The next bunch of photos are from The Towers. I promise coasters and more park pictures are coming up. The castle was amazing. I could of spent a whole day just exploring the ruins and grounds. The Inside rooms were imense and very quite, kind of spooky. But very cool!

My final ride at Alton Towers was Air. To be honest when I first rode it the first day I didn't think it was anything special. But after riding about 6 times during the ERT, I became a fan! I loved Air!

It is so hard to narrow it down to a #1 coaster for me. After riding 57 in 10 days, almost all were great! By the end of my TR I should be able to narrow it down to my top 5 coasters!

Nice TR so far Eric. Brings back alot of memories.

Looking forward to meeting up for future theme park adventures.

I'm slowly catching up in real life. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start going through all of my pics,etc.

But in the meantime I'm enjoying everyone else's TR's.
