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.

Alton Towers rocks! Nemesis is the best ride by far, Rapids is fun with lots of friends.
Toyland tours rocks, I'm 18 but hell I still went on it.
I won a massive cow teddy bear thing once on the basketball game, got both shots in (I rule) and had to lug around with me for most of the day before dumping the damn thing at that locker place.
Alton Towers rules, no one but me deserves to go there. :)

You know those swan things? Where they go around the track under the water? A load of us lads went on them (just to look gay) and some of us started rocking the thing. I swear, we came THIS close to going over. I nearly threw them in the water myself, I did NOT fancy spending 3 or 4 hours on a bus in soaking, then eventually damp, clothes

I thought I was the only one!
We went chessington and the catapults were crap so we just lobbed them at eachother...
My mate who had decided to stand outside and look after the bags got rather wet, we threw baloons at the little fence round the outside and they exploded through!
Classic..
Andyway, when my 500 water bombs get delivered this week, i should have some fun!

Oblivion rules, but it is indeed too short. It should be a real roller coaster, with all the turns and loop the loops etc, THEN have the big drop. Still rules though
Nemesis is poop, I felt ill on it, and was glad it was over, and never went on again (we queued for almost an hour to get on, didn't fancy queuing again) The place was packed when I was there, long queues, which sucked. My mate kept pushing in and he even stole a key chain (with Oblivion written on it) from one of the stands, just to see if he could. He still has it now, three years later. Classic

Drayton Manour (that was an intentional spelling mistake) is alright I suppose, Shockwave sucks, Stormforce rules. Alton Towers kicks Manour's butt in nearly every department apart from Alton Towers lacking a decent water ride. The log flume there is a pile of cack.
I went about 4 weeks ago now, it was quite busy but we got on all the rides I wanted to.
Nemisis - Best ride there, it rocks!
Oblivion - Pretty cool, the shortness of it sucks though.
Corkscrew - Bah, I wish this ride would screw off.
Air - Rules, a close second to Nemisis.
Black Hole - This ride simply sucks, it's the only word I can use which won't get shot down my the filter.
Ripsaw - Brilliant, best scenary in the park when you're queuing, if y'know what I mean ;-).
Errmm, there are some more, but they probably suck, especially that Submission thing, that should be torn down and declared crappy by all.

Drayton is gay like Grix :) Has Shockwave and Storm Force, but thats it. Admittedly, Storm Force is better than Log Flume.
And Black Hole is Ok when you've got girls who don't mind you being between their legs.
