Alton Towers General Discussion
Yep we went the first week of Scarefest last year, and with the exception of the Smiler which had a bit of a queue first thing, it was so dead! We're going this year on October 21st I personally wouldn't recommend buying any Fastrack whatsoever, but then I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns

Do you mind, that's Merlin's finest themeing you're talking about

They'd even gone to the effort of weighting down some of the crisp packets to stop them blowing away (so someone could come and pick them up)...

Going back to the grammar complaints - "would of" incorrectly used in place of "would have" (or could of/could have) seems to be the new your/you're that grinds my gears That, and the fact when I went down to Southsea beach yesterday evening for a little swim, the fact that rubbish was just left on the beach when there are bins within eyesight. Picked it up like a good citizen. People make me sick...

New vending machines... in a shipping container? So beautiful.

Prefer these to Thorpe's - but even that said, Thorpe's new ones are miles and above better than the previous scrolling LED versions

Rumba Rapids
There's no doubt about it, you will get wet!

Rumba Rapids
EXCLUSIVE: 2015 will see Rumba rethemed as Rusty Rapids, with numerous shipping containers and rusty metal scattered around the ride, and the dark section rethemed to a warehouse - who knows what rusty theming lies within! Dare you brave the orange waters of Rusty Rapids?

Stealth
I'm sure everyone knows but Stealth station has a little countdown timer presumably as a target for quick dispatch. Any reason why Stealth has this but no other ride does? Or is it just that Stealth has the only visible timer (Saw has one too thinking about it, but that's partially for theming reasons and normally isn't synced right anyway...!)

The worst thing is when you see grammatical errors (normally apostrophes) on professionally made signs. I would've thought grammar and spelling would be a pre-requisite

Fastrack
To add to fastrack discussion - I've never bought one, and never would, out of principle. Kaithanxbai.

I did check my post many times for typos before posting

"Your" and "you're" are two different words. Any argument online where the wrong one is used renders said person's argument null and void

Angry Birds Land
I see from Facebook photos that the "road" and curbs are still there in Angry Birds Land, with half faded single yellow line - the horror! Photos From TPM Facebook - you'll see that there is new brickwork underneath the arch to replace the road, but it's still there when you get to Detty.... and does anyone know why there are tram tracks in Amity Cove in the road - or is that theming?
