I had tried the Timber Ride (As I were a kid), the Canoes and The Dragon in the Danish Legoland.

Define "thrill ride."

filmmaker2 03-02-2006 09:14 AM

When I hear the term "thrill ride," I think of a ride that is slightly or seriously unpleasant, fast, seemingly perilous, and possibly nausea-inducing. A roller coaster, flume ride, or big drop thingie.

That freakin "Twilight Zone Tower of Terror," I almost think it's sick to have something like that, I know a lot of people like it, but jeez! I did it once, but gee willikers. Uhhhhhhh...too much for me.

I cannot do most roller coasters, can't or won't, whichever you prefer, but I will do a flume ride generally speaking. The worst one I know is "Splash Mountain" at Disneyland, which has a fairly evil drop that they let you look down for a couple of seconds before they let you go. Eeeeek, it's creepy and threatening.

Have only been on a rollercoast once..that was enough for me..i was sick as hell afterwards..
I never screamed..i was too busy crying....'get me the fuck off here'

I closed my eyes ..when we stopped..i opened them again and we were hanging upside down..then threw up on some poor dude ..who was looking up at us from the ground.
My kids were like ..weeeeeeeeeeeeeee..lets go again mum..
em like ..not in this bloody lifetime..thats for sure.

filmmaker2 03-02-2006 10:14 AM

Yeah. Most roller coasters, I will look at them and see the people whizzing around screaming, and I think, "Well, there's just no way. No freaking way. Nope! Let's not and say we did."

In a way, I think that the people who design these things to be as messed up as possible, they are twisted people. However, the exact same thing could also, I believe, be said about people who are really good at designing horror films. Perhaps it is a matter of perspective. Certainly many people like roller coasters. I don't mind a little one. It's those gigantic suckers, you know the type.

Well, I hate roller-coasters. Anything that makes my heart beat that fast causes an instant panic attack. Poor paranoid pussy me. However, I have done LSD on numerous occasions and that should constitute as a thrill ride. Trust me on this one.

When I first became a Witch, I was like, sod being different, I just want to ride on a broom. That would be a thrill ride: 1. You're fucking flying on a broom. 2. Everyone can look up your skirt.

stubbornforgey 03-02-2006 10:53 AM

nups...my feet feeling footpath is good enough for me..LOL
I adore horror movie writers and producers etc...'sigh' to have that talent...'mwah'

Tell you what...rollercoaster rides..the longets 3 minutes of my life.

shit ive only been to lame ass parks.

stubbornforgey 03-02-2006 11:38 AM

I used to play sims..where you make your own theme parks and rides..
now that was neat..
lost interest after my park kept going bankrupt.

Haunted 03-02-2006 12:34 PM

I used to play The Sims with the people. I stopped after Makin' Magic and never got into The Sims2

Posher778 03-02-2006 12:36 PM

No rollercoaster has ever actually scared me. Only rides like acrophobia and stuff that puts you in an actual simulation of peril scares me.

filmmaker2 03-02-2006 05:26 PM

Sim Theme Park! Yeah, I have that. It's cool. You get to build multiple theme parks, different ones, on your very own Theme Park Planet. I love that stuff. You can ride your own rides...great. Makes me feel like putting it in now!

I like those little computerized people that walk around the park...they eat, they go to the bathroom...if they eat too much, they throw up, even. And you have to make sure janitors are on hand to clean up after everyone. Yeahhhh, that's a neat little game.

newb 03-02-2006 05:32 PM

I wish they made a good "theme park ride"...where you could literally ride ALL your rides. House of Horrors, Rollercoasters,Flumes.How fun would that be to be able to build your very own House of Horrors...then ride through it.

Roller Coaster Tycoon is better, in my opinion. I have both, and the controls on STP are awful. RCT's contrls arent that much better, but it's an inprovement.

I've yet to try the sequels to RCT, but Id like to.

You can actually build a house of horrors the way you want and ride through it?

Posher778 03-02-2006 05:47 PM

I don't think ther animatronics work, but i know you can build a house and put your own haunted train ride through it.
