I know this is late but I forgot about it. Here we go.

This will be a short report.

Lets see, we got to the park a little bit after opening (9:30am) I was sleepy cause of the time chnage. Anyways, I was dying to go on Nemesis, so I hit that first. About a 10-20 min wait. Second row far left. That is the BEST B&M Inverted I have EVER been on. Next we headed over to Air. Soon we realized we'd be waiting for and hour or two, so we bought an Alton Towers fastpass (I forget what they call them.) It was still a 15-30 min wait with the fastpass. Air is alot different from S:UF. You are on your back a little more than haf the ride. It did'nt feel right without a pretzel though. Then I went on Corckscrew. Eh nothing big. Walking off of that I saw and remembered Oblivion and ran right to it. Suprisingly it wasnt more than a 20min wait. That is one awesome coaster. It is rather short though. But I mean, Vertical Drop into overbanked turn (angels singing) After that I headed over to Spinball Whizzer. Here we used our Euro Fastpass (as I now call it) I will NEVER forget that ride. Spinning Wildmouse with a near vertical turn, W :shock: WZA is all I can say about it. Then I ran back over around the park to ride some flats. The two best ones were their Top Spin by Nemesis. and the duel Inverter by Oblivion. (forget the names Ill edit them in later) Overal it was worth the airfare. If you get a chance GO to Alton Towers. (P.S. sry I wrote this TR so late. I just never got around to it.)

I'm jealous (and that doesn't happen often) but I've always wanted to ride Nemesis... the theming looks so incredible. I'm glad you got a chance to go out there and check it out.
