There is also one UK park that has a wooden rollercoaster that will only let adults in when they are with a child! So I have never been on that ride!

The Bobs at Belle Vue put me off Roller Coasters for life- that was terriffying!

I never rode the Bobs. It went in 1971 and I was too young to ride, or have an intrest in riding. From what I understand from others it was very rough indeed with some very poor sharp transitions, the train did not help as each section only had two wheels that were under every seat so you would feel every tiny bump. (Apart from the lead car that had four wheels)  The result so I have been told, was a bone jaring (and sometimes braking!) coaster that threw you about in a seat with no belts, only a simple bar to hang on to. 
I can see how that would be terriffying, it would scare me, so I can fully understand.
