Exactly.

I was giving my opinion on the ride, my primary belief being that it should be ripped down asap. Why you feel the need to insult me out of nowhere proves you are the only cretin here.

If I wont ever ride it again, I wont be the only one. The ride is a piece of crap, plain and simple.

When this ride was first unveiled I thought it looked kinda crap (I was hoping for a B&M) and did not bother to visit the park that year. Then, last year when I finally rode it I thought it was forceless, not smooth, somewhat uncomfortable, the second lift hill and constant trim brakes killed...

8 rides in total, not bad considering I was there 11am-5pm, I was worried I'd only get on 3 rides like 'Faceyournemesis' suggested. It was my first time at Alton since 2010! 1x Duel 2 x Nemesis (amazing front row as always/'meh' on row 6) 1 x air 2 x Smiler (my first time going on it- thought...

I'm going tmr, what kind of queue times can I expect for the big rides? Will I need a fast track? Thanx

Not rode Smiler yet, but Nemesis is the best ride in the park. Always has been. It's a shame Alton spent 18 mil on a rough ride that probably won't age well. Why couldn't they have just bought a B&M or Intamin?

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Not posted here in a while, I'm quite excited about The Smiler/Smiler?... Initially I thought 'meh, a Euro Fighter', but this actually seems like the perfect use of the BH site. Could be redemption for Alton after the major fail of...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I get what your saying, a compact 8 inversion roller coaster on a site previously thought to small to develop is a win. But if after a few seasons it's too rough, or if in fact it's just unpleasant from the get go then it's a big fail...

They made us walk through the whole queue lines for Stealth and Swarm despite them being empty but I can't complain. Did stealth 8x in a row in the morning which was fun. Also I'd say Swarm was more like an 8.5.

Edit from my trip report- Theming- the theming is EXCELLENT. I can't think of many coasters that have this much put into the theming. I mean, there's half of a commercial airliner strewn across the track! Plus a trashed firetruck, a mock up helicopter and the blown out church style station...

Picked the perfect date yesterday for a trip to Staines finest- less than 3k park guests and the weather was good. Queue times never exceeded 5 mins and a lot of stuff was walk on inc Swarm and Stealth for most of the morning. The only bummer- SAW was closed all day. by 5PM I was utterly...

cripes.

Re: LC12 - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Y'know furie, sometimes- I don't believe I know you. Anyway, once they start building this thing I'm sure this thread will go crazy. Good times!

Seeing that pov the ride just looks really lame and outdated. The thing that made Black Hole really cool was that it was in the dark, and the little effects. When you bring out into the daylight you can really see how lacking the ride is. It's time at Alton has long passed.

I thought coaster corner was off limits 'cause of those bastard ropers or whatever they're called... ? That's why mouse Alton Mouse got removed right?

Enthusiasts sometimes mention Nemesis' roughness, I honestly don't think it's got any. It's not smooth as glass like Inferno, granted. It's an old B&M and as such has a little character but it's not rough. There are no spine jolts, it does not hurt, far from from it, I'd actually say it was...

Jubilee Odyssey hella scary

OBLIVION !

I know, two trains is normal on a modern coaster.
