It's entirely possible to do The Smiler, Thirteen, Rita, Galactica and Nemesis before 11:30am if you play your cards right, have achieved this quite a few times as well!
Is that with or without RAP?My two times at Towers this year my count has been 20 and 16. I’d be pretty disappointed with 5 @Matt N, I’d probably be disappointed with double that to be honestI like to set the bar at 15, so I’m pretty happy I’ve achieved it both times this year - on a 10-7 and 10-5:30pm. My Towers record is actually 27 though on a Scarefest Saturday.
If you don’t mind @Burbs, may I ask you a quick question?
How on Earth do you go about getting on 25 rides in a huge theme park like Europa? Surely every major ride has a queue of 1hr+, and even many of the less major ones have queues of at least 30-45 minutes? You must either have the slickest strategy, or you must literally sprint from ride to ride!
Even when I went to the very compact Blackpool Pleasure Beach, where attractions are virtually right next to each other, I only got 11 rides in! Well, I’d consider 11 an astonishing count, personally, but it’s low relative to some of the suggested amounts (e.g. 25 for Europa).

Every credit !Without
The thing that confuses me, though, is we’ve always done what everyone says we should do. We often start in Dark Forest, and leave Wicker Man/X-Sector until at least midday. We often arrive on Towers’ property by around 9:45am, and are usually on park for just after 10am.It's evident the park are looking at the subject of how many rides people are doing per day, as seen in the surveys and by hiring in the travelling rides to bolster the lineup. If you are only able to manage five rides at your own fault by not planning ahead or joining queue lines for rides at their peak periods, then of course it isn't the park's fault but that still wouldn't be good enough. By doing The Smiler first with Rita and Thirteen following it, you can have three rides that normally attract well over an hour of queue throughout the day at Towers ticked off in just over an hour.

Why is it that we always seem to eventually stumble into long queues, thus reducing ride count?
Really? 10am is opening time; do we really have to get there that much before?Arriving on park after 10am is, simply put, too late.
