scary happenings

[2hd.]

Not physically hurt myself, but I have some stories from Alton Towers and Thorpe Park, from the half-term.

On the harnesses on Oblivion they have a shoulder harness, and a seat belt, The seat belt is incase your restraint goes, to stop it coming out too far. Anyhow, we get to the top of Oblivion, and tip over the edge, then the seat belt falls out on my mates seat! The harness stayed on, then on the brakes, when you suddenly halt, my mates harness shot up!

On Slammer at Thorpe Park, I went down for the first drop and my waist harness was really lose (you have a waist and shoulder harness on Slammer), due to some stupid chav undoing a nut. Staff saw him on security cameras, so I had the last laugh as 5 security staff frog-marched him out.

wooh that oblivion one is dodgy, theyre not ment to release the harness's until the car is inside the station..

Ive hurt myself on almost all the rides at AT, the cork***** hurts anyway, the harness's on submission hurt anyway, Hmm... *thinks* O.o i got hit across the legs with a branch on nemmie*I sat on the end at the front* at the fastest bit, *the bit before you go into the tunnell, not the one before the big loop, the one before that* And that left a nice mark across my legs ;]

At Southport We Was On The Traumatizer and one Of the Wheels that akes you up the Hil Stopped It Had got jammed. Nayway it was forcing itself to go and out came sparks and i was right at the fron then al of a sudden it stopped so everyone behind us got of at the top like an hour later. but if you sit a the front your allready haging over the hills so we were stuck there for another hour untill it decided to go again and i was the only one on coz my brothers were 2 scared when i came down everyone cheered and i was crying. but to make up wht had happened they ave me a free wristband ticket, and the same week i went back on again

I have a scary one actually, it wasnt at a themepark, but it was at a travelling fair near me, I was on this ride called feel the rush
*gets picture...*
Here we go...


basically you sit in a ring of cariages, and you spin upside down a lot
At first it spins around a little bit on the floor to gain speed, and doesnt go up very high, but my shoulder harness [and the person's opposite me] flipped up, they stopped it after when they noticed, it was really scary, then they tightened it so much I swear it must of cut off the blood circulation to my legs ;p Hmm anyway theres my scary happening of the month, travelling fairs for you :rolleyes:
