:woohoo:

going to Alton Towers today

Rachel and I are taking my daughter and her mate (both aged 10) up there to scrae the living cr@p out of them :sick: ... should be a blast

Hopefully the queues wont be too big and we get to do the major rides

Yeah you should get there asap, there's too much to do in one day.

Rita was awesome !!!

I like Hex too.

Usually we try and go to one of the Theme parks at least once a year but this year we havent. Maybe a Big Power trip to Thorpe Park or Alton Towers is called for with a stopover ?

Enjoy it though mate,

Have a great time Dunk.

Don't you worry mate, I'll do my best to run the site with the help of the 'management', run the shop during the busiest half term I've ever seen and sort out where my two missing cylinders have gone in time for Sunday whilst you're swanning around having fun!

Git

Good idea G. Next years getting busy already!

well what can i say...

Rita - awesome acceleration
Nemesis - still one of my favourites
Oblivion - wow

Air - superb !!
Corkscrew - still ok
Spinball Whizzer - weird and jerky but worth doing as its a mix of waltzer and rollercoaster
Flume - the kids got soaked and i was dry as a bone
Rapids - Rachel got soaked - I was dry as a bone

Got every ride in that we wanted and some of them twice

Love it

Glad you had a nice day out. I haven't been in years and would love to go some time........any chance on a double header at Donington? Now that would be a good weekend.
