Alton Towers Trip Reports
Scarefest - Wednesday 20th October 2010(Please be aware this report will contain spoilers!)We arrived around 1pm to a fairly empty car park, pleasing as you may agree! Entrance lovely themed as always... many pumpkins and plastic men! Started off at the west of the park venturing to Nemesis which had many red lights around, I was intrigued, I wanted to know what it looked like at night! Very happy to see it was walk-on. Next came Air as you may of guessed, short delay so we were held at the entrance gate. Withing 5 minutes we were in its peril. 2 stations + 2 Trains do not work. the queue feels like it is dragging till tomorrow! waited about 35 minutes for Air. next we went over to Th13teen & Rita. Ritat being on 1 train had a queue of approx 50 to 60 minutes Th13teen having 3 trains and being 5 minutes. Next stop Hex! Legendary this ride never fails to make me laugh seeing some peoples facial expressions on it! Even though we were stuck with people with annoying flashing green lights and 8 year old screaming girls the ride was amazing as always.Next stop was Terror of The Towers. Amazing maze this be. However the photos holds up the queue far too much. What should of been a 15 to 20 minute queue turned into nearly 40 minutes! Anyways, going through the maze with its elegant features we come close the final scean and the E-Stop alarm goes off and we were evacuated from it. I was extremely dissappointed at how they dealt with the situation. Not once did a staff member say go up the priority queue line and say you were evacuated. I mean seriously? I'm not queueing another 40 minutes, which by the time we went to the priority queue was at a staggering 60ish minutes. However we went back in and all was fine this time around, and as ever was the best of the trio. I felt as though I had a heart attack in the final scene when we were locked into a small enclosure with 2 actors pressurising each side of the meshing. Brilliant touch! Also was dissapointed to see they have gone for the Saw audio type theme. Overall rating 10/10Next we headed over to Pizza-Pasta hut, excellent as always! We did a thumbingly good Duel next! Can't remember what its Scarefest name is but it was damn good!By this time it was around 6/6:30 and darkness was falling on Alton. We headed back over to Nemesis area to find a dimly let Nemesis, was vastly dissapointed about how half the lights are pointing to nothing and are very unaffective. However, the smoke machine in the tunnels were brilliant, taken a leaf out of thorpes Inferno? Maybe so. However it was a nice touch to a good ride. next up we headed over to rita and was pleased to see it on two trains! cold as ever by this time it was linguring around 3 degrees celcius. waited about 20 minutes for it. Th13teen we gave a miss as we were running out of time and still wanted to go to Oblivion so we missed out on Th13teen After dark. I assumed it was similar to SAW - The Ride Comes Alive. (Probably better after Saws faliure). By this time the time was biting our arses and it was about 7 o'clock so we headed over towards the X Sector. On our travels we indured a lovely view of a lit up Towers which was blood red (passage walkway had lit writting, looked amazing!). It was flickering which made it look eerie. We arrived at Oblivion which looked so elegant being lit up the way it did! the moving lights made it tower so high! the mist looks epic! (picture below). After a very VERY cold ride on Oblivion it was time to leave the park and head over to the other mazes. The Boiler HouseWhat happened? They flipped it back to front or something, but it was aweful just like before. It smelt like vomit and p***. The shed from Field Of A Thousand Screams too? I won't even ask why that was plonked in there. Overall rating 4/10Carnival Of ScreamsWasn't too sure what to expect from this one, but it looked quite creepy from the outside! The maze itself was just as creepy, but I'd say very stressful too! with the clowns not helping the situation in a mirror maze missleading doors and hidden mirrors hear their and everywhere you walk into a lot of things and get angry at missleading doors and furniture, I could of died in the final scean when the ape came from behind! I was watching the big box expecting something to pop out. Overall rating 7/10As you may be aware order of my favourites are as follows: Terror of The Towers, Carnival of Screams, The Boiler House.Overall the park was in a somewhat spooky way I suppose, not too sure what hay bales have to do with Hallowe'en but nonetheless if they want to pretend a farm is scary then more fool them!

How Many Trains?
you cant seriously tell me with a straight face oblivion on one station with half the capacity as broken trains on a day that felt emptier then chessington (if possible). Anyways, ona bad note was very dissapointed to see inferno on two trains, when it had 3 people on. should of been on 3 just to get those other 4 people in the queue on quicker!

Sorry to burst your bubble but ive seen lowered capacity at towers. ive seen Oblivion on 4 cars, rita on 1, Nemesis on. These things happen your.

How Many Trains?
my last opinionafter tadys visit is anyone who says it had to be on two trains on any ride needs to think twice after 8 seats locked off on Colossus and still running with empty seats as was all the otehr coasters. Saw inclusive with 7 cars.

Obvioulsy you havent been on a day like it was today. it's not money grabbing its common knowledge you will find it when you drive too on a motorway you will petrol significantly more expensive then a station not on the motor. In this case they know their target market are going to have money they need to make money as do the produces for example Picsolve need to make a profit as does thorpe park. Again, Coke-cola co. need to make a profit they sell for one price you sell for an other no point selling it at 60p a bottle and make no profit. It's how a business will work always have done, and always will do!

How old are you? or are you blinded by 'I'm a fanboy they have to please me'ism? ITS A BLOODY BUSINESS they have an objective to make as much money, they aint guna lose money they do not need to.

How Many Trains?
That's because you know Marc and I's common knowledge is correct. I dont back the park up in everything, I said from the start Saw Alive would be the worst attraction the park has invested 500k in and I still stand by that cos I stand right.

How Many Trains?
This topic has filled me with rage. For starters, Stealth running one train with 10 minute queue means that the time it take to fill one train and go round back into station gives them a bit extra time form a short queue, then you put two trains on then theres a constant flow of people so the queue would struggle to get any form of queue. Just think Stealth 20 people every 40/50 or so seconds making a 10 minute queue with approx 100 people about 2/3 minutes (obvisouly the inflow into queue is varied so will decrease dramatically to less then half of that in seconds). or one train a less constant flow with a short queue where you can garentee full trains significantly reducing the chances of a rollback. Its common knowledge for Stealth. I happened to be in the back today and everytime I gandered to Stealth the queue was only at the bottom of the staires! Even on one train thats not even a 5 minute queue. Right next, Nemesis Inferno, I queued no more then 15 minutes today, on one train as it was. Put two trains on and you struggle to reach a 5 minute queue at any point. why bother wasting hundreds of pounds sending empty trains? I'm sure if you were in the parks position who are only out their to make money you would do the same! why waste money that you want?Again Colossus queued from just outside the building, with two trains thats like me riding alone. Understandibly I wouldnt but as an example.Saw was running 8 cars I believe today with about a 5/10 minute queue, understable with its high throughputs due to the constant inflow and outflow of guests. however even if it was on 6 or 7 cars the queue wouldnt trek beyond 20 minutes. XNWO, though now seemingly inaccessible you can access it but presumably with its walkon today I think it was only running 3 or 4 trains. And the moral of story is, Thorpe are being smart and are not being reckless when they do not need to be.
