Hi people this is the first topic ive done so hope its ok.
I was wondering what the first thing you do when in The Towers.
I go to the Towers Resturant and have a breakfast then go and hit Nemesis and then Air.

Depends if im doing ERT or not really.... if im doing ERT then i head down to Nemesis but if im not they i see what the queue times are like and pick from that!

Generally speaking, we check the queue times and go from there! But if there is a particular ride one of us is really craving then we'll do that first

I smile  :)

Because i'm in my happy place, with the stunning Towers looking at me as I walk down towards them, the music in my ears and (hopefully) the sun on my face!

Avoid any upsellers, and then look forward to my day out!!!

Go to the toilet by the ticket kiosks and check my appearance in the mirror (yeah, I'm vain like that  :P). Once inside the park, I do a Usain Bolt from Towers Street to Rita for an ERT takeover.

I normally head to the loo, the leg it down Towers Street, avoiding the upsellers then pause at the end to look at the Towers. I'll then sprint to 13 and get in a few rides while it's quiet, then head to Hex and Oblivion.

First thing I normally do is get a ride access pass from guest services and then head to X-Sector or Forbidden Valley

If im with TTF, I tend to spend 30-45 mins stood around towers street waiting for people :P If not not with TTF, during ERT I tend to do Oblivion/Rita first then a bit of TH13TEEN, if im not doing ERT ill just pick a direction and go with it depending what mood im in and who im with :P

Stand at the bottom of Towers Street fapping like a monkey. :lol:

Not really. When I went to Towers in June 2007, and again in June 2011, the first ride I did both times was Spinball, and I felt that it was a good ride to start the day on.
