Wow! Did you ride anything else? What about Boomerang? It was closed when we were there- so annoyed. We rode Jaguar a fair few times, more my son's style, and Montezuma's though I didn't think much of that. We couldn't stay on as there were always enough people for the next ride or two. Can't really say about the crew, didn't notice, but we did like Americans in general, found them friendly and helpful. C'ya Caroline

Lucky you too! You live on the Gold Coast. I'd have annual passes for every park! Caroline

Spinball Whizzer was fun, a good family ride which is different every time. Interesting concept, can be a bit wild depending on direction of your car in various parts. The sideways corner in my pic is the best part. Caroline

Sorry this is off-thread. I'll make it short. We went in December, and there was virtually no wait. We'd have to get off and run around back through that infernally long queue area to get straight back on. Rode 4 times (I think) in a row!! What a ride! Caroline

hehehe . I've been following that one, bemused and dismayed, but soooo glad to read and talk to others about one of my greatest loves. We did 7 months OS in 2004, husband (coaster heathen and theme park alien), daughter (15yo coaster enthusiast), son (12yo budding enthusiast but not so daring) and myself. If daughter and myself were travelling, we'd have clocked up 50 coasters, but as it was we had to manipulate and beg hubby to get to- Knott's, Universal Studios, Alton Towers, Disneyland Paris and Legoland Detschland. I may be the only one on this forum who has ridden Spinball Whizzer! Favourites of course Air, Oblivion, Xcelerator. Great to meet you. Caroline

Hi from a new member. I can finally post! The lap bars are what make the Xcelerator ride. OTS would totally destroy the experience. The top of the top hat is just amazing with the momentary weightlessness and nothing between you and the air all around- the side only comes up to my thigh. Xcelerator is third on my list and I for one won't complain at all if we get a clone of that coaster. I'm breathless with anticipation...... Caroline By the way, love the sound of your Superman ride too, the idea of Superman boosting the cars up. We just have to wait and see...
