Top Gear returns this weekend :D

I am back from Thorpe Park and I was soooo annoyed, Stealth was closed!!!! :veryangry:

ohhhh, so what else did you do?

that's just a nice reason to post in that "The Last Time You Got Disappointed" thread :dozey:

Hello Everyone!!

 

Oh kara, shame that it was closed it looks very cool!!(and scary) :lol:

Ohhh why was it close Kara ? :(

Oh Kara, why was it closed? Do you get your money back? :(

I dont know why it was closed...it was only that particular one...I think there was maybe a fault on it? I was annoyed...but I got another ticket to go back another time (at a cheaper price of £10 ) I was soooo looking forward to it! :( Oh well....went on some other cool rides!

 

this: This was a fave of the day! Amazing ride!

When I go back I can hopefully go on it! I will phone ahead to check when I go again in a month or two.

oh gosh, Kara, you're crazy! :o

 

I'd probably die of excitement on every of these rides :embarassed:

I wanna do the first and second one ! :D They seem AMAZING !

Nice.

 

I have never been to alton towers :(

well, i've been on some kinda thing like the one in the last pic ...

i hope you weren't sick afterwards :nice:

Hehe, Kara I like all the things you posted especially the "slammer"... :nice:

 

Near Bremen, there is a theme park called "Heidepark Soltau" and there are similar things like the ones on your picture. :)

It was Thorpe Park!

 

Yeah the first one was awesome Ophelie.....it was like diving out of the sky when it goes towards the ground!!

Yeah.....I went on some of those feeling pretty damn scared....but Im not afraid of rides really..

 

Soon.......I will go back in a few months and do this one!!

That one is very scary ! :stunned:

Its pretty crazy isnt it!! I was gonna go on that one today....but it was closed. :(

 

Yeah Grace....I was most afraid of the last one ....it spun and I had my lunch quite close before....lol.....luckily I wasnt sick haha...although I was worried I might!

 

What other rides/theme parks have you all been to? :)

I got vertigo just from looking at that third pic you posted kara! :lol:

Whoa that ride looks huge:shocked2: in that pic

I've been to a place called Tivoli World in Spain, that was great ! :nice:

And many Aqua Parks too... That's all :lol:

What an amazing roller coaster! :stunned: :shocked2:

I once (many, many years ago) rode with a rollercoaster at a local theme park which has just one looping - but as we passed the looping it kinda smacked my backbone and I wasn't able to walk properly for weeks :sick: Since then I'm kinda scared about rollercoasters with loopings.

 

Some months ago my workmates convinced me to ride with it one more time - So I did it and fortunately my back resisted the physical stress in the looping that time - but for a reason I still avoid those kind of rollercoasters :embarassed:

I once been to disneyland paris in year 7 (1999), but that's about it for me :(
