Woodland walk - is this open now and if so where does it lead to ?

Hey Guys Can you get out at the exit near the Roller Coaster Restaurant to get back to the Hotel ? If so from what time can you use that exit ? Thanks

We went for... House of monsters - 3:30pm Three normal mazes - 5pm The Welcoming- 8pm Should be a good night :) Thanks for the help.

Do you start queuing at your maze time or do you queue planning in your start time ? confused :)

Hi All Never done the scare mazes at Alton Towers and I was wondering what times to book for the best experience ? Are the three main Scare mazes all inside ? Meaning it doesn't matter what time of day you do them they are going to be the same "dark" experience ? Is the new one inside or...

Thanks for the suggestions :)

Hi All I get a pass out each year from the wife to bugger off and do something without her and the kids and I am going to use it on European theme parks this year. So if you had to choose one or two (two must be in traveling distance) which ones would you go for :) What's the best :D Cheers

The kids are banned from Battle Galleons... I went on it not realising you look like you literally went for a swim in the lake once you get off :D Ice Age is alright once and then pointless. Heave Ho is a nice ride but its a bit boring. And if I wanted to go to a sea life centre we would :)

The freak show was a huge hit with my daughters (2 & 6) and lots of other kids. Freaky not scary. Perfect...

My 6 year old daughter has been on Thirteen and Sonic but found them a bit too extreme. She has really out grown Cbeebies land now. So if Blade goes all she really has is... RMT Toadstool Marauders Mayhem Duel River Rapids It so poor :(

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/alton-towers-smiler-rollercoaster-crash-8915166 5 trains had been entered into the log.... The engineers didn't bother to check the log or to establish exactly how many trains where operating. They assumed there was four... Quite a assumption to take when...

Is that a guess or is that what was said by the HSE ? If its a guess, its probably a good shout... Just been reading it only took Alton Towers medical team 2 mins to arrive on site after the accident happened. That is pretty impressive... EDIT: I missed you saying presume - sorry :)

You know all this talk of the crash being the same as 90 mph car crash (how ?? its top speed is 52mph and it hit a stationary object ) and the Skyride being called a rollercoaster during todays proceedings makes me have very late faith in this whole process....

Put yourself in the shoes of a medical person at Alton Towers. Considering the size of the place.... How long do you think you could get to the Smiler, with all your equipment, make an assessment and place a detailed called to 999 with all the information they would require ? Personally 18...

You wouldn't of thought it was beyond the "engineers" to count the number of carriages... Apparently this was incredibly difficult, despite CCTV coming out showing the stalled train... CCTV or not... I suppose they defaulted to the Well if you can't see it then it must not existed line of...

Disneyland Paris is currently coming to the end of a huge improvement program. Lots of rides regenerated. Not sure the guys in Paris got wind of budget cuts :P

Fine would have a starting point of around £5 million I would imagine which will be reduced depending on how much the judge feels things go in ATs favour. My guess in the end it will be £1.5 million.

I think in the end its getting things into perspective that keeps me riding... 1 accident out of 3,000,000 rides on the Smiler... How many accidents out of all the rides in the history of Alton Towers ? How many accidents around the world out of all the billions of rides done... The chances...

Or they could of had 30, 60, 120 mins more because they sent the wrong people with the wrong equipment.... Just look at the Hillsborough disaster for what happens when the control centre doesn't get the right information.

The crash has shown a lot of failings. I find it amazing the engineers had never read the manual, the gaps in training, the pay related to getting the rides running quicker (so clearly going to lead to safety coming second to cash at some point), the lack of thought of design on the cars in...
