How amazingly pointless!

A lot of effort has gone into that, for what appears to me to be a rather limited "experience"

hehe

Love coasters,let me at it bounce,my faves are
1.Oblivion (alton towers)
2.Rita queen of speed(alton towers)
3.Grand National(Blackpool)
4.Pepsi max(Blackpool)

Nemesis at alton towers did'nt do anything for me,found it a bit boring,havent been on any outside this country,but would love to go on a few in the states.
My friends and I got stuck for half an hour at the top of "Oblivion" just at the point the car is due to be released, so we spent 30minutes staring over the edge into the hole not knowing when we might fall before an engineer climbed up and gave us a shove...

It was an interesting experience.

Tower of Terror is the same at both parks. Good fun and good optical illusions.
