I would have been about 8 when i first went to Alton Towers and i can still remember parts of that day.

I went on

Mini Beastie
Gravitron (Would love to ride this again)
Mississippi river boat
Log Flume

Remember watching the Pirate Ship from by the restaraunt/pub thing and it scared me.

What did you ride on your first time?

On my first visit in May I just decided that I wouldn't be intimidated by any of the rides and just go on everything. So I managed to do:

1. Nemesis
2. Air
3. TH13TEEN (3x)
4. Rita
5. Nemesis: Sub-Terra
5. Air (again)
6. Oblivion (3x)

My pals went on Ripsaw but tbh, I was genuinely afraid of it...

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.

toyland tours, CRR and beastie i think :P

i can remember being too scared to go on RMT...

Riverbank eye spy :giggle:

Back in '94 for me ... black hole, RMT, corky, Flume, Rapids, Haunted House, Thunder Looper, Beast and of course Nemesis.

Oblivion, Nemesis x2, Air, The Flume, Duel, Rita, Ripsaw - can't remember any of the others.

It was 2008 And Im 15 Now So When I Was About 11

Rita Queen Of Speed
Corkscrew
The Flume
Rapids
Oblivion
Spinball Whizzer
And I Think Hex

No Nemesis Or Air Because They Were Both Broken Down On The Day, Best Ride Of The Day Corkscrew

Maybe only two years ago. (Little did I know what I'd been missing out on for the previous 13 years of my life!)
Went on Air, then Rita, and found that I'd gone on a massively busy day - didn't manage anything else!

I wasnt 1.40m at the time but i did hex , log flume with the log styled boats. Rapids , Runaway mine train

The Beast, Corkscrew and The Black Hole would have been my biggest rides.

As a small child I must confess I did not have 'the grapefruits' to ride Thunder Looper.

Next time I visited, it was gone. Oh the regrets!!!!

My first visit was last year in July, sadly it was a school trip and it was extremely busy, and only had about 4 hours on park, so only did the rapids, RMT and the blade :P

how do you know in that detail?!

I cant remember what I went on on which visit (I was 6 and 7 according my calculator) but between these visits I went on:

Doom & Sons (or Doom & Gloom as my Mum used to call it)
Corkscrew
Haunted House
Rapids
Mine Train
Black Hole (maybe)
The Beast (which no one ever talks about for some reason)
My sister (3 or 4 years) went in this Jungle Gym place that had a lot of Star Cloth (magical stuff )
The Towers (with its train board)
The Mini Beastie

Like Sweed I was too scared to go on the Thunder Looper

... I think that's it. We did try and go on Nickelodeon Outta Control, but the queue was really long.

I went for my first time in the summer holidays (Im only a kid) and this is the order of rides I went on:

1. Nemesis
2. Air
3. Ripsaw
4.Sonic Spinball (I think)
5. Oblivion
Then all of the water rides and stuff. The last ride before I left was Oblivion.
Edit: I also saw the ice age 4d thing and I also went on skyride and monorail

I cannot remember my first visit....
However I know it was either Squirrel Nutty or Old MacDonald's Tractor Ride, also fond memories of Toyland Tours and the Theatre that used to be there (Ice show? And Barney the Dinosaur?)

But for the last few years the first ride I went on was The Flume (Because ducks, tubs and funky music)
