When you first get in the park, people go to their fav ride, what do you do? And leave your comment on what ride in that section you go on?

I usually go to Air as that usually has the longest queue of the major rides but it may be worth going to Katanga Canyon first because everyone who visits the park is liely to go on The Flume and The River Rapids. My favoruite ride is Oblivion but I've never queued for more than three quaters of an hour for it.

FV - getting a ride on Nemesis and Air is the most important and as Air tends to build up the biggest queue throughout the day, we usually go for that first. Once we've done FV, we head to Gloomy Wood, Katanga Canyon, Merrie England, X-Sector, Hex and UG Land occasionally. Then back to FV. Generally get a ride on everything we want! :D

:twisted: :P

Woah, serious case of caps here!

It looks messy, takes longer to load, and is perceived as shouting - don't do it, please. *Remembers her manners through gritted teeth*

Case now changed,

I tend to head for FV to get at least one ride of Air and Nemmy before it gets too busy, then work my way round through GW and KC.
but that may all change once RITA is open. As a trip up to UG land may take priority.

I start at X-Sector as, it is quite quiet in the mornings because like the poll suggests everbody heads of to Forbidden Valley or Gloomy Wood.

It really depends on how early you get there. Some people who live hundreds of miles away don't arrive at AT until midday, gone midday, and in this case, I should imagine its best to leave FV until the end of the day...

I always go to X-Sector first to go on Oblivion, gets the hart pumping at the start of the day :D Most people tend to go from area to area that are next to each other but because im a single rider and dont have to worry about the Qs i just go were ever i fancy next, im back and forward all day.

I find myself in FV for nemmie first, then join the ever building queue for Air, ripsaw and maybe Blade, and then skyride over to Ugland but go straight to X-Sector, maybe stopping at Hex along the way, for Oblivion, Black Hole (RIP) :(, and Enterprise, then lunch in Pizza Hut, and then long walk/run over to Merrie England for Flume, then katanga Canyon, Duel, and then finish the day in FV again. With Rita, I imagine things will always change.

I always tend to rush things as Im always worried I wont ride everything in the day, even though I usually get on everything at least twice!

I always end up at FV first, Seen as we don't go to AT that much and when we do go we stay in the Hotel and from the hotel if you go on the woodland walk to the park that's where you end up. :)

I usually head straight to Forbidden Valey, to get on Nemesis and Air before the queues become 1:30 hrs +
