    2013: General Discussion

    Unfortunately I think that the long queues and inaccurate ride time boards may just be a symptom of the park being extremely busy over half term and Scarefest :( I appreciate that this may not be a suitable solution for you, but I'd plan my visit on a quieter week if you're stressed out by long...

    2013: General Discussion

    With regards to the Th13teen queue times, was it raining when you were at AT? Last time I was in park (in the rain!) there was a staff member at the entrance to the queue line warning people that the boards were not showing accurate timings due to the ride running less trains because of the...

    Quick Questions

    Re: Quick Questions 2013 I was on site today and Th13teen was down for around an hour in the mddle of the day I think... Was back up and running around 2pm as I did 2 rides. I think the weather was causing issues today, it was pretty soggy!

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    I rode 4 times today (1 x row 1, 1 x row 3 and 2 x row 4) and by heck it's a lot rougher on the back row! I'm not the tallest so rattle about in the restraint a fair bit, but my shoulders are sore from the airtime on the second bunny hop hill and my head was bashing from side to side like it...

    [The Smiler] Construction Updates / Ride Speculation Part 2 *SPOILER FREE*

    Can I ask what the maximum re ride is on Nemesis? I've never heard of this before.. I just thought you had to stop running back round onto the single rider queue when you were too dizzy to stand up? :P

    Lucky me last Sunday... Back left seat, back right seat and front right seat ;D my favourite coaster bar none, I get a tingle waiting for the first ride of every visit... Then I just run the single rider queue until I can't stand up!

    Alton Towers Resort closed due to snow

    We were hoping to visit the park today but had a feeling the park might not be accessible due to the weather :( never mind, plenty more days ahead! Better that all staff and visitors are not trying to negotiate the roads in this weather around Alton, although this might be another day or two...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    We went to BPB today and there were problems with Revolution and the Grand National, Rev seemed to spend a lot of the day perched on both edges before being pulled back on a winch! GN was back up and running about 4pm so we sneaked a cheeky ride before heading home, everything else looked like...
