the ones at travelling fairs do have a bit of an unpleasant rep... underage tit gropery in the dark and such. i had a donkey rub off some twat in a frankenstein mask, not scary just mildly painful. i've been in the "ghost house" at alton towers, less rapey but still shit |

Unusual but. Great choice 👍 When we got good at the game on snes we made a sport of ridiculing others beating them with every character, especially with dhalsim cause hes so slow. Yoga flame! |

On the third date with my now-wife, I took her to Porthcawl. We went on the ghost train, which predictably, as an adult, was tame and utterly non-scary. Just as we were emerging through the final set of doors to outdoors, one of the ride operators, who had presumably been hiding in the shadows just behind the doors; simultaneously leapt onto the back of our car, made a scary monster noise and touched me on the shoulder. Completely involuntarily, I roar and throw my elbow back, as I twist around to see what it is. I was absolutely mortified, guy has fallen off the back of the car and is staggering dazed at the edge of the tracks holding his nose and moaning. I hop out and run up to check he's okay, apologise, etc. his mate who is operating the ride is creased up. Hit guy is blinking a lot and eyes are watering, but mercifully, his nose isn't broken. As it calms down they're both really sanguine and friendly about it and say that it's rare that someone lashes out like that, but that it does happen and it's even rarer when it does that it connects properly like that. Date quips to guys that she's never going to try to jump out to scare me in the house. Thinking about it, it was a genius place to hide to give someone a scare, the daylight signalling the end of the ride, people finally let their guard down, etc. |

i was kind of expecting a terrible accident to follow up that hit. |

Not on the ghost train, but there was a double fatality on a rollercoaster in that same fairground when I was a kid. It was still open in high winds when it should have been closed and a boarding arch over the track made of ply blew down and killed two school children from another school. A couple of kids in my school, who were in the carriage behind, managed to duck down enough that they 'only' got horrifically disfigured by it. |
