Did i tell you? [:D]

I just visited AT and TP yet. At is the better one imho. I was there on a Saturday in the middle of the summer holidays.. horrible...But a really nice park, i love it. Thorpe Park is really great, too, but it doesnt reach AT, although theyve got Colossus, my favourite coaster overall.

Next year i'll have the chance to take a closer look at these two, as well as 7 more parks at uk [8D]

I hope that AT wont be too full during on a weekday during easter holidays!?

Greetings Simon

blackpool wins my vote
might not have that well themed rides and the pepsi max is rought but its a great park and good atmosphere and you dont queue for ages got on the pepsi max 10mins after it opened and the queue started to go out of the station apart from that you can almost walk on the rides at blackpool

^ I totally agree, and i don't know why so many people are complaining about the queues. If you plan your visit and go at the start of the school year, there are virtually no queues at all. I went in the middle of the week when our school had a day off, and I got on rita 8 times, nemmy 7 times, air 4 times and oblivion twice.
However, thorpe are coming close to beating alton in 2006. Another coaster after stealth (i've heard some random rumours of a floorless! [:D]) and it'll be way out in the lead, mostly because of the incredible flat rides it has.

My sources say it may be likely Thorpe Park will recieving a wooden coaster in the near future, around the log flume area...i'm skeptical though

Rhyl Ocean Beach Park.

That thing totally kicks the crap out of the Alton Towers stuff because the Alton Towers stuff is multicolored and ugly so therefore it's terrible in everyway possible.

I want to know why one of my homeparks was not included????? PI cleethorpes!!!! They have the craziest Huss Frissbee and S&S double space shot. lol. But yeah, no way near best, its crap.

I cant imagine thorpe having enough room for a floorless, and i dont think they would be the park to build a woody either. I was thinking AT with the woody, as thorpe just wpouldnt suit it, its a modern park, and woodies arent seen as modern by the GP. I was talking to my friend today about Floria, and he thought Gwazi an Busch gardens was like 30 years old and crap because it was made of wood. Wood would suit Alton alot more. [:D] Its just getting planning permission. Although i have always said, it should be built between FV and GW. Lets face it, it would wreck the atmosphere in GW as adding lazer guns already did that! *Goes off muttering about stupid lazer guns on a classic haunted house*
