Our first visit to Alton Towers of 2006.

Alton Towers works it's magic.

The 7th April 2006 saw a limited number of us, visit our all time favourite theme park. This time we I forgot to take my camera out of the bag and take any photos.

This years rides were(by one or more members of the group):

Air [9/10] - Brilliant ride, still fast and fun with no break downs this time YAY! Average queue(30 min)
Runaway Mine Train [7/10] - Fast fun and more scary than you would think for a kids ride. They opened the queue while we were waiting(15 min)
Corkscrew [5/10] - Its rusty and shaky, lets face it Corky has seen better days. Hardly any queue(1 min)
RITA [7/10] - It really isn't worth the wait any more. Far to long, it broke down too(60 min)
Hex [6/10] - Fun for the kiddies, I like it too. Barly any queue(2 min)
Oblivion [10/10] - My new favourite ride, just dont look down. It took longer to walk round the queue than we were waiting(3 min)
Oblivion [10/10] - Still scaring us shitless. Going under the barrier saves walking round all the way(2 min)
Oblivion [10/10] - Not loosing its edge. Really short waiting time(2 min)
Congo River Rapids [5/10] - Splash arround with others in the same boat. A little queue but not much(10 min)
Duel [6/10] - Yay I won this one! No Queue(1 min)

Once again the roadworks on the A500 in stoke held us up. Overall the queues were't too bad I think, it was moderately busy. We plan for a return trip later in the year, but when we don't know. Air did work today as did most of the other rides, RITA broke down for a while but we got to go on it afterwards.
There were no incdents on the roads this time, no near misses or curbs either "Fantastic".

We also had a spot of bad parking, this was kind of fixed later on, but not brilliantly.
