Alton Towers

Went today for the first time, absolutly amazing. Ride of the day was probably Air as that was the one i were looking forward to the most and it lived up to expectations but on thrill factor Oblivion would definatly come first. Least favourite would probably be Nemesis, i loved the actual ride but was so scared queuing for it, specially as it took so long, the more i had to watch it the more time i had to realise that i hated hanging coasters and that the corkscrews didnt look too friendly but once we'd been on it i realised it was actually a quality ride.

Anyone been before, if so, what dya reckon, best rides, worst rides, ect.

Been a few times, always when its packed 

Rita is pretty good. It tells you to look at the lights and before you have chance your gone at about 90mph.

Oblivion is crap IMO, you queue for 2 hours and the ride is over in 30 seconds.

Last time I went Rita had to be closed so everybody in the queue got a pass so they could jump a queue on a ride of their choice. The staff never took these vouchers off us and we got onto more rides in 1 hour than we did all day.

Rita seems pretty unreliable as it closed yesterday too after we'd been on it, it was a fantastic ride, just too short really. We went on oblivion first so we only had to queue for around 10 mins but later on it did have a ridiculous queue just like the rest of the rides. We spent like an hour, after we'd been on the main rides, jus on the battle galleons simply cos there was no queue.
