Your must to do list at any park (Excluding coasters)

Mushroom

Mushroom

Goon of the Year
We all go to the parks for the aim of riding the coasters, but what other rides do you normally ride like flats and dark rides. I have a small list of the parks I normally go to and I always want to ride that certain other attraction.

So my list is:
Alton Towers - Hex
Thorpe - Slammer
Lightwater - Black Pearl and Whirlwind
Drayton - Apocalypse
Chessington - Bubbleworks


If I go out of the UK with generic ride types I would normally like to ride:
Mad Houses & any shooting type ride and anything that looks epicly themed ride (Like Talacon at Phantasialand)

So what are yours?

Belantis - Götterflug

Hmm, let me think... :)

Tivoli Friheden - Pegasus and SCAD Tower (though I didn't try it)
Wiener Prater - Star Flyer, Riesenrad, Schwarze Mamba

...
 
Thorpe Park - Tidal Wave
Drayton Manor Park - Apocalypse, Stormforce 10

Pleasure Beach Blackpool - Valhalla, Spongebob's Splash Bash, Rugrats Lost River
Chessington - Dante the Sea-lion (does that count?)

Those are the only parks I go to on a regular basis, but if I go to any park I will always aim to do all the water rides and shot/drop towers. I don't do dark rides unless they give a thrill, and I won't EVER watch a show unless it involves Marine Mammals, shows are so boring! Disney shows <//3
 
Only noteworthy non-roller coaster attractions I've ridden:

Six Flags Great America - Giant Drop
Silver Dollar City - The Giant Barn Swing
 
1. Cyclone Sams
2. Cyclone Sams
3. Cyclone Sams

Brean: Ghost Train
Drayton: Apocalypse, Stormforce 10

Alton: Rapids
Blackpool: River Caves
Drayton Manor: Maelstrom, Pandemonium, Chuff Nuggets (let's face it, there's no coasters there worth gonig on ;) )
Gullivers Warrington: Tomb Malarky, The horror walkthrough

They're the only parks I go to regularly enough to have a "must go on" list.
 
Rapids, Flumes and 'scenic' boat rides are usually my faves. I hate going on boats so, for me, these are about the most thrilling and scary things I can do.
 
Regular parks:

Alton:
Rapids
Charlie
Twirling Toadstool
Hex

Thorpe:
Rapids
Slammer (when it's open)

CWOA:
Tomb blaster
Kobra
 
Thorpe: Detonator, Samurai, Slammer (IF it's working) and Rush (Allthough my last few rides have been pretty poor so this may leave my must ride list soon!)
Alton: Ripsaw, Hex, subterra and blatantly Submission too...
Drayton: Apocalypse (By far the best Drop Tower in the UK) Stormforce 10 (By far the best Water Ride in the UK*)
and Maelstrom (Best swinging flat ride in the UK) Shame Drayton doesn't expand more, it has some of the best rides in the uk!

*Yet to ride Valhalla mind you!

I did hear about the four weeks you spent in Cheddar Gorge...

Don't say that, you'll make Sue jealous! :wink:

I think the Rapids at Alton come closest to must-do non-coaster attractions at parks I regularly visit.

When I was in Florida, I always had to watch Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom. Otherwise, I didn't really mind what I did or didn't do.
 
Without going into specific parks, I'll always make sure to hit any drop towers (S&S shot towers I can take or leave depending on queues and how I feel), dark rides and water rides. I'll also make sure to try out any new type of flat ride, even if it looks vile.
 
I adore weird dark rides so will always seek those out. Rapids, shooty rides, drop towers. Basically anything that doesn't spin and I'm there.
 
I really don't have a home park so I can't say I've been on these a lot, but I have been to Disney World and Universal Orlando more than twice. I always have to ride:
Soarin
Harry Potter
Spider-man
Splash Mountain
Haunted Mansion
Men in Black
Simpsons
Tower of Terror
Star Tours
Pirates of The Caribbean
Test Track
Mission Space
Maelstrom
Jurassic Park
Dudley Do-Right
Buzz Lightyear
 
I always try and make an effort to ride unusual flat rides that i've never seen before.

Other than this always drop towers and dark rides.
