Alton Towers General Discussion

Well the media are on the bandwagon again. Articles like these are the main reason I don't buy national daily newspapers. Always the case that when a big incident happens the media start blowing it out of proportion for months afterwards. A breakdown would never have been mentioned before smiler in the newspapers.

You just know the videos going to be bad when it's called "Riding the rollercoaster that crashed". He then refers to Spinball Whizzer as "Mario Pinball" (?) And says the Smiler has 40 loops. K.

Surely the entire thing is being able to brace yourself, is it not? Surely she can. I have a friend with one arm and he just came back from good times in Orlando!

Also with Air in the press for it's lift stoppage, it's suprising that it took so long, as the ride staff are trained to evacuate as quicklhy as possible. Not sure of the timings, but they want to avoid any suspension trauma to guests from the flying position in the breaks or lift.
