On Wednesday night (or Thursday morning I suppose you could say) I left my school gates on a coach with a bunch of my class mates, heading for Alton Towers! At first I was not looking forward to the idea of leaving at midnight to have 2 stops (one at 3 and another at 6:30) before arriving at our destination at 8am but the journey wen by so fast!
Now, for those who have never been, Alton towers opens its gates at 10am, 2 hours after we arrived. So what do you do to keep your self amused? You buy miniature bouncy balls and fling them all offer the huge car park! Duh..
Most of the people on our bus where running round like headless chickens trying to catch these bouncy balls! It was hilarious to watch and I learned that I really do need my glasses... And had eye coordination training.
The gates finally opens and we all piled into the park. Me and my friends ran to 'The Smiler'. This being my first time at Alton Towers, I had no idea what to expect, whether I would be terrified or excited and I think it's fair to say I was a bit of both. The ride its self was amazing. The vertical lift leading to and from the 14 loops was terrifying as it felt like we were going to tip backwards although, I must say it was possibly y favourite ride, along with 'Oblivion'. It was so good, we came back for a second ride at the end of the day!
The day at Alton Towers was amazing! We left the river rapids for last and my friends got soaked! Luckily I was dry...er.
As we were about to leave, we found a few other of our friends and we all decided to go on the mine train for one last ride as we were due to leave the park. We had a blast and I enjoyed going on a ride with a lot of the other people in the trip that we hadn't seen all day.
And clearly, some of us found the day exhausting! Poor Laura :P me and Louise had too many bon bons to be sleepyyy.
I recommend Alton Towers to everyone! Even though some of my friends don't enjoy roller coasters, we managed to get them on most and they all had a fantastic time!
