Sorry, didn't read the second half of that sentence properly.

People were abandoning their cars in Alton village apparently. It was that bad.

And people wonder why Alton decided against opening: Taken on Farley Lane this evening.

I'm pretty sure The Sanctuary is only open until May. No doubt it will be brought back for Scarefest.

Thanks guys :) Yeah, they could have at least dressed that scaffolding up with a few plastic vines.

There'd be no such thing as budgets or cuts. Rides would regularly be replaced and repainted.

Due to the incident on Rita last year, Alton have built this ugly tunnel under the launch section. It really does look awful and ruins the area (not that it looked that good to begin with):

Arrived just after 9.00am at a very quiet Alton Towers! Made my way straight to Nemesis, but had to wait due to being the only person on the ride. In the end a member of staff went round with me. It was pretty surreal being the only person in Forbidden Valley. Rita next! The tunnel looks...

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 It looks like the paint job on Oblivion is complete now. No grey patches on the track going into the tunnel:

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Oblivion's track was definitely black when it opened to the public in 1998:

Re: Have you ever puked (or was close to) on a Rollercoaster Not on a coaster, but I once came extremely close to hurling after three consecutive rides on Maelstrom at Drayton Manor.

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Me too! That's the only thing that lets the ride down slightly. The whole area round the toilet block just looks awkward.

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 That is one sexy tangle of black steel <3 Hurry up May!

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 That's still good enough for me :P

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Wow, are they really going to use laughing gas? It just gets better by the day.
