Rides You Just Can't Be Bothered With?

Top Spins. I am so completely over top spins. They're everywhere over here. I'll ride the floorless one at Everland, but otherwise I rarely bother with them.

Top Spins are awesome. However, what kind of cycles do the ones over there have? I've been on two of them, and I've seen four different ones operate, and some have absoloutely crappy cycles, making them poor rides (like the one at Great Adventure which takes eight years to load and does nothing), and some have incredible cycles. The one at Geauga Lake was probably the best one I've seen and been on.

However, I suppose if you go on them they might get boring, but I dunno, doing eight flips a cycle and six in a row, well, it makes me pretty dizzy.
 
^The cycles vary, but I'm just tired of them now. The first few times I tried them, I liked them well enough, but they really are in so many parks here that I'm sick of the sight of them.
 
Oddly, ride type is irrelevant. It's where it is.

Blade at Alton Towers is a pile of poo. I haven't been on it in like... 7 years or something. But the Black Buccaneer at Chessington is awesome and I go on it considerably often.

I'm not sure the answer lies in, there's more to do at Alton... Because I'm not sure there really is. I think it's more a case of because Chessington is 'down the road' whilst Alton is a fair distance away, I'd rather not 'waste my time' at Alton. Also, the CF-Lives at the Towers involve so much faffing there simply isn't time to bother with the 'smaller' rides.
 
If it wasn't for the fact they count as credits, Zamperla Spinning Mice are one of my pet hates.

The only exception is Kennywood's one. That's really good.

I couldn't agree any more! Apart from the credit bit, not that important to me anymore.

So yeah, spinning mice and all flat rides aprt from drop towers and screaming swings.
 
I can't really be bothered with Stealth any more. It's an alright ride but I just have no desire to ride it anymore.
 
^Same here but my little brother inists that we go on it every time we go to Thorpe.
What is it with Chav's always wanting to do Stealth? :?
 
^Because they have no understanding of what makes the top coasters the best. They are just taken in by the gimmick.

Really poor attempt to troll? :?

Anyways, I really don't care for pirate ship rides, Dumbo rides, or buzzsaws. They're pretty boring. I usually stay away from Boomerang coasters, SLCs, and corkscrews, as well.
 
I go on as many rides as I can but I usually avoid all the kiddy rides and any Magic Carpets and Double Inverters. Usually I don't do a ride as I never have time or because I've been on it before and hate it or don't care about it.

Boreclones however are fab and not to missed! :D

I want to know why you find it a waste of time. It's your opinion but I want to hear your reason.

Maybe a silly question, but what actually is a boreclone?


I try to get on every ride I can that I think will thrill me or make me feel excited. If I don't think it will particularly thrill me, I'll stay clear from it and go on something else that will thrill me.

Enterprises.
 
Lol, triple hivemind.

Anyways, I actually see enterprises as one of the most boring cloned rides you could spend time riding. Right up there with pirate ships. Although to be fair, if the theming on a ride stands out enough from its clones, it's worth a ride. Hence why Disney is so successful. Without the theming it would just be a wild mouse, a log flume, a mine train coaster, and a crappy haunted house.
 
The rides that throw you from side to side, I am so done with those. Anthing that seems to have the purpose of making you sick. I did all of these at the fair. I lost my lunch in the bushes, that is as much "fun" as I have.
