Numbers 51 to 100 |
|
This is an
ongoing record of the roller coasters I have ridden.
I've numbered every roller coaster to show the order
which I rode them in. I've also put an extra number in
brackets. This number is the coaster count of English
roller coasters I've ridden, as I thought it would be
interesting to keep track of that in this log as
well. |

Coaster Tussenfryd (Norway) |

When I
went up here as part of the tour I had already
heard a lot of hype about it. I'm glad to say it
lived up to all the hype. It is one of my all time
favourite roller coaster. The best bit is the
second drop, but the ride as a whole is still a
brilliant
package. | |

This was my main roller coaster holiday of
2002. It was a trip up to the European Coaster
Club trip to Blackpool, followed by a day at
Pleasureland Southport. The highlights of the
trip I felt where the one hours E.R.S on the Grand
National, and the recreation of the Jim 'll fix it
eat your pack lunch ride on the
Revolution. | |

This was

do the Cyclone a couple of times before it was
taken down. | |

my number 50 was either the Cyclone or the
Traumatizer. | |

It was
coaster counting which was one of the main reasons
I first visited Adventure Island. It's now one of
my favourite seaside amusement parks, and one I
visit on a semi regular
basis. | |

Orient
Express Dream Park (Egypt) |
|
You may
see this and wonder how I ended up riding a roller
coaster in Egypt. Good question. It goes back back
to when I was made redundant at the beginning of
2002. I was lucky enough to find a new job very
quickly, and to receive a pay of, consisting of my
redundancy, and quite a bit of unused holiday pay.
I decided to use this money to fulfil a big
ambition of mine, and book a holiday to Egypt,
sightseeing down the Nile and around Cairo. It was
a pretty full itinerary, but there was one
afternoon free in Cairo, which I decided would be
a good time to try out one of the local theme
parks. | |

Suspended
Looper Dream Park (Egypt) |
|
After
getting a taxi to the park (which in Cairo is a
white knuckle ride itself), I paid to get in and
started to get around. It was definitely one of
the more pleasant parks I've been to. There was
one incident when I rode a Tidal Wave style splash
boat ride, where after the splash one of the
passengers climbed up onto the front of the boat
and started dancing. In this country you could get
chucked out of the park for doing that, here no
one said anything. It has a few good thrill
rides, and two roller coasters, a mine train steel
coaster, and this ride, which is a suspended
looping coaster with a similar layout to the
Traumatizer, although I felt it was running faster
than the Traumatizer, although this might have
been because I got a back seat on both occasions I
rode this one. Although it's not worth going to
Cairo just to do this park , if you ever are in
Cairo for whatever reason it's worth making the
effort to try this
park. | |

My main
aim of this trip was to go to Fantasy Island, but
I knew this one was here also so I managed to pay
a quick visit to Botton's to do it's 4 coasters
and a few other rides, despite getting delayed by
engineering works on the train
up. | |

I was
hoping to get up to the 90 mark at Fantasy Island,
unfortunately Jubilee Odyssey was closed on both
days I went, as was the Big Apple kiddies coaster
variation (it has a strawberry instead of an
apple). I still managed to get on 3 new coasters,
as well as a couple of other good
rides. | |

Here I've
finally got around to paying a visit to Legoland
Windsor, including going on the two main coasters.
At this point I think I know which coaster I want
as my 100th so I did these two to help make sure I
got to that
number. | |

I'm glad
to say I think I made a great choice for my 100th
roller coaster. It's a great wooden roller
coaster, and there was the huge bonus of doing it
at the opening ceremony, before it was open to the
public. | |
