BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Oh ok let me rephrase: Hardly 'the number 1 roller coaster experience'. Unless of course you are claiming that Alton Towers is the number 1 roller coaster experience in Staffordshire, England. In which case that might be true. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Anyway. It looks sod all like Alton Towers. This is what Alton Towers looks like Sorry veronica! Looks like fun I would like to take a ride on that myself. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Originally Posted By: thursday no, Alton Towers has no buildings around it like that. But we were stuck upside down for 30 mins while the monkeys tried to fix it. Alton Towers remains the number 1 roller coaster experience. How else can I explain that?

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 OK so you had an experience there that was not normal it seems. Yikes. What ride was it on? How did it feel? But - why does that make this Thunder Dolphin "look a lot like Alton Towers"? Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I had a ride on a virtual roller coaster at Questacon in Canberra. It was fun. the second time wasnt as exciting but. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Looks great, I must go on that sometime. The best one I remember going on is one where you can go on it backwards or forwards. It is quite a weird feeling going backwards on a roller coaster, but really great!!! Also the loop to loop or what ever it is called is great to. You sit in a car, are pulled up to the top which is a straight vertical then they let it go and you go flying down to the bottom around a full loop and up the other side. Then it just goes shooting back down backwards through the loop to loop, brilliant fun!! I went to alten towers years ago, was good, but not the best, but went there during guy forkes night, they have a brilliant fireworks and laser show, at least they used to, don't know about now though!!

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 you should check out the eijinika roller coaster at Fuji-Kyu Highland, its mental!! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Not been on that one yet. Fun? Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I know, I've been on that, several years ago now if it is the same one? I had forgot about that! Was about 8 years ago when I went! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It's not that old snowdude. Perhaps you mean dodonpa? Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Loved Fujikyu - Fujiyama, Dodonpa and that one above. Great rides. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I forget what it was called, the Dodonpa that you mentioned may have been it, I really don't remember. I imagine the rides have changed a lot since I last went! Actually I think it was more than 8 years ago, come to think of it, was before I came to Japan for the first time, so must have been more than 10 years ogo, not 8! Oh well maybe time for a roller coaster refresh, been a while since I have been on a really good one! Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think you'll be talking about Fujiyama there snowdude. It's the big-scale roller coaster at Fujikyu. Dodonpa is one of those that starts from a standstill then rushes you off. Eejanaika is a much more complicated one to describe but has only been there a year or two.

snowdude 44 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah Veronica, could be, no idea what it was called, and where now, but yes probably was at fujiku it was several years ago now, it was fun that much I do remember! Link to post Share on other sites
Nisoko 6 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Eejanaika looks amazing would really like to have a go on that one. Link to post Share on other sites
