Fair enough, I assumed ( not knowing the back story ) that Tom was suggesting I should get a life for not knowing how regularly the issue of Air's tunnel is brought up here, which I thought a bit cheeky. As that wasn't the case I apologise Tom . :-[

I'm quite happy with the life I already have thank you Tom but I shall take your advice on board, there's nothing more important to me than the opinion of a 17 year old I've never met on an internet forum. ;)

..and muddy if you take the shortest route back towards X Sector over the grass. Has anyone had any luck with the Perks Machine for pass holders inside the turn styles this season ? It's been switched off both days I've tried it and the gate staff didn't seem to know why.

It's not just me then ? Good. ;) I see what you mean, six pages worth , I'll work my way through them. :D

Three of us, and I was given a voucher to be exchanged for three fast passes on our next visit. Made up for the Perks Machine being switched off Sunday and yesterday.

Do something, anything, with the indoor section of Air as you first leave the station towards the lift hill. It just looks like part of a nasty inner city underground car park and annoys me far more than it probably should ! Ideally it would be great to have a smoke machine in there to make it...

Yup, nipped into Guest services on the way out and blagged a fast pass each for next visit without any issues at all, I know it doesn't cost them anything to give them out but it's still a nice gesture. It's not like I was in the queue very long anyway.

Perhaps Alton Towers should have employed Goodfellows instead of Gerstlauer to build the ride, maybe it would be a little more reliable. I made it as far as the air gates this afternoon before the whole thing ground to a halt and was evacuated. I was like some sort of ride jinx today, I broke...

I managed two rides today and can't really comment on the better/worse than last year thing 'cos I only rode it once last year. But I can say I really enjoyed it. I got front row early in the day then three rows back late on and didn't experience anything I'd consider too rough or unpleasant...

Good, thanks for that, I'm pleased to hear it's not my imagination or that my pain threshold has worsened exponentially over the closed season ! I'm just amazed that the ride quality (that I experienced) can be so different compared to late last year. I know Infusion has a bad reputation and I...

I rode Infusion today. Yes, yes I know, it's a Vekoma SLC and everyone hates them and I deserve everything I got, blah, blah, blah ! But to be honest I don't mind them, I rate Kumali, enjoy Odyssey and rode Infusion late last season and found it to be a decent ride, in fact my eldest son and I...

Well that's me out then ! :'(

I already have a phobia when it comes to drop towers, but that pic of that Indian thing has pushed me from phobia to all out terror ! I know there are lots and lots of people in India and the poor have a hard time but surely life isn't so cheap that anyone is ever tempted to ride that ! :o

Re: Recent Problems In The Ukraine. It might be the end of the world but looking on the bright side if Putin is determined to chuck everything he has at those crazy plucky Ukranianianians at least there'll be a few less ignorant Russians spoiling my stay at the Portaventura hotel in June. ;D

I really wanted to like G-Force, I really did. That camel back looks absolutely awesome but those stupid restraints kill what should be some excellent air time. The lift hill is a poorly thought out gimmick and an uncomfortable one at that, and the self closing tendency of the bars is really...

Re: Alton towers busses not on there website? The Derby - Crewe service is one of my regular routes, in fact I worked the last train through to Crewe last night and left the train on the carriage shed and came back to Nottingham in a taxi. We used to work it as a Nottingham - Manchester...

Twenty minutes on that and I realise why I'm a train driver and not a roller coaster designer ! :-[

I'm also in the situation of buying two of my MAPs with Tesco vouchers and paid extra for the unlimited drinks. I think it was an extra £2 each which in real money is six to eight pounds I suppose so I'm not gonna be too happy if all I get is a cup that would only cost £2 to buy anyway. On the...

They should keep an eye on those vehicles while they're parked there or they'll end up as extra theming for Swarm.
