Is Alton Towers better than Thorpe Park?

I have a photo on the Oblivion ride.

Everyone is pulling a face, grabbing the bars, looking like they're about to cry and I'm the only one with my arms up with the worlds biggest (cheesiest) smile on my face.

I love that picture...

 

WHAT A QUESTION!!

OF COURSE ALTON TOWERS IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still remember oblivion. So much great memories. Went on it twice too!!

Although Blackpool has fairly good thrill rides aswell. Just A.MA.Z.I.N.G. >_<

I love scary rides me, and oblivion was just the highlight of Alton Towers.

I used to too. Then I got a road legal superbike (0-62 in 2.02 seconds, almost 80mph in 1st gear) and started having fun on the M40.

No theme park ride comes within 10,000 miles of that thrill.

It's truely awesome.

 

Hate theme parks

cant think of a worse place to have a good time

think the last time I went, I sat under a tree and ate

whilst everyone went on rides

 

 

Lol! 

Has anyone ever been on a rollercoaster straight after they've gotten off one? I think I've done that atleast twice for every scary ride in Alton Towers I've ever been on, although I was forced to go on Infusion in Blackpool and nearly died. That was the only ride I came off with a massive headache because it went so fast and you stay upside down for longer.

Oh and another one which was really bad, because it went really high up and upside down and everything whilst spinning around, and my silly headscarf came in the way and covered my eyes so I couldn't see anything. Which made it so much more worse! 

The adrenaline you get before and after you go on scary rides is just something to remember. 

This poll has just brought back all the joys and memories! Biggrin

 

 

I kept being told that Thorpe Park is awesome, the best etc so before I went I had high expectations of it. But when I did go it didn't live upto my expectations! Most of the rides were kinda lame although I loved stealth and one or two others. I did think I was going to break my neck on one of them though! I remember having a similar feeling of being injured when going upside down, on one of the rides in Blackpool maybe the Pepsi Max? 

But yh, I do love the adrenaline from the rides Biggrin

Last place i visited was Drayton Manor. For the first time, ever, i didn't faint. That was probably because they'd removed Black Revolver. I don't know why i faint on that but its happened about two-three times. I wouldn't even call it a ride. Its not a thriller. Its not a rollercoaster. You don't even have to wear a seatbelt lol. Its just pitch black, loud hurting-your-ears type music, and you spin and spin and spin and spin and it gets faster and faster and faster. That's all.

 

Thorpe park is closer and the tidal wave is awesome 

LOL Muffy i cant believe u postd ths poll.

The old one was boring me so I had to change it, this was a good enough replacement. Although this result is surprising - no one has voted no?!

i havent had an adrenaline rush in a while.....

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

A MOTORBIKE - WHY IS NO ONE LISTENING TO ME...!!!???

 

That's an awesome idea, but the amount of accidents i have seen involving motorbikes scares me.

ill pass on the motorbike. not enough control. how abt learning martial arts..oooh...being able to use a bow and arrow, or a sword..i'll even be grateful with a slingshot (i think).

if i cld go on a trip up in the far eastern mountains, just spend my time learning a martial arts and being muslim. and nt think abt anything else. oh. the awesomeness of it. 6 months or so.

 

hmm...looking at my pc, i think we have a problem, my tagball has turned into just tag words. we must be missing some kind of plugin...
