The seats casually missing restraints </3.



They're the only two I'd actually refuse to ride again, even for money.

There are loads I wouldn't BOTHER with if I went back to the park... loads of SLCs and Vortex at CGA to name a few. But, I'd do them if I had to (like, If I went back with someone who needed the creds).

Mine would be Desperado. For my friends who dont have the cred I tell them to just skip it as it isnt necessary in their life to get that one, lone desert cred. It is plain awful ans hurt me in places I never knew existed in regards to my spinal column.

What is this awful contraption? It takes the words death trap to their literal meanings.

I think SLCs would be fine if there weren't so many of them, same with boomerangs. I don't think they are that bad, or didn't, when I'd only been on one of them. I think that's the same issue I have with the C&P kiddy creds that are all over the place.

At least say, Batman clones, are good rides... The problem is though that even those are FAR better than they are given credit for, simply due to them being numerous. It's like every ride drops down a gear if you go on more than one clone of it.

This is why I feel bad for Brazil and it's soon to be 3 Colossus variants...

^See, I really didn't find Goudurix that bad. It wasn't great, but I remember thinking that Zeus was more uncomfortable. Having said that, Zeus was more fun, so I didn't mind it being a bit unpleasant, but Goudurix really didn't kill me like I was expecting.

Maybe I don't remember that well or maybe I'm remembering it with rose-tinted spectacles. :p

^I secretly kind of love Goudurix. There are far, far worse loopers out there and at least it's original.

Goudrix has a few awful snaps in the track like it wasn't designed properly but I don't find it too much of a problem. I don't really get the awful rep it has either. Not saying it's good but I'd rather ride that than a LOT of other rides out there.

Yeah, I dont think Goudurix is that bad either. The entrance to the BatWing is awful, (its painful enough watching) and that strange element at the start is just wrong, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

With the new Vekoma trains, it could be a top coaster.

^ Seriously? It's the worst coaster I have ever been on. I agree, with the new trains, it would be great! But at the moment I find it awful.

oh god I forgot about that :oops: I personaly find X:\ No Way Out a waste of space. It is uncomfortable, undramatic and generaly disappointing. I have never liked backwards coasters anyways.

compared to this pile of XXXX the flying fish is the equivilent of Colossus

^I love that ride! It feels so unsafe, and that is what makes it fun! Have you or Steel been on it recently. They added scenery and music!

Scenery and music don't make it any better, really, the coaster is still complete turd.

If they had spent £2,000,000 on scenery, effects and sound I'd consider going on it again. £25 at Firebox just isn't going to offer the same results ;)

^But it's not that bad a coaster! It could never be that thrilling because it is backwards. And it is indoors. Sure I hate the breaks, but for a first time rider, those block breaks add a thrill. Especially when it keeps going backwards and forwards.

I first rode it in 1997*. I'd had a coaster drought of about 2 years (and only been to two parks since 1992). I thought it was a complete turd back then. Zero thrill. It had all kinds of effects and music and stuff and it was complete bollocks. My opinion of it hasn't improved over the years. I don't know anyone that has come off it saying they found it thrilling.



*We did a sponsored coasterthon for Tommy's campaign. I think we had to ride 21 rides in a day. We could have spent the time on X:\NWO (it was the new ride then), but everyone in the group found it so piss-poor we made our ride count up on Flying Fish. This is a group of non-enthusiasts. X:\NWO - disappointing everyone for 16 years :p
