Hello,

Long time since i posted!!
Well we are off to Florida in Oct (we had to cancel last yrs trip).
We thought we deserve this holiday after the yr that we have had!

Done our itinerary, but i am a little unsure about two of the rides - Simpsons and Spiderman. We didn't do Spiderman last time we went (06) so i was wondering what these rides are like?

I did Back To The Future with my eyes closed and cuddled my then 10 yr old son.I am a jessie of a girl!!![msnsmile2]

Do these two rides move or are they stationary in one place but go up/down?
Are there any "real" drops or just visionary drops where you can close your eyes and feel nothing?

The reason i am asking these q's is because we went to Alton Towers and i was like "Come on let's go do Hex".....Smarty pants me!
I asked the guy what the ride was about and he said it was optical illusion. I can cope with that (i thought).We got on the ride and the safety bar came down over our laps...panic[msnoo]...then we started moving/tilting backwards.....oh poopy.

Well i had my eyes open, and to me, the seats were moving backwards and forwards like that awful pirate ship ride that you think you will fall out of. Up we were going, or so i thought, over the top we were going. so i thought! This was too much for me so i closed my eyes, grabbed the safety bar, put my head down and wished for the ride to finish. Once my eyes were closed i was ok (ish), just sweaty hands, racing heart and feeling sick!

Once the ride was finished, i was out of there. Hub asked what was wrong and why was i sitting funny. He couldn't believe i felt that bad.
So this is the reason why i would like to know about these rides and decide if i will do them. Hub gets pushy and says "You'll love it". Just like he said i'd love primevil whirl.I came of hyperventilating and thinking i was having a heart attack. I loved that one![msncry]

Hope someone can help me decide.


Thanks
