It's the end of the world as we know it, and we feel f....

Oh dear! I must be getting old. My eyesight is going.

I think that it's because I haven't been for 20 years. Or perhaps I was expecting to see an actual sign that read 'entrance'. Perhaps I should have gone to SpecSavers?

Oblivions was the first I couldn't find. Enterprise also was not obvious. Then Nemesis was the last. I guess they just didn't look like entrances to rides is what I mean. I seem to remember that on the '96 map the entrances to the rides was listed but on the '16 map there was no such listing.

I spent the vast majority of the times in the queues with my head down and eyes at the floor or, whilst queuing for Th13rteen, watching Rita speed over us. Anytime I did look up I was faced with dirty looks from the other guests. (Could have been my paranoia)

I must admit to feeling a tad nervous when waiting in the queue for The Smiler. And once I finally sat down I was still a little apprehensive. Then when we got to the half way point I thought if I could make it through the first half then the second half would be no problem at all. And it...

Revisited Alton Towers for the first time in over 20 years. The last time was during the summer of '96. Times were a lot different back then...

After having visited the park on Halloween, I would like to have seen more clearly thought out signs posted to the ride entrances. I wasted valuable seconds trying to locate the rides entrance on Monday. If I do go back in 2017 I would like fresh rolls at the hot dog place. The one I had was...

Any word from anyone at the park as to what it's like there? According to ridetimes.co.uk there's already a 90 minutes wait time for The Smiler.

Result! Must fire up ye ole photocopier. And move closer to the park.

Nemesis and Galactica are the only two rides open:(

Done!

According to the ridetimes.co.uk site ALL the rides are now closed bar two but it's only 5 o'clock.

Apparently it is.

Consider him blamed.

Although thankfully it has now gone down...
