Jungle Rush Coaster

Are we back to normal? No spam? But yes that’s the only downfall is the storage whilst loading/unloading

Definitely saw some kids chicken out in the queue around the gem room. But all the kids that I saw parents forcing onto the ride despite being scared seemed to love it by the end. I think the “scariness” of the theming is probably creating some great core memories. 
 

For me personally a lot of my fondest childhood theme park memories were when I conquered a ride that scared me. Standing in the Tower of Terror queue with the car launching over the top of you was terrifying when you didn’t know what sort of experience you were getting into. But once you rode it once that fear turned into a feeling of such accomplishment.

Very much a core memory for me, that feeling of hearing it launch and people screaming as you were getting closer to the end of the line.

Get put into your row in that little room before the station, then the big doors open to reveal the carriage. Miss it for sure haha.

For me that remains a fond adult memory

We went in 2019 just before it closed, I must have walked up to the entrance about 5 times before I built up the guts to go in, then when I was waiting in the queue the ride went down. We were sitting on the stairs and they started testing it again and I nearly walked out - it added so much to the 'terror' atmosphere.

Still remember being anxious as hell but having that feeling of release after the first ride is over is indescribable now. I kind of miss that rush now that I'm not really anxious about rides anymore.

After that you couldn't keep me off it. Until they closed it for good that is.

As for JR, I'm resisting the urge to watch a POV!

I cried so much in the queue for The Claw until I finally rode it and it became my favourite in the park, can definitely see that happening with Jungle Rush
