      I feared for my life on Oblivion. F**k me that was scary. That click at the top to put you into position. I squealed like a girl on the way down.

      Loved Nemesis though that was awesome. Air's good fun too.

      Went on all the ones at Alton Towers, Nemesis goes so quick you don't even notice if your up or down or what nuts!!

      Air was decent, but Oblivion was by far the best! Had to go on it twice, because the first time I didn't get on the front row!!

      There aren't that many cool ones here in Holland. The best ones I've been in were in other countries.

      The Dragon Khan in Spain, craziest one I've been in:


      The Collosos in Germany, huge wooden rollercoaster:


      The Black Mamba in Germany, goes straight through the park:


      The Eurosat In Germany, cool ride:

      From the outside

      What's inside:

      And here I was kind of jealous because England seems to have some pretty cool rollercoasters  :P

      sh*t myself on Obvillion, F***ing scary that!

      Some others at Alton Towers are good though, Obvillion was just plain scary.

      Duelling Dragons and The Hulk rollercoasters are brilliant,so fast that you feel all light headed when you get off.

      The Sheikra also good and you hang over the edge and look down at the drop before you start,really scary but great.

      I'd say the biggest rollercoaster I've attempted was 14 cans on New Year's Eve. That was one hell of a rollercoaster.

      ^^ That was a good rollercoaster!

      Can't remember the last time I went on one. Think it was Nemesis back in 1996. Had been out partying the night before and got on the coach at 8:30 in the morning - after having no sleep.

      Oh the screams...

      As soon as I got in there, I did head straight to the Water Rapids. That definitely helped me.

      No, try to curl up into a ball and go asleep  ;D

      Was an excellent idea at the time. The journey home wasn't so good though...

      Awww makes me think of the Cyclone in Southport years ago that - although this one's like the Cyclone's big brother. Anyone from around here remember the Cyclone?
