Ohhhh! Lol, I'll tell my cousin that!!! I went on it with her and it said technical difficulties! They stopped it and then continued after, so scary!!!
I remember on a school trip we went to Chessington and one of my friends was convinced to go on this ride by 2 other friends, even though she really didn't want to. We watched as they all got on and she was looking very pale and shaking like a leaf. When the ride finished and they came off she ran over beaming saying it was absolutely brilliant 😂
do you ever watch videos of roller coasters or rides that you went on and want to go on them again i went chessington some weeks ago and it was epic i went on the 17th of May 2019 with all the year sixes
Back in the late 90's they used to run it on a much more hardcore setting than this, It used to spin you upside down about 30 times while you were slowly rotating backwards haha.
I went there today and omg it was the scariest thing I've ever done in my whole life. I was literally screaming through the whole thing... And it broke down twice ( obviously )
I got stuck on this ride. We stopped right at the top and the only way to get us down was to lower us ridiculously slowly. It took like 10 minutes to get us down but we got 2 free rides so that was good. Sad to see it gone this year. Shall miss it.
I went on this on Friday, and all I can say is: This thing is one of my worst enemies. (I had to sit in the middle, and when it slowly dunked you into the water at the end, I literally couldn't breathe. To make matters worse, everyone had to switch seats like 4 times because of the weight limit, and the first time we were finally raised into the air, there were technical difficulties or something, and we were just hanging there for like 5 minutes before we were finally lowered. What a fun experience.)
Rode this as a kid, it was great but we left it until the last ride of the day so we had to drive home wet in the car... do it earlier so you can dry out.
I’m going to chessington for a school trip in July and I’m so hyped- I’ve only been there once before and the time that I went there I was too scared to try the actual big rides Now me and my friend are planning which rides were gonna go on-
I went on it at Halloween FAVORITE RIDE EVEEEER. Vampire was my favorite when I was a kid lol. The second time I went on it was so annoying because they had these blinding lights on though D: and she stopped the ride FIVE TIMES because we had to "shuffle" some one said we should have a picnic while we where there. EVENTUALLY she actually started the ride. When she was saying READY FOR ROUND TWO? Every one was yelling "get on with it!" XD. Oh and my favorite bit is when it spins you around four times. Luckily there was a no water ride for me because my face paint would be sprayed. First time I went on my face got sprayed and THEN after the ride my auntie was drenched and stuck in her seat and the instructor had to come and press on the seat so she could escape XD.
Okay there has to be footage somewhere from pre 2000's, I went on this as a kid and it was much worse, kept barrelling you over and over, it destroyed me!
Last time I went I was a cm off being tall enough to go on this. I don't think I am going again anytime soon, but I am going to Thorpe Park on April 3rd :D
I love this ride it's a shame it has had such bad luck this year, hopefully the restraints will be fixed and it will be better next year. Do you prefer the cycle on this or Ripsaw?
It's funny how this ride is 21 years old yet still running & Ripsaw from Alton Towers opened 2 years later, 1997 & only lasted for 18 years & has been demolished from the park as of last year, 2015. Don't understand the logic in that being honest.
I went on this and it was so amazing, such a rush when you span around, wasn’t looking forward to the splash of water at the end though! (I sat in the middle and I got soaked! 😂)
I remember I went on this a long time ago and I was like 8 or 9 and the ride was stuck upside down the look on my sisters face was hilarious and I went on it like 4 times more after but my sister didn’t dare 😂
I went chessington today 4/07/14 with my school and me and my friend went on it and my other friend was in the line with us but was too scared so me and my friend went on it and I was wearing a scarf with my headphones on it and my phone was plugged it and my phone dropped cuz my scarf fell and I think this is the BEST RIDE EVER but I think vampire was EQUAL to it and it never broke down
My teacher watched this today, if you are watching this again because you are inside (also marking) whilst the pupils are out of school... I feel your pain :)
I want to go on this ride but i don't really go on rides that go round and round . I enjoy scary rides that go up sidedown but i need opinions. Is it scary and how scary is it??
Sooooooo I have a question who went on this and have glasses and when it span your glasses fell? Because I have glasses and going soon so I have to know
Back in 2016 we took my 84 year old Grandad on this ride, unfortunately he pissed himself and the ride was closed for the remainder of the afternoon whilst the clean team mopped up the mess. Was a shame
That's nothing we took our 3,000 year old great great great great grandad on the ride, and he turned to dust.They had to jet wash the whole ride and all the passengers too !
I've never been on this, or any upside-down ride for that matter, but I really want to man up and do this. But I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to sit in the middle and get shot in the face with a huge beam of water. 😂
