After being warned not to bang your head, you climb into your acorn, banging your head, then the acorn slides along the track. Is the acorn being pushed by the squirrel? This is unclear as we have no pre-show to explain the story of the ride, which is almost certainly the only bad thing about the whole experience. | After being warned not to bang your head, you climb into your acorn, banging your head, then the acorn slides along the track.

High above the wonderful Storybook Land and kind of a bit above the edge bit of Old McDonald's Farm, is every enthusiast's dream ride, Squirrel Nutty, on which you actually don't even have to pedal yourself along. Fantastic!
It breaks several records such as the highest ride within either Storybook Land or Old McDonald's Farm ever, fastest ride within either Storybook Land or Old McDonald's Farm ever, most squirrel orientated ride within either Storybook Land or Old McDonald's Farm ever and the only ride at Alton Towers that involves trees. Apart from Hex. And maybe sort of Th13teen. The Log Flume used to be too. There may be others.
After being warned not to bang your head, you climb into your acorn, banging your head, then the acorn slides along the track. Is the acorn being pushed by the squirrel? This is unclear as we have no pre-show to explain the story of the ride, which is almost certainly the only bad thing about the whole experience.
Excitement on this ride hits its peak if you get to 'race a tractor', making Squirrel Nutty the closest we get to a racing coaster in the park (the fact that it's not a coaster is obviously outweighed by the fact the car racing themed ride doesn't actually race anything(actually it races the people in 13's queue ;)...
