Really nice video the smoothest POV's ever.

Now wouldn't this improve IOA's Jurassic Park.

your so modest Coaster Counter gives you 921.

VERY NICE PHISHY

Gwazi was awful in January I could have made the perfect James Bond martini on it.

Found this great video of Booster Bike and the riders are all in full biker gear. Booster bike vid

Bench was situated just infront of the towers inbetween the exit of HEX and X sector and it was a real classic wooden version none of this iron and wood hybred version you see these days

So you ain't a Yankee fan then fishy:P

Very nice Tr and pics. Looks like you had a good day for it too the last time i went to BPB it snowed :shock:

Here is a short POV of Oblivion, bit shakey through the tunnel but ok on the rest of the ride. Oblivion POV

Glad you all like the TR and video memphish Try right clicking and set target as to download it is quite a big file.

We had our annual trip to Alton Towers on thursday just gone and what an improvement on last year. The park has been revamped very well and still has a smell of fresh paint on some rides. The park wasn't too busy as it was a school day, but good weather meant it wasn't empty and by looking at the ride waiting times you could see which way most people were going. So of course we went the opposite way, which turned out in our favour as we didn't queue more than 15 minutes for any of the main rides, so we had plenty of time to re ride all day. 1)Runaway Mine Train. This ride was about as good as last year, a bit bumpy and for some reason the tunnel was a lot darker, still 3 laps around the track was still good fun. 2) Nemesis. Boy was this ride running well and it looked great, this was the best I have ever seen Nemesis run. It was lightning fast and so smooth, maybe it was the warm weather but it was flying that day. 3) Air. Air is still a crowd puller but it is a lot slower than the other rides now at Alton and for the first time ever didn't break down while we were there. It's sort of turning into the ride the thirty somethings can take the parents on with them. 4) Rita. I was looking forward to getting this credit as it wasn't ready when we were at the park last year. The cars and the track look really good and the launch from the station wasn't bad either, after the launch you hit a nice high G turn and ride up and over a twist airtime hill which had amazing airtime, the rest of the ride was not as intense as the first couple of hundred metres but still very pacey. Overall Rita isn't that bad and is a really good addition to Altons coaster collection. 5) Corkscrew. If you like your bones shaken and not stirred this is the ride for you. Corkscrew is getting old now and not getting any better. plus it looks out of place with Rita built around it. I can see this one going in the near future. 6) Bench the ride. Alton has installed a few wooden versions of this ride and we were able to get video footage of it in action, this ride was very popular in Alton. Check out the video for the footage. 7) Oblivion. The ride that looks a lot scarier than it is and for a few seconds it is very intense, but is as short as wee man. Still I like it and always like a re ride on it. 8 ) Spinball Whizzer. I think this one is far better than Chessintons version it's more mouse style and much more intense. with nice high banking curves and good tight helix turns it really throws you around. One of the best features of this ride is watching peoples faces as they see the pillars wobbling when the cars move around the track. 9) The Beastie kiddie coaster. JUST COS IM A CREDIT WHORE. Alton Towers is still number one here in the UK and with this revamp it's going to be hard for the others to catch up. ALTON TOWERS 2005 VIDEO Spinball Whizzer. Spins like a food blender. Them bones be a shakin.. Rita. good ride crap name Oblivion. DONTLOOKDOWN "wonder where i heard that before". Need a rest ride Air. Nemesis. The best B & M in the UK.

I was one of the entrees that didn't have people in the video, all i can say is if you do go that way with your video make sure the music complements the way the coasters move, throw in some tidy editing and make sure you have enough footage. Its a bummer when you get 2/3 of the way through editing your movie and your struggling for clips. hope this helps.

No keep them going, i think maybe as you were the theme, some members might not have wanted to put you in certain places for fear of offending you, The avitar photo comp is a good thing so keep it alive.

How about a Bannana Splits park and instead of Segways, you drive round in the 6 wheeled buggies they had.

Just watched an ad on tv with turbo (Brighton pier) in it.

Nascar had cars racing on a woody in one of their ads.

I think that some parks may have a drop in visitors who have to travel far to the parks as it costs around £60 now to fill a car with gas. For example if i want to go to Blackpool with my girlfriend, a day in that park will now cost us £120 inc entry. Tin "Lets all get methanol fueled cars" head

It might not affect american parks but here in the Uk we are paying £1.00 or $1.75 a litre for gas now, so it might be a problem for some of our parks.

I didn't see that post, but you did have a good idea and i am sure if i didn't it use someone would have. lol Oddly enough i have friends in Heidelberg who may seek you out. lol Tin "I just hired Micheal Jacksons defence against law suits" head
