Dan_Rush Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've been on too many, hmmm.UK- Toom Blaster, X no way out, or Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, It's the only ride of it's kind that I know in the world.As for abroad, again, too many to even start to mention. I love Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom, E.T at Universal Orlando, Spider Man also at Universal, Ocean odeseys in Spain,I think that's it.I'd say Posidon's fury, But that's a show, and as well as Legend of the Lion King and the Time keeper, they were the best ever, even though they were shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeis Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Definetly, definetly 100% Duel. I love that ride so much that if it wasnt for Nemesis, I'd just ride it in a loop all day long. Also, Valhalla at Blackpool is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomathy Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Valhalla at Blackpool pleasure beach is quite good, its a good 5 mins long and is basically a indoor log flume with a hell of a lot of Viking theming and fire effects. it has 3 good drops, one of which is backwards and once upon a time went through a wall of fire! I haven't really been on anything else that compares to it except for Phantom manor at Disney Paris. But phantom manor is more of an experience I.e the stretching room and the hall of portraits that change from nasty to nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Either Horror Hotel at Brighton Pier or if we are talking around the world as well then it would have to be Hinzen's Haunted Mansion. It's a funfair ghost train but it's a german one and it is really really good. Has some decent scares. I think a ride like it (a gosetto suspended ghost train) would work perfectly at thorpe park to replace saw alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. There's fire effects everywhere, (archways of fire that you go through, big explosions, fire on the track that you put out), huge special effects and it's themed up to the eyeball. It's not at it's absolute best at the moment but it's still a very good dark ride. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'd have to say Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland in both Paris and California - both different but the same if that makes sense. In the UK I think I'd have to say Valhalla is good, but its black curtains and a few SFX, so I'd have to swing more towards Hex I think.

Kerfuffle Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hex, Nemesis Sub-Terra and Tomb Blaster for me, although I absolutely love the ones with decent facades (Duel and Tomb Blaster for instance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnaird Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Valhalla or hex both very good rides!but hex has very good story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Out of the dark rides I've done, my favourite has to be - just about - Nemesis Sub Terra. I enjoy the over-the-top scary mood it creates; I can see why people would find it scary, but I find it more like one of those B-flick horror films which you more laugh at than scream over. In general, that's just something I really like. However, in saying that, I do think that Hex is a better dark ride, offering a more complete package and just ticks the boxes a bit better. I also enjoy it very much, but just not as much as NST! kinnaird and Cornflakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnaird Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 nemesis sub terra is also a very good dark ride forgot about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
