What rides did people not get to ride this year but want to ride next year?

For me, Saw at thorpe i wanted to ride this year but pulled some muscles putting my hands up on nemesis inferno so couldn't ride(stupid me!) :lol:
and stealth I still have not ridden as it scares me and when i finally pluck up the courage to do it, its shut when I go. :evil:
 
I was planning on making local trips to Universal Studios Hollywood and Legoland California (both parks I have never been to) but never got around to it this year. I definitely plan on hitting those in 2010 (they're also my last credits to get in Southern California :().
 
I was hoping to go to Adventure Island and/or Flamingoland this year but never got the chance to as it was quite unlikely in the first place. However, I should get to at least one if not both of them next year.
 
Really wanted to get to SFMM to get on X2, Viper and Termintor Salvation (the only three coasters I haven't done there) but, since we were only there for a week, and we had all the Halloween shizz, we didn't get round to going there. So that'll have to wait 'till 2012, the next time we're going to LA I reckon. I was kind of expecting not to get on those though, because of the busy schedule we had.

We actually got our arses to Lightwater Valley for the first time this year, which was amazing, but we delayed Oakwood yet again because we had to choose between that and a trip to Thorpe/Legoland/CWoA and London, and the fact that Saw was new pushed it that way even more. I'd love to get to Oakwood but it's just so far away. I'd also like to get to Southend, and possibly Paultons on the way, but they're quite abstract at the minute.

So maybe next year..
 
H:RRR and Manta are the only rides I missed that I'll be on next year.. in January.

Other than that, everything will be unplanned from previous years and brand new to me.. or I've already been there. :)
 
Mumbo Jumbo! I just didn't have time really...

Oh, and Gullivers Matlock, and maybe IoW... they're the only creds left in the UK really!

It's ****E. Believe me! I found it absolutely completely lacklustre. At every moment I was expecting killer airtime, there was none. The big huge turn around that you would expect to be intense was also a massive let down. The only redeeming features are the bunny hops at the end and the funky Stengel Dive.

Perhaps what I should say is that it was a dissapointment for me as apose to being ****e. I was expecting sooooooo much more and felt massively short-changed!

Ditto that!

For me, i'll push the boat right out and say Saw and the two big ones at Fantasy Island. I'm not expecting loads from any of them, but they're all rides I planned to ride this year and failed to, but i'd like to think i'd get them done next year.

I wasn't expecting as much as you apparently, as I thought it was da Bomb! Great drop, loads of airtime & that lovely ending - zoomed right up into my Top 10!

Snoo Snoo & I missed Prowler (surprised he didn't mention that), so even though I didn't get to ride it's opening year you better believe I'll be hitting up Worlds Of Fun in 2010.

That's something I would have liked to do last year too.

I didn't really go to any parks and miss out on anything though to be honest. I'll get to ride most American coasters on the east coast that I want to ride this year though, woo!
 
I did everything I planned to do, except get to FI/PI. I was going to do that the day before the Flamingoland live, but a certain someone coming with me wouldn't skip sixth form so we missed it. :p

Oh well, will do it in 2010.

Other than that, i've not missed any major coasters, just a few kiddie ones here and there, mainly due to age/height restrictions.

I didn't expect us to head that way this summer, but I'm more than down to roll over there!

Add Prowler to my list. ;)
