On a similar theme to Johnny Mac's Waterpark thread, what is your favourite themepark(s), and their rides. Include normal fair rides too.
For themeparks, I've done Alton Towers, Drayton Manor and 2 of the smaller parks so I don't think it's enough for me to judge on parks yet. Favourite themepark ride have gotta be Spinball Whizzer at Alton. Favourite travelling fair rides are Stargate, Frisbee, Over The Top and the Boosters.
If you're not sure what they are, Youtube them.

We have a fair that comes every year and I like the rides like the Gravity Wheel and the Sidekick also the fun houses are good!
At Blackpool I lke the big one, the grand national, wildmouse and steeplechase
I know...how scary! We went the other month and it was closed then. That and Valhalla are always breaking down :nervous:
But Valhalla is awful...I hate that ride apart from the fact you get soaked it send you down massive drops backwards and end up bashing your head everywhere
I got stuck on the runaway train at Alton Towers last time I went, it got stuck just before the station where it's on a proper curve...the longest 15 minutes ever :grump: Got an extra two goes round though :thumb:
.. but then im biased because i worked in that park on that ride
if i was to pick another that wasnt from that park then id say... montu or gwazi (rollercoasters) in Buschgardens.
I really enjoyed the Tower of Terror at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast and the Nemesis at Alton Towers. But I think the ride I enjoy the most is the Grand National at Blackpool.

That Valhalla ride was great fun at Blackpool although didn't realise i was going to get as wet as i did. Luckily it was August heatwave few years back so by the end of the mile long walk back from the Pleasure Beach i'd dried out. Amusing part was four of us, piss wet through walking through the middle of Blackpool looking like the dregs of the Miss T-Shirt competition. :thumb:
On a similar dizzyness theme, if you hit a travelling fair and find a ride called Superspin or Experience (same machine, just 2 names) then be very careful!
I'm still yet to do Air. I've been to Alton twice since Air was built and I've never had the chance to go. Then again, there is always tomorrow, and in fact, I really am going tomorrow :-)
Thorpe Park is brill. It's smaller but just as many good rides so if one has a big queue it's not far to walk to another one. I went to one of their Halloween nights 2 years ago and it was really good.

But rollercoasters, I went off them after I smashed my face on the safety bar on one in France, and ended up with mashed up face and mild concussion.
