it spin more, the ride just went on for ages but it still didn't seem to spin more. Earlier on one of the rides we had some great hangtime too, as it was windy So yeah it was a great ride, but I'd love a go on it with the seats spinning loads. Rotor - First time riding a rotor, and it was really good! Didn't expect to find it as fun as I did. After a few times managed to go sidewards on the wall as well, and one of the rides went of for ages so I couldn't walk after aha. Superspin - Again it was my first times riding this, and again it was really good Love it when the seats spin backwards. Probably the most intense ride there. Noticed this was put on sale on the 2nd of July. Unsure why, but it's a shame, it's a great ride. X - Flight - Again it was my first time on a Freak out, I enjoyed it but it wasn't amazing. Think because I rode rock rage before it I didn't find it that great. Comparing it to vortex, it span a lot faster and got higher a lot quicker, but I seem to enjoy Vortex more. Strange. Turbo - First time again, and was a lot of fun. Was like the Rotor but was more comfy as it had padding, and the arm lifted up similar to an Enterprise so you go Vertical. I did however prefer the Rotor as it seemed more forceful, and it was more fun being able to be free to do what you want on the wall
