Sheepie Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 ^ Thanks for that. I won't tell you some of the other rides I've not been on then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I did try to get on it but it broke down half way through! Mind you it weren't so bad because we got fastracks for X:\no way out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_guy Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Rush is awesome it so fast and open,but going to back to rush being a world first, basically screaming swing at knotts which I have riden is the worlds first screaming swing but rush is the worlds first giant screaming swing meaning it has better capacity.

themeparklover91 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 can I just say that I hope this year Thorpe can get both swings of rush working, me and my friend love the ride, we both think it is fantastic but we both want both swings open to reduce queuing, it is a very long queue when it only has one swing going, it took us an hour and 15 minutes to queue!! please please please get rush working again!

Knight rider Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 A lil bit YAWN! There's one in America twice the size of this, but even that would fail to excite me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well actually, Rush opened in 2005 as the world biggest swing thing yknow and this is where I get annoyed. Cedar Point with all their massive 16 coasters with loads of recoreds get to greedy and want more. So just one year later they open a screaming swing there exactly the same as rush only a bit bigger and take the record away. Top class park cedar, very greedy though .

Mark9 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Why would it effect Thorpe, Cedar added theirs as a support ride to the 16 coasters. It's a small footprint and is an easy marketing gimmick.. many parks in Europe are doing the same, for instance Liseberg in Sweden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cringle Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Its not all about records though. Rush is just as fun (or not, depending on your opinion) now as it was when it had its 'record'. It wasn't much or a record anyway - just because it had a larger capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Never said it were about the records just saying that cedar are getting too greedy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Who cares? How about I make a challenge first person to get me on Rush wins a hug from me how about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebraman Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 The good thing about rush is your garanteed to be facing the floor every other swing. its not like that which vortex so you never know whether your going to be in for a good or bad ride.

Dan9 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Errm your not facing the ground on every swing your sometimes facing upwards. It goes "facing down, facing up, facing down, facing up" and so one until the ride ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
