So I went to alton towers in the summer and never really got round to do a trip report and my opinion on the park until now. So here it is :-)
As we only had one day at the park we decided to go for the whole day, 10-6. We managed to do all of the main rides including a couple of rerides which was good. The park as a whole was much better than Thorpe, with a much nicer atmosphere.
Oblivion
We started the day with oblivion because the smiler had not opened yet and it was right next door. Oblivion was a short yet fantastic experience and is definitely in my top 20 coasters. Maybe it isn't as effective if you have ridden it many times, but as a first time rider I really enjoyed it and was generally scared at the top. I would give oblivion a solid 7/10
The Smiler
I wasn't expecting that much from this ride, just a relatively thrilling experience that wouldn't really compare too much to oblivion. All I can say is that I completely underestimated how good this ride would be. It looks great, the queue is great and it was definitely my favourite ride of the day. I love the way that it is so long, and the way you kind of stop at the top of every inversion. All in all an amazing ride that had me disoriented and dizzy by the end of it. 11/10
Air
I had never ridden a rollercoaster like this before so I was super excited to try this one out. And just as I imagined, it was great fun. Its one of those rides that you can do over and over again, and still find it really fun. Just as expected, a really fun coaster. 7/10
Nemesis
OK, so if now is the time for quite a large portion of controversy. I knew this ride would be good, and don't get me wrong, it was good and I did enjoy it. But, I really don't think it was as good as everyone says it is. It was fast, exhilarating and fun, but I don't think it lived up to my high expectations. If I was to choose between original or inferno, and I hate to say this, but I would have to say inferno... I do apologize folks. 6.5/10
Rita
Didn't think much of this ride, basically I dont think that it was anything too special, I would definitely pick stealth over it any day. It was a lot of fun, but by far the poorest coaster of the day for me. 5/10
Th13teen
I really enjoyed this ride, partly because I had no clue about the drop at the end. It was one of the best rides of the day for me and it is a really strong family coaster. 6/10
Sub-terra
Very strong attraction that did really well to create a sense of panic, and I really enjoyed it. Most definitely nit a rerideable attraction but as a one off it was superb. Not so sure on the scare maze ending, but apart from that it was really good.
I wont bother on the smaller rides but they were good aswell. Overall a great day, and I really enjoyed alton towers, and hope to return soon. :-)

Went to fright nights twice this year, just gonna give my thoughts and opinions of the mazes. This will contain spoilers just to prewarn you.
In total we managed to do CITW, Blair witch and studio 13 twice. Saw & Valentine we only managed once.
Saw-Alive
Last year this maze was my second favourite and was very chaotic. This year it was shocking. As far as I can remember, pretty much all the rooms were lit up, and although you could see the detailed theming really really well, it completely killed the atmosphere and the tension.I only counted around 6-8 actors in there and no pig men at all. This was by far the weakest maze and for that reason we didn't do it again. Theming 10/10 definitely. But overall experience, I would say 3/10.
My bloody Valentine
I was pretty nervous about this one because I had heard a lot of things about how you get split up and made to crawl through tight spaces. However, when we went in it seemed very rushed, we didn't get split up, or made to crawl through a tunnel. Instead, we were rushed through with little to no scares whatsoever and it felt only 60 seconds long. I was also disappointed to see no Harry warden. My bloody Valentine was better than saw alive, because it was very dark and the actors did a good job of coming out of nowhere to scare you. The actor at the end was the best actor all night though, and was great fun to watch from the queueline. 5/10
Studio 13
I was at the front for this one and I was very excited after hearing a lot of good things about it. There was a lot of actors in this maze and the theming was excellent. I especially liked the part where there was about five actors in a freeze frame and they all came running at you. It didn't feel like asylum at all. There were some great scares in the maze, and it produced a lot of tension as you wait to see what is around the next corner. The chainsaw ending, I believe would work really well if you are at the back of the line, but it isn't that effective otherwise. Overall it was a good, solid maze but it wasn't the best. 7/10
Cabin in the woods
This maze was absolutely brilliant both times we went in, and was definitely the most scary and fun maze that we did. The dark corridor at the start was really effective in building the tension. I loved the forest scene, even if there weren't any actors in there the first time we went through. It has much improved from last year and it was jammed packed full of actors. They just came out of nowhere, blocking your path, dragging you away from you group, or shoving you in another room. Cabin in the woods was intense, chaotic, and a whole lot of fun. The best maze this year. 9/10
Blair witch project
We were evacuated from this one, aswell, and it did kind of add to the experience. Last year this
attraction was very poor and this year it has been greatly improved. The use of torches was great and some of the actors really did make me jump. Although it didn't fit to the film, it was still loads of fun and I really enjoyed it. The b&q half price summer sale shed was much better aswell. 7/10
The roaming actors were fantastic, 10/10 for them this year, absolutely amazing. All in all a great year for fright nights and I'm looking forward to see what next year brings!

Would you guys recomend going to saw alive straight away, and then doing valentine or the other way round?
