I was never brave enough to do it as a kid. probably still wouldn't do it. The closest i got was the little sky screamer the hills has a long time ago.. lol trouble is it wasn't very secure and i kept falling out of the restraints. :O good job i was able to hold on tight and it wasn't big.. lol
Although a similar looking attraction, the Sky Screamer was nowhere near as good, in my opinion.
The swinging and sweeping feeling of The Tempest added to the excitement and the lack of over the shoulder restraints added an extra dimension of fear too.
The Sky Screamer on the other hand felt very cramped and it was more of a controlled, slow rotation than an increasing swing.
Was always a great thrill for me! That few seconds of dangling upside down was great! And the tinkling of change falling through the bars!
Close my eyes and I hear it now, Josh!

Sky Screamer certainly felt like a kiddie version, but it's was quite fun at the time.
As a kid I remember there being a rumour going round our school that someone had died on it and I was too scared to go on it.
Obviously now I realise it was just a silly rumour.
I never went on the Voyager either. But Tempest instantly reminds of PWH, Voyager reminds me of a fairground ride.
