Given my druthers I'd have a woodie though.The one at Great Yarmouth has a special place in my heart as it was my first. It's still there - I'll be going on it again in July
Mum went on it when she was pregnant with my sister (although she didn't know it at the time). The story would be better if she had been pregnant with me of course, but that would have been out of season... In those days there was a brake-man on it. Dad taught me that the seat behind him was the best seat, because you got the full benefit of the drops.

I love Nemesis at Alton Towers, because it is fast and furious rather than high. I dislike Oblivion because it is the opposite - one enormous drop and whoosh, it's over.

I really want to go to America to go on rollercoasters!
My bro often brings me back fottage with makes me seethe with envy.
