Alton Towers Theme Park - England - August 2012

Hayley and I went out to Alton Towers theme park on Saturday. It was an early morning departure, caught the train from Euston Station at 6:55....I got there at 6:54 and basically ran onto the train just in time!

The train took about 1.5 hours to Stoke-on-Trent, then we caught a taxi to the theme park. It was incredible. It's a huge area of land and has a big castle in the centre...surrounded by gardens and crazy rides.

We ended up going on a heap of rollercoasters and rides until we finally felt sick and couldn't ride anymore. The rides we went on were the Oblivion- a vertical drop into a hole in the ground (scariest!), Thirteen - awesome rollercoaster that stops halfway, does a free fall drop into darkness and goes backward down a dark tunnel; Air- a rollercoaster where you are face down to the ground so it's like you're flying, and Nemesis- a super fast rollercoaster (this is the or that made us sick!).

The theme park is awesome. I'd definitely recommend it. Such a massive park with some crazy, exhilarating rides. I was so scared.

Here are some of our ride photos...hilarious!
