Come on your getting there!!! Does it go upside down and throw you about? Any other rides similar or is it one of a kind? Do you have to que for 50mins and then the ride is 40 seconds like the oblivion at Alton Towers.

Come on I want details lol

off topic but i went alton towers the other day for the first time in about 10 years. was a good day out but im sure years ago rides lasted longer :confused: none of them were scary or even messed my stomach up and was over within a minute. i think they should go round twice tbh.

Well we had to wait nearly an hour and half because its brand new but worth the wait.

You all queue up outside what looks like a big warehouse. There is loads of fences, barbed wire, mannequins and contraptions appropriate to the Saw films. You can see the what you think is the whole ride. The main attraction being a 100ft beyong vertical (100 degree) drop which you watch everyone drop down whilst waiting, there are also some twists, turns and a loop-the-loop or two after the drop.

But what you dont expect is what is in the warehouse.

Ok Im going to say SPOILER! at this point so dont read on it you want the surprises ruined....

i doubt that very much lol i was just a bit disappointed in the whole thing tbh, it would of been more of a laugh having 2 or 3 goes. im sure it used to be like this, we're going to try blackpool next time seen as its only 20mins from us. going to wait for a rainy day so therl be no waiting around.

When you get inside your in a corridor waiting to be told to go upstairs. There are tv screens with Jigsaws clown talking to you. Then all of a sudden there is a click and one helluva bang and we all screamed (men included). looking up there were shotguns above our heads!

Got told to go upstairs and get to two carriges of 8. Luckily there were 8 of us so we got a train to ourselves. Set of together but then the first train went off ahead and we could here them screaming. Meanwhile we're sat with a little clown on a bicycle.

Then we set off round the corner and there were two massive axes swinging backwards and forwards which you think your going through, the below it you see a platform with spikes. All of a sudden you drop down a black hole and spin around a bit. Stop again with a load of crossbows pointing at you. The you set of again on another bit of track that brings you outside to the drop.


There is the appropriate wait at the bottom of the completely vertical incline. (My friend it now hyperventilating hahahahahaha). The up, drop and round the rest of the rollercoaster.

Got of abso bounding about and screaming on go on again.


Have to say my fav part of the ride was my friend you refused to open ehr eyes inside so only had my 'oh my god what is this now' type comment to go on. She was hyperventilating when she got off, screaming I wanna cry and let me off let me off. Hilarious
