What's your favorite themed area? - Katanga Canyon
What's your favorite coaster? - Air
What's your favorite ride (non-coaster) ? - Hex
What's your favorite piece of music at the park? - Th13teen Queueline
If you could have a new coaster at the park, where would you like to see it? - Coach park situated behind Katanga Canyon.
If you could have a new flat ride at the park, where would you like to see it? - Dark Forest in the area of where UG Swinger used to be.
If you could put anything in the vacant Black Hole tent, what would you put in it? - A small, compact rollercoaster. That's all that is really needed in there.
Would you like to see the tree height-restrictions removed so they could build taller rides? - No. The restrictions are there for a reason. It's forced Alton to be creative, the most genius ride that has used the restrictions to it's advantage if Nemesis which, the landscape in itself makes the ride iconic. While I'm sure it's a pain for the development teams, it makes Alton unique and can make you feel as if you really are in a particular area.
and finally
If you had one unique idea to improve Alton Towers in some way, what would you do? - I've never really told anyone this, as it's quite a mad and very unrealistic idea, I had the idea of a project named "Project Magic" (yeah I know, not a very imaginative title) which is basically a massive project that aims to resurrecte the Alton Towers magic. The project itself consists of many ambitious plans, attractions, shows and a complete rebrand of the resort. It's not really something I could go into detail in this topic, as I would have to write a whole topic of it's own. All I'll say is that it's just a dream of mine, it's very unrealistic and will never happen.
Realistically, one idea of mine is to have Alton Towers' own railway station, along with trams operating from the station directly to the theme park entrance throughout the day. Although that's not really a unique idea, as I know many of us enthusiasts want the railway station to become reality one day.

What's your favorite themed area? - Katanga Kanyon - Nearly twenty years on, and still better theming than the bulk of the rest of the park.
What's your favorite coaster? - Nemesis
What's your favorite ride (non-coaster) ? - The Rapids - rides that intertwine with other rides are all too rare in this country.
What's your favorite piece of music at the park? - The entrance music.
If you could have a new coaster at the park, where would you like to see it? - I'd have a suspended coaster a-la Vampire snaking out of the dark forest towards the towers. It would however make sense to have a junior coaster in cloud cuckoo land.
If you could have a new flat ride at the park, where would you like to see it? - Dark Forest. - I've always thought a Techno Jump themed like a Whomping Willow would be good.
If you could put anything in the vacant Black Hole tent, what would you put in it? - Would a top scan fit?
Would you like to see the tree height-restrictions removed so they could build taller rides? - No - it inspires creativity. A restriction removal in PART of the park would be handy though.
and finally
If you had one unique idea to improve Alton Towers in some way, what would you do?
Exhibitions, like the Dr Who one or Wallace and Grommet one at the Centre For Life, that changes every three months or so.
