Probably the best park to go to in England along with Thrope Park. I've been there 5 times now I think. Nemesis was my favourite ride by far.

I thought Rita was going to be the best because I hadvn't been on it the last 2 times I went but I had a head ache before I went on it and it banged my head around the whole time. Not a nice experience. Plus I had to que for an hour for a 30 second ride. Waste of time. I would rather ride Corkscrew any day (shame they took it down.)

Oblivion was my 2nd favourite although it's really short. But it would have been better if the drop was higher.

Air was really fun but it's a waste of time because the que is like 2 and a half hours long and it always breaks down! But the actual ride is pretty good.

So a 180ft drop isn't big enough? There arn't many dive machines that go deeper, and if they do, it's only a couple feet more.

Nice short TR tho, sounds like good crowded day at the park. [:)]

213ft but it's still under construction. The rest is only around 200ft which is a couple feet more that you'll barely notice.
