Scariest roller coaster in the world

I have been on the Scariest roller coaster in the world.

Is it the nemesis at Alton Towers? you ask or one of those big buggers in the states? No it's in Barry Island pleasure park the most oxymoronic location in the world.

It was a fair old time ago when I was a student in Cardiff Uni so they may have scrapped it. The reason it was so scary wasn't because it went massively high or bewilderingly fast. It just made you feel like you were going to die at any moment. The 'safety' bar didn't fix down, it held you in place by dint of being a little bit heavy & there were no high sides to the car you rode in adding to the feeling of looseness and it looked rusty and worn. The icing and cherry on the cake of doom was it was being run by Wales' finnest, the sort of knuckle dragging doombrain that doesn't inspire confidence in running anything more mechanical than a spoon.

We went on again after a quick hit on a bong just to add to the fear ;)

I remembered feeling like that on the Big One at Blackpool years ago
I may have just been (more of) a pussy back then.
