Corkscrew hurts ya head real bad apparently so dont go on that lol. and obviously rita cos its new. I went on the indoor dark one too, but thats not there now! The 2 water rides are classics too, lots of fun...ohhh i cant wait :D

~sexy_biatch~

DJDanny2020
July 15th '05, 11:19 PM

~sexy_biatch~
July 15th '05, 11:22 PM

July 15th '05, 11:42 PM
When i went to Alton Towers (we had to leave home a 6:45! lol) i managed to get on Air, Oblivion, Nemesis, Corkscrew, Submission, Enterprise, thats about it lol because my mate who came with us dyed his hair copper and he said that if it got wet it woulda turned green! Anyway, it was a wicked day out.

I haven't been on those Skylift things, what are they like or should i say what were they like ? lol. Anyone hear about those Ropers people who apparently moved next door to AT's just to sue them !?!?

Riccardo
July 15th '05, 11:51 PM
I love the cable cars when they stop right over the middle of the Valley because its raining and to dangerous to move them, also every1 looks like ants whos on the trail!

The Nemesis is great just make sure you dont look down or when your going fast you can't move your head! Oblivion sucks! The Air and Corkscrews pretty cool and you do bang you head alot on the corkscrew! I also waited to get on the front of Air!
I love the Rip Saw(Think thats what you call it) when it lowers you into the water face first!

jesus'_bright_red_pants
July 16th '05, 10:31 AM
yeah the Corkscrew kills your head. I found the Nemisis to do so as well as I pushed my head back which strained it. When I went we got stuck on the Oblivion (at the top) and Air (the bit before you start to fly down!) was a right laugh.

Jessicar
July 16th '05, 12:29 PM
i went with my school on wednesday. I was scared of going on air, coz iv never been into really "scary" rollercoasters before. i had a mental breakdown when we had to queue an hour, and another when we were strapped in the seats and the floor went down and it turned you face down. everyone was laughing and screaming when it started moving, i was just there going "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD" and then i had a laughing fit coz my friend next to me just suddenly said "my boobs hurt". but it was fun.
i was too scared to go on ripsaw...lol. i no longer mind rollercoasters, i just dont like some other things. :S ah well im weird.
Didnt have much time to go on many other rides :(
Went on the spinball though. that was sort of fun. did anyone else go on that?

MathewS
July 16th '05, 01:44 PM
I went about 2 months ago. was brill the first day but it was raining on the second day. Not that bad though bcoz i skipped the 3 hours queue for Ride Rita. I got tickets off the sky ride since it stopped for 30 min :p.

xxrachxx
July 16th '05, 03:26 PM
iv been once and that was last september for my 16th with my 2 best mates... i loved the waterrides... got soaked..... went on a few things.. id LOVE to go again.. how much is it? oooh might try and find a coach trip down!!! :D

Scotty Walds
July 16th '05, 07:35 PM
I went with a few mates from college to celebrate end of the year. Went on everything about twice lol

Shane
July 16th '05, 08:09 PM
We should try and find out the prices and contact details, if a large group of us go as a website thing we might be able to stay the night and get a discount cause if i review the outing then we are publicising it for them!!!

Scotty Walds
July 16th '05, 08:10 PM
We found on Ebay these 2 for 1 offers. Were valid :D

xxrachxx
July 16th '05, 09:16 PM
id go... could book a coach... but it would depend on how much it costed

DJDanny2020
July 16th '05, 11:33 PM
a ticket is £28 i think, but you can easily find discount vouchers, from paper and tourist information etc

xxrachxx
July 16th '05, 11:40 PM

DJDanny2020
July 16th '05, 11:44 PM

xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx
July 17th '05, 02:52 AM
A theme park, I think. Kinda like 6 Flags.

Matty
July 17th '05, 03:35 AM
Ooo, okay like Cedar POint and shit like that ehre... ok, nice, isi t big!?

Riccardo
July 17th '05, 11:59 AM
Yeah its a theme park im not sure if its big next to the theme parks your have over there but its most likely the biggest in England

Matty
July 17th '05, 12:02 PM
cool, one questions... do you all get up at 12:30 pm? Because everyone jsut swarmed in here at 12:30, lol

Riccardo
July 17th '05, 12:05 PM
I do if i have not made any plans, I don't know about every1 else

Matty
July 17th '05, 12:06 PM
lol, i guess it goes for shane, cause he got up at 12:40, lol

xxrachxx
July 17th '05, 12:07 PM
alton towers.. is really big, aand brilliant! and ye lol i was on here at 12.30.. but i only woke up at 11.30

Shane
July 17th '05, 01:38 PM
I am making the most of sleeping in! :P

Danny, do you have a car?

