Re: Roller coaster rides.....would you?

Oh, forgot to mention - funny bit.

When we went on Bling we were stood behind this other couple - as we were getting to the front of the queue the woman started looking a bit nervous. When we got on it she asked the chap working there if Bling had ever broken down, he laughed and said, 'yes, this morning, they were stuck up there for ages'. I'm pretty sure he just said it to wind her up. Anyway, it started off and then when it got to the bit where you're sort of spinning up at the top for a few seconds, I heard the bloke from the couple saying, 'it's ok, honey, you can get through this, I love you sweetheart, we'll be down soon' and all that sort of stuff. It was almost as though they were in a life threatening situation and he was talking her down from the ledge or something. I wonder why people go on these things if they are absolutely terrified by them? I mean, I love them, but I know a lot of people don't, so why bother if it's that unpleasant?

Daft thing was we saw him later as his wife was in the loos and asked if he was in the bad books and he said no because it had been her idea to go on Bling in the first place.
