    Another note: When Going on Vortex, if you sit in the seats that are just right to being opposite to the waiting bay you are guaranteed top swing. Try it for yourself, but I worked it out and was right both times.

    Well, thats not exactly true, when I go on Vortex I usually go to the other side of the gondula as you walk in. I usually get top swing that way. I think the opp starts it swinging at random so it proberly dont really matter where you sit. May be wrong though

    oh dear, detonator is closed! Anyone know if it will open tommorow ?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Look dude were not engineers. Its like what the staff say when you ask them how long it will be until the ride opens, they say they are unsure.But I predict that it may open, just will have a lot of down time.

  17. Alton Towers Trip Reports

    After a year of waiting, myself Beth and James took a trip to Alton Towers. The car journey took 2 and a half hours? but somehow it seemed to fly by. We arrived at the park at 12:00 and went straight over to Oblivion. It had about a 15 minuet queue, which wasn't bad at all! We had a great ride on it. It was a great ride to start with and get a good adrenaline pump from. We then walked past the Towers and into Hex, which had a queueline just inside the building. That only took 15 minuets aswel, I was suprised how quick the queue was moving. When inside the Volt, that illusion must be the best I have ever seen.Both visits were both pritty bad weather, especially Sunday which was mostly rain. Rita did hurt a bit with all the rain spitting in your face, but was still a good ride. People was going into the toilet just to warm their hands up with the dryer! (including me) I was glad that I managed to have a few decent rides on Nemesis, unlike the last time I went to Alton Towers it made me see Black and white vision from the back row. Tbh I think it makes Nemesis Inferno as fun as the rocky express. Air was great aswel, whilst we was in the station, the train before us moved into position and some girl started screaming and shouting "GET ME OFF" so then the opp emergancy stopped the ride to get her off, which was annoying. I found the staff at Alton was reasonably ok. Most ride attendants were pritty dull, except for the Squirrel Nutty ride attendant who was telling us jokes just before we loaded. They wasn't that funny, but its good to see some effort being done. General staff around the park was happy, when I went to buy a photo of our group around the park, the man behind the counter said to us "oh this is a nice one, you are carrying a Alton Towers map, now whenever you look back at that photo, you will know where its from" Which I thought was nice of him to say. Good points-Not too busy-Liked the fact that we had 30 mins extra in the park due to Annual Passes-Experience was amazing-Food was great-Nemesis Station music and Rita music-Sat to a nice boy on runaway mine train, who seemed to know more about the ride than me :|Bad Points-Weather was horrible-Lost on Duel-Spinball Whizzers queue took ages-Didn't get to ride The Flume AGAIN-Haunted Hollow was pritty patheticRide Count for both daysAir - 3Nemesis - 3Rita - 4Oblivion - 4Hex - 2Enterprise - 1Submission - 1Congo river rapids - 1Runaway mine train - 1Spinball Whizzer - 1Duel - 2 Blade - 1Ripsaw - 1Charlie - 1Beastie - 1Squirrel nutty - 1Corkscrew - 2Tea cups - 1And I think that was all!

    I dont think there are many Liverpool fans on TPM? I do hope they win tonight though, I predict extra time and then penalties... Will be a very evan game but good... Maybe 3-3? Liverpool are going to have to be playing amazing though, Kaka to me is one of the best players in the world! He Owned United

    The sort of teams which have 0-0 every week etc. Also, when have you ever seen a Aston Villa fan, I'm amazed we have a Charlton fan also on our forums though.. very rare :|

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I remember when I went to Watford v Man utd in F.A Cup semi final and when we were going into the stadium (Villa Park) we did see alot of Aston Villa fans, who were saying to the Watford fans " Beat the c***s " Which means they didnt like Man utd... In which I like Aston Villa =]
