"Alton Towers"

Is it any good? I'm going on tuesday though I've never been but am quite a fan of rollercoasters and stuff.

Give me some recomendations of the best rides and stuff, those of you who've been.

Oh, and are the queues really huge?

I was too young to go on Air last time. ;-(

Except me, scroll down a bit. Nemesis is excellent though, as is it's brother coaster Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park :D

If it's a really hot day, and you want to get 'really' wet, then i suggest Ripsaw. Me and a mate went on it last time i went with school, and we went on it just before getting on the bus... that wasnt such a good idea, but it was a great ride...

No-one's talked about that new ride, Spinball Whizzer. That's meant to be really good, apart from the cheesy decorations. No two rides are the same, as the seats spin round whilst the carraige turns corners. It can be intense depending who weighs what and sits where.

Oh, and I'm also surprised that nobody has mentioned the still brilliant Nemesis.

And the other "big name" rollercoaster there is The Corkscrew, which I didn't like very much because its actually painful as its very jerky and has tight, sharp corners.

Oh, and isn't there some new one for this year? Where you're in a pinball machine or summat? I went last year so I wouldn't know what it was like.

I'm going inJuly with school, so cues will be massive.

I am not the biggest fan of roolercoaster and don't like the loop - the - loos but can mangae speed, so which ones would I like?

It's better than disneyland paris.

AIR is pretty thrilling, or at least it was for me when I went. You sort of get strapped in facing up towards the sky with your body leaning forward, and are still subjected to going upside down.

Probably the most unique rollercoaster you'll go on.

Make sure you go on Air first, it seems to get pretty busy plus you can't actually go on a similar ride anywhere else (although it isn't that greater ride, more of an experience)

Otherwise, just make sure you go on Oblivion and Nemesis...
