Rides!!!!

Alton Tower's NEW ride is called 'The Smiler' It's full of optical illusions and things that are suppose to make you happy and laugh. When you get of the ride you are meant to feel better than when you came on. It's a 14 loop coaster and travels at 85km!!!!

Thank you girls for your pictures! Yes, theme park rides are very common. Millions of people go on theme park rides every day, but why do we find them so entertaining? Well, according to science research most of us enjoy thrill rides as they bring your wild side out. They give you an extra confidence boost and  faster reaction time for a few minuets after. However, some people don't enjoy them but that doesn't mean they aren't like you or me! It means they don't like theme park rides, the same as you don't like something! Rides are global, in some countries theme park rides are a whole lot bigger and better than others, but rides are still thought as good, whatever they are. If you don't like rides don't worry because it's not weird or abnormal, it's your decision.
