The new Alton Towers App is now able to buy.http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/alton-towers-resort-official/id449134484?mt=8Whats your thoughts on it? Better than Thorpe Park's?

So, to coincide with the marketing thingy at towers for the top 5 rides, write here what you score them out of 5 - and if you want to put a reason, state why! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Mp6jl5i7A My vote is for nemesis, with 5/5.Air - 2/5Oblivion 4/5Thirteen - 3/5Rita 3/5What is yours?

I was wondering if anybody else could remember the old Virtual Reality Theatre that was at Chessington in the early 2000's?I remember on one visit with my family and Girlfriend (now Wife) we gave this new attraction in Mexicana a go. It consisted of a number of large seats arranged in rows facing out into the park and you had to pay to use the attraction.The attraction basically involved a number of members of the public making fools of themselves for the entertainment of nearby spectators. With the 'players' wearing immersive VR goggles they were kind of cut off from the outside world and it was very easy to caught up in the game and forget that you were in full show to …

So with the news that a B&M is to open at Thorpe for 2012, lets discuss a ride that will be celebrating it's tenth birthday next year. Air, B&M's first flying rollercoaster opened in 2002 and is quite unlike any other ride in Europe. Swooping up and over Nemesis and with an emphasis on the thrill of flight does Air inspire you or do you hate it and have been put off flying ever since.For reference, French ride enthusiasts love it. But do you?!

Does anyone know how to find the chained oak tree in Alton?I do. I went and found it last year.I was impressed by it's size. There is certainly some truth that the chains have been there since 1821.

As this is a kind of general topic, I was unsure where to put it, I decided upon Chessington as I feel they are the biggest offender.Does anyone else find the opening times of the majority of our parks really frustrating?The whole month of August Chessington closes at 6! The likelihood is that opening will be extended but even so, that is just ridiculous. This is happening at the same time, as Legoland, with a younger target audience is closing at 8!I just find it irritating how early the park closes...

Do you think theres anything laking with the staff at Chessington? Do you prefer them to Thorpes, or do you think they need improving?Youll be with them a lot of the time in your day at Chessie, so what do you think about them?

Just a topic about hidden bits of Chessington that can't be seen to the naked eye, is anyone able to shed light on any sort of hidden pathways or interesting bits of Chessington?I've seen that Rodeo queue is still in working condition, all with the cow horns and also the control box, anyone else able to shed any light what it was used for after it closed up?
