Ginzo is not disagreeing with you. In fact he's somewhat agreeing with you. We all know OSTR's are uncomfortable and he is asking why a coaster that does not go upside down have them. Anyway awesome pictures, BTW does it hurt if there is a lot of airtime with OSTR's because the only rocket I've been on is accelerator and OSTR's seem like they would hurt on parts of the ride with airtime.
Im not a huge fan of rockets anyway because while they are fun a lot of them feel the same. Of course with the exception of Storm Runner and a few others.

Here comes DAY TWO:
-
- So I was back to the park but today the weather wasn't as good as the first day.
I was sure it was going to get better later in the day but I was wrong. - Viewed 2187 times

- I really wanted to go around the garden but with this kind of weather I felt like it wasn't a good idea.

- First ride of the day was Air. I went there first because I wanted to ride the front expecting a different view but I found out that it was just about the same as the other seats.

After the second ride I went back to the Forbidden Valley for more Air. - Viewed 2187 times

Everything here looks so great! cI really need to go to Europe. Not just fro the great sites and scenery but for the beautiful, action packed, scenery filled amusement park. I love the Castle at Alton Towers. Great TR!!! Can't wait for the rest.

I've lived in the same house in Stoke on Trent (which is just under an hour from Alton Towers) for my whole life. I've been there at least once every year since I was 5, but never been inside the castle!!! What is that about???
After seeing your pics I've definetly got to do it this year!
Your pictures look great man!
Piers: Do you live in the UK (I thought you were American
) or were you just on 'vacation'?

^ Thanks!
I've visited only the part close to Oblivion because I couldn't find a way to get inside the other part.
