tiger01 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Yesterday I got back from my Pepsi Max Tour where we went to Alton Towers and Blackpool. We got up at 3 in the morning and headed up North. The traffic was reasonably Okay. When we got there we booked into the Travelodge which had great views of the Grand National, Ice Blast Pepsi Max, Infusion and Valhalla. The hotel is only a 2 minute walk to the main entrance of Pleasure Beach and the Waterpark which was handy. The first day we went to Pleasure Beach which had reasonable queues throughout the day! WE headed over to the Pepsi Max first and only queued for about 15 minutes. Pepsi Max Big One: A great first drop!! Going up the lift hill you get some great views of the peak district! The drop is very good but the rest of the ride could have had more airtime. 8/10 Infusion: Not the nicest coaster on Earth. It hurt a lot! I rode it twice though. 5/10 Steeple Chase: A very popular coaster! I liked the racing atmosphere of the experience. (Tip, if you want to win ride on the middle horse!!!) 6/10 Big Dipper: A great Classic, I love the layout of the ride! Lot’s of Airtime!!! 9/10 Grand National: The best of the best! The Airtime is just crazy and you spend more of your time out of the seat than in it! 10/10 Revolution: A crazy ride! Get this, a man on the back seat was holding a news paper and was asleep. The ride went of and everyone laughed. And when it came back the man was gone! Anyway we were the next ride and so we got on. At the other side we saw the man in the control box with his newspaper. The ride overall though was quite good. 7/10 Wild Mouse: This coaster hurt a lot. On the second day I was the first person to ride it and it hurt a lot! (I was also on the first train for the big dipper!)6/10 Valhalla: One of the best water rides in the world! The effects were a great addition especially the fog! In my opinion though this ride is a bit too wet if you know what I mean. You get soaked!!! I rode it twice in the holiday. And please wear a poncho when you ride it they are only £1 each. If you don’t you will come out drenched! 10/10 RollerCoaster and the Space Invader was closed Sadly. The entrance. Mmmmm...Donut Waterfall!!!! I see the big Dipper!!! This is what I like to See!!! The Pepsi Max! that... Big One again! Take the Tunnel!!!! The train is a nice tour of the park! Arrrggghh...Give Me My Honey!!! Revolution and Stuff!!! New Dodgems from the train Point of View. ... The little train ride has great photo shot oppertunities! If you can, Ride it! It's good! ... TRAIN TAKES THE TUNNEL!!!! I SEE THE LIGHT! Well DollyWood maybe there is light at the end of the Tunnel and OMG TWO TRAINS!!!! These guys love rollercoasters soo much they even sit here all day and night watching them go round! This guy grew another head soo he could watch two coasters at once!!! Actually that might not be a bad Idea! (Part 2 Comming Soon!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger01 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Part 4 (More Crazyness!!!) This ride on the pier looked quite cool. Couldn't be bothered to ride it though! One of these things on the pier aswell. Kids were climbing up this spiderman thing. Sandcastles! MasterBlaster! A great finale! Double Drop! The SideWinder was good aswell. A good Waterpark! There was this Arcade down the Golden Mile which had this Pirate shooting ride which looked quite cool! The Ride Sign Into the Cave! The Tower! Something is wrong here! There is supposed to be a waterfall going down the rock but they turned it off and there is lot's of green stuff!!! This is why you should wear a poncho! Tango Ice Blast! Fanta is Much Much Better!!!!! GoodBye BlackPool...Alton Towers Next!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Ready For Alton Towers??? Alton Towers is easily the best themepark In England! It's beautiful Gardens and thrilling rides are just outstanding. Everyone should visit this park!!!!! We took the Monorail which was worth queueing for because I wasn't going to walk and the queue went down fast! There were lot's of trains running. You get great views of Nemesis aswell on the monorail! Anyway I love this park and I hope you will too some day! Air: My first B&M and It was amazing! I love how the lighting goes blue when you leave the station. The end bit is good with the rocks you almost miss! Great Ride! 10/10 Nemesis: My Favourite Steel Coaster of all time!!! Very intense and I love the loop! I can't remember how many times I rode it! Fantastic. The second day me and my sister went straight to it and we walked straight on!!! However it was drizzling a tiny bit so when we went up the lifthill all the water went down the train and my sister got most of it! Very entertaining. A good Wake up in the morning on Nemesis! 10/10 Oblivion: Scared me so much I almost didn't ride it. Even my dad wasn't convinced! It was good but once was enough for me! I got lots of great pictures of it though! 8/10 Rita: The launch was very Intense I didn't like it the first time but the second time I rode it In the Front and It was amazing! Not as good as Nemesis or Air but still a great ride. 9/10 Th13teen: I wasn't expecting too much of a coaster but it did surprise me! The first drop was decent and the hills. The Last helix was faster than I thought it would be. An interesting ride but I don't know how people will re-ride it after they know the secrets it is sort of been there done it in a soft way. The queue did go down quite well and the maze was quite cool with the electric shock. 7/10 Sonic Spinball: Good fun but not as good as Dragon's Fury at Chessington! 7/10 Runaway Mine Train: A good powered mine train. I liked it. I rode it in the back seat and enjoyed it alot. Good for the kids! 6/10 Duel: This ride was really cool and scared me about halfway through. Worth a go! 7/10 Rapids: A good Rapids but not amazing. 5/10 Also the SkyRide is good and saves alot of walking! Very handy! Anyway on to the photos... After a nice Monorail Ride we got to the Park! Yayyyyyy... Halloween Stuff even though it was Early August! Got straight on the skyRide with no Fuss! The Flume. I didn't Ride. I saw the Showers of Water at the End!!! Air! I thought it was excelent!!! Artistic Fail. Monet would look at this and Laugh! The Station. I like how it all goes blue when the train leaves the station! Some People are about to get wet. Nemesis! See the blood flow!!! By far the Best!!! Intense! Upside Down! Up into the Trees! I never knew blood looked like that! My Favourite Loop!! Dark Forest Time! Rita! Mmmmm...Maybe Later! Thirteen Time! After the Maze we got to the Station! Off they go. Yeah, did Rita. Very Forceful! Thirteen. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 BA I was literally just walking down the path towards the Big Dipper and it just suddenly stoped right as the car turned the first corner after the first drop. It looked painful as there was a little girl and her father in there. Also Another small girl got stuck just as she approached the lift hill. She was crying her eyes out. Poor thing. The other two cars were in the station. When they were rescued i saw a police officer talking to them and the little girl was quite scared. I'm not sure about the rest but I do Have some Photos after the Oblivion ones. X sector!!! Home to none other than Oblivion. This ride is quite a thrill! Enter Oblivion! AS you can see they are holding on for Dear Life!!! Don't Look Down! Round the corner! Old Black Hole Building! The park say they might be replacing it. Right, on this photo you can see The operators up the top helping the riders down and in the corner you can see where the other one got stuck. I hope this illustrates the issue.
