Anyone going this year? I went last year for the first time, went on everything except the Barney ride... man, I have to try Air out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am definately going this year! I cannot wait to go on the new ride 'Air' Oblivion is wild too! |
||||||||
|
|

If you are going with mates Jarworski, collect the tokens off Cornflakes, when you've bought about 3 boxes (you get one Adult ticket free when you purchase another). They had a similar offer last time I went, it was with Weetabix I think! |
||||||||

We're getting a package trip I think... coach up, two days there, four star Stoke On Trent hotel, just like last year... yippee! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I go every year! It's fantastic - I prefer Nemesis to Oblivion.....and Katanga Canyon is another of my favourites! I usually go up there in June... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We went in August, the weather was perfeck... I like Nemesis and Oblivion equal... everything in the X Sector is amazing... |

Alton Towers? an amusement park of some sort? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep. The best in Britain... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thunder Looper should never have been removed - it was so fast! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
pOgO remembers that one. Do you remember the Worm In The Apple ride? That was her favourite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was in the same league as the mini beast wasn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember one year, some guy had a heart attack on 'The Beast' and they cordened to the area off from the public whilst the ambulance dealt with the situation! I used to like that ride....it was one of those rides that you were never quite sure of whether or not they should've had some form of strap or belt to keep you in your seat!! I used to like the way on some of the drops you'd fly about 6" off your seat! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
She doesn't know I hate those ones where you're not strapped in properly... the viking ship in Oakwood was like that, I went at the back when I was like, 14, and I was flying out of my seat... it made my mate cry as well! |

HAve you been on the rollercoaster in Blackpool? I haven't, I'd love to, but it's a long way to go just for one fairground ride. I'm not keen on Blackpool, we used to go there quite often when we were kids, we lived in a village near Lancaster for about 5 years...and used to go there in the summers! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Apparently it's well high and scary, but also rather "loose" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right at the top it's meant to sway about 50cm either side in high wind - that'd be an experience to say the least... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what the fuck are you guys talking about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Alton Towers is the biggest and best Theme Park in the UK. And in Blackpool they have this rollercoaster that is the tallest/highest in the UK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool. but rollercoasters are well scary. my worst nightmare is falling off one of those. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate the negative-G feeling. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the scariest bit of any rollercoaster is when you are being pulled up the first incline, when you hear that 'clicking' noise! I have heard stories where some people have actually been stuck on rollercoaster....halfway through a loop upside down for a while! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does anyone remember the mouse? It had such sharp turns it had to be take down coz it was causing whiplash! The Thunderlooper was the best ever ride! They had to click you into place and launch you with an almighty twang noise! Nemesis is better than the oblivion but They're both fantastic. The Drum N Bass on the oblivion is ace!!! I'm going on May 1st. Best time to go.. weather is usually great and Theres hardly anyone there!!! Who else is going? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You guys are talking about "The Big One" Thats a great one too!!! Worth going just for it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the mouse ruled. you used to think you were going to fall off thedge. magic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still haven't ever been :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You really ought to go it's great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

sorry to bring up old topics, but I missed most of this one (yet I remeber itl how bizarre ?)....... Anyway, .........yes the apple ride was the same sort of ride as the beast, Yes they should have kept thunderlooper (it had no 'over the shoulder' bits, AAARRRGGGHHHH !), the mousetrap was dodgy as fuck - V wobbly and the best coaster I've ever been on was the Khumba (not sure on spelling) in Bush Gardens - Florida And that's all i have to say about that |

I haven't been to Alton Towers, though I went to American Adventure last year... And did a bungee jump too! :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The ride 'AIR' was amazing, absolutely amazing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not meant to be very scary, do you agree ? e.g, nemesis is fun & oblivion is scary *shivers* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't think it was that scarey! Nemesis is by far still the best! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we got a picture on it and Jar looks amazing !!!! I'll try and get him to scan it in work, you'll love it !!! |
||||||||

Hehehehe! |

Alton Towers isn't my cup of tea really Call me boring but eating fat & sugar all day and shitting yourself on scary rides seems rather stupid and whatever day you go it will always rain when you get there, then when you're about to leave the sun will come out and its costs about 300 pounds for a ticket well, ok, i used to enjoy the rapids and the fruit machines and the cork screw was ok, but i havent been for about 15 years |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess it hasnt changed much either |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
It was his first ever 'up-side-down' rollercoaster ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Alton Towers has a public footpath running through it and if you walk from the village of Alton you don't have to pay. In September magic mushrooms grow on the grass there and it is pretty cool to go on rides all messed up. |
||||||||
|

Alton Tower has been amazing the last 2 years, and it's pretty cheap. It's only about £12 to get in, pluss it's full of pubs now too !! If you go in about august the weather's perfect too. Best weekend you'll ever have ! (I love alton Towers =oD) |
||||||||

|
LOVE alton towers ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It is good to go for the fire works but if it is raining they close most of the rides. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
12 quid? and the rest it was 20 quid in 1988 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only £12 to get in???? Damn I'll go then!!!!!!! Is it on weekends too???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
