Alton Towers

Going tomorrow. Which ride do you think is the scariest?
Any tactical tips to get on the most rides?

[Lore]

I don't think any of the rides are scary but certainly que for Air, it's worth the wait - also the spinball wizard is worth the wait too! couldn't stop laughing on that one.
I haven't been since Rita arrived but once I've had this baby I'll be back!! lol

A little tip: don't try and sneak a bottle of wine in there. I went with some friends last year and alcohol+rollercoasters is not a good equation...

[CheekyChops]

This is probably a bit late as you are probably already there but my tip for getting on the most rides would be go go in the week when all the kids are at school! Weekends are packed.

Nemesis is my favourite ride although probably not scary, Air scared me 'cos I kept thinking the safety harness was going to break and I would fall out :-p Agree that Spinball Wizard is a fab ride and Rita is good too!

I'll answer my own question now. Go when England are playing, Quiet -Longest I had to queue was for Rita _30 mins and that was peak time .0 waiting time for Oblivion -but that could have been because noone wanted to go on it . The fear factor in terms of anticipation was certainly the worst for this but the fall ,which is awesome" is over so quickly you haven't got time to be afraid. Loved Air and Nemesis as well. Hated Submission where you seem to be dangling upside down for ever and very uncomfortable. Thought Rita was ok but a bit overrated.? Tip- If you go on Ripsaw try and get the end seats you don't get as wet or avoid if you love getting wet.

I have to comment i thought oblivion was hugely shite

[bonsaimaster]

i no uve already been but just a warning to anyone do not go on hex i qued for 1 hour 30 mins and the ride wor shite it might be better now coz i went a couple of months from it opening but its still shite

[pickalily]

You're right Hex is not really for the thrill seeker .One of those for people who don't like rides. I wouldn't revisit.
Did think Oblivion was good,short ,but good.I don't think I would want to q for an hour though.
