I’ve been on a few rollercoasters in my time, but I’m definitely not an adrenaline junky. As I’ve got older I now find that I tend to feel quite sick if I go on rides. However, my daughter is now 5 and a half, to date I’ve managed to avoid a lot of the big theme parks in the UK, but it’s only a matter of time before we will be visiting a few.
We’ve been to Eurodisney and Adventure Land in South End, but she was a bit younger so I was able to avoid a lot of the hair-raising rides.
I’ve just been having a look at the Thorpe Park site as I was putting together this competition. I will need to measure her but it looks like she can go on quite a few of the rides. Storm in a Teacup and Loggers Leap sound about my level but if I know my daughter, who like most children has no fear, I will be dragged on the scariest ones she is allowed to go on.
Tidal Wave – a heart-stopping 85ft plunge into the blue! At my age!!!! This will be the end of me.
X – A Roller Coaster that races through light and sound. Eeeek!
Heaven help me!
Are you an adrenaline junky and fancy winning 4 tickets to Thorpe Park?
Enter by simply using the Rafflecopter form below. Full Terms and Conditions can be found at the bottom of the form but in short it’s open to UK residents aged 18+. As it’s a big one this competition will run for two weeks and closes on the 8th May 2013.
This competition is listed on Loquax, Prize Finder and Competition Hunter.
Good luck!
the swarm apparently….i think he’s nuts!!
I love all sorts of water rides, so the tidal wave looks amazing to me. My OH might not agree though, but that’s because he’s always the one unfortunate enough to get really, really wet!
I love theme parks, though in my old age I’m not quite so brave as the 14 year old me who did loop the loop (or whatever the upside down twice ride was called) 10 times in a row. My boys would run directly to the water rides like storm surge. The littlest I think would love mr monkeys banana ride. Me, I’d love a go at stealth. The husband – well he’d just push baby around and carry the bags #softy
Imagine going on that disco one after a few Gins !!!!! ( this comment does not promote drinking in theme parks with children ) !
Really wanna go on SAW: the ride!
Nemesis looks cool
Fab competition! I’m an adrenalin junkie!
Saw The Ride :)
Rumba Rapids – I love water raft rides. Definitely nothing too extreme!
the swarm :)
They would love Tidal Wave I’ll watch from a safe distance!
SAW!! not me! let my older girls tackle that one xx
bIT OF A CHICKEN – MIGHT STICK TO THE TEACUPS
My family would love to try the Rumba Rapids.

I admit to being a bit of a ride wimp. My son and husband however, love the thrill of fast and furious. I think Stealth would be their next challenge!

the Flying Fish
Teenagers so its definately COLOSSUS
My daughter says the tidal wave
I/we like most rides but I really fancy the swarm and m teenager does too! My wife is more of a Teacup kinda Gal and my daughter likes the water rides so The Rumba Rapids for her.
Thanks
