... the normal ride experience of the majority of BPB's coasters (including some of the more modern ones *Infusion*) is incredibly rough and throws you around a lot.
Aren't roller coasters supposed to throw you around a lot
Back on topic, I started visiting AT before it became a theme park and have seen many changes over the years.
The park always looked like it had potential to be world class. The country side setting in vast open spaces with a propper historic ruin as the perfect backdrop. Other parks could only dream of a location like that.
Sadly though it's never quite fulfilled it's potential for me and recently it seems to be losing some of its charm. The gardens in particular have been neglected in recent times.
It still has some great rides but there never seems enough attractions to cater for the huge footfall the park gets at busy times and when they do add a new big ride they usually end up removing one.
They also have the huge problem with planning permission which has no doubt held them back over the years.
I hope the park one day sees its full potential realised, but I am not holding out too much hope.
It's still one of the best parks in the uk though and will no doubt continue to thrill visitors for many years to come.
