Since these attractions seem to be under rated, I'm interested to see which one people will pick.

EDIT - I have added Haunted Hollow to the list and thus have reset the votes sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT - I have swaped the word ride with attraction as best I can

I voted Twirling Toadstool. Not been on it in years but the rest don't interest me in the slightest.

Also i'm a bit confused as to why Haunted Hollow, is on the list? I mean it's not really a ride.....

Twirling Toadstool! It's actually a great family ride with a decent ride cycle, Me and my mates have to do it when we visit AT as it's pure fun to fly around and pretend to be a bird for a few moments. And then also remembering not to twist the chains!

Squirrel Nutty! purely because it was one of the first rides I ever went on and something I will always remember as providing the magic of Alton Towers from when I was a youngster :)

I seem to be the only person who has voted river bank eye spy  :shock:
You can never get tired of a little boat ride, and with those amazingly accurate animal noises as well! Wow, it's mind blowing!
I do like twirling toadstool, but sometimes it does make me feel a little queasy :P

This all depends entirely on your perception of under rated. If you're with a younger sibling/children/cousins etc, I doubt you'd see the words 'under rated' pass their lips to any of the above attractions.

Haunted Hollow. It's a well themed area and a good way to get to and from the gloomy woods and forbidden valley part of the park.
