I remember when we went to see Honey I shrunk the Audience, and it was fab...but the 'mice' under the seat made me jump some:) We then went to Universal Studios and did Terminator 3D and I spent the whole of the experience legs crossed on the seat, convinced that something was at some point going to get me from under the seat:rolleyes: this was not a easy theat being at the time a size 24...should be easier this time cos I am now a size 18.....but just tell me is there anything under them seats and is it 'safe' to sit properly:confused2

Not sure about that, I really cant remember. Dont think so.

One to watch out for is Its Tough To Be a Bug at AK. Not recommended if you are in the least big bug phobic!!

I hate anything like this, the only one I could cope with was Mickey's Philarmagic. :D HISTK and TTBAB just freaked me out! :eek:

I was wrong about Duelling Dragons. It looked great but scared the pants off me. I dont think I could go on it again. I want to try Hulk and be proved wrong that it isnt scary, but my neighbour was on it when it broke down and he was left hanging upside down at the top of one of the loops. He was stuck there for 20 mins and was offered to be able to ride it again at the front of the queue to make up for the disappointment - I would have fled! I might come back with an answer this time.
ET -I was wrong about that too -awful ride. All the rest lived up to their billing :D

What's under the seats? I can't remember and it was only a fortnight ago!

I thought it was mostly jets of air and dry ice.

When we're going to those things I always do a thorough inspection all round the seats for signs of water and unexplained holes!

No Angie -just offered a 2nd ride on it -they couldnt believe it! No vouchers, no compensation -nothing. He said that he will never ride a coaster again!! He seems OK though and should be heading for Florida next year

For those intending to ride Coasters during their trips, I can draft a will at a competitive price.

Ulsterscot - your one stop legal shop!

Oh my god... that's me never, ever, ever riding the Hulk - not even thinking about it, I could not cope with that at all

I thought Mission space was too tame couldnt understand the fuss after the first ride...rode again but kept my head tilted to one side and shut my eyes...

BOY HOW WRONG COULD I HAVE BEEN...felt sick as a dog and could not walk in straight line for a while afterwards:confused2..

If you think MS is tame then just dont look at the screen and you will get a totally different experience!!!!!

When I went on Haunted Mansion I was terrified. I kept waiting for things to spring out on me as they do at Alton Towers Haunted House. When I got to the end I was so tense I hadn't enjoyed it at all.

We were put off taking the kids on Splash Mountain due to the drop. But what a great and funny experience.

Re: T2-3D.

Nothing under seats, but dont forget the 'drop' at the end.

I loved the Hulk - it was the only ride that I did more than once at any of the parks - Kraken was also brilliant but I just wish that they went for longer - I want to try X Scream at Las Vegas as I reckon that must be the most extreme ride.

We did Atlantis at Seaworld. Nice little boatride then the drop bit great I'd survived ( I'm not a rollercoaster type person) Thought that was it and was getting ready to get out.....then we started going uphill again. Nobody told me there was two drops!!!
