I never went on it, but I went to Holland a few years ago to the Efteling Theme Park. Their biggest roller coaster was exactly like Corkscrew and I went on that one. It can't be any worse that a vertical drop at like 90 miles per hour *shivers*

Lol, but it doesn't last that long. It should go around at least twice.

My friends went on and I was only too happy to sit on the big rocks at the Oblivion store keeping an eye on their bags. It was like 2 hours queueing for a 30 second ride. They've changed all the queueing systems now so there isn't a long line. Just get a wee ticket with a time to come back and you'll get more or less straight on. ;D

And on Listers accent.... hmm after watching a bit of RD I ALWAYS start to talk my english in his accent. I have this nasty habit of copying accents which is very annoying if you are in a conversation with a british person and an american person for example.... However I ADORE his accent! F.

I have to say the Alton Towers highlight for me in the firework display at Hallowe'en. I remember we went down with the youth club and there was a huge party in the area in front of the lake with (I think) Dr Fox the DJ chucking teddies and stuff into the crowd. Then the laser light and firework display. It was 1999 I was there and it was a millenium display and the fireworks were sent up to make huge "2000" in the sky. Absolutely outstanding. The display had a story, It was supposed to be the end of the earth and the lasers made this massive face in the sky while all the fireworks went up. It was actually quite scary.

Lol! My sister's 11, though, not a baby.At my baptism last year, I had to answer some questions, and when I was asked to come up, I just cowered in my seat and said "No!" Luckily everyone laughed. I crawled up and pulled out this crumpled up piece of paper from my pocket and began to read in this quivering voice. I was so nervous!

I'm only doing this to make you happy Jen! this is what Jeni asked me to do: rides that i have been on and ratings out of 5 stars: Blade **** Runaway Mine Train ***** Congo River Rapids***** Corkscrew *** Ug Swings(vicky's world) *** Bone Shaker **** Oblivion ***** Black Hole ***** Hex **** Log Flume**** there are more than this but i can't remember them at the moment. Luv Lybs xxx p.s by the way did youknow that they are supposed to have changed the log flume? i went on their website before and they said that they had. it said that now instead of logs they have bath tubs and at the bottom of the biggest drop there is supposedto be a shower so you are guarenteed to get wet even if you don't going down the drop. i don't know if all of this is true but that's what the website said. then again it said 'new for 2004' then it said about the log flume being changed. well you take a look at it and see what you think. here's the link to save you typing out the address. www.altontowers.com. see ya! ;D ;D
