October 31, 201410 yr comment_196359 To be honest, I don't mind if I got stuck on a roller coaster, the experience is somewhat unique and I just relax in my seat (if it is a comfy seat)
October 31, 201410 yr comment_196365 ^ Trust me, it's scary when you've drank a bottle of water in the queue beforehand.
October 31, 201410 yr comment_196382 It's also scary when you friend picks up a plactic bag on the floor of the car and throws it in front of the wheels. We thought it might jam them and get stuck AGAIN.

November 1, 201410 yr comment_196528 But they never come round with the teas! This is a lie. In 2012 when I worked on SAW and it shutdown with a car just vertical on the bottom of the lift and another by the TVs. I was stood talking to guests on the cars when a girl by the TVs very bluntly moaned after about five minutes that she felt obliged to get a free cup of tea, so the engineer walked off and made her one. #JustSaying
November 1, 201410 yr comment_196529 Never been stuck on a coaster for more then 5 minutes or so, so have never been evaced. You're right, it is lovely to take in the views and relax, but I can imagine for people in slightly stickier situations, possibly being a carer or someone with special needs, or is just in general scared of rollercoasters, that it can be stressful.
November 1, 201410 yr comment_196530 I got stuck on Saw in the station just before offload for about 10 minutes but even then I was starting to panic, different people respond differently down to a variety of reasons. Anywho, does anyone know why they were filming in and around The Swarm island in July?

November 2, 201410 yr comment_196550 Got stuck at the very top of Tidal Wave once a few years ago. That was fun Watching the ride attendants have to climb all the way to the top of the ride had us in stitches and they could barely tell us what was going on because they were so out of breath! We weren't up there for more than 10 minutes though and everyone was fairly calm and in a good mood
November 2, 201410 yr comment_196595 I think Sod's Law rules that the majority of people who get stuck on coasters are the ones that never really wanted to get on in the first place.
December 19, 20168 yr comment_246080 Just seen the trailer for this year's Charlie Brooker Wipe program (on the 29th - don't miss it!) is filmed in front of stealth. Exciting. Doubt it's got anything to do with the program though.
