Ok so that was a wierd title but I will explain. I wanted to see how many people have noticed hidden elements on the ride!

eg. Have you ever noticed on the green train on the Grand national, that there is a gold sign. On this sign it say that Andy Hine (Chairman of Roller Coaster Club of Great Britain) has said this is a celebrity train.

That made me laugh. I mean imagine trying to get an autograph from a roller coaster train. What do you do put a note book on the track so it can make a mark on it!

Oh I have another one. Have you noticed the ROLLER COASTER at Blackpool has no up-stop wheels?

I don't know why because it does give alot of air time. Mind you it is a ride not known to be safe!

It isn't the one with no harnesses is it? If it is, there's obviously no need for upstop wheels.

Maybe it gets around .5 g's or something, and you feel it as something else?
