Yes we are spoilt because of Thorpe Parks selection, but in an ideal World, should the UK's largest and most popular theme park have only two thrill non-coaster rides.
But when Drayton Manor have 4 (havent included Apocalypse) and a plethora of family spin rides and then kiddie spins, somethings not quite right is it? Even Flamingoland have 3 thrills, with lots of supporting family flats.
Six Flags is well known for its aging fairground flat rides, but when the parks are full of coasters, flats take a back seat for me
My main priority in parks I dont often get to, is the coaster selection.
Another factor that is missing at Alton is mixed areas. They are mostly either all Thrill (X-Sector, Forbidden Valley) or Kids (Cbeebies land, Cloud Cuckoo). Now if they replaced Submission with a kiddie play area, that would be a 100% better for families and wouldnt split them up.
A couple of family rides in Dark Forest wouldnt go amiss either... But that as they say is another topic alltogether !! ;D
