Because I had a ticket, and it seemed like the right thing to do. Despite some big black bloke being in front of me in the queue, I perserved and me and three of my mates ran to Nemesis, laughing at the fat people waddling along. They had "Extreme Upper Body Dimensions" according to Alton Towers. Haha. I wanted someone to shout at them for being fat. But they didn't. So we went on Nemesis 3 times for the hell of it, because queues were short. Got a photo of me in a thoughtful pose, perhaps wondering if we are really here. Actually I was looking at KFC. So then we went on the new ride Air, which is cool, but still full of fat people. Where do they all come from? I swear America ships them over here when they begin to sink. Anyway, we laughed at the people who queue for half an hour extra just to sit at the front. I noticed at least 2 Slipknot hoodies among them. I was tempted to clout them, but I didn't. After Air was time for KFC. Crispy Strips meal, if you're wondering. Which you aren't.
After that the girls skipped to a gay place called Ugland, which is painted pink and yellow and is blatantly where Grix lived. So me and someone else who you don't know so I won't bother saying his name went and bought 10 water ballons and the priveledge of using catapults to lob them at each other. After wasting 2 realised the catapults were crap, we ran around the arena type thing pelting each other with them. Which was nice. Then we went on the GAY GAY GAY Corkscrew. That got boring quickly. So I voted Oblivion because I rule, and everyone followed me. Oh, and I was given a big inflatable club from the water balloon place. I must have won, somehow. So I battered people with that until I got bored about 5 seconds later. After going on Oblivion I have come to the conclusion that it sucks. Its got one big drop and you queue 30 minutes for the priveledge of it. Gay. Black Hole was more fun, but not much. That whole zone pretty much sucks, but it did have another KFC, so I took a Popcorn Chicken box off their hands for the walk to the Log Flume and River Rapids. Girls wearing white tops - excellent. I approve. Then back to Forbidden Valley place for another go on Air, then 3 goes on Ripsaw. Crazy guy who drove it was on his last day at Alton Towers so he didn't bother avoiding the water jets at all and I got drenched. Pah. But on a good note there weren't any Germans there.
Alton Towers rules. I rule. Oh yes.

Yeah, I live four miles away (Or, maybe 5). It's a good ride an all, but a) goes too fast, meaning you don't actually get the maximum fun on the loops and b) is too short. The good thing is that they hve two queues, one for the front, and one for the back. The back ALWAYS is the quickest (20mins on a full queue), yet the fools always try and queue at the front. :c) Old people, pfft!

Ahh yes, the old faithful water bomb pen. Me and my mates took it to the next level and started to pelt innocent passers by, only to be threatened by the lady who gave out the water bombs. She said if we didn't keep inside the pen, she'd have to call security. Didn't stop her from giving us more water bombs though.

Nemisis was cool
Oblivian was cool - But the only problem with Oblivion is that it is TO DAMN SHORT
Air - Was Brilliant when i went, But it is mad when you sit down and get ready to go, you get strapped in, harnis down then the floor lowers and then the seats move upwards so your facing the floor, then off we went.

I did spent about 3 hours on a train home in soaking clothes, because a) denin doesn't dry easily b) Gay bloke on Ripsaw who was gay in his gayness. Or he just wanted to soak all the girls, which I respect. Still, he was gay.
