------------------------------------------------- --------------
RIDES (NOT REALLY FOR LITTLE KIDS
------------------------------------------------- --------------

--------------------
OBLIVION
--------------------
DON’T LOOK DOWN
Oblivion is the worlds first vertical drop rollercoaster. As you go up high and then u swing around the coroner and u look down to this big vertical drop you might have millions of little things going though your mind but that is not the end as you stop for a few seconds on side and then it will suddenly drop and go underground for a few seconds and come back to go around the coroner and the is finished…

---------------------------
NEMESIS
---------------------------

Are you ready for nemesis? Can you take the pain? As nemesis pushes the senses to the limit and u have to be ready for upside down madness. And madness it is as you are going though bens and tuners and every thing else. Nemesis has just passed its 10th birthday it still has not lost the senses of madness u will have to be peppered for nemesis…

---------------------------
AIR
---------------------------

You will have to be ready for air as you hang from the track horizontally and as on the ride u can experience the freedom of flight. As you are at the ground and you swoop up from the floor and u take bends that tune your stomach and as it goes though under ground cabins you will have to experience this ride for your self to believe me…

--------------------------
Spinball whizzer
--------------------------

Spinball Whizzer is like being on a pinball game as u will get span around as u are going on this ride it is ride u will defiantly have to experience for your self. The twisting and turning track will throw you in every other direction and u will have to smile for the camera as you have your photo taken…

-----------------------
THE FLUME
-----------------------

Are you ready for this wet soaking ride. The Flume is the UK’S longest flume as it gose all though the woodland. This time it has a bath theme and last time it had a boat theme so they have changed this bit. There ate there mega tuners on this ride and one of them is where you go under a tunnel and u don’t know what is going on u will suddenly get soaked. U better bring a cape to keep you dry…

----------------------
RIPSAW
----------------------

Ripsaw will get you wet as well as you sit in a gondola while two big massive arms will take you up in the air 50 feat in fact and it will then spin u all over the place forwards and backwards and then just as you think the ride is over it it will keep you upside down so the water will go all over u and it will not miss a person and then it will bring u slowly down back to the platform. You need a hot day to go on these rides…

-------------------------------------
RITA: QUNEEN OF SPEED
-------------------------------------

Are u ready for this breathtaking ride. This is what I am talking about this ride is in the “UG LAND” area and it is one hell of a ride as it stands 18 meters high and it will rocks u about as it goes 0-100 kph in 2.7 seconds and as it still keep a good speed of 60 kph. As your face will not look like nothing thing you have seen before like a alien out of space. Know I no why it is called QUNEEN OF SPEED…

---------------------
DUEL
---------------------

As you are on a train and in a haunted house at the same time well I bet you are thinking well what is next well I will tell u u have a gun a laser gun and u will see different colours like red green and yellow will I will tell u what they mean the red light means you have shoot it the green and yellow light means u have to sgoot that one to get more points so u and your mate play against each other to see what one can get the most points. Go in and look in the haunted house…

------------------------------------
ENTERPRISE
-------------------------------------

This ride is a spinning ride u will start to think when u get on it all it is going to do is spin me around and around and then the ride tilts on is side and stats going up and up and up and finally it will not be able to get up no more and you will be going upside down before you know it and it only goes up side down for about 30 seconds and then starts to go back down again and it then stops this ride dose not last a long time but it sure is fun..

---------------------------
UG SWINGER
---------------------------

The UG swinger is ride that there is loads of seats but only one to a seat and then the ride will go and the seats are hold on by a few chains it then suddenly gets faster and faster and then the seat you are on will swing out and out and u will be saying “I am flying with out wing” it is not that fast but it is quite a fun ride

----------------------------
THE BLADE
----------------------------

The blade is a big swinging ship ride. If you sit at the back it will feel a lot higher and a bit faster and the sip will stat of slow but then will get faster and faster and higher and higher this is mad ride as I think it will go all the way and I will die or someyhing but I know it wont don’t really like this ride but it is ok...

-----------------------------------
RIVER BANK EYE SPY
-----------------------------------

This ride is another boat ride but don’t worry it is no way near like The Blade. This ride a a slow water ride no you don’t get wet you get have a nice and a relaxing stip so you don’t have to worry on this one. I would say that this is really a family ride and for people who like a nice little trip…

--------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION
--------------------------------------------

The submission is slimmer to The Blade but except this ride dose a full 360 degrees ya a full 360 degrees so u will be going upside down and you might find your hair will be a bit a of a mess and with this ride as well u will stay upside down for something like 5 seconds or more so don’t get thinking the ride is broke…

-------------------------------------
CONGO RIVER RAPIDS
-------------------------------------

This ride Congo River Rapids is a water ride as well but in this one u are sat in a big cercal thing and u are going on a nice little trip. Sorry did I say nice well it is a bit nice you will get a bit wet but not as much then “The Flume” so it is all rite but the seats might be a bit wet when u get sit on them so be careful

---------------------------
CORKSCREW
---------------------------

This ride is not my beat ride I have bin on but it is ok as it gains some speed it then come to the double corkscrew as here you bang your head all over the place after this ride you just might have a bit if a headache but you will live then it comes to the end at last this bit is not to bad but you will live for a bit. This ride is ok but as I say you might have a headache…

-----------------------------
THE KIDS RIDES
-----------------------------

---------------------------------
DOODLE DOO DERBY
---------------------------------

This ride is a round about ride and it has loads of little animals so that the children can sit on and it goes around slowly I bet this is good for the little kids but it is not so good for us…

--------------------
TEA CUPS
--------------------

This ride is a tea cup theme well I bet u have guessed that all ready this ride is nothing like all the other rides this ride is a nice and relaxing ride from a very busy day. The kids will love this ride…

------------------------------------------------- --------
OLD MAC DONAOLDS TRACTOR RIDE
------------------------------------------------- ---------

This ride is great for the children as they have a big yellow tractor that they can drive and this ride is slow but has a great theme for the children this ride is not just great for the children but it is good for the adults as well as u can relax from all the big rides

--------------------------------------------
RUNAWAY TRAIN
--------------------------------------------

This train will be great for kids as it is like a mini rollercoaster for the kids it goes though a lot of tunes and bends so the kids will have to hold on tight as it goes a little fast for the kids this has to be the best kids ride at the park…

------------------------------------------------- -----
WHAT I THINK OF ALTON TOWERS
------------------------------------------------- ------


I think alton towers is a great place to go with your mates and with your family as there are all rides there for all ages so the best there rides I like is. 1st ride is the OBLIVION second ride is NEMESIS and the 3RD ride is AIR so I will now tell you why I liked these rides. why I liked the 1st ride is because OBLIVION is the first vertical drop rollercoaster and I liked when it stopped for a few seconds and then went as fast as the wind. Why I liked the second ride NEMESIS I liked nemesis because I like upside down rollercoaster’s and I like it because on one of the tunes you think you are going to hit the fence it is a good ride. Why I liked the 3rd ride AIR. I liked AIR because it was a change AIR is a great ride I would say go on that to very one. There are not rides that I did not like I found them all very good accept from the kids rides of course
