With Nemesis, The big one and Shockwave been 25 years old now which of the 3 will be removed 1st?
It’s hard to say as it’s really at Drayton and Blackpool it’s still there headline coaster. Nemesis on the other hand is a favourite for the regular theme park fans and we see how it really put Alton Towers on the map and started off the SW brand but the normal GP maybe now see the Wicker-man and the Smiler as the parks headline coasters with the queues been the longest for most of the days where Nemesis queue is usually 15 mins or less on normal opening hours.
With the loss of G-Force it’s the only coaster left for the over 1.1m height and like Nemesis on quiet days it’s been opening later and there had to send half empty trains. The red train in pieces at the back of the pirate adventure building. They also know that if they removed it they wouldn’t be able to build another big coaster in its place as how close the next village is to the park for noise.
Blackpool I not been for 10 years next year but from watching vlogs and reading forums it still gets the biggest queue in the park and many say it’s just a 1 trick pony but fans keep wanting to ride it.
So what do others say on here?
