robbalvey Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share 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."

Shockwave Posted September 18, 2006 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meryll83 Posted October 30, 2006 Share 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 Share 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.
