But I still absolutely detest the staff on it. The horrible way they shout at you, pointless, meaningless abuse. They're not even consistent. They're nearly always quite shoddy and sloppy about how they 'act', frequently breaking character, or moving in an awkward way, or just saying something weird.
I actually resent being shouted at like that. It makes me physically angry, and makes me want to rebel and start shouting back about what a load of crap it all is. It's a shame, because from the first lift onwards, I really enjoy the ride now.
Agree with you there. The narrative seems a bit lost still with that part. The Phalanx welcome us to their facility, yet they shout at us? While most jokes are tongue in cheek, they could upset someone that is sensitive. I've been lucky with my visits as it's been quiet and the staff have been rather social and not as in character. But other times it seems shouting for the sake of shouting.
I hate being shouted at, it really infuriates me when it's not needed. Perhaps Alton Towers could look at this and do a bit of tweaking. All it involves is telling staff to calm the tone.
