There’s no polite way to put it, but Laura is nut’s about rollercoasters. She’s on them in her lunch break and would ride them all weekend if she were able to. A season pass holder to the Palace Pier in her adopted hometown of Brighton, it’s fair to say she may have even moved there just to be close to the fun fair at the end of the pier. Either way she’s on first name terms with the operators of the rides, and often request for them to be made to go faster.

On here bucket list is a world tour of rides and theme parks across the globe. Although the thing that sparked her fascination and interest, were last century steam powered rides mostly powered by traction engines. She has a date with the Blackpool’s Big One in her future and has already concurred Chessington World of Adventure and past her driving test at Lego Land. However arguably the countries most famous theme park Alton Towers is yet to have Laura cross its threshold, although by the time this episode is aired who knows. A serious fan of fun fair rides and an adrenalin junkie, she explains her fascination, what her favourite rides are, what she likes and get from going on the same rides again and again. She also mentions the ride she hates, which is a little surprising.

Tanya and Rodney also have a couple of anecdotes they share about their own thrill-seeking adventures, as well as their own scary ride experiences. As always there are laughs a plenty in this entertaining episode of a subject not too often mentioned in everyday conversation. None the less it’s fascinating and revealing chat about the thrill seeking benefits of scaring the crap out of yourself.
