Title: alton towers
Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, March 22, 2005, 18:59:39
i think i'm too old now and thus its lost its magic. it used to be such a gay day out.

air was rubbish. nowhere near fast enough.

nemesis was good as usual, as was oblivion.

they've added laser quest style guns to the old haunted house  :shock:

thats all the rides i went on.

No wonder it was crap if you did 3 rides  :-))(

Try the banana boat one (near Nemesis) after a Maccy D's massive sized meal  8)

oh yeah, forgot to mention that we only paid £9 per ticket as they've got a new ride opening on 1st April so are flogging them cheap this month.

i wasn't really interested in any of the other rides. plus we got there at 2.30pm and they all closed at 5 so we had to make the best ones were done first. then we lost motivation for any others.

There's a new one down by the lake, green track, red cars that spin around. That is the scariest fucking ride ever. You should have done that.

saw that, but had recently munched a pizza hut along with my mcdonalds breakfast. i can go on rides like oblivion/nemesis, etc. but that spinny 'coaster, rip saw, and the pirate ship would guarantee vomiting.

Rip Saw  8)  I puked all over the fittest girl in the park \o/

On the plus side, the water jets washed most of it off

I loved the old fashoined roundabouts though OST, the ones were it gets to a certain speed and you still try and speed it up but all yo end up doing it hurting your hands, whilst the fat kid on the roundabout starts slipping off!!  Brilliant times!

The fair used to come to our village every year.  It was magic - 100 times better than Alton Towers.  The most evil bad ass ride they had was called the Octopus.  It took me years before I summoned up the courage to go on it, I think I was 25 at the time!

Thorpe Park is my local Theme Park.  Must admit it used to be crap, but they've got a couple of decent rides now. Collosus is immense and Nemesis Inferno isn't bad either, there are a few other alright rides that just go up and down or around, but personally I prefer the rollercoasters
