MrsJohnMurphy Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 I'm taking the kids on Saturday ( taking advantage of City playing Friday night ). Just wondering if anyone has any tips on the best rides etc. Whats worth queueing for and what shouldn't i bother with. Its been 20 years since i last went and i imagine things have changed quite a bit.

Bit of a queue, but good for the family.
Bert Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 If you love adrenaline rushes, Oblivion is the king, closely followed by Rita "Queen of Speed". Air is top as well.

Its been 20 years since i last went and i imagine things have changed quite a bit. My favourite ride is old school - Nemisis. Gotta love it, Oblivions good too. Air is alright and Rita is alright. Hex still confuses the **** out of me and I have been on it like 3 times.
Tilley Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Oblivion. End of. Went last week. I know they are building a new ride next to Rita where Corksrew used to be, but they desperately need new rides!
Samilktray Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Fuck rides. I shit a brick watching people on the spinning teapcup things.
Raj Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 If you love adrenaline rushes, Oblivion is the king, closely followed by Rita "Queen of Speed".Air is top as well. I nearly shit myself on Rita!! BITCH!!! Air is a "Nice" coaster. The Black hole was good,but it aint there now is it? Gen Smuts likes black holes (ALLEGEDLY!) Oh and the one that goes straight down is a c.unt,especially when it hangs at the top...ims ure i shitted mysef on that too!!! Oblivion...like what Bert said!!^^ Mind you if your kids are young,they might not appreciate them ones!!! Mine wouldnt...shes only 7 months old!!!
Bert Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 I think someone died on the black hole. Not too sure though.
Tilley Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 I think someone died on the black hole.Not too sure though. Got sold to a German theme park, mate. (I think)
Samilktray Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 The Black Hole was a right arse. I went on expecting it to be a lazer quest style thing.

Its been 20 years since i last went and i imagine things have changed quite a bit. Before you join the queue check out the height retrictions if you are taking kids. Air is good. Doesn't make you you taste lunch again. The cable car thingy is good to get around. Hex makes you feel sick. The corkscrew has gone (When they took it down they found so many phones, coins, watches etc but they also found a faulse leg. Why did no one notice some poor bloke hopping off the ride!) But it all depends on how old they are as to what rides are good. Black Hole has gone What is good is the water park in the hotel. Kids love it. But whatever you do, don't stay there.

J.Lisemore Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 Oblivion. End of.Went last week. I know they are building a new ride next to Rita where Corksrew used to be, but they desperately need new rides! I didn't even know that was gone until now Had to be taken down though it had been there for ages. Any idea of what the new ride is going to be like?
lcfc_jme Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 Oblivion is average, kinda gay. Rita and Air are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Corkscfrwe is also qualiteh. Yes please
Guest Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 Nothing will beat Nemesis. It's worth queuing longer for the front row. Air is nice. Rita is good fun. Oblivion is Hex is
JoeyB Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 Am going week 2mora with college. Also at work i got buy one get one free entry things.
filbertway Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 Go on the new Pirate thing :w00t: That is an unhealthy obsession. Try the penalty shoot out thing (which I clearly won )
Alexikokopops Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 Nothing will beat Nemesis. It's worth queuing longer for the front row. Air is nice. Rita is good fun. Oblivion is Hex is This. Saw at Thorpe Park is better than Oblivion.
Fosse Boy Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 Air always breaks down whenever I'm there. It pales in comparison to Nemesis anyway.
Webbo Posted 22 April 2009 Posted 22 April 2009 I haven't been for over 15 years but I was told to get there early, go to the far end of the park and work your way back to the front to avoid queues.
