Awesome? Never gets boring? Are you talking about something else, Inferno (I never add its 'Nemesis' prefix because it doesn't deserve it and puts shame to the Nemesis name!) is easily the worst B&M inverter and one of, if not the dullest coaster i've been on. You feel more forces when you get out of bed quickly.

Nice update! Just wondering if you could point me in the direction of the photo you used in your post without the writing and stuffs on it? As its great. A desktop sized one would be even better !

*Sigh* once again our Nations dreams are shattered by a penalty shootout. We battled so hard after we went down to 10 men (and it was no way a red card) and deserved to win. Ahh well, next time I guess

Black 4GB iPod Nano myself, filled to the brim. Had no problems with it so far, fingers crossed.

Nope, your not the only one. I wear my glasses with no strap on almost all coasters with no problems at all. The only time i'm asked to taken them off is on Rita: QOS and they are quite strict with it as every visit i've had I always have to remove them. When you move you head around quickly or violently when not on a coaster they don't fall off so why would they when on a coaster. I do take them off on drop towers, partly because of the forces involved and partly because I don't really want to see anyway.

Personally I didn't think much of Expedition GeForce, don't get me wrong it is a good coaster, but consistantly voted #1? Its not that good IMO. Just didn't do it for me I guess. From what i've been on i'd say Kraken and Nemesis are my joint favourite coasters. I'd imagine they will be blown right down the list after my SoCal trip in 6 weeks time. We shall see.

All the Tussuads parks entrance fee are around £29.50 and your a fool if you pay more than about £25 for it because of all the offers that are always going around on the net, even the official site sells tickets for £23. Also you could get an annual pass which is very good value for money. Are you kidding me? Its busier than ever this year and its still easily the best park in the UK and will be around for a long long time. Enthusiasts seem to take Alton Towers for granted in my eyes and go round looking for faults with the place, personally i've never had a bad day there. [/end rant] Anyways sorry for that slight off topicness, continue with the very funny updates Mr Alvey.

Looks like your having a great time! Your certainly lucky that your not experiencing typical English weather, the past few days have been damn hot. Continue to have a good time, but don't be surprised if every thing stops for 90 minutes at 2pm today when England play their first match

Have already been to Thorpe Park this year and will be going several more times there and to Alton Towers when my exams have finished and throughout the summer. Im off to California on July 26th (1 month 22 days to go, but who's counting ) so will be going to: Disneyland DCA KBF USH SFMM SeaWorld San Diego Very much looking forward to my second visit stateside after such an awesome time in Florida last year.

I've been on five: 1) Nemesis 2) DD: Fire 3) DD: Ice 4) Montu 5) Nemesis Inferno The top four are all quite close, Nemesis wins for its relentless forces and crazy foot choppers. There's not much between DD Fire and Ice IMO especially at the front of them. I don't really remember Montu much, which isn't a good thing, one thing I do remember is the stupid trims. As for Nemesis Inferno, I get more thrill from sitting on my sofa. I will be riding Batman and Silver Bullet later in the year...

Would this be the one you are talking about? Clickady-click Yes it may be cruel but its a classic, I cried with laughter when I first saw it.

England (obviously) Wales Scotland France Belgium Netherlands Germany Tanzania USA (Florida last summer, California this summer )

I don't know where you got that information from because as far as i'm aware it will not be a per pay ride attraction, it will have a height limit but this is good as Alton didn't have enough kiddie rides. It is replacing the Vintage Cars, which was outdated and dull and a Carrousel of which there is another one in the park anyway. So a worth while swap, really.

Alton Towers by a long shot, its got the nicest atmosphere, beautiful surroundings (unlike Thorpes concrete jungle) and of course the best reason, quality coasters. The pay per attractions don't bother me, you don't like them? Simply don't use them then and theres only 2 or 3, its not really a big deal. The car parking is one thing I don't understand but I have an Annual Pass so again it doesn't bother me. Yes the park have had a couple of rough years (2003 and 2004) but last year was a real improvement with the park much cleaner and effects etc. been fixed. This year seems to be another step in the right direction with the park reportedly shiny clean (which I couldn't say for Thorpe when I visted last Sunday) the addition of CCF, which looks like its going to be a really good family ride which is just what Alton needs and theres also going to be a driving school attraction open in July. Oh yeah and Alton have Nemesis!

Hey! Im Adam (cos you couldn't have guessed that), im 16 and I live in Kent, UK. My home park is Thorpe Park, my favourite UK park is Alton Towers, my favourite park worldwide is Islands of Adventure, just don't ask me what my favourite ride/rollercoaster is! Im a member of numerous Theme Park related forums (Alton Towers Almanac, SouthParks and ThrillNetwork) and after looking through the hilarious updates, videos and topics on this site, thought I best join up here as well, seems to be a community that ill enjoy. Apart from the obvious, I enjoy computers, gaming, badminton and generally having a laugh and a good time. Oh and im visiting SoCal this summer which i am looking forward to immensly!
