Alton Towers!!!

So just got back from Alton Towers, earlier than I thought which is good cos I have work tomorrow. Had to leave at 7am but when it's something like this I really don't mind getting up! I swear I've wanted to go to Alton Towers for over a year, since the last time I went.

Didn't actually get to go on as many rides as I've been on before cos it turned out more packed than we thought it would be, stupid kids who have finished their exams...

So in running order the rides I went on:

1. Ripsaw- bit of a silly one to start off with as you get absolutely drenched, not talking bout a little trickle of water but properly getting covered! That one was fun though and apparently Joe Lee's face was a picture.

2. Air- it said at the entrance a 10 minute wait... what... a... joke...! Turned out to be bout an hour I think, maybe more we were waiting and I don't even like the ride that much! We had some giggles in the que which made it more fun and the ride itself was ok but a but of breeze really.

3. Rita (queen of speed)- this one is quite new compared to the others and I'd never been on it before so I didn't mind having to wait again over an hour to get on. It was just me, Nam, and Char. It was pretty cool, it goes from 0 to 100mph in 2.5 seconds!!!!! Bought the photo and Nami's face is brilliant, just total shock! Got to say well done to Char for being brave cos she was terrified but she did it!

4. Oblivion- my favourite ride ever! I love it, even though it does last for only 10 seconds it is so worth it! I love the way it climbs up and you just think oh crap why am I doing this and then it hangs over the edge and you don't know when it's going to drop and then it just goes and there's a whole rush in your body when you go into the tunnel!!! AMAZIN'! Char got all the way to the end of the que and as we were getting into the seats suddenly walked away :-( never mind, there's always next time ;-)

5. Spinball Whizzer- we had a few minutes to spare so went on this cos we'd never been on it before. It was better than I thought it would be. Basically just spins round at the same time as going round the rollar coaster. It feels like you're going to fall off the edge which is quite scary.

Bring on next year.
