i would just like to say how much work and fulfilment alton towers brought to me today and say a massive thankyou
today i had the day off, had a pretty poor day yesterday and needed cheering up and since im on my lonesome at the moment i decided ill go to alton tower and go in the water park in the morning and spend the rest of the day in the theme park.
got to the resort at 10:30 this morning and went into the water park. water was abit cold at first but it got better. the lazy river needs to be quicker but the whole place is extreamly interactive and theres lots to entertain both the young and the old. the 3 indoor slides are awsome. the 2 gravity slides are cool. one is bright and pretty long but it has tight turns so if you lean into the turns you can get 90 degrees up the wall. the other is a dark slide and is quick but they have used the light to keep signs on the turns lit and it again is very quick.
the master blaster is the best one ive ever been on. its very quick and even has some airtime in it.
then they opened the outside pool which was loverly and warm. the flash flood slides werent much good but looked cool but i wish they had checked the pool first though as one of the kids was carrying around a dead bird from the center of the pool. after closing and cleaning it was a very nice place to be.
1:30pm came and i left for the theme park and some food. now heres what impresed me. i didnt bother getting food in the end just alot to drink instead but ohh my god have the staff been busy.
in th13teen, nemesis and the rita que they ajected people for que jumping as the staff was being really awsome on it.
hex has now got all of its effects working for the first time in a long time.
duel has some new effects and all its old ones fixed and some new sounds. the spideres now have a scary voice and all the spiders now move.
charlie and the chocolate factory has had some new speakers and "NUT ROOM" is louder and clearer than ever. also all the effects are now working.
th13teen has now got all its effects working and they have sorted the que jumping from the single riders que to the normal one.
the park is alot cleaner and tidyer than i have seen it for a long time
big thing for alton is they now have the restor DVD (yourday) working again so its good to see it in operation.
in all today has been a very plesent, surprising and enjoyable day to be there by myself to think about things and get my mind off other things
so just a big big thankyou and welldone to alton towers for all the effort they seem to have put in recently
