My wife had never been so I took her a couple of years ago just after we started going out. I got slapped once she could walk again as her opinion of nemesis was a bit different to what I told her before we went on it.

I remember going to AT for the opening of Nemesis, the wife of my friends had never been on any rollercoaster of such type of ride before.  She could hardly talk afterwards - don't think she went on it again that day. Cheers.

The last time I went to Alton Towers was when I was 15 and stayed with family in Staffs.  The Corkscrew was the main feature, which is really dull now in comparison.

Oh by the way that wasn't that long ago 20 yrs ago.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

had the same thing but at eurodisney. the misses aint that keen on roller coasters. she asked me if space mountain went upside down.....urm i dont fink so.......not been onit myself before then. got on the ride and too be honest it scared me to bits too. the not seeing bit is what i wasnt keen on. :shock:
anyway after getting off we both went for a coffee. nothing was said for about 30 mins. it was very quite.  :lol: ......then the barrage started....." why did you say it didnt go upside down ?"  
" i said i dont think it does "
" and did you foget to mentin it was in complete darkness "
"urm i didnt know that either "  :lol:  :lol:

by the end of the day we were back on speaking terms again although quite fragile. didnt help when i said that it scared the you know what out of me aswell...... :lol:
cheers

Cool It is good to hear that there are many thrill seekers out there.

Did Euro Disney and wasn't that impressed.

Took Skatergirl on her first extreme ish ride at billing now she loves the thrill.

Euro disney not that great, Incredible Hulks halts half way through the launch with malfunction lights, then you relax thinking about that, then you suddenly get lauched unaware and come out of the launch tunnel upsaide down, great rush.

Countdown till christmas till I'm over there again.
