      Other way around for me - shitting myself in the queue but loving the feeling once I'm sat down. That's what forced me to walk out the nemesis queue, and I still regret it.

      I agree with you on safety being the No.1 priority, because for them to open the park anyway despite the outbreak would just be a complete and reckless disregard to our public health and wellbeing, not to mention how much more the virus would have spread... it just doesn’t bear thinking about.

    Video doesn't do it justice with the speed you're hurtling down and around corners at! Love it.

    To anyone who’s going on it the first time I went on the first time today and omg! It was amazing! You get butterfly’s when your in the queue and waiting but when it starts I legit felt like I was in a pov! Since I’ve been watching them! It does feel faster then it looks tho! But it’s amazing
