You ought to go. It's a great place. And some of the rides!! We've got some wonderful pictures of me coming off rides with my hair all over the place because of the speed.

Look at these videos of a couple of the rides we went on:

Air (bad quality - also doesn't give a great idea of the speed): http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/interac.../aironride.htm

Nemesis (again doersn't gave a good idea of the speed): http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/interac...os/nemesis.htm

Spinball Whizzer (not the greatest of videos): http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/interac...ballonride.htm

A zip file of Air, Nemesis and Oblivion: http://www.themeparkreview.net/alton.zip

Watch them...they're not the best but they are pretty good.

Oblivion is fucking amazing when you are on it.
