Are you now able to view your video before you actually buy it now?

It does here?!

Welcome jack the new tl!

Were bringing sexy back

It had a fair few problems on Saturday and was going out of sync a fair bit so I'm not surprised its on one swing. Hopefully when it gets quieter they can work on it a bit and sort it out.

Got it in one.The problems are now fixed.

Things seemd gooder tooday than that, when I got there all rides open apart from slammer and rush (WOO 2005 moment!) then they opened then it hailed so hard it hurt to walk in so it all closed untill it stoped, after that I didit see anything go down apart from rush a few times.

I just wuna say mr Alexxx thanks for all the hard work you put into the site (before anyone goes rawr I know it wasnt all his work!)) its been appreciated God knows when you joined but it was when I was way n00byer than I am now (so were you !) So yea I hope we still see you posting around on here!

I swear its wrong

Alton Towers - Friday 4th April!Well I took my first trip to alton towers of the season with mike and ian last friday and all I can say is wow.Whilst I like Thorpe Park and Chessington, Alton towers is a whole league above them both in almost every single way.Ill start with the negatives and get them out the way:Geting into the park and trying to buy an annual pass was a total nightmare, the staff we asked seemed confused that I actually had to buy an annual pass and that I didnt actually have one, once we eventually got that through to them we were sent to a small crowded office with a desk at the end of it with one member of staff on it.. this was going to be a long wait!Being the groups biggest/most popular park you would expect them to atleast be on par with Thorpe's and Chessingtons admissions but this wasnt the case, it took ages because this one poor woman had to deal with god knows how many annual pass's at the same time whilst speaking to customers on the phone, what all that was about I dont know, once she was dealing with us it was all ok, although one small thing was Ian needed a reprint, when he said that she looked like he was talking in some foreign language, then informing him he can only get this done at Thorpe Park.. great thats 200 miles away. Eventually after talking to somone else and taking his details he was issued with a ticket and that was sorted.Once we got in the park we headed straight to air, it had about a 10 min q which was more than reasonable, it was great to hear the origianl air theme back, its nice that they have paid up the royaltys to keep the decent music and learning from mistakes, staff were great, kind but very efficient at there jobs and our train was loaded in no time and had a great ride on air. After that its mostly abit of a mish mash so erm yea ill comment on little bits!Muteny bay is just amazing! This is somthing we very badly lack down here, the theming is absoloutly top notch both around the area and the rides them selves and Battle Galleons has to be one of the best most fun rides ive ever been on! It was brilliant, disppite it being blodey freezing and it even breaking my phone, couldnt resist just going back for more!One thing which isnt so great is the targets around the ride which seem to do nothing, I'm not sure if there targets to just have somthing to aim at (If so dont bother, its much more fun aiming at people!) or if they just are not finished yet, only time will tell!Pictures Removed Due To Sizes exceeding board rulesI hate this ride, I will have a fear of ducks for ever after entering that tunnel!In conclusion Alton Towers is amazing, whilst our parks are good, alton towers really shows how things should be done.If What merlin have done for the towers this year is a sign of whats to come to Thorpe Park and Chessington I very much look forward to it.

It last took your picture in 2005!And regards to the queue, its never going to come back, in all honesty I doubt X has an awful long time left in the park.

We have all heard this to much!It used to be cool!

Not much I imagine.Mines attached, its abit strange looking on the screen cos I have 2 monitors and one isnt as big as the other yet

I like your gadgets adzy, where are they from?

Hmm on Detonator I think thats perfectly fine :DI wouldnt ride it with no seatbelt anyway!

The restraint believe it or not.. Yes.. Yes if they are not pushed down fully.. not a problem. The fact that they have a fail safe system and are locked.. they can not be opened mid cycle, certainly not in normal operation, and that slammer incident believe what you like. The restraints on rush are designed to give you a safe thrilling ride. I'm yet to die on slammer..
