  1. I’ve only just got round to reading this - but I really enjoyed it. The first paragraph particularly resonates with me. It was roller coasters and thrills which got me into theme parks, but I soon realised it was the escapism which kept me coming back. I suppose it’s somewhat depressing that a 17 year old craves escapism... but we all do surely. 

     

    Anyway, great read about two parks I’d love to visit.

  2. I really enjoyed this entry!

    one day I will go to Towers and not ride any rides, as it's something I've always wanted to do. However, for the 3 and a half hour drive when I go to the Towers I want to pack as much in as possible. 

    I've been through the gardens numerous times - only to get to the dark forest though! And as for the Towers themselves, Hex is all that I've seen of them. It's a great shame really.

    Although Towers magic has been fading over the past years it still remains one of the most enchanting parks that will always be loved by enthusiasts. As much as I love Thorpe, it really misses magic and I go there purely for the rides, not the overall experience - unlike Towers!

     

  3. Great report!

    It makes me sad knowing Towers is suffering somewhat. More rides are crucial as it feels as of AT only has one thrilling flat ride in Enterprise.

    I'm not going to lie, I want SW8 to be a coaster, a really terrific coaster that will get positive global attention. Saying this, I'd still love the ride to be immersive, highly themed, charming and leave you with the sense of wonder once you depart.For me though, on this occasion, it's thrills over theming.

    Come on Towers get your magic back!
