If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll probably know I LOVE THEMEPARKS. Disney, Universal, ANYTHING.
I’ve never been to Alton Towers before, so I decided I wanted to go as part of my week-long birthday celebration.
Of course, loads of people reminded me of the accident last year when I mentioned I was going. And there was another rollercoaster accident a week or so before, so I was feeling a little more scared than usual.
The ride I like the best was Rita. It was a bit like Velocity in Flamingoland, or the Aerosmith roller coaster in Disney. It shoots you off at a high speed, to the point where you feel half your body is has been left behind.
Naturally I avoided The Smiler and Oblivion, ain’t no one got time for that!
I didn’t realise they had an aquarium there. It was quite big and very charming!
After we had done, we went to Toby Cavery and I had my very first vegetarian cavery. It was lovely. Mmm stuffing.

I haven’t been on roller coster before because I am so scared and I always think about films like Final Destination when I get closer to one.
ps. Btw your previous post’s videos show 8 minutes long but after 5 minutes, it is all black, I guess there’s something wrong. x
I was put off Alton Towers by all the accidents that seem to have been happening recently. But learning that they have an aquarium, it might just be back on my places to visit list. I do love aquariums! x
Theme parks are the best, they always make me so happy! So glad to hear you had a great time! xx
I’ve only been to Alton Towers once and actually discovered I’m not that great at rides anymore although I did enjoy Rita! Also totally missed that they had an aquarium!

That sea horse though! Can I keep it for a pet?! How cute! I love a theme park any day!
I love theme parks, going back to Thorpe Park in a couple of weeks, cant wait! Have you been??
Im glad you wrote about your visit to Alton Tower, it gives a different perspective to a lovely theme park that has been marred by a horrible accident. Looks like a fun place to spend the day at.
I absolutely love theme parks as well, I love the thrill you get from going on a really good ride. Places like Universal Studios are definitely my favourite!

I’ve only been once, and that was a few months before the Smiler was officially opened, so it’s been a while! I loved Air, Oblivion and Rita, but I’m a lot more dubious about trying the Smiler or any of their other rides after the accidents… Glad you had a nice time there!

I don’t live far from Alton towers when I am in Notts, personally don’t think it’s that great but most of that is I hate scary rides and that is all they seem to have. Sounds like you had a fun time. How they get people on oblivion I have no idea Lucy x
The aquarium looks fab, I had no idea there is one at Alton towers.
