That's strange because my last ride on Rita (22nd May) was soo smooth and great! Their was the odd jolt once but it wasn't painful at all compared the my other rides on it, it was even more smoother than... Nemesis on that day! I think Rita was the best ride of the day (apart from Oblivion but that doesn't need to be told its the best )

Now all the wing riders are fully in action I have re-started this topic again! Which wing rider train looks better? Furius Baco Raptor Wild Eagle Or X-Flight I did not add The Swarm this time because I wanted people to choose the other section of wing-riders other than our own

OH MY look how themed it is!... oh yeah and some people are in a box Merlin PR at its best

That was a really helpful post wasn't it Anyway, as said above, get the train from St Pancras to Stoke-On-Trent then get the Alton Towers bus from Stoke Station Times and Prices of the Alton Towers bus and any other information can be found here : http://www.altontowers.com/events/how-to-find-us/ Hope this helps

From just the reactions of the people in this video, it looks greatly improved! People are now saying its much better and feedback as been more positive Must get back to Alton Towers now!

A little bit too late for my feet now But public pressure wins again To the next budget cut leading to a public up roar! *raises glass*

Yes, all the main big rides do support a single rider and bank holidays are normally quiet its the day before and after that are busy Enjoy your visit!

That's going to make the exit lifts alot darker... I don't like the idea of the exit scaremaze, it just says to me "Sub-Terra wasn't scary enough so we going to get people to scream in your face to make it scary" Which is dislike, I fear after these changes it may make the ride worse for me personal and not something I would like to re-ride but enough negativity! I'm excited to see these changes and hope it won't make the ride worse for me

I was also thinking a mega-lite for Drayton! Dropping into a tight bend over the lake And is a first for the Uk so yes please!

*blows dust of this topic* I'll just repost what was on TowersTimesForum by the member Don't_Look_Down Really excited to see who the manufacturer of the 2014 Rollercoaster will be (Prays not for vekoma) Not sure what we might see but another major coaster is always welcomed! Excited for my trip in July now, though rather worried about Shockwave, not looking forward to riding that!

The comic is pretty cool and could be the starter for the 2013 attraction, has Towers already had a Nemesis comic they didn't really need this also both Raptor & Nemesis have laid eggs... Something tells me they need to get these Merlin Monsters the contraceptive pill Would be cool if they did a Nemesis vs Raptor vs Swarm vs Krake comic! Would be better than many of the DC & Marvel comics

I much agree, Sub-Terra 1.1 was very good to me personal and instead of leaving me with mixed feelings I came off laughing, however length and the 1st lift needs improving so by the sounds of this, it is to improve them & more, but yet again it isn't the scary it made out to be, shame really but I still highly rate the attraction

This is great news! I await the improvements, bit upset that its close when I'm visiting but I'm not complaining about improvements I hope this changes the rides and what people think of the ride but I think it is too late for that, Pretty much everyone knows "Sub-Terrible" and nothings going to change their mind to ride it because the simply minded will think nothings changed, shame really but its the GP for you

A POV of my favorited looking Usa coaster of 2012! The effects are amazing, and it looks so much fun! Thirteen step aside theirs a better forest themed family coaster now Also love the little nod towards Big Bad Wolf, well done busch!

Ahhh Just as Myself and others are going to visit on the 22nd But improvements will be welcomed so Sub-Terra 1.2 I await to ride you!

Already!? Also I wonder if Mack track painters only work on one colour...

Better POV of X-flight, looks good! But I feel like The Swarms Inversion looks more tighter while X-flights looks more dragged out

Only reason I could think of for it closing for a week is for the drops or bottom chamber, both being improved would be greatly welcomed

Oblivion closed today after a man needed to be rescued http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-17999937

Epic work as always Javs! Swarm Island is very big from above!

Bing Bling at its new home

Wow, Leviathan lair is really creepy and themed so well Where is the mist, rockwork and erm DARK TUNNEL?

I can say that Sub-Terra is on my do-list for all visits but as a whole, it is a filler, so its just their if you got any spare time and a nice addition to the park and Forbidden valley, plus its another dark ride so great for when the weather is bad and February Half Term

Great video of Verbolten! IMO the best looking coaster opening this May
