Shockwave @ Drayton Manor

I would never get sick of Apocalypse. Four rides in one people

Alton Towers is indeed owned by Tussauds, which is a good thing.

Do DM care about their customers?

Alton Towers do, the staff are always friendly.. Plus, £85 for an annual pass for 52 visits to ANY of their themeparks is good value - Wouldn't get that at DM would you?

You should have counted how long the ride lasted before you qued, and if it didn't look like it was worth it, you shouldn't have gone on it.

My brother qued an hour for the oblivion and that's only a Six second ride.

Compare gate figures to Alton Towers and hey

We have the worlds first vertical drop rollercoaster and the worlds flying rollercoaster.

Im sure that beats the worlds first backwards coaster?

Im not arguing, just expressing opinions.

Alton Towers is a family park, it has many family attractions.

Yeah, but Alton Towers has more extreme rides, and you can never get sick of them.

Once you've been on G-Force, Shockwave, Apocalypse, Maelstrom and Pandemonium then that's it. Just 5 extreme boring rides, unless you want to count SF10 as extreme.

The ride isn't 6 seconds.. It takes that time to get from the top too the end of the "hole".

you then other rides which you can relax, going to a theme park is not all about Thrills, its about the whole expierence.
Drayton Manor do care about their customers. However Alton pay to send their employees to go on training courses, teaching how to be friendly etc. Drayton Manor do not have the money to do this.

And Alton Towers have : Nemesis, Air (count that as extreme), Oblivion, Ripsaw. Thats all i can count as Extrememe. O and Spinball Whizzer, and Rita. Actually yer i get your point.

Dm do care about their customers i remember while queing up for g-force a girl started panicing and one of the staff took her aside and was talking to her etc..

How can you call Apocalypse boring, its a great ride. All the tension.

[Halting]

You forgot Corksrew and The Black Hole (which was sadly demolished last year).

The ride isn't 6 seconds.. It takes that time to get from the top too the end of the "hole". The ride is six seconds. I read it on an official review of the ride before I visited Alton Towers earlier this year. Tje climb doesn't count. It's from the drop to the brakes.

Corscrew hurts, how can that be intense.
