Thrill level is a very subjective thing
@Ethan; like
@Rick and
@pluk have both said, what’s thrilling to one person may not be thrilling to another. People find different things scary, and some people might favour a different type of force compared to others. And not to mention; thrill level is a very subjective opinion!
A factor that I don’t believe has been mentioned yet, however, is in response to the bolded in this quote of yours:
Thrill levels on a ride aren't an opinion they're a fact. Everyone experiences the same ride the same way
With regard to the bolded, I don’t think that’s necessarily true.
Roller coasters, particularly woodies (as we’re talking about Wicker Man), can be
very variable. Believe me, speaking from my own experiences, a ride can vary to a surprising extent between seats, between trains, between days, between times of day; you name it, it can vary how a coaster is riding! For example, when someone rides Nemesis, they might be riding it first thing in the morning on a freezing cold day, when it hasn’t warmed up, where it’s crawling through the elements, whereas they might be riding Wicker Man at the end of a long Scarefest day when it’s just rained, where it’s absolutely hauling!
Not to mention that factors with the person themselves influence it too! I know it sounds strange, but different people can perceive forces differently to one another. It’s due to the way our brains are wired, and it can also be down to circumstance. For instance, someone who is fully hydrated and has had 8 hours of sleep could perceive forces differently to someone who’s barely drunk and has had barely any sleep.
My point is; thrill level is very subjective for all kinds of reasons. What one person thinks is thrilling won’t necessarily be thrilling to another.
Well in that case I think Blue flyer is the most thrilling roller coaster in the uk
Fair enough; I won’t argue with you on that one! I don’t personally agree based on
my experiences, but I haven’t had the same experiences on it as you!
