mine has got to be on the apocalypse at drayton manor. me and my bro were on the stand up side - stand up legs free side sorry - and we got stuck at the top for around 4 mins... now im pretty terrified of drop towers in the first place (silver star's height never bothered me) but drop towers scare the living s*** out of me. yeah anyway it was stopped at the top for aorund 4mins which is actually an insanely long time specially seen as we were tilted forwards so it wasnt all that comfortable. anyway after a while it came back down slowly with the catch car, but then as soon as we reached the problem, the ride op who was a bit of a chav, just said sorry bruv, and then sent it straight back up to the top again... it dropped that time, and my hands were shaking when i came off!

Mine had to be on Montu at BGT. Some may probably have heard a similiar story, but my first time on Montu, it was a rainy and gloomy day, i remember on the right hand turn after the mid-course-break-run there's a support there on the right hand side. I was sitting in the front row on the far right side and I could've swore I hit the support (I really didnt). Im flying by it maybe doing some 30+ mph and unexpectedly I see this light yellow mass right next to me. I do believe that was quite possibly one of the first times I got a lil scared on a coaster. Since then it doesnt bug me, but everytime i ride i sit on the right side and always see my special little pole. I should probably name it.
