Mine's a pint =)So they did... But the product quality was exactly the same as had been a successful business model before the bad publicity with customers making repeat purchases.
Not me though... no namby pamby crystal decanters in Yorkshire. Pint o Tetley, mate!
Alton officially said Smiler was running at 20mph at the point of impact.The entire Mirror article is based on an alleged story from a guest. It's obviously a load of BS, there will be a lot of people running to the papers to sell this 'stories' to get a few hundred quid.
Going by what Alton Towers have officially said it was just a minor bump on Spinball, which is very common for that ride. I've experienced it, it's nothing, had rougher bus rides than that.
I understand the cynicism, absolutely. I just think it's odd that Alton have now created situation whereby "rides are performing exactly as they are designed to do" but that includes people seeking medical attention.
