0-100mph in 2.5 secs
Anyone been to Alton Towers yet this year? Is this new ride any good?
Managed to get hold of some 241 tickets so now it'll only be £14 to get in I'm off on Monday

Went in march, before it opened. Had a peek around, it looks impressive, and dwarfs the Corkscrew, which it surrounds in a wall of red steel. Hope to go back in the next month or two and give it a spin.

Went yesterday, place was dead!
Rita is fantastic, but a little too short to take it all in... Its just so quick at the beginning you have no time at all to catch your breath.
My personal favourite is Spinball whizzer, they speed it up later in the day and going round backwards is a very weird sensation indeed!
On another note, does anyone know why they have closed Black Hole?

About 62mph
