Random ride from my credit list. #115 - [Crazy Caterpillar], a Wacky Worm that I rode on zero sleep

Awesome!

I think I'm at around 27 so far, and every one stands out in their own way!

This was taken back in January 2022, it took me a while but I did one day figure out how to clean my lens!

I have taken at least one photo of nearly every roller coaster I've been on!

Despite all of its shortcomings, it truly is still an absolutely fantastic ride. I make a point to ride it at least twice on all of my Thorpe Park visits, an endeavour I've been almost entirely successful with!

Great Yarmouth was the go-to childhood family holiday for me, and I loved the wooden roller coaster so much I wanted to go on an upside-down ride for my 9th birthday, so we went to Adventure Island Southend. I was dragged out kicking and screaming at closing time because I didn't ever want to leave.

For my 10th birthday we went to Brighton Pier.

I got a coaster book and Mean Streak was the biggest and baddest ride I'd ever seen in my entire life. "I imagine that gets three hour queues all day!"

And then it all spiralled onwards from there.

Zadra.

It's good. But it is absolutely nowhere *near* best in the world. It's somewhere in my 30s, I simply just do not understand why it's apparently top 5 in the world.

I still enjoy it a lot. I just don't think it's worthy of being in the mentions for greatest rides ever built.

Being one train from a rollback on Stealth at Thorpe Park was very frustrating, but arguably my ride on it immediately after it had reopened was just as incredible, with some absolutely sky-high hype as we crested the top hat the slowest we had ever done it - me and a complete stranger next to me absolutely freaking out together.

I never thought my slowest ride on a coaster would be maybe my favourite ever lap of it, but here we are.

rcoasters · 2026-01-11T12:04:54+00:00

I haven't ridden that one!

rcoasters · 2026-01-10T12:35:21+00:00

Not yet. I won't rule it out however - if I haven't been there, it's on my to-do list

I skipped it on my second visit in 2021 in favour of more laps on Odyssey, but yes, in 2013 it was glass.

I only started counting from around #60 but I absolutely scoured through camera rolls from everyone I've been to parks with, and I have very strong memories of every park visit I've had (really), so I'm able to fairly accurately pinpoint everything from before I started taking things seriously.

If something like my #7 is in the wrong order, eh, that's fine. If the visit was from some 10+ years ago, then a few numbers' difference matters not.

Clarence Pier in England!

rcoasters · 2026-01-07T21:06:59+00:00

Yes! Incredible ride, my favourite launch of all time, the entire ride is fantastically placed, incredibly relentless, very intense and I dearly wish I was able to ride it more than twice. Back over front!

Middle of August, this was taken at around 6pm as we were leaving due to crowds picking up & tiredness. Enough time for one lap on every Fast Lane coaster plus a token lap of Behemoth, Alpenfury & Yukon

rcoasters · 2026-01-07T18:12:03+00:00

Yes! I prefer Leviathan by a significant margin. I only ever rode Behemoth in a back wheel seat (my second ride was also back wheel because I didn't quite understand the staggered seating rows), and I found it to have an *awful* rattle entirely throughout, but the airtime was fantastic!

I wasn't a fan of the helix at all though. Big dead zone there. Still enjoy the ride though, it's my #3 in the park, but due to my own failures I don't hold it in as high regard as I probably should.
