Let me begin with expressing the fact that I am not saying this list is at all realistic to return because really it isn\u2019t! It\u2019s just a few rides which I would love to ride again or experience one more time. Without anymore waffling let\u2019s have a chat shall we?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

I feel this is probably one of the most realistic ones of this list. Personally, I\u2019d love to have another ride on X again! I adored this theme a lot. I know the coaster stills stands but it\u2019s current skin\/theme isn\u2019t something which I rate. Whereas the rave was fab!!!! It was the perfect way to break up the day from horror themed & thrills!\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Of course an unrealistic one. But I\u2019d love to have at least another years worth of riding! I feel I visited during one of the busiest days whilst The Flume was open so I weren\u2019t able to embrace the number of re-rides I had hoped. Plus I\u2019m a sucker for any log flume so it just makes sense really. But by all means I would not change for the world, so the flume in a different location haha!<\/span><\/p>\n

Again I feel I never quite embraced this ride enough. I was late to the party but I\u2019d love to have another few rides on it. The soundtrack is something I miss a lot and the real uplifting atmosphere! I always feel really saddened by the fact we lost this theme. But again I love Gruffalo too.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

It was & is my number one flat ride in the UK. I\u2019ve never experienced anything THAT<\/strong> intense before or since in my life! It was terrifying in every possible way but I loved it so much. The fact when you visit Thorpe Park you can still see it, just adds salt to the wound really!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Since becoming a theme park enthusiast and learning of the history from Alton Towers. This has always been that ride me & Ant always say we wished we experienced! I\u2019m not even sure what exactly it is about this ride that looks so appealing but it does. I\u2019d love to have experienced this!<\/span><\/p>\n

What UK rides do you wish you got to experience or wish you could have return for one year only? Let us know! <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
