Hey I'm Dan - born locally to the Towers - well can't get much closer actually (apart from in them I suppose).

Have a strong passion for AT both personally and work related.

I have had several high profile jobs with various theme parks around the world which I have enjoyed however AT always held the top spot for me. Been lucky enough to be part of the creative teams within these theme parks but never wanted to do so at AT in fear of losing that guest experience (although have worked at AT whilst at college).

Back in the UK now and I have changed my career route completely to incorporate my original degree in medicine - I know bizarre.

Anyway that's me - look forward to reading all your posts!

Hi, I'm DiogoJ42's missus!

he's convinced me to sign up a) to be a vaguely official member for the micro-meet this week at AT and b) he moans that I keep making comments and should sign up to put them here rather than just saying them to him!

I dunno how often I'll frequent here as I'm a pretty active member on a different forum (actually I'm a Mod amongst other things). it's NOT coaster related I would add: [url=http://www.guiders.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]www.guiders.co.uk[/url]
but hope to chat/meet some of you all soon!

Well hello there TowersTimes!

My name is Corey (of course), and I live in the great state of Ohio in the USA!
Despite living in America and never have visited Alton Towers, I know quite a bit about it.

And of course, a lot about Cedar Point. ;)

See you around the forums!

Welcome Corey and TheDaftPunk!

Good Afternoon All

Hi I am DDF14 .. Real name Stephen friends call me Dusty

I currently work for Hawk-eye Innovations who are the projectile tracking company famous for its use in Tennis, Cricket, Snooker and hopefully soon to be Football. I am an Engineer for them and spend most of my time traveling all over the world.

I used to be heavy in the coaster / ride scene but lost the passion 3-4 years ago.
I also used to work on all types of rides, one of the reasons for losing passion.

My last park trip was Gold Reef City during the Champions Trophy Cricket in South Africa.

Favorite all time ride ... Dragon Khan
Favorite Woodie ... Troy
Favorite AT ride ... HEX (To me the complete themed experience)
Favorite AT coaster ... Predictable Nemesis
Best moment in my life... Worlds Highest Bridge Bungee Jump South Africa 216M

Half Brazilian / Half English

Currently planning FLY MIG experience .. Heading to Moscow Russia on Wednesday 14th OCT

Next AT trip unknown until I get time off.

Peoples opinions and freedom of speech are what educates us and pushes us to do and be better, so therefore I respect them very much.
