Oh and just for the record, I got the end of months mixed up, turns out it's late September were planning on going so we won't be around during the Halloween celebrations

After having a longer think about it, and even planning out how we would manage to do a tour down the east coast (and possibly include a few romantic nights in new york), were now beginning to sway further and further towards staying in one hotel for the 2 weeks in Florida, and possibly renting a car to get us around if its included in the package. i could see spending a lot of our honeymoon driving and changing hotels as we move from park to park not as relaxing as spending it in one location. We will defiantly plan to do a big American tour one day in the future before we have kids, we have talked about it quite a lot over the past few years. Iv just spent the last 3 hours trying to plan one, and it all looks easily possible for us, with the distance between parks being reasonable. Right, so we have now settled on Orlando Florida, can anybody recommend any hotels what would be perfect for a honeymoon, either on or off resort? iv looked online and I'm liking the look of the lodge at animal kingdom up too now.

And we're not bias towards any state, we just wanto to have a good time. Traveling wise, We want to keep it down to a maximum of two days of long driving or even flying. So I guess three areas.

Were more into a friendly atmosphere park. We do want to ride bigger and better coasters then in the UK, and has to include a good few good woodies. The only good woodie that's been built here in the last 20 years is megaphobia at oakwood and we both really enjoyed that. Blackpool ones are fun but not very intense. We plan to go late October time, preferably to a warmer climate then the UK, fed up of rain and cold over here. It is going to be our first big international holiday together aswell. The past few years we have just been camping around England so trying to make it as special as possible.

I need help planning a honeymoon in America visiting big theme parks. Me and my girlfriend had been dating for 4 and a half years and I asked her to marry me looking over the gardens at alton towers, and she said yes (obviously). Before this, we first met at Thorpe Park and spent every free weekend at UK theme parks. So theme parks are a major part of our life. So we plan on honeymooning in America visiting theme parks. We're not the wealthiest of couples so please consider that. We originally planned just to go to florida for 2 week, but everyone seams to do that so I want to make it original and special just for us. Any input would be very much appreciated, even more would be a 2 week plan of what to do!! Thanks, Robert Allen

I don't know if you would be aloud to do it, but the original UK oblivion advert featured a race between a ball of sweat falling and the ride train, with the train beating the sweat to the bottom of the drop. Obviously it would all depend on how quickly sweat reached terminal velocity and the gap between sweat falling and train falling. But iv always thought the sweat would win everytime. You could easily stretch the Myth out for 15 min though

I have never actually posted anything on this forum before even tho iv been a member for nearly 3 years, but i think with this topic, its time to brake my post virginity. The corkscrew was my first big roller coster, and it will always have a special place in my heart. Ill always remember the first time i rode it, i somehow got on front row, and it was a blast, but with my lack of body mass at the time, something weird happened with the restraint and i was stuck on it in the station for nearly 5 minuets. After several people trying there hardest to push and pull it and stamp on that emergency release peddle, they finally decided to let me round again on my own (probably just incase nobody else got stuck on it with me, and the fact there was 2 trains running and the people on the other train were getting annoyed) and give the normal way another go. Luckily it did work and i was free. Probably most peoples nightmare that, 2 rides in a row on corkscrew, but i loved it! Sadly, after that, every other ride (probably around 80-90 of them) are most remembered for the pain, even tho in resent years, iv found a way to ride it without whacking my head once, what has resulted in me enjoying the ride more. It is clearly showing its age now though, not only with the increasing roughness, but with the fact you can practically walk straight on it, even on a bank holiday! So Alton Towers have clearly made the correct decision to get rid of it now, unlike the decision to close the black hole, what even in its last years, ran extremely smooth, had queues of at least 20min everyday of the year and everyone loved because of how unique the ride was, and still hasn't been replaced by anything. Hopefully, the iconic corkscrew loops will be saved from the scrap heap and kept on the alton towers site, they can melt the rest in my opinion. They could have it somewhere around the entrance, put it on stilts in the middle of the lake in front of the towers, or mabe even looping down the middle of tower street so you could have a view of the towers thought the famous loops as soon as you enter the park, would be a pretty cool sight you greet you, with a plack near it saying something really cheesy like "the ride what started it all". Everyone must agree that without the corkscrew, Alton Towers wouldn't be where it is today, just like Pleasure Beach Blackpool with the Big Dipper and Grand National, so it definitely should be still aloud a special place on the park. I will definitely be there on the 9th of november to say goodbye to a legend and a british coster icon.
