Visited Alton on friday as still had not been on 13 and Spinball. Had a pretty good day however having been to Florida some of the rides didn't seem as good anymore. Oh and after riding Manta it made me realise how **** Air is.
Ride Count was
Rita-2
Oblivion-7
Nemesis-3
Air-2
Spinball
Thirteen
Enterprise
Submission
Log Flume-2
Rapids
Runaway Mine Train
Here's some Photos from my visit.
Preparation for Scarefest.
This was very quiet all day.
First ride all day of the day
Best ride in the park
Nemesis is one of the best rides in the UK, I prefer Montu however it's still very good and maintains a good speed throughout the ride. I have done it before however I still found it to be great although lacking much of a first drop.
Don't completely agree with that statement.
Next Ride was Air which was ok however it made me realize how much better Manta is and how poor it is in general. It's pretty fun though with friends however I wouldn't queue more than 10 minutes for it.
This was still quiet.
We then did Spinball which was one of the coasters along with 13 Which I had never done before.
Spinball was a fun ride however had a queue out of the queue line so we went for fastrack which was 3 pounds which wasn't bad. The Ride span quite a bit with us.
You can still see beastie from the top of spinball, I think the fence stands out a bit.
We then went X Sector to ride Oblivion which was great, i still like the ride and I like the themeing of it. The fanta sponsorship isn't that bad at all. I still love the drop although to much of a short layout.

Enterprise
The Flume was good fun and had a quite decent pace The last drop was the best part of the ride.
Next was the Rapids which was quite dull as you didn't really get wet.
After that we Rode RMT which I don't have any pictures of for some reason.
We gave Hex a miss today.
13
Rita
Rita was running quite well. It was fun however is pretty tame compared to any of the other launch coasters I've been on.
We then did Thirteen which was fun but nothing that special, The Drop section was pretty poor, I have had more airtime on a frog hopper. It was the only other coaster I had not done, The Trims ruin the ride. The theme is good however the ride is poor.
We then went back to Oblivion to ride it a few more times
Blackhole tent still not being used
We went for another ride on Rita
Then took the Skyride over to Nemesis again.
We also rode Air Again
We never did ride Ripsaw.
We didn't ride the blade either.
We then went back to the Flume for one last ride, it was quite busy.
After that we left the park
All and All it was a good day and I still like towers, Nemesis is the only ride there that stands out now. They do seem to try to sell you something though every where you go, which is quite annoying.
Anyway, thanks for reading and sorry for the bad photos, I took my crap camera.
