Anyway, to re-hijack the thread...

Alton Towers sucks. Try going Drayton Manor Park, yeah theyve got less rides, but that doesnt mean they arent as good - in fact, some of them are even better. Try www.draytonmanor.co.uk and have a ganders. You can easily get on every single ride at least once in a whole day, plus theres not as many damn queues.
Ooh, they have a zoo aswell!
