You know when you were 4 years out and you did dot to dot books, but instead of making something look smooth and natural it just looked horribly disjointed because you made each connection with really straight lines. My other thought was it looks like a really big helicopter has just attacked Rita. But anyway, it's good that people like it.

Of course everyone becomes legal at 17 in.... the twilight zone.
Or go through Runaway trains fire exit, turn right and go all the way up through the queueline, over the bridge and out the entrance. That was always good comedy value as an operator.
Does anyone remember when Corkscrew and Rita's queuelines ran right next to each other, people would jump over Rita's fences to try and skip the walk only to come out of Corkscrew's entrance. Those were the days.
FOUR INVERSIONS
I made that post two years ago, I doubt he even works there anymore. I don't even remember the person I made that post about
I'd suggest you look at the date that this poll was started.
Benin trying not to look to geeky on a games forum"Don't care about the rest of it, but that blue coaster looks ridiculously amazing..."YOU KNOW ITS NAME AND RIDE TYPE BENIN, DONT LIE.
The graphic Alton are using for the promotion. Fantastic stuff. It's been said a few times but I'm repeating it anyway. This is the kind of marketing the park should play on, it really is sublime and get's people talking about what Alton Towers is all about. The rides.
The way they've treated you Paul, I wouldn't give them the time of day...
I hear you brother. I adore Fury but it really doesn't deserve to be at Chessington anymore. 300 throughput in the rain for a rollercoaster that appeals to every park visitor, it's a recipe for disaster. Why they don't do something about it is even worse. Why have a ride that can't run properly is ridiculous, idiotic and stupid.
Some excellent replies guys, Sheepie as always has made me think more about how we define rides, why we put them into particular categories such as thrill, family, kiddy, water, dark, coaster, flat when surely there so many exceptions to this rule that trying to shoehorn a ride into a category is pointless and defeates the point of rides.Pluk bought up my favourite point actually, how can we live without the other. Parks need all types of rides to satisfy all audiences. They need their high and fast thrill rides, they need the interactive dark ride, their log flume and rapids ride to satisfy every visitor. And there's no reason why rides like Loggers and Monkey Swinger can't be more enjoyable then Rita and Rameses Revenge.
Anyone watching Torchwood: Miracle Day? Nasty stuff, I'm firmly pro death after watching some of the effects in that episode.
Ironically, when you say our "pathetic, small little lives", thats probably what these people thought or felt before they decided to commit suicide. I think differently. The action of one person taking their lives in such dramatic ways effects more people then just the driver who had to live through that moment or the people at stations who saw it.What about the tens of thousands people stuck all around Surrey and the South of England because of what to me is a selfish act. All those people have somewhere they need to be, could be something trivial like getting home from work or it could be a mother and father getting to a hospital to say goodbye to a dying family member. The ripple effect of one person taking their own lifes in such a way, for whatever reason, hurts so many others.
Even better, call them.
Gonna go on record here and say Alton have done wonders with this adveritsing campaign.
Oh Oblivion. You are wonderful.

Nemesis 5/5 Perfect ride. After almost 20 years it is the best B&M, the best inverter and the most pure adrenaline pumping thrill I have yet to encounter, Sublime.Oblivion 5/5 Never loses the beat with its trick. It's a shame it's in the same park as Nemesis. If it was at Thorpe it would knock its four mediocre coasters out of view.Air 4/5 not as good as Manta but closer to pure flight.Rita 2/5. LAUNCH INTO A CORNER. That will always work out well won't it Intamin.Thirteen 2/5. All atmosphere, no substance. Shame as it could have rivalled Nemesis at the park.
Who have you voted?!Firmly in the Nemesis camp here.
