  • Sorry but I don't see how being quiet or 'boring' warrants someone to essentially pick on him though? I'm quite bland, silent, detached and unenthusiastic most of the time and noone has a go at me for

I have a lot of confessions.

  • I have never and have no intention of doing scare mazes or going to theme parks at Halloween. I'm not particularly good with jumpscares.
  • I didn't do any of the big rides when I was in America (three years ago) and I regret that massively.
  • The Smiler was my first inverting coaster. Never done a single inversion before then. And now I love inversions :D
  • Freefall drops really unsettle me. Never been on Thirteen because of that.
  • I find wave swingers traumatising.
  • I also find drop towers quite alarming. Hoping to get over that and go on Detonator in about two weeks.
  • May be the only one that thinks this, but I think Wodan is a pretty unoriginal name for a coaster. It's literally called wooden coaster.

You should give scare mazes a go - I was petrified when I did my first one but loved it (and I get pretty bad anxiety) - I find them to be a good laugh

Wow Smiler was your first inverting coaster?  Impressive!  Mine was Space Mountain at DLP although I remember feeling really chuffed when I finally did an upside down coaster.

Yup I'm with you on freefall drops - I'm not a fan of drop rides - did Detonator back in 2013 4 times and just cannot bring myself to do it again.  I would urge you to try Th13teen - its a brilliant rollercoaster - one of my faves at Towers and the drop isn't bad at all

Wave swingers I used to hate after going on Billys Whizzer (not Monkey Swinger) at Chessie and feeling ill for about 3 hours after - have since discovered motion sickness tablets which help - I do always thing "what if this swing I'm sat on just fell off"

Have you ever done a drop tower?  Detty is quite intense.  I'm fine on things like the drop ride at the Dungeons, or Magma at Paultons Park but for me Detonator is too much for my anxiety - definitely give it a go though - my niece finally went on Detonator the other week after being petrified of it (not helped by me saying I won't ever ride it again) - I thought she'd hate it but she ended up going on it 5 times that day

Its kinda boring though, there loads of pointless turns..

The last drop was what got me, I have an amazing photo lol.

 

Confession: I got the Wall-E game for my sixth birthday. We had to take it back because it terrified me to the point I didn't sleep. Why?

 

 

WELL THIS IS WHY
