- The Smiler just above Nemesis
Over the last few weeks there has been two trips to Alton Towers and there is a group of friends which refers to the rides with incorrect names such as calling Nemesis The Big One and Air Infusion. For some reason people at my school are getting rides way too mixed up with others or calling them completely made up names such as calling oblivion 'Da Big Dropper' and putting the word the in stuff related to Alton mixed up loads and some even said let's go down the towers street and on the oblivion and worst of all up the Alton Towers Cathedral by far the worst I heard. I have heard rides exaggerated and with incorrect names too many times in a week but then one started talking to me and my friend about Oblivion putting the in front of it every two seconds.We told I'm it was just Oblivion but ten of his friends started backing him up until we had enough so we took out our maps and showed him that most of the rides don't have the in front of them with the exception of the smiler and the flume. You would not believe how quickly they shut up and went away after that. Feel free to post rides you have heard by wrong names and what they called them. Is it just me that hears it so regularly and gets annoyed by it or is it too common? Post your examples here. I'm fine if it is the odd mistake but i hear it from the same people all the time.
