    Default Chessington - Rameses Revenge

    Looks like it's goodbye to this legend that has been around since 1995. It closed down a few days ago.

    Soon to be replaced by a drop-tower ride.

    You'll never catch me on a rollercoaster. Went on a pirate ship once, nearly died.

    'Ramases Revenge' sounds like a particularly nasty stomach bug, which is what I'd have if I went anywhere near one of those rides.

    Probably the same this was at Skegness. My mum's partner at the time told me to go to the back as it was not as bad there. Bastard was tricking me.

    I was told the exact same thing! A few years later Anita persuaded me to go on a bungee catapult with her, and it was the exact same effect. She loved it, but not as much as she enjoyed me screaming like a girl that my guts were dropping out of my arse. Sadist. I got my own back the next day by treating her to a 130mph pillion ride on my ZX-9R
