What did you ride on your first visit?

[Hari]

And we were going to do Submission but we met with some of our other friends in CCL Burger King and they told us that it was really uncomfortable so we decided against it.

They were bloomin' right there! Submission is a definate no-no! Its not good for down below either if ur a guy... :/

I first went in 2002 when I was 2 lol I don't really remember anything apart from Barney's Show and the Play Ground.

The second time I went was in 2005 I remember going on these rides:
Corkscrew
UG Swinger
Squirrel Nutty
Eye Spy
Bish Bash (Still went on it when I went in 2011
Hex
I was about to go on Black Hole but the man said I wasn't 1.2m which confused me because I went on Corkscrew and UG Swinger which were both 1.2m. I was so sad the next year as it had closed and I never got on it!

The best ride in 2005 was Corkscrew R.I.P Corky 1980-2008!

On my first visit to Alton Towers in 2001:
Black Hole
Toyland Tours
Haunted House
Vintage Cars
Rapids (the old stripy red and black ones)
Squirell Nutty
Old McDonald's Tractor Ride

.... thats pretty much about it as i remember.

Black Hole but the man said I wasn't 1.2m which confused me because I went on Corkscrew and UG Swinger which were both 1.2m. I was so sad the next year as it had closed and I never got on it!

Thats a shame you didn't ride Black Hole, it was a great ride through out its years, i rode it in 2004 for the last time and in 2005 as i heard it on TT and ATA they announced it was closing.

[lozzyhickers]

I don't think I went on anything on my first visit, it would have been '93 or '94 whenI was a baby/toddler I think we mainly looked around the gardens and towers. I probably went on th swanboats too.

[DavidRock]

First trip in 1996 and the first ride was the Pirate Ship in Fantasy Land.

It was a two day trip so managed to get most rides in. I was 8 at the time and too small to go on Nemesis. My cousin tried to get me on the Thunder Looper but for some reason I decided to ask the attendant if I was tall enough for it and got rumbled. My one and only chance to ride the Thunder Looper .

After that I don't know the order but the rides I went on were:

• Pirate Ship
• Black Hole
• Astro Dancer
• Mini Apple
• Toyland Tours
• Vintage Car Ride
• Wave Swinger
• Enterprise
• Energizer
• CorkScrew
• The Beast
• Beastie
• Haunted House
• RMT
• River Rapids
• Log Flume
• 3D Cinema
• Squirrel Nutty's

[Kenzie2012]

I didn't get on a lot on the first visit I had...
From memory we managed Oblivion, Nemesis, Enterprise, Corkscrew and Energizer all once.

Not the most productive day, but definitely one of the most magical.

[Michelle]

I think my first trip was in 1998 when I was  about 10 and I went on
The Blade,
Astrodancer,
Haunted House,
RMT,
The Flume.

I also remember eating ham sandwiches and drinking cheap ASDA lime-ade while waiting for my friend and her dad who had gone on oblivion (I wouldnt brave it til 2006 and I still hate it now! )

[Roodlesnouter]

I don't remember the year but early rides I can remember, could well be different visits and years. Used to go a lot even back then.

Corky
pirate ship at some point I rember a pirate ship that went right over, it terrified me lol.
toboggans
magic carper ride, 1001 knights?
cine 360
black hole
flume
bumpy slide
fun house boat, mississippi river boat?

[DoubleOh7]

My first trip was a month or so after Oblivion opened. I was very young (12/13) and didnt really 'do' rides. The only coaster I had ever been on before that day was the grand national at blackpool (incidentally I now LOVE the GN) and I was terrified.

I got dragged onto blivvy by my mother (who was most upset she had spent a fortune to get in and so was determined her daughter was going on a ride) and I was absolutely pooing my pants. Cue one vertical drop later and I went on everything else that day inc Ripsaw and Nemesis etc. Seems Oblivion 'cured' me although its still the one ride I feel nervous on, I dont know why!?

Oh and to those who are too young or didnt go to AT around that time, X Sector really was as good as us oldies make it out to be, it really was like being in a different world I really do hope they can recreate that feel with the update and The Smiler.

[AniaPotter]
