The game is getting there! Still hoping for a height-adjustable drop tower soon. -
^ IMO this would never happen, Are the costs to turn this into a worse ride/motion simulator worth it? I think it's smarter of them to pull an Alton Towers "Hex" and update some stuff slightly, letting people know it's down for refurbishments for a season. It made me want to go check out Hex again after the new sound/scenery, even though it was clearly a cost-saving measure.

Walibi Holland Discussion Thread

Rode this two days ago and loved the ride. Mostly because the restraints are so comfortable. I didn't feel the ride was too rough, and didn't notice a wiggle on this great airhill, however, I never checked here before so I had no idea the support was added and wasn't feeling for anything weird when on-ride. -

This game is making me really consider buying a new computer with good specs just to play this game. -

Everything is awesome except the weird queues that you can't make zig-zags easily with, and the paths that won't connect to eachother when they're right next to one another. Paths shouldn't turn red when building, they should just merge no matter how you put them. -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread

Rent an automatic if you rent. It's worth extra £ for the less hassle/safety. Also a smaller car is advised as the roads get tiny. Chained oak B&B is awesome, the best B&B I've ever been to- I stayed last week, too bad hex won't be open for you. Thorpe would also be a fun trip also, but Alton is beautiful even though I'm super disappointed with them this season. Still some run down looking buildings and sad with so many rides closed. -

Looks cool, worried about the theming of rides not being changeable too. As long and there is a create scenario feature and it is still hard to make a successful park like in rct2, I'm happy. Still a bit worried I'll crawl back to rct2 though -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
AustinR replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Agree with you about how horrible the park seemed to be ran compared to previous times. Empty seats were beyond what you could believe, and made queuing much longer with a combination of confused guests and employees that wanted to fill seats just wasting more time. ^Surprised by your account of galactica. I queued in the rain for a very short time, and was very happy with it, however I went into the ride expecting to hate it. No black box surrounding my sight (maybe I didn't look around enough), quite pixely though and did get blurrier as you looked away from centre of screen. I also felt the towers loving care wasn't noticeable at all. There's paint peeling and wood rotting in many sections still. I also liked the look of the old nemesis more :/. Log flume was pointed out by everyone on my gondola rides as looking terrible too. Overall I heard many more negative comments from overhearing guests vs positive ones. -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread

After being a huge sceptic and riding I can say wow it's pretty awesome. The wind and forces with the video are great, I didn't even feel like I was outside you're in a whole 'nother world. The camera can be shaky at times and the wait for the attendants to clean to glasses is long and painful to watch, I feel terrible for the workers there. Also their claims of it being incredibly clean/revolutionary cleaning etc. are overboard. Being a minor germaphobe I had a huge problem with their cleaning process. They reuse the same throw-out wipes on multiple VR headsets, and you use the same as the person before you. It's fine I'm sure but I was very grossed out. I got over it quick when the ride started . I also felt the need to hold onto the VR about halfway through because it was being shaken loose. They also have 9(!) employees on each(!) side of the station. Which kind of annoys me because sub terra and other rides are closed because of budget costs.. And they are the only rides my aunt could've enjoyed with us. It takes them so long to explain to people what is going on/tighten their headsets/clean/explain focus. Couldn't imagine it without the double station. Also- silver fast pass doesn't work on the ride and they refunded my entire fast pass and give me nothing. No problem. It's very easy to just take off the VR and put it back in its pouch, or just hold it why not . Any questions -just ask -

Alton Towers Discussion Thread

Nice head-chopper for the riders with that added circular thin... oh wait. on another note, the writer of the article says that his second ride was a bit off. That's a bit worrying, Hopefully they fix this, I do get motion sickness on bad simulators.
