In praise of theme parks...

[GrumpyGregry]

Specifically Tivoli in Copenhagen.

Specifically Vertigo.

First they tumble you around like clothes in a drier.

Then they leave you hanging upside down and then facing the ground 10's of metres above mother earth.

Then they make you pull several G whilst doing 100kph.

Bluddy brilliant.

So what is your fave theme park and fave ride therein....?

My body does not take kindly to being violently up ended and thrown about like a rag doll. I remember going on the Waltzer at a fair and walking round with my head spinning for about an hour afterwards. That's when I decided fighter pilot was a job to cross off my list.

Wouldn't call the Tivoli's ride my favorite, it's no sports car, but the handling isn't that bad.

I remember walking up Abington Street, in Northampton, during the St Crispin Fair a few years ago with the kids.
We were a couple of paces behind some people when they were splattered with vomit from the folk 'enjoying' the spinning, tumbling, vibrating ride 50' above.

Happy days... lol

We bought merlin passes last year, and went theme park crazy for a whole year.
I like roller coasters, the faster and higher the better.
but i can no longer stomach the riders that go round and round in one place. We went to Southend a few weeks ago and i was nearly sick on the claw ride, i felt terrible for 2 hours.

That's a fun one. Nemesis still has to be the one I come off most disorientated, but Rock n roller coaster has to be up there with the best. Stupid fast.

Had enough of them now after 2012 to 2013 riding too many for me.
