Which Rides Do You Not Ride?
Post Posted: Tue 11th Nov 2008 18:45
If you only came to Alton Towers once a year and the queues were normalish, which rides would you not bother riding? (Obviously leave out all the ones for little children)

I think I'd leave out Ripsaw, because it actually terrifies me, I feel so unsafe in it! Ditto for the Ug Swingers.

Ripsaw - I don't think I could face those jets.

Ug Swinger - Boring, bit average, very common to find at even very small parks these days.

All the other flat rides really, Submission (although I would like to try it someday I can be bothered), Enterprise, Blade, Heave Ho, Marauders Mayhem, Beastie and Frog Hopper.

Battle Galleons - again, would really like to try this soon, but I don't think I can be bothered to get drenched...

The only attraction I purposefully avoid is Enterprise. Other than that, there's nothing I won't ride.

Submission and Enterprise, I totally avoid.

I usually skip the Blade, Marauder's Mayhem and Heave Ho too.

Ripsaw, Submission, Enterprise and Marauder's Mayhem make me feel really sick so I avoid them. Pretty much all the flats apart from UG Swinger which I love.

Most flats are pointless TBH. They only ever give you a cheap thrill and not much of an experience at all, you only have to visit Thorpe to know that.

Ripsaw - Never been on it, and never intend to.

Submission - Same as Ripsaw.

Enterprise - Same as above.

Blade - Makes me feel weird, so I just avoid it.

Marauders Mayhem - I detest tea cup rides due to a bad experience as a child.

Battle Galleons - If the weathers bad.

I dont tend to avoid any rides, as long as someone is up for going on.

Rides I dont like are flat rides though, fine with Rollercoasters, but a big fear of flat rides. Just dont look safe enough to me :)

Spinball in a weird way. Simply because I have my opportunist head on when I visit the themepark because it isn't something I do as often as a lot of others on here. There is never a good time to ride it. Rita or Air and Nemesis are nearly always done in the morning. The only good time to ride Spinball really is just before the queue closes, so I only ever go on it if the queue is weirdly short as I pass it or if I'm not elsewhere at queueshut. It isn't good enough for me to fret about really anyway!

I often miss out Enterprise, Submission and the Tea Cups (MM). Of the smaller rides I do try and go on Blade as I love Pirate Ships.

Oh and I have never, ever ridden the Ug Swinger.

---- Post Info Added ----

\/
I don't know why but I actually love wave swinger rides like the UgS but I have this irrational fear that I am too heavy for them (18st) and it is going to break and fling me off to my imminent death. I went on the wave swinger at PA last month and all the time I was just thinking of how I was going to try and land if I broke free. (The only ride I really have a fear of!)
