Alton Towers Discussion Thread
Stu K replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thought with all those involved ! I was shocked the park was shut now for a second day but Nick Varney looked shocked and said they wanted to check all the rides out before reopening. I think he is genuinely concerned but I guess by doing this it also demonstrates a commitment to TOTAL safety to the HSE. Stu K -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
Stu K replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
OK Guys I promised a review/trip report. I will Start with WOW great little park with free Coasters! Yes free*! (* Six Flags Great America Parking $25 2 x sodas $10 Holiday World booked on line $34.99) So with the free parking and sodas the rides were free. We sort of did the park front to back as we found the rides starting with all front seat rides. Raven was a great fun ride that really made me smile had read lots of great reports and it delivered. As did the voyage so much speed and cannot imagine what it was like before the brakes (maybe i Don't want to Lol) . The sleeper of the trip was Legend this took me by surprise all the praise I have seen was for the other 2 woodies so much fun with the pops of air time and wicked laterals think I rode this the most. Did Thunderbird front both sides good ride and I think in any other park I would have been amazed but after the 3 Woodies it was just good. I had a ride in the back and think in my opinion only the back was best. That said it was a real crowd pleaser ( young school crowd the day i was there). They were impressed with the loops. A park is nothing with out its staff and boy they are good loading the trains fast and efficiently. The Bad the weather was pretty cold so did not brave the water park. ( I have to go back some time any excuse.) The turkey shooter I have forgotten the name but is it supposed to be that hard to score ? Or were we just bad. Still a bit jet lagged but thought i would type something whilst I remembered. Stu K -

THANKS DrEmmettBrown88 for the heads up on the spiders are they just on the entrance? My wife hates them so much, as in if there's one in the car she would sooner crash than stay in car with spider. Remember October trip to Magic mountain and there was a huge one on Colossus lol. Stu K -

How to make a mega trip cheaper?

Hotels.com great tip, Book park tickets on-line for discounts some do eating plans and pay with credit cards to get some points or cash back. Have fun Stu K -
