    Why are we talking about smoking and vaping? It says on the signs to not do it in the queues so people shouldn’t do it. I don’t care if you choose to vape that’s your own decision but the park make the rules clear that you shouldn’t do it in queues. If you’re seen breaking this rule then in my...

    Not that they could ever do this anyway and get away with it because if they could travellers day wouldn’t exist

    Alton Towers vs. Thorpe Park: Strongest Top 3

    Well I’m going to put the coasters in my personal order and then figure out which park has the better lineup. 1. Hyperia 2. Nemesis/Smiler 3. Wicker Man 4. Saw 5. Colossus 6. Inferno 7. Swarm 8. Stealth 9. Rita 10. Oblivion 11. Galactica 12. Th13teen So judging on the fact most the towers...

    Alton Towers vs. Thorpe Park: Strongest Top 3

    No. No. No. Not having Hyperia in the top 3 is worse than not having Smiler in towers top 3

    Alton Towers vs. Thorpe Park: Strongest Top 3

    I can’t vote on this because I disagree with the rides picked. I understand Swarm and Stealth are regarded as 2 of the best at the park but I personally think they’re the worst 2. Saw and Colossus may be a bit rough but at least they’re more interesting. Stealth is over in seconds and has...

    I think it might be a delayed response to the positive g force prior. For example Ritas 1st and 2nd hill you’re going up into the hill after positive g force. Same with Saw you go into the immelmann after pulling out the drop

    Yes that’s correct. I can think of 3 elements where my vision has dropped a bit. Nemesis helix- positive g force Saw Immelmann- negative Rita first hill- negative

    Positive and negative g force can affect people differently too. High positive g force I can deal with pretty easy but negative not so much for some reason. Any time I’ve greyed out on a ride it tends to be when the ride is travelling fast upwards. I’m assuming they’ll be an explanation for that

    It’s not about us enthusiasts the important thing is public perception. Most of us support towers no matter what so our opinion is irrelevant

    The future of winter season events

    So as you are all aware Towers run a Christmas and February half term event. The current lineup in both events is fairly limited and mainly focused on family areas such as CBeebies and David walliams. Do you reckon Towers will ever look into reintroducing big rides like they did in February many...

    I mean the fact it can’t operate normally in the rain like most coasters in the world is a problem

    Either way it’s coming back and they’re willing to change queue routes to fit it in. This gives me confidence they might look at it on other rides. The 2 seaters don’t really need them but I wouldn’t complain if they somehow implemented it on Rita and Th13teen again. I actually enjoy Rita but...

    Which makes single rider absolutely perfect when it’s raining. Can only run 3 but most the time it’s 2 so a single will be on nearly every car

    So in other words yes it is opening 2 days after your yearly trip @tactic 😂

    As much as this is a good thing, have they not considered looking into single rider for Oblivion too. I know for Nemesis there isn’t space for a single queue but Oblivion I’m sure there is

    Yes but I heard somewhere that sponsorships are coming back so I don’t want any **** like Galactica sponsored by Nasa

    Ye suppose it’s a good thing in a way. Can’t live in a fantasy world going to towers every week forever. I mean you know it’s bad when you get withdrawal symptoms after a week of not going

    My pass expires today. Going into full time work in a couple weeks now my degree is done. I won’t be going more than once a year now like most people. Can’t lie it’s depressing
