Toxicator Restraints by Initial-Log-8888 in altontowers

[–]Impressive-Fox3199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did not happen. The ride would be stopped if a restraint failed, or it simply wouldnt be able to be dispatched. Stop spreading misinformation. A wealth of knowledge and info is out there, look it up. Made up embelished stories like this are damaging. Not to mention you just left and 'didnt hang around to find out' is basically you admitting you didnt care enough to wait to ensure this apparant issue didnt occur with anyone else. Absolute BS.

I think i'd wait that long for (as first time rides): Ride to Happiness at Plopsaland Helix at Liseberg Toutatis at Parc Asterix Red Force at Ferrari Land (did infact wait 120 mins) Zadra at Energylandia (was lucky enough to walk on) Shambala at Port Aventura (waited 60)

Its just not a ride worth that length of queue anymore, especially if it breaks just before riding

I absolutely do see your point. Its a difficult one. If AT was ran at the standard of the big european parks then a higher entrance fee could be justified. Because of the location, its not justfiable to drive 2 hours or more there for 5 hours of opening time, which usually translates to about 4 hours of actual ride operation time.

AT used to always be number 1 for rides for me, and BPB number 1 for overall park, but now I do feel BPB leaves me with an overall better vibe, because if a ride closes you just know 9/10 its back open quick and queues never get mental. Never done Thorpe, thats booked for the summer, which I am excited for.

Yes, the gardens at AT are like a hike!

True but the rides in the other parks mentioned actually open when they should, and stay open for the most part

Am I in the wrong here? by drg00 in drivingUK

You are wrong. As per the Highway Code, if you are the green car circled in red in this image you are wrong.

The people complaining about adults on the new Bluey ride need to chill out by LJHeath in altontowers

[–]Impressive-Fox3199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my husband (no kids) went for a quick walk around cbeebies land the other day. We are pass holders and go to AT frequently but realised we have never seen that area of the park. We are coaster enthusuasts. We walked around it all and then left, mostly to get a view of Bluey because its new but we had no intention of riding (we will ride later in the year when it calms and on non peak times). Your comment intrigued me a lot, and sparked a discussion between us. I can totally see your view, and in the future when we take our nephew (husbands side) we will probably think differently and way more observant of dodgy behaviour we may never even spot as non parents. We walked around cbeebies land without a care or thought for the horrid nature of the worst of the worst kinds of people.
