200 - Space Invader 2

Location : Blackpool, England
Date first rode : July 2004
Still there? : Yes
ECC : Yes
ERS : No

After me cocking up my counts, this has become my 200th and whilst there are many worse out there, it's not the greatest coaster to have for such a landmark, like I really give a stuff anyway. The ride is the original but retracked and with some new trains which combined give a smoother ride than the original. Perhaps the best thing about this ride is that that because the queue line is very enclosed, you can scream down it and it will scare everybody, in the same way you can bang the door knocker on Duel at Alton Towers
