Rides You Just Don't Even Think About Bothering With

[Emmett]

Yeah I only managed one go on SuperSplash. The other 2 times I walked down it hadn't opened yet so I had to make that trek back again. I found alot of things at TusenFryd were a bit of a trek getting to especially the area where the Dragon coaster and Space Shot are located.

Most of the times at parks I avoid the flats and tower type rides. I'm not a big fan of these types anyway and would prefer spending my time queuing or riding a coaster instead.

Son of Beast.

That is, unless you're into that kind of stuff...

 

[Snoo]

Top Thrill Dragster.

It's too long for too short.

YAH RIGHT!

Tell me, what's a 3 hour wait for a 30 second ride? I could ride better things (say, Maverick) 3 times while waiting for one. I could also whore great rides with no line (say Gemini) in the same amount of time.

It's pointless unless there is no wait.

If the wait is under an hour, I do it.. simply because I like the ride.

To be honest, no ride outside of my Top 3 is worth waiting more then 3 hours for.. let alone for TTD.

To be honest, I don't really bother with most flat rides. I get much more of a kick out of coasters. The exceptions would be the bigger ones (drop towers, swing rides etc).

X:\ No way out - Just a useless waste of space which could be used for something far greater!

Poseidons Fury - The longest queue in the park and what a waste of time. A real disapointment from universal.

 

[monkeyonatable]

this is an easy one

Ninja (SFOG). That is the single most painful ride I have ever been on

 

[Inverse]

X:\NWO and Tidal Wave.

 

[Patrick]

Any spinny flat as they make me sick.

Also X: No Way Out, which I couldn't be bothered with to be honest.

 

[Gavin]

It's not so much specific rides, but more ride types for me.

I usually don't bother with top spins anymore because I'm just sick of them. If it's a small park, I've ridden everything, and there's no wait, then I might have a quick go.

The same thing goes for swinging ships and Diskos.

The only "big" ride I can think of now that I've habitually ignored would be Rolling X Train. Out of about 12 visits to Everland, I probably skipped it 8 of those times.

Zodiac and Vortex just don't exist either as far as I'm concerned when I go.

LIAR! :wink:

*unless it's utterly dead and I'm making a point of riding everything in the park


Oh... and I even forgot Quantum when it came to this topic. Shows how amazing that ride is.

 

[Martyn H]

Rush, I hate it, it's boring, and I couldn't care less if I ever go on it again.
Submission, haven't done it in about 5 years.
Enterprises, I find fun, but can't be bummed to do.
Tidal Wave/Hydro etc. I dislike getting stupidly wet.
Colossucks, it be crap and again, I couldn't care less if I ever go on it again.

Alton Towers:

Runaway Mine Train: State the obvious, I've ridden it a few times in my childhood and it wasn't bad, but I'm really looking for the thrills.

Congo River Rapids: When with a family its ideal, however with friends you'll just give them a miss.

Hex/Duel: Both are fine once, but when coming back it's just extra time wasted at Alton.

Rita: Queen of Speed: It's not really a ride to rave about when visiting, if the queue is under 30 minutes then its worth a spin.

Most flats: The majority are fairly poor flat rides (minus Ripsaw), and if I'm at Alton I mainly spend time riding rollercoasters than flats.

Drayton Manor:

G Force: Only if the queue is exceedingly high, however there aren't enough rides at Drayton for an entire day, and all the rides are fairly decent.

Pirate Adventure: Ridable once, next few rides are a bore.

Thorpe Park:

Flying Fish: Another obvious one...

A few flats: Thorpe is similar to Drayton in terms of it having a small selection, probably flats like Slammer or Zodiac I'd tend to miss out. Other than these Thorpe's fine!

Disneyland Paris:

Showy rides: These include ones like "it's a small world", and Peter Pan. I don't mind trying if I'm with younger riders, I just look saft on my own.

Thats probably it for Disneyland really. I enjoy Indiana Jones and think it's great when the queue is walk-on and the other rides are packed up. Nothing unique or spectacular, it's just a genuinely fun ride!

PortAventura:

Stampida: There's normally a huge queue and the ride itself is nothing special. It looks amazing but it really is a waste of prescious Dragon Khan whoring time!

Flat rides: All the flat rides (minus Hurakan of course), are pretty much awful and only deserve one ride if not then no ride.

And thats about it for PA too. I really enjoy the showy rides here and find them a lot better than those at Disneyland (e.g. Sea Odyssey), so I do give them a ride at most times. Diablo and Tomahawk again are rides I consider to do a few times in a visit because I actually think they're great! And everything is good too.

I would plan to do a Blackpool pointless ride list, but there are way too many to even note down. So here's everything anyway. :--D

Woops, sorry, I forgot to read the fine print :roll:

And yeah, despite us trying to get all the rides done we still neglected Quantum :lol:

 

[Ben]

Yeah, NOTHING will make me ride Quantum

 

[Anonymous]

At Liseberg there isn't anything that I refuse to go on, but usually I don't really bother with much more then Lisebergbanan, Balder, Spinrock and Uppswinget, the rest I only ride when I'm with someone that want to ride them.

 

[ECG]

Way too many to begin to start listing.
Let me put it this way, when we go to Cedar Point we generally only ride Maverick, MF, TTD & maXair. Everything else is just meh, so you can imagine how much we skip on repeat trips to other parks.

 

[nealbie]

Yeah, NOTHING will make me ride Quantum

But you'll litter on Tidal anyday! (twice infact on anyday)

 

[Rush]

Any ride I dislike... that's the obvious answer. I'll only go on some if someone else does or if I want to try it out again.

I especially avoid Quantum. Quantum is a **** ride. I hate it. I shall also be skipping Da Vinci's Cradle as a result.

I like Enterprises though!

 

[silenthillXD]

For me it has to be tidal wave! I mean what is the point? The drop doesnt even look that good. Ok maybe you get a free shower but seriously I dont get it. I also dont understand rides like quantum. It looks awfull!
