One of the weird things about Alton Towers is the rides aren't allowed to be taller than the treeline, so they have to get quite creative about design.Tinkhttp://masterofathousandthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655647507639114810.post-14554890834444064372011-09-19T15:41:58.668+01:002011-09-19T15:41:58.668+01:00The Oblivion looks like it just smashes you into t...The Oblivion looks like it just smashes you into the ground....AChttp://acengineeredknits.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655647507639114810.post-32911641634667221312011-09-19T10:17:58.228+01:002011-09-19T10:17:58.228+01:00Because the queues were so short, we missed out on...Because the queues were so short, we missed out on all the anticipation you get from watching the ride go as you wait. We were massively over-stimulated all day as well, because the lack of queues meant no time to calm down after each ride!Tinkhttp://masterofathousandthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655647507639114810.post-14593810343365918262011-09-19T10:16:54.979+01:002011-09-19T10:16:54.979+01:00We did the Log Flume and River Rapids first thing,...We did the Log Flume and River Rapids first thing, and got utterly soaked.

There's just no need ;) I do love Nemesis though (even though I know I love it, I always panic when I'm in the queue watching it for some reason!)Natalie Howellshttp://profiles.google.com/nat.howellsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655647507639114810.post-89464161290808605882011-09-18T18:37:49.086+01:002011-09-18T18:37:49.086+01:00Sounds like you have had an eventful time since We...Sounds like you have had an eventful time since Wednesday :) The kitty cat looks cute, I always liked the ginger stripe cats :)<br /><br />Alton towers is awesome, though I havent been there in like 7 years!! Oblivion is pretty crazy, it feels like everything from your stomach rises up to your throats...and the Nemesis is pretty awesome.....though I think we went on River Rapids first so we were pretty dry by the end of the day!<br /><br />Can't wait to see woolly posts :)Hazel McTaggartnoreply@blogger.com
