What's new

Rides you rode in the opening season?

Donkey in a hat
Oooh I haven't done this topic before. Lemme think...

Old B***ard alert - Every Alton Towers coaster since the mid 1980's. Runaway Train, Alton Mouse, Alton Beast, ThunderLooper, 4 Man Bob... Oh yeah, I got 'em all :)

All 5 of Thorpe Parks biggies.

Biggun, Blackpool.

Dragon's Fury, Chessie.

G-Force, Drayton Manor.

Jubilee Odyssey, I think?

Struggling now...

Ooh ooh, here's a good one, Leviathan. Oh yeah, got that bad boy within 10 days of it opening. I was a LEGEND on the TowersTimes forum that week!

Then this year I've got the Paulton's duo and Wildfire.
Think that's my lot.
Damn, it started so well...
