Went over the weekend, decided against going on the Smiler.

I went to peppa pig land the other week.

 

Plucked up enough courage to go on the air balloon Ferris wheel

did you stand up, you know you may die if you do that? :)

I'll be on it next time i visit

What do you think I am? Insane?

 

I'd already spent 35 minutes queuing for the fucker in a blind panic like I was about to walk the plank into shark infested waters :)

 

...whilst I'm on peppa pig land, how come there was loads of Rayguns there? Slightly hypocritical imo

I drew the line when they started washing their feet in the log flume

Better than the nemesis? Some ride if it is.

My lad did them all as a ten year old. Said smiler was best, but oblivion (?) was close.

I think Oblivion is really good. Smiler looks like it would be good but no fucker would go on with me which basically means they didn'the want to hang around waiting for me either. To be honest I wasn't too fussed. Nemesis was voted the 9th best coaster in the world last year, that's my fave.

Oblivion is ace but I actually like Rita bestest.

Well you wouldn't get me on any of em for love nor money. I was just a coat holder whilst the mad buggers indulged themselves on adrenalin.

Nah nemesis is still the better ride.

But Smiler is lots of fun.

Don't ride it twice in a row before the drive home.  :bad:

Thats what I think will happen before every ride I've ever got on

I can't make out what happened, did it hit something or just come off?

Weird- it looks like it just lowers too far. Either that or something snaps as it starts to swing.

Just been Alton Towers a couple of weeks ago on a Monday - no queues which makes a difference.

 

Why people don't go on single rider I'll never know.

 

Had a good day, gorgeous weather and a night out in Ashbourne - lovely little place.....

 

If you worry about things going wrong, you'd never do anything in life.
