Just to say I went to Winter Wonderland at the mellennium Dome on sunday, it's only there for december. They had a compact inverted coaster which was far better than it looked the only thing I didn't like was at the end the brakes stinked of smoke. They had various other rides including Vertigo, Drop Zone, and a ride simmilar to Samuri at chesington. They also had a reverse bungee, which was ?????????10 a go. all in all a good day out and worth going as it's a one off. It's open until 31dec. See www.winterwonderlanduk.com

the ol' pinfari xpress. Looks to me very much like a standard SLC but alot smaller. I think also an SLC looks alot smoother 4.2 g's on that thing ouch. At my local park there's a Pinfari coaster, and its painful. Also the g'force it pulls for such a tiny coaster is amazing.

Although i think ill give the millenium dome a miss this year. Im sure it will be back next year, bigger and better

mindbender in that canada mall pulls an unreal 6.5 g's. talk about pain! It would be a great experience though. Back on topic, sounds like fun, but I live in the U.S., so...

yes it was a pinfari, but didn't find it painful at all it was very smooth.

IF397, I knew that comment wouldn't slide past you.[:D] G's can be painful though, depending on what kind of a ride it is. Usually, they're just fun.
