Rides you miss

[Swat]

Corkscrew I use to love the Lift hill whine when you were nearing UG land.

 

[slappy mcguire]

The Bullet, Magnum force, and yes, again the Mine Train at AA, and the Black hole. Dark roller coasters are sadly becoming something of an endangered species, and it doesn't surprise me ni the slightest so many people miss that one in particular.

I also forgot to say Extra Terrorestrial Alien Encounter at Walt Disney World. Replaced with a ridiculous Stitch's Great Escape! Which is a large pile of Vomit. It uses many of the same effects as Alien Encounter, but doesn't compare to it at all in my opinion. Alien Encounter is the only time that I have ever been truly scared on a ride.

It closed down because parents complained about it being too scary for their children, even though there were many warning signs and a height restriction. If it's too scary, don't let your bloody kids go on it!

Stupid Disney, being child friendly. We need thrills damn it!

Drayton Manor: Klondike Gold Mine (so much fun, IMO more fun than G Force

It's on Hayling Island if you miss it that much.

The Bullet, Magnum force

Indeed, two of the best coasters the UK has ever seen, even if The Bullet occasionally squashed your shoulders. Flamingoland did the right thing by getting rid of the (very costly) fairground rides, but it seems the replacements don't even come close.

I have to agree that is one attraction that scared me, I had no idea what it was about at the time. I think they were right to replace it, to many adults and kids were scared. I am very pleased I got to go on it though.

Cyclone at Pleasureland Southport.
Was a great ride.

 

[Anonymous]

the black hole, a classic ride.

Virginia Reel at Blackpool - that ride was a real beauty and always missed.

Also I agree with Richie about G-Force at Fantasy Island, I'd love to be able to ride it with a glasses strap on and actually be able to see everything.

The Whip at Blackpool - maybe one day a chance for another go on that if I ever get to Margate.

Only the Reel is truly gone forever and can never be replaced. Even if they did build a new version someday the restraints would make it a different ride.

Now that it's going.. Big Bad Wolf.

agreed :cry:

Who the heck thought that it would be a good idea to remove one of their more popular attractions?

 

[Mr Nash]

Texas Tornado, Frontierland.

Agreed on that one.

Also,Looping Star at Margate.

Not that it was a great ride,but I miss it more for sentimental reasons.

 

[Jools]

I miss Black Hole so much and Corky has gone too :'(

 

[HarryBoyy]

I know it is now back at the park but Flying Fish at Thorpe Park dosent feel the same.

 

[Anonymous]

I'm still missing Corkscrew, Alton just doesn't feel the same without it. Black Hole too.

 

[Anonymous]
