Which Rides Do You Not Ride? |
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.

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  Ian

| 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!)