Would be easier if people got a lift their than getting a coach or something...


If people are up for it i will try and organise it for around the end of august or in winter so more people can come!

If we get a discount we could stay at the Alton Towers hotel for the night too....


And the Hall Of Mirrors would be a good place to get some grooup photos! LOL

Riccardo
July 17th '05, 01:41 PM
I think end of august is way to early do it sometime early next year when the members have grown and no one has an excuse for not coming :P

Shane
July 17th '05, 01:43 PM
We could go at Christmas then, would be good, they have all the themed stuff then!!!

Riccardo
July 17th '05, 01:48 PM
Yeah, i just dont it to early coz i wanna make sure i can drive there! Driving to Alton Towers is how you become an adult along with other things :P

Shane
July 17th '05, 01:50 PM
LOL

So who wpould be going in the car with you???

Just local people round here??

We would have to work out how to pay in advance too....

Riccardo
July 17th '05, 02:04 PM
Well the people i know in person would have first dips and any room left anyone local who wants 2 come!

MathewS
July 17th '05, 02:32 PM
i would drive. but dont expect it to be free.

jesus'_bright_red_pants
July 17th '05, 03:03 PM
Yeah obviously put-to towards petrol and stuff.

Shane
July 17th '05, 03:05 PM
Yeah, anyone going in the cars would do that! Abit unfair otherwise!

Riccardo
July 17th '05, 03:33 PM
Not only that it would still be faster and cheaper then by coach!

Shane
July 17th '05, 03:34 PM
Yeah, so me and you will be going in your Porsche right?

Riccardo
July 17th '05, 03:36 PM
lol, Yeah its only a 2 seater but there space in the boot!

DJDanny2020
July 17th '05, 06:59 PM
Lol i dont think its even open in winter so that wont be any good will it! lol

Yes i have a car and yes i could drop in at sheffield n take a few people in the car with me (rach in the boot) hehe

Would be kool if we all went there!
And matty as if you dont know what alton towers was lol biggest and best theme park in england!

Matty
July 17th '05, 10:37 PM
dude, im serious, i didnt know what it was, im from canada. i don't know the europe stuff. lol

i should come too, maybe i can smuggle myself over in a lil kayak, lol

xxrachxx
July 17th '05, 10:41 PM

Shane
July 18th '05, 07:51 PM

DJDanny2020
July 18th '05, 08:21 PM
Thats kool with me :D not far at all for me :p hehe

you should get the train down, shouldnt be too much!

Shane
July 18th '05, 08:28 PM
Yeah, would be better if we could camp there too and spend longer there!! You know of anywhere to stay Danny?

DJDanny2020
July 18th '05, 08:36 PM
erm theres some site next to pleasure island, like a campsite but i dunno if u can pitch tents. Plenty of hotels up sea front :p

Shane
July 18th '05, 08:38 PM
Well if alot of us go and we are only kids we need somewhere that is both cheap and will let us stay there!

jesus'_bright_red_pants
July 18th '05, 08:38 PM
Last time I went to PI in Cleethorpes I was sick.

DJDanny2020
July 18th '05, 08:41 PM
Yeah P.I is shite! :p

well could pitch a tent in my back yard lol, no promises tho

Shane
July 18th '05, 09:29 PM
LOL, I don't suppose it is legal to camp on beacj anywhere cause that would be cool! :P

Riccardo
July 18th '05, 10:53 PM
I wouldn't if it were legal, what about when the tide comes in? :P

xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx
July 18th '05, 10:54 PM
You can camp on the beaches in North Carolina...

xxrachxx

Riccardo
July 18th '05, 10:56 PM
Id be to worried about the tide coming and carrying me away to sleep!

xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx
July 18th '05, 10:58 PM
Nah. You sleep way up on the beach. There are signs before you get actually on to the beach that tell you what time the tide will be and stuff.

Plus you can drive your car right on the beach, so if you really wanted you could sleep in that.

xxrachxx
July 18th '05, 10:59 PM

MathewS
July 18th '05, 11:16 PM
