Great pictures so far Eric!

I keep hearing about people cutting branches back on Treetops... I take it this was AFTER I got hit in the forehead with a branch. ::x Jay rode the train before me and warned us as he got off that there were leaves and stuff to watch out for... Leaves would have been fine, but that thing HURT! ::lol::

Also, the more I hear about it and see pictures, the more annoyed I am that we missed the Megafobia walkback. Stupid Jeff and Clint leading me astray! ::wink:: ::lol::

Why is a duck when it spins?

Most likely we were on our way to some fluffy, fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo, rather than actually near them.... Either that or we were doing dark rides/water rides because it was the hottest part of the day and we weren't allowed at any other time....

Thanks everyone, I'm gald everyone is enjoying my photos. :)

Day 3: Alton Towers

One of my two favorite parks on the trip. I now think Busch Gardens Europe/Williamsburg has competion as most beautiful park in the world! Alton Towers was gorgeous! From the extensive landscaping, amazing historical castle and awesome rides. Nemises was fantastic. Hex was my favorite flat ride for the entire trip, very cool. Now I present Alton Towers, enjoy!

Got to ride Alton's new attraction: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I thought it was pretty good, I never rode the Toyland Tours ride before, so I couldn't compare. I did enjoy the elevator part at the end of the attraction.
