Ride Related Dreams You've Had

[Lori Marie Loud]

I had a dream where the KD Wing Coaster turned out to be a duelling 2 track monstrosity that was taller than I305. I don't remember anything more about it but it was certainly something other than else.

I recently had a dream that, as a minor plot point, had a very small amount of HangTime's drop being retracked for....some reason. Also, the ride was purple and going to be repainted black in the dream.

Hyperia soft opened during a family visit to Thorpe. Here's an overhead view of the layout.

RED: station, lift hill & first drop
ORANGE: non-inverting loop
GREEN: stengel dive
LIGHT BLUE: dive loop
DARK BLUE: outerbanked dive loop
PURPLE: overbanked turn into the quick outerbanked airtime hill into the lake turn
WHITE: brake run

The entire ride was over the lake.



The trains had vest restraints and the whole coaster was gold, but the twisted first drop was just... gone. It wasn't there. Me and my brother were worried and concerned that the coaster would crash and fly off the rails right at the lift disengagement. But we watched a train from the station, and it just went down the drop completely fine as if the track was just invisible. Me and my brother went for the back row, while I told my parents to go for the front row (this involved a longer wait).

The first drop reappeared when I rode. The coaster was pretty insane, with the non-inverting loop, stengel dive & lake turn being the highlights of the ride and the first drop & outerbanked dive loop being notably underwhelming. But when we hit the brakes, my brother felt so sick from the experience that he forcefully exited the vest restraints while they were locked and jumped towards the ground onto a grass hill. I personally enjoyed the coaster, but if my brother was unable to handle the experience, my parents (who had not yet boarded) would NOT be able to handle it. So in desperation I called out to my parents who were waiting for the ride blissfully unaware.

The train progressed further down the brake run after being stopped for a while, until we were at the section of track next to the dive loop, where I was able to escape the restraints and leap into an adjacent modern-ish looking building with huge glass windows, white walls, several floors and a lift. I entered the lift onto the grass hill, then climbed up to the station where I told my parents not to ride who were due to board the next train. My mum accepted that the ride was not of her type, and wanted to watch over my brother anyway, but my dad was insistent on riding. I decided to ride again with him.

Rode Do-Dodonpa but there was so much straight track

Was at Phantasialand and went on F.L.Y, it e-stopped and all of us just broke out of the restraint and left the park (through a way we were definitely were not supposed to)

I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain to ride ORION but woke up before I got on it

I went to Cedar Point to ride Millennium Force but woke up before I got on it again

I went to Knott's but Balder had been relocated to Fiesta Village, didn't ride anything as a I woke up too soon AGAIN

I was at some alternate version of knots where Xcel was themed to rockets...it just straight up when soaring away at the top of the tophat...then came down in a fiery inferno. In a haste to not die, I hid in a version of Fiesta Village that was just like the Morocco pavilion at Epcot. From there I watched a RMC named silver bullet fall to the ground(like the entire structure). Oddly enough, that was the night I had worked up the guts to ride xcelerator since I was going to Knott's the next day. It was down all day, and didn't reopen until last November in real life...kinda spooky ain't it?

That sounds like quite the dream! Dreaming about roller coasters sounds like an adventure in itself.

I've been having quite a few dreams in the past few months about Hyperia. The excitement must be on another level

Some dream where Hurler at KD was strangely a log flume. I was also going to ride Flight Deck with a then-classmate of mine, but I woke up.

Last night I had a dream I was at Alton Towers and rode Galactica. Except it was a mix between a water ride and a coaster. And at the end, you were released from your restraints and went into one of those water slide toilet bowl things. I had a panic attack because I hate that type of water slide, and I couldn’t breathe.

Yeah…that was a really weird dream.

This was just last night. I went to Europa Park, but directly at the entrance was Voltron. Instead of a true station building, you loaded on the brick path like a trolley. Then, it went into the ride's show scene as normal, then completed the rest of the layout, but with an UNGODLY amount of brick head-choppers. I did, however, get the front-right wing seat, which was cool. Then, at the turntable, the spike and backward launch were overly exaggerated, and then the rest of the ride went as normal, but there was no MCBR, only an airtime hill, before some extremely snappy transitions into the final brake run. It was weird but extremely fun. Also, I was ABOUT to ride Blue Fire and Silver Star, but woke up. A frustrating end to a surreal dream.

Alright, I had another a ride related dream. This was actually a while ago but I couldn’t find the thread until now.

In the dream, I visited an experimental amusement park. One of the coasters took you underwater. And I don’t mean under a tunnel. I mean literally completely under water. You had to hold your breath before going under.

What a weird dream. That would be an absolutely horrid idea in real life.

I had a really weird and surprisingly in-depth theme park dream last night that I just had to tell you all about!

To set the scene, I was visiting “Fantasy Island in Skegness” for the first time with my family (well, it started as my nuclear family, anyway…). I put the name in quotation marks because as is usual with dream theme parks, this version of Fantasy Island had a fair few… discrepancies with the real life version.

