That's bloody good actually.

yeah, especially as Alton Towers is only 20 mins away from where i live. The card also gives us free carparking (usually £4) and 20% off food. Fucking great innit!! My girlfriend and me went on tuesday for 4 hours, just because we could

I don't like theme parks anymore, I prefer getting lifts home from gigs off drink drivers, the fear is much more spontaneous & realistic.

I'm just a wuss when it comes to things like epic rollercosters. I don't mind log flumes and stuff, but come on...

It's why I would never ever do a bungie jump or skydive as well!

You total fucking girl!

haha, please save me from this piece of machinery that runs constantly and is stress tested daily!

That's not really the point, I just don't really want to be hurled round and upside down really fast, and it doesn't seem worth the queueing.

I love rollercoasters. When me and my friend stayed at Disneyland at the end of our month of Europe travelling fun for a couple of days, we sat on Space Mountain for about 4 or 5 times in a row at the end of the night when no one else was there. It was amazing. I also love taking off in a plane, the bit where it suddenly accelerates, RrrRRARAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!11

Terrible reasoning, you are kicked out of the debate society.

...and you're a girl.

Rollercoasters are brilliant. Spinny things are shit though - make me feel ill AND they've got NO DIRECTION.

Strangely I do like that; I think it's just the amazing power and technological feat of it. I just don't like the general experience of being thrown around madly on a rollercoaster.

And I'm a wuss of course.

Fuck that.

I always make sure that I'm listening to something excellent when the plane takes off so that, when the people surveying the wreckage for my charred remains miraculously pry a fully-functional iPod from my hand, people can learn that I died listening to Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks era, of course) and come to the conclusion that I was a class act all-round and put something to that effect on my headstone.

Hmm, a plane crash may circumvent the cost of cremation...

if im honest, i had visited Alton Towers often, and while the rollercoasters never bother me, i didnt like the look of eithe obliveon, or ripsaw, so i had always shied away from them. Now im going out with a teenager who goes on every ride there, to save face i had to as well. My ring was twitching like a rabbits nose as obliveon stopped before the fall, but i been on it a few times now and its not relly as bad as i expected it to be initially. Its rather quite fun actually Ripsaw is fun as well, however this certainly would scare me shitless as i dont like heights :
