UK Theme Park Challenges Visitors to be Quiet

STV: Thorpe Park, in Surrey, England, is laying down the challenge to rollercoaster junkies on June 15, which will see people take on its newest ride, Storm Surge, which features a spinning life raft enduring a 64ft descent as well as the 100ft vertical drop on SAW - The Ride.

But rollercoaster expert Brendan Walker does not think anybody will be able to brave every rollercoaster in the park without making a sound.

He said: "We are hard-wired to respond to other people's screaming, which causes our levels of arousal to increase.

"With this in mind, going on a rollercoaster without screaming will be an extremely tough challenge. I doubt there is anyone who could go on every ride at Thorpe Park without screaming at least once - including me!"
