I can remember doing Toyland Tours and Riverbank eye spy back in 1994. But I would have been 12 so I was probably a bit bored on them. At the time though I was too scared to do the Corkscrew. Oh and I remember watching Peter Rabbit on Ice!! Did Drayton Manor a lot more as a kid, we loved the rapids at DM and the Pirate ride.
As an adult in 2001 I did Corkscrew first, decided it wasn't that scary and went on to do Nemesis. I must have seriously got over my fears as we went back in the rain for Air on opening day 2002.
