******* THE RIDES *******
There are plenty of rides for all ages in this park which have been split up into 8 sections. For the white knucklers there's

******* OBLIVION ********
A ride that takes you up a slope and turns around a bend then suddenly you tilt over the edge
just before you drop into Oblivion. This is a ride for thrill seekers which will take their breath away.

******** NEMESIS *********
This ride was the first ever legs free inverted rollercoaster with loads of twists , bends and best of all loops with speeds up to 110km per hour and achieving a total g-force of 4.5.This is my favourite ride at Alton Towers

********* SUBMISSION *******
A good ride that goes upside down but a horrible experience as there are straps on your legs and shoulders that goes so tight that when you go upside down for 5 seconds the blood rushes to your head like a river

******** THE BLACKHOLE *********
One of my mums favourite ride The Blackhole. A fast
rollercoaster thats in complete darkness with strobe lights and stunning effects. A ride you can't afford to miss.

********** AIR ************
The brand new ride for the year 2002. The first lying down rollercoaster which I haven't been on yet as I'm going there in october but i've heard its a brilliant ride.

************ FAMILY RIDES **************
These are the rides for all the family.

********* CONGO RIVER RAPIDS ******** This is one of the water rides at Alton Towers .The Congo River Rapids. A ride for all the family but prepare to get wet as you go past waterfalls and go down loads of dips

********* THE CORKSCREW ********
This isn't really what I would call a family ride but its a rollercoaster with some loops and is based on the dinosaur age in Ug Land. A good ride but a bit bumpy.

******** RUNAWAY MINE TRAIN *******
This is another one of my mums favourites as its a wooden rollercoaster thats rather quick and has no loops in it plus it doesnt have much queues.

********* THE LOGFLUME ********
This ride has boats the shape of a log (Pretty Obvious)with a capacity of 4 per boat which is quite a long trip and has big steep drops and as always you get we
t.

********** KIDS RIDES ************
These are loads of kiddies rides around one area. I can't give my oppinion on these rides as I've never been on them but my brother who isn't much of a daredevil enjoys it loads.

********* THE RESTAURANTS *********
There are loads of little Resturants there including
Kfc my favourite and Pizza Hut which have quite reasonable prices plus many others.
