Have you ever ridden alone?

[Anonymous]

Well, i've never actually had a train to myself, but i rode Top Thrill Dragster without a group, front row. :]

Once in a while when I have nothing to do I would go to GADV by myself for a few hours. I also went to Dorney alone once. It doesn't bother me.

In case you haven;t read the CWoA opening day trip report, here are some photos of me riding Kobra, the new disk-o, on my goonsome!

It was a media day and I did say to the other CFers there that I was determined to have a goonsome ride on my one...and I did! Was awesome! Cheers to peep for the pics.

Pretty cool Ian, but I had no idea that is what Jordan meant when she created this topic. I've never been able to ride all alone like that. :lol:

Yeah, I have. One of my favourite holidays was going to Spain to do Terra Mitica on my own and I would most definately do it again (not just Terra Mitica haha)

 

[Anonymous]

yes

I have. Some rides, because of the G-force, are better when riding alone. I'd rather not have a 100+ pound person pushing against my skeleton. I have bruises.

I think the point of this thread is not "have you ever been in a single rider queue?" but more "have you ever been the only passenger on a coaster train before?"

In either case, the answer for me is yes. I'm sure there are a couple of others, but the only rides I can currently recall having ridden by myself are the Coney Island Cyclone & the wild mouse coasters at Busch Gardens & Kings Dominion. I think I may have ridden Loch Ness Monster alone once, at night.

A couple times here and there, but riding roller coasters is like sex; its much better with someone else... preferably an attractive female.

This is why I always want you around me Hyde.

I spent a day at Alton Towers on my own a few years back, and it was quite pleasant actually. It was a quiet day, which helped, but i'd gone with the purpose of taking a load of photos, and for that reason, being on my own was perfect, because I could just get on with doing what I wanted to without worrying that I was holding others up.

Plus, I got a whole Oblivion train to myself! So, I sat right in the corner, just to be weird.

I did a solo trip to Thorpe last Wednesday. I was getting sick of people saying they would come along then deciding not to, and I'd finally finished all my college work, so I thought "why not?".

I can honestly say I really enjoyed it, even if Stealth's 55min queue was incredibly dull by myself. I found it very relaxing; time to myself, time to think, no people telling me they want to leave early, no being late, just...me and the park. Stayed from 10am 'til 5pm.

Vortex was walk-on, got on Rush straight after (with no one wimping out) and I managed to get front row on all the coasters, and another go on Inferno back row left seat at closing time. Perfect.

Much to my surprise the park was quite busy, odd since I was there on a school day and thought everyone would be at school/college/work. But I still got everything I wanted to done, with the exception of Slammer which broke down when I was queueing for it.

Doing the park alone was a nice experience, but not half as good as with friends. I'd definitely do it again though.

I always visit a theme park with one or both of my parents. Apart from at school when we visited Chessie for a "stranger danger" role-play activity.

But, I have ridden alone. Three times on Oblivion at Alton Towers - and I'm only 11!

 

[wabbit42]

Many, many times

I had an oblivion car to myself once, because my mum had lost her phone and was looking for it. Also I went on Rita in single rider 3 times while the rest of the family went on it once.

I went through a phase of single riding lots, especially on rides like Spinball where if you queue it has a major impact on your day.

Disney can be good for single riding but if I'm going somewhere new I like to experience it with my family.

 

[herbinator]

I think i have only ridden on my own once and it was nemesis inferno. My family and friends wussed out and thoses that didnt stayed to look after those that did! It was quite good but queing was hell!

I found the people next to me started talking to me as i was ridin alone.
Nice guys :--D

 

[Colossus]

Yep, dosnt bother me in the slightest

 

[CMonster]

I think once I almost had a train to myself on Gwazi, it was like two people in the front and me in the back or something like that.

 

[alexAVFC96]

No. I always want to ride with someone I know. You could end up with someone really strange. Or you could end up meeting someone but no I like to ride with people I know.

I go on my own a lot too! I enjoy going at my own pace, and doing the rides I want to do..

Very true. I've ridden alone a couple times, and it's ok, but nothing beats having a friend with you.
