getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

I'd go on it... but I think I'd be unimpressed. They have something similar (though I'm guessing not as quick or high) at Thorpe Park and I thought it a waste of queueing time. Also the seats didn't work for 6'6" people - so much so I almost asked to get out before the ride!

I prefer my roller coasters to last a bit longer!

Done it ... same as " Stealth " at Thorpe Park ... massive acceleration and then up up up and straight down on the vertical ..... easy !  ;D ;D

Only 120 mph? A bit slow, isn't it?
And waiting in line for over an hour for a 20 second ride?
I'd rather go sky diving!
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

She IS a lucky girl ... always bungee over water and that's the reason why !! I havn't done it and don't know if I could given the opportunity  ... I suppose you never know till your'e up there !!
Anyone else Bungeed ??

Boomer

Bungee? F**K that!
I'll jump out of a plane but will never bungee.
As for the ride,... a bit slow and not that exciting.
Can have more fun on my GTR on a sliproad.  8) ;D
I guess the ride would be exciting to Mr & Mrs Ford Focus TDI.

That lass had obviously had one too many Fray Bentos pies the night before, even the crocs were looking forward to a bit of steak & kidney!  :o

Very, very lucky indeed.

No way could I bungee jump I would die of  :o before I even jumped! don't do heights at all. funny really providing I can't see the ground I'm ok. even painting the outside of the house, I'm ok if I can get one hand inside a open window because I feel secure. but there's certain places like corners where I have no excess to windows and can't get a tight grip when on the ladder. I just get the old knee slapper, "don't mean the wife" I mean when your 2 knees start knocking together very rapidly ;D then I just taped the brush to a long pole to finish the job off.