The day started with stuff that is actually in the real Fantasy Island, with Odyssey and Millennium being on my mind.

Me and my dad initially took our seats on Odyssey. We were on the front row, and I was excited for the ride ahead. When we started ascending the lift hill, I was naturally smitten with being on the front row, and I bizarrely said “we’ve got good weather for it; I’m so glad that we weren’t plagued by weather bad enough to cause the ride to close”… even know there was fog so thick you could hardly see ahead of you, waves crashing over the pier, and wind so strong you could feel the structure shaking! My luck was not to last, however… as when we were near the top, a very loud siren suddenly started going off, with the words “WARNING: Bad weather alert! Activate abort sequence!”. We kept ascending the lift hill for a bit, so me and my dad looked at each other, completely bemused… but then, the ride suddenly dropped backwards back down the lift hill, without any prior warning, and whacked us back into the station at full speed. Thankfully, the ride had the hardest station brakes ever and was able to stop a full speed train in the station in a matter of seconds, and the staff just nonchalantly opened our restraints as though nothing had just happened and said “sorry, the ride’s closed due to weather”.

After I got off Odyssey with my dad, quite a lot else happened. I struggle to piece together the exact sequence of events, as it was a bit of a blur, but I remember quite a few of the different attractions we did and a few of the different things that happened. These include:

• I had some sort of absolute temper tantrum in a random car park somewhere over Odyssey and Millennium being closed due to the weather. My sister was trying to console me, but to no avail; she was saying to me “Don’t worry, Matthew, we can always come back”, but I was angrily sobbing and yelling “No, [sister’s name]; this was my only chance and I BLEW IT!” before sobbing uncontrollably… in the background, Donald Trump was bizarrely there, yelling “This is fake news!” and “We need to build a wall around Fantasy Island!”
• We went in an attraction entitled “Gangsta Granny: The Experience”, ostensibly themed to the David Walliams book Gangsta Granny… which simply consisted of being repeatedly yelled at by a slightly drunk elderly lady eating chips and tomato ketchup and drinking a bottle of whisky. The lady also had a Southern US accent; think along the lines of Meemaw out of Young Sheldon.
• We went in a very long educational dark ride about the D-Day landings… I fell asleep halfway through it and got yelled at by my parents at the end as a result. They called me an “unpatriotic traitor” and “Hitler sympathiser”…
• We went on a ride that somehow had the ability to be a shape-shifting ride system; it started as a junior coaster, shape-shifted into a flying theatre halfway through and then shape-shifted back into a junior coaster at the end. Think along the lines of if The Dragon and Flight of the Sky Lion at Legoland Windsor had a baby and had the ability to shape-shift into one another. On this ride, my nan and grandad, as well as an 88 year old relative who I don’t think I’ve ever seen ride a roller coaster, popped up out of nowhere.
• We went onto a racing mat water slide whose theming was a bizarre hybrid of Minifigure Speedway at Legoland Windsor and VelociCoaster at Islands of Adventure… the ride had the racing lights, Roxy announcements and Team Legends and Team Allstars like Minifigure Speedway, but had a Jurassic World-themed queue, complete with raptors and a Bryce Dallas Howard/Chris Pratt pre-show video, like VelociCoaster. This Minifigure Speedway/VelociCoaster theming hybrid continued into the ride itself, with the ride containing upbeat racing music and announcements punctuated with odd sirens and raptor growls every now and then… the ride was also very short, at probably no more than 10 seconds long.
• We went into an attraction named “Hall of Tories”, which was kind of like a less celebratory version of the Disney classic Hall of Presidents. An animatronic version of each Tory Prime Minister post-2010 stood up and made a short speech, similar to the presidents in the Disney attraction, but towards the end, an animatronic Keir Starmer piped up from the back, started ranting about the Tories’ 14 year record in government and then encouraged the audience to throw foam balls at the animatronic Tories, from a bucket that suddenly appeared beneath the audience’s seats. The animatronic Tories tried to fight back with lines such as “£2,000 more tax under Labour!”, but eventually, the attraction ended with animatronic Starmer and the audience winning against the animatronic Tories.
• We went into a dark ride named “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, ostensibly themed to the Roald Dahl children’s novel of the same name. It claimed to be a “world-class immersive experience”, but was more akin to that AI Willy Wonka event in Glasgow in reality…
• We went to have burgers, and I kept laughing at the numerous typos around and saying I had to post them in TowersStreet’s “Merlin Typos and Grammatical Errors” thread… at this point, my uncle and cousins also appeared out of nowhere.
• To top things off, my entire family randomly became Asian at some point in the dream… when I was getting off a ride and looking for my family, an Asian woman wearing my mum’s clothes started beckoning me over in Mandarin (which I somehow understood…), and I followed along and thought nothing of it!

It’s a while since I’ve had a theme park dream that’s been that much of an acid trip… I forgot just how utterly random and incomprehensible they can be!
