Roller coasters, they've had their ups and downs but they refuse to go away.

But what roller coasters have you been on and are you a fan of the hump-backed treats?

I think the only one I've ever been on is the Grand National in Blackpool. I didn't like it and have never been on one since.

Let's remind ourselves how that ride goes:

The humps seemed bigger when I was on it.

Yes I like them fine. But I haven’t been on one since I mistakenly had fish and chips and candyfloss right before going on one. At which point it was too late.

I do not like them.

I thought I did, but the last one I went (at the Dom in Hamburg in 1989) was an horrific experience that left me in no doubt that rollercoasters are appalling things.

The only one I vaguely remember (vaguely) liking was the Matterhorn at Disneyland when I was probably about 4.

I think that The Matterhorn is a slow meandering one though.

I knew Nightjar would prefer the teacups.

I've just had a great idea for a thread.

But can I pull i off?

Come to think of it, we might have already done it in some form or other.

I need to think of how to structure and organise it and in what form it needs to appear.
