BEST Colossus - Thorpe Park Nemesis - Alton Towers

Thats the main reason i looked into going there as i don't want to spend 2 weeks in the same place but dn'e want to drive too far, i could manage 4/5 hours

Thanks for the advice, at the moment i've been looking into Six Flags Great Adventure as it is within 2 hours of Hershey and Dorney Park and 1 hour from New York. Also flights to New York are quite cheap from London at the moment

Already going there this year, (forgot about that )

i am trying to plan a trip for 2009, after i finish my gcse's and will be visiting america in june and i wanted your opinions on where i should go. I want to have as many GOOD rollercoaster rides as possible so where will be the best for an english first timer. Also if there are any other parks around those areas, could you say as well as American maps are very different in scales compared to our (i don't want to travel for more than 90 mins to each one) Cedar Point Six Flags Magic Mountain Six Flags Great Adventure

i don't mind waiting if there is theming and it moves but stealth at thorpe park is just a mess as i queued 2 hours and there is NO theming in the queue at all, and the ride only lasted 12 SECONDS!

mine was oblivion, i was only 12 and it was the first ride i went on at Alton Towers

Colossus - Thorpe Park (at the front) last Saturday just before 20.00
