^Thank you With the bit that you didn't understand I meant what does the difference feel like when your legs are in the car like with Saw, Colossus and Stealth as opposed to ones like Nemesis Inferno and The Swarm where they aren't.

Hi. So, I just quickly signed up to ask a few questions. I'd usually just go on Yahoo Answers but I'm guessing you all know a lot more about roller coasters and Thorpe Park than the people on that probably do. I've gone to Thorpe Park a few times since I was younger, but only recently have I actually started to go on the rides.. (sounds strange I know, but I find watching them fascinating). I went with a friend, and she is up to go on anything. We went June last year, and are planning to go next month on the 19th, which is a monday, first question, do you think it'll be packed? Obviously it's gonna be busy but I mean like properly packed. When we went last year, I decided we should try Detonator first as it looked pretty tame, all it does it go up and down.. I was obviously wrong about that, and have vowed never to go on it again. During the rest of the day, we went on Vortex, Zodiac, Quantum, Logger's Leap, X:\No Way Out, Saw - The Ride, and Colossus. Colossus was the first ever ride that I went on that goes upside down, so I pretty much threw myself in, the deep end there. I was a nervous wreck queuing for Saw, but I absolutely loved it when I was on it. Colossus, I was also a wreck queuing up for, but I was terrified on it, as well, and I've come to the conclusion that it's because I felt a lot more restrained and safer on Saw, than I did on Colossus. So another question is what are the restraints like on Nemesis Inferno, Stealth and The Swarm? I need to hold on to something or I'll freak. In fact one of the rides that I found the scariest was Logger's Leap, down to the no restraint thing. Also, what is the difference between a rollercoaster with a car (I don't know if that's the right name for them) like Colossus and Saw, as opposed to one like Nemesis Inferno and The Swarm. Do they feel a lot different? The last thing that is bothering me is the beginning bit of The Swarm, where it goes up... (I do know what the thing is called but I can't remember the word) how long does it take to get to the top, because I have a fear of heights, and if it goes really slow, I may die... (not literally obviously lol) Sorry for all of the questions, and you may be wondering why I even bother going to theme parks when I obviously appear to be a bit of a control freak but when I'm there I love them.... Thank you
