    A ride not being able to operate in any rain in the UK is like going to Egypt and not bothering with sun cream. Both equally stupid

    Controversial Alton Towers Opinions

    This is the problem with Towers. Unique rides that were special when they opened but I don’t think many of them have aged well. Galactica Oblivion and Th13teen are the main culprits for this. Worlds first rides that were good when they opened but have been surpassed to such an extent that they...

    Original Nemmy is definitely superior yes but it’s debatable with Rattleborn

    Cedar Point: General Discussion

    Never is at Cedar point. They might be one of the worst parks operation wise I’ve ever seen. Makes Merlin look class

    Rita: General Discussion

    Wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing in regards to Rita. Quite a big space could get something much better

    Should front row seats be a premium add on

    Not sure what makes you think fast track is a disgrace it is used at all major parks across the entire globe. Heck if I was rich enough I’d buy it all the time

    Beautiful sunny weather at Towers, quite low queues but yet the park is open til 6pm. I get they expect busier crowds at weekends but having lower queues on a day where you have 2 hours longer just makes Towers look like they click a random generator for opening hours.

    Ye the point is Towers should know about it. From what I’ve seen most schools are back after the bank holiday on the 21st. Yes Stoke nearby are off that week 21st-25th but pretty much all other areas are back so why have that week a 6pm close and this week 4 when there’s just as many schools off now

    2025: General Discussion

    Well it’s a great start to the off peak weekdays. Do Towers actually do any research around half term times around the country and also school trip numbers

    2025: General Discussion

    Seen a good video from Pleasure beach experience talking about where are Uk parks going wrong and what do they need to do to improve. He mentioned the lack of investment in a major new ride at Towers since Wicker man and I’m inclined to agree. Reborn and Toxicator to the public are essentially...

    Alton Towers Trip Planning Questions and Discussion

    I wouldn’t usually recommend this but if you’re going early I’d head straight to Smiler. Then head straight over to Wicker man and hit that up while the queue isn’t too bad. At that point you’ve got the 2 most popular rides done early. Get Galactica done after this as it’ll be on 1 station so...

    Ye Rita was on 1 and Galactica on 2. Didn't help that X sector was struggling due to winds but overall queues were ok. Wicker ops are much better on 3 now and it’s making a difference with the queue

    The Smiler: time to turn the music off

    Well I judge how good theme park music is by how satisfying it is to listen to. The drop base parts on Smiler in the queue are phenomenal gives you goosebumps

    The Smiler: time to turn the music off

    Absolutely not. Granted the laughing part is a bit irritating but the parts with the base is the best music in the Uk imo. It’s catchy, sounds so good in the queue and has a great vibe to it. The music makes the ride it wouldn’t be the same without it
