Don't avoid anything mate- it's all excellent.
Save the water rides till last because you do get bloody soaked!

Have you ever been there before??? If not then i say go on them all. Air is the biggest pile of shit ever and should never have been built. Spinball Whizzer is pretty ace. Nemesis = Nuff said  Oblivion = As Above Try the new Rita Queen of Speed ride. Not been on it myself but goes from 0 - 60 in 2.5 seconds. Also try the little rides too like Hex and the few by Oblivion. |

Also, get in early for a few of the bgger ones and get some fast-track tickets- it's cuts the queue time by at least an hour |

I always start off with the Black Hole, it's a good way to ease yourself in. Fairly calm ride, but pitch black.
Agree, Air is cack.
Oblivion and Nemesis kick arse.

Totally agree that air is pants. Nemesis was the best coaster, followed by oblivion - which is great but is aver a bit too quickly.
Good tip on the fast track tickets. I guess Rita will have the biggest queue being new. Saw that Rita was now rated as #1 ride by park goers, the first time in years that Nemesis has been dethroned.
At least you are going mid week out of school holidays, should be fine.

I went when I was really little but didnt go on any rides as I was too small, tbh can see myself competing with the others and ended up being very sick.

yeah which should mean queuing times should be well down. Probably at most, 30 mins for the big rides. |

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

Save the water rides till last because you do get bloody soaked! I always go on them first then ride the coasters to dry out. |

Nah Ash, just do as Si says, it's the best way, if the weather is decent you'll dry out in no time.
