SamL Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 I haven't been for a few years now. I'm hoping to get down in the summer, doubt I'll manage it though. I didn't think Rita was that great, it was OK but I preferred Air.

I didn't think Rita was that great, it was OK but I preferred Air. They could put another 20 rides in that place but nothing will be as good as Nemesis & Oblivion.
Benjani Posted 15 April 2008 Author Posted 15 April 2008 I always liked the black hole, but didn't they knock it down? Looking forward to corkscrew, and nemisis.
Maybes Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 They could put another 20 rides in that place but nothing will be as good as Nemesis & Oblivion. Correct.
lavrentis Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 I always liked the black hole, but didn't they knock it down?Looking forward to corkscrew, and nemisis. That black hole when it stopped at the end bloody almost killed me, and it has been knocked down. My favourite is the Nemesis though.

The Stig Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 I'm actually in love with Alton Towers. I adore Rita.
Alexikokopops Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 I can get in for£22 instead of £33. The fun of working for Virgin Media Nemisis is on the money
hairy Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 Oblivion stopped just at the top where it tilts you forward when I was on it. I was there for a good ten minutes shitting myself. I cried for my Mummy.
Raj Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 I can get in for£22 instead of £33.The fun of working for Virgin Media Nemisis is on the money You BOY! Where's my FREE Virgin Media package and phone from your sister. It hasnt arrived yet? Oblivion stopped just at the top where it tilts you forward when I was on it. I was there for a good ten minutes shitting myself. I cried for my Mummy. I went a coupe of years ago and was literally forced onto the Nemesis(Thats the one that goes down into the tunnel bit innit?) well at the top when it looks down and you know whats coming next,i did actually pray!!!

The one that takes you up to about 10000000000ft and then drops you?

Cheers...its a right bummer especailly when it's just on the decline and hangs for a few secs as if to say"look at thi fcuking mumma...cry you bastard..CRY!!!"

Newcastle_Fox Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 Two for one voucher for Alton Towers (Valid until 31st May 2008)
Asha Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 Went last week, for me Air is the best ride, just so relaxing.
Asha Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 Also, don't go on the new ride Charlie. It's so shite it's like the pirate adventure at drayton manor to start with, and then you stand on a circle and it vibrates in a shit and unsatisfying way. I was forced on by my mate, convincing me that it would 'get sick'. It didn't. At one time, I forgot who the ride was aimed for and said (loudly), 'what the fook d'ya drag me on here for, it's total bollocks' on which i recieved evils from all the middle aged moms who cared for their kids enough to be seen on with them. In fact, me and me mate were so embarrased that i pretended to be his retarded brother so we'd look less stupid. We also waited at the ride exit until closing time to make sure we weren't seen coming out of a ride, which in general, was aimed at people half my height and who still suck their thumb.
potter3 Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 I've never been.Drayton Manor is good though Not since they got rid of that snake thing
Tommeh Posted 15 April 2008 Posted 15 April 2008 Go every year, love the place. Make sure you go on the water rides when it pisses it down, all part of the fun. Alao good if you stay till the park closes, say 6ish we did last year and just went on nemisis must have been 10 times in a row non stop as there was no queue. Best ride is Rita for me though, nothing can prepare you for the speed as it takes off!

It's all about the single rider queue for Nemisis, you can go on a billion times in a row even during busy periods
