Theme Parks/Rides - Munsta - 10-05-2009 03:53 PM

So the carnival is here, and i'm going tomorrow. I can't wait.

So what I thought we could do is...have a thread about theme parks and thrill rides.

Post pictures and videos of your favourite rides, or parks, or maybe the ones you would like to go on!

Here's one I think would be fun!

Woo, that looks like a cool ride Mike.
I have been to three theme parks in my life (like where i was at age to ride things like that).
First one; Carowinds.
Here are the best rides from it.

Then I went to Hollywood Studios at Disney and rode two cool rides
(It's pitch dark when you ride it, i just wanted to show you the lights on version so you could see the track)

Most of you probably already rode these, but I thought it'd be cool for those out of the US.

WOW! They all look awesome. I am sooo going to the US when I'm older.

XD I couldn't record on a ride...I'd end up dropping the camera.

LOL Mike x]
Let's just hope you don't scream like a girl.
Eh. I rarely go on rollercoasters. I went to the Mummy one down in Florida...I swear I thought I was dead.

Re: Theme Parks/Rides - Cassie - 10-05-2009 06:09 PM

I love massive roller coasters. Scarier the better. I don't know how anyone can look at a roller coaster and be put off by it. Sure there is a tiny chance you'll die, but apart from that...

Ehm, I've been to a ton of theme parks in my life, Florida is the best but speaking a little more closer to home, Alton Towers is my favee.

You might want to skip to about 0:35. Basically you drop down this massive steep dip into a balck hole underground, but before you drop, it stops, so you're just stuck there about to go diving down, and you can see a lot of the park while you're stuck. And if you look down, there's large writing on the floor that says 'Don't look down', but to be quite honest if you didn't, you're neck would probably break off with the intensity of the speed. My belly goes proper bonkers when you go down on this.

Air rocks too, you basically lay forward and it makes you feel like you're flying. Big Grin

Alton Towers looks really fun Smile

Re: Theme Parks/Rides - Majick - 10-05-2009 06:44 PM

I used to go to the board walk every summer as a Kid, so I've been on lots of amusement park rides.  My favorite rides were always the Haunted Houses xD

It is. It's awesome. It's supposed to be the best theme park in England... I think... or the biggest. One of them. Or maybe both. XD
