New for 2007 is suspended looping coaster INFUSION, an exhilarating infusion of the elements, soars to amazing heights and takes riders through a whirlwind water experience to amaze and astound the senses.

Having spent a week working in Blackpool i thought why not give this a try
The discription of how it should have been sounded okish how bad could this be :eek: it was a bad bad experience my senses where screeming GET ME OFF THIS NOW. Having thought my life was over I now know this is an experience I will never try again.
Have you ever done anything once and know never again! Keep it clean :shock:

Hi sweetcheeks

You won't catch me on one of those things, no fear. I feel ill just on one of the simple whirling things let alone one of those upside down death-defying jobs!

Had to check and, yes, Infusion is the old TraumaTizer from Southport Pleasure Beach.

I googled 'infusion blackpool', go on try it. Click on the first link, it's a 'wet and dry' *scratches head* swingers club :eek: I don't know about trying it only once but you've got more chance of getting me on the rollercoaster (nil) than there. :unibrow:

I went on that last week on the day it was officially opened by Vernon Kay.
I loved it!
But the cameras are in the wrong place as you can hardly see on side of the car.

I love me rollercoaster rides, i do.

I love rollercoasters - I went to the closing night of Alton Towers years ago and kept going round and round on Nemesis until closing time finally came - no queues, and in the dark - brilliant :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

But I hate the rides which suspend you upside down. Maybe from an experience on one ages ago when I was certain the restraint thing wasn't locked properly :eek:

Smelling tripe was bad enough. It smells like rotting pigeon muck. The dog can keep it all to himself...

06-18-2007, 01:04 PM
I agree, it does smell like rotten pidgeon muck, tastes worse. My gran used to make it years ago, cooked in milk. She said to me and my brother that it was lovely, she lied. I was best friends with the loo for ages hahaha

I used to say I would eat anything except tripe. A few years ago I was in a Puerto Rican neighbours house and she was cooking, the smell was wonderful, I asked what it was and she said "Mondongo, have some". I tried it and it was delicious I asked what was in it and she said"Pigs feet and tripe", I have eaten it a few times since and enjoyed it. :PDT_Piratz_26:

When I first came to the islands, I was invited by a Phillipino family for a luau.. (BBQ).
They cooked up all traditional dishes from their homeland..

Well, one looked like BBQ meat.. and so I started eatting it.. It had a strange taste??? Not like any BBQ meat I ever tasted before...

Turned out to be meat curd in the Blood of the poor beast.. YUCK.. never ever again!!!!!!!!

A bloke from Kilkenny went to see his doctor saying enough was enough after his wife had just given birth to their 9th child. Told there was a procedure called a vasectomy that would fix the problem but there was a waiting list, he asked if there was a quicker alternative. The doctor suggested he put a firework in a beer can and held it to his ear for 10 seconds. Protesting that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the cutlery drawer but he didn't think that would work, the doctor assured him that it would and to give it a go. Back home, he lit a firework, put it in a beer can and held it to his ear where he began counting 1,2,3,4,5 at which point he placed the can between his legs so he could continue counting on the other hand.... This procedure also works in Newcastle, Birmingham and parts of Essex.

In fact I don't even like being 5 foot 8 inches ! If the Corpy built the pavements a bit closer to my bum,,,,,,,,,,, I would not complain. lol

Diane, I did the big yin too about fourteen years ago. I was with a party of student doctors and I didn,t want to look scared or too old for such things so had a go.

I thought I lost my specs on the first fall down they shot off my face and never saw a thing the rest of the ride (mainly because I had my eyes closed shut)

Found my specs at the end but you should have seen the photo of me at the end of the ride. I looked a right ninny haha

I made the mistake of trying to climb up the Statue of Liberty carrying a heavy case, and decided to give it up after a few steps. Also went down the Catacombs in Paris and didn't much like that experience either... too much walking! Feeling claustrophobic didn't help either. Below is though a photo of me down in the Catacombs. . .

I hate fairground rides - anything that moves basically !!

My son talked me into going on a ride called the 'Himalaya' - - you sit in a car, a bit like a bob-sleigh type of thing - and it goes very fast around a track which is on a slope and has hills & dips .. the car goes faster and faster and swings from side to side ! :eek: :eek:

I kept my head down almost between my knees for the whole duration and gripped so tight to those safety bars - I thought I was gonna' die !! :eek:

NEVER AGAIN ! :shock:

I'll stick to the 'Bobby Horses !' or the 'Cup & Saucer' .. ( I don't even like them much !) :rolleyes:
