Rush cannot really do anymore high swings in a sequence, it is currently running on it's longest setting of 4 full
height swings, which is pretty good for the queue lengths at the moment. It doesn't have any longer sequences programmed
into it, and so is not capable of longer sequences. It's a good ride, if you over do the high swings I feel it will
loose its charm. Rush is brilliant as it is. =)

I know I've given my opinion on Rush already, but I'm feeling a bit reminissent, so lets go for my memory of my first
ride. In 2006 when I got to Thorpe I saw the sign displaying the unavailable rides, and alas there was Rush, among
other. My initial thought, 'oh well, it's just a swing, I can't wait to get on Slammer.' But, Slammer wasn't as good as
I expected, so after a few other rides, we found Rush open. I was very unexcited about it really. Just a swing. But once
it was going, I ate my words. The feeling and force of Rush is brilliant. I loved every minute, the fly by's just inches
off the ground at over 40mph, the airtime floaters on swing B (ejector swing A), everything was brilliant. It was
certainly the high point of my day, and it was only after my visit I realised I had found my new favourite all round
ride. Rush, 2 years later and with over 25 more coasters in my count still has my favourite ride title and is still
better than any coaster I have ridden. Fantastic!

stealth.thorpe, once again your wrong. This does deliver fun airtime(or is it hangtime?) and the hight of it is a
thrill itself. you were probably too busy sulking to realise this

I'm in the minority here and say that it is complete and utter rubbish. Airtimeless, boring and I have more fun on a
swing in my local park (more airtime too) 2/10

My first ever "big" ride. Mind numbingly amazing. I love the feeling whilst you're in the air... no other ride can offer
that experience.

On the part of this ride were you are facing the sky, look up. If you are on the right side you will see stealth. but it
look upside down. and it gives a grate feeling

I absolutely loved this. When you go up on your back all you can see is the sky so you get a sense of inverting. Hanging
forwards at the top is brilliant too.

Rush is brilliant. It is undoubtably the main reaon i visit Thorpe Park. Rush is, for many reasons one of the best flats
i have ever ridden. It provides a fun, fast-paced, excellent ride. Rush has everything for everyone. It isnt super fast,
or scary, it gives an amazing fun ride worth every minute of often 60 mins plus queue. (or every penny of the £3 fast
track) This ride is 11/10, and is only beaten by one other flat, the super booster at Brighton.

Yes, it could be a bit longer, but I still have a good laugh with friends whilst on it making one of my favourite flats.
Looking down at the grounds is awesome too.

I enjoyed it. Avoiding the pun but it did give a big 'Rush' as it were. Short cycle though

This ride was pretty crappy. Even at full height it seemed rubbish. Then after a grand total of two swings at full
height it completely dies. I'm not really a huge fan of swing type rides anyway, but Rush is probably the worst I've
been on.

omg this ride is gr8! at first i was scared to go on it as i hate pirate ships... and it basically did a simular thing!
but omg it was incredible, went on it loads after... a tip from me would be to look above your head as you swing...
sensational upside down views lol!

Great ride. Very high and thrilling; it's just a shame it's so short. The only reason I can't give this ride a 10.

Very high and fast, I especially like the fact that the restraints hold only your waist. But the cycle is way to short
to apreciate it. 8/10
