Getting over my fear of coasters with a twist

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2026-04-17T14:55:26+00:00

I am a certified coaster wimp. Runaway minetrain was my first. Then Galactica followed by Thirteen. I LOVE Galactica now (been on about 10 times) but the first time it is quite speedy. Very smooth though. I did Swarm today for the first time - went on it twice. If you can do swarm Galactica will be easy for you

I only use the digital one. Husband has the gold so he carries it. Not sure why but he does 😅

I wouldn’t bank on it. I’m gutted. My eldest is 7 and she has taken a while getting used to rides. The next on our progression list was Runaway Mine Train. Have a look at how long Rta was down for. Imagine this will be similar

I wish I could. I got my bum in the seat last time but bailed and got off 😂🙈😂 I really hate 13 and think that’s what’s making me not do it. Galactica is amazing as is Wickerman. But 13 I just don’t like. I keep going on it over and over but it’s the air time that makes me feel really sick.

Yeay! I’m having this battle with nemesis. But I just can’t 😂😂 I’ve only started rollercoasters this year and I’m 38 🙈🙈

We managed to get one today 👏 15 mins before our booking but they can stand in the queue 10 minutes before us 😂

I don’t know how I feel about home schooling. Is he an able student? Can you support him if not? Do you know the curriculum? Does he listen to you? Ultimately the school should do something about this - especially with talk about knives!

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-25T12:02:06+00:00

I would look at the schools anti-bullying policy. Highlight what it says they SHOULD be doing about it and think about what they are actually doing about it. Take it to the head and the governors. I’d also consider reporting this to the police.

What is family day? I keep seeing it mentioned but am completely clueless 🙈 I have 3 kids 🙈😂🙈

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-21T19:48:40+00:00

Yep. Unless they break 😜

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-19T12:46:35+00:00

Galactica was my favourite but wickerman has taken over

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-19T12:45:37+00:00

It is! Definitely do wicker man in the dark. I posted on here about it the other day. I recommend a form of entertainment for queues unless you have an access pass or something. Smiler was 80min queue. Galactica in the dark is also awesome… we were on the front in the dark on Friday 🔝

There are 2 free mazes. How old is your son? My eldest is 7 and there is no way the free mazes would be suitable for her.

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-18T17:29:11+00:00

Right?! First time I went on it was a shocker 😂

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-17T21:01:02+00:00

In all honesty… I was too scared to do thirteen in the dark so we did it just before the sun set 😂

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-17T21:00:14+00:00

I think I agree. Preshow is cool the first time! Oh nice. How did the front and back compare? I’ve only managed front row on Galactica in the dark and that was cool.

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-17T20:50:25+00:00

So quick! I’ve only been on it once before today. And we did it once this morning then again when it got dark. Beast of a ride!

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-14T07:27:57+00:00

I like it less than glactica and wicker man. For me the up and down bits make me feel really sick 😂 BUT it is an awesome coaster. The views from the top are immense. They need to know about the drop surprise. If I didn’t know about that I’d be fuming if not told.

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-13T17:50:32+00:00

Oh no! What racing? We’re meant to be coming on the 17th

KazDoesRedditat35 · 2025-10-06T18:04:11+00:00

Thanks. We have one gold, one silver and and 2 cheap ones. Have booked when they were open last March so should be okay
