robbalvey Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 ^ Agreed. I mean, I don't like rough coasters that much, but if a rough coaster has something to offer that will "cancel out" the roughness, I can forgive it a bit. ThunderCoaster is a very good example of that. --Robb "I can't stand rough coasters that are not only rough, but just plan suck - SFDL's Predator as an example." Alvey
Shockwave Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 ^I'll add Coaster "My spleen!! My spleen!!" Express to that. Thundercoaster's airtime and wild ride were well worth any roughness the ride had, a bit like the Ultimate in some ways - it has something that really makes you laugh a hell of a lot. It just got better as the track got wetter. And the company that designed it was British!

meryll83 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Don't know if anyone has mentioned this already but the river of blood at Nemesis - Alton Towers is no more (well at least for now anyway, I don't know if it has come back plans) The lake was still there but the waterfalls dry and looking really ugly when we visited in late September.
peter_rowland1 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 The river of blood on nemesis will return if you looked around the park you would have seen that many of the water features were not working this was due to local water conservation restrictions.
peter_rowland1 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Just got back from adrenalin week at Alton Towers, 17 rides in 6 Hours and all for just £10 WooHoo..... Oh and Chessington the day before was great fun too the combo of theme park and Star Wars what more could you ask for my kids loved it.
meryll83 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Good to know, I like the bloody waterfalls! Come to think of it you're right, the frogs weren't working either, well spotted!
