Oh, but wait...it's not over! The Splash Landings crew know we've had a bit to drink...so let's just see how alcohol and water park mix together...WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!!

Do you even remember doing any of this???

"I'm DRUNK!!! I can't do this!!! I'M DRUNK!!!"

I can tell you one thing, the Splash Landings crew don't have a problem doing the dance...they are sober!

Ben! I had no idea you could twist that way!!!

"Have a GREAT night everyone!!!"

After an awesome day at Alton Towers and Splash Landings water park it was time to head back to our Alton Towers Hotel and crash out for the night! (Yes, it's Mid-Summers here...it doesn't really get dark!)

Day Two at Alton Towers has begun!

Our morning starts with ERT on Thirteen!

"Hey TPR! How's that ERT on Thirteen going?"

Remember guys! Psychologically challenging...not mentally challenging!

There goes TPR enjoying morning ERT!

We had the perfect amount to fill the trains, and then we just kept riding over and over again...

Some of our members got in 12-15 rides on Thirteen!

Back Row!!! Excitement!!!!

Oops...not quite enough riders to fill the third train...that means...plenty of rides for TPR members!!!

Yup...Thirteen's lift hill. That's about all of the ride you can see from the park.

Finally, they let the public in...

Now that I've ridden several times - front, back, and middle - my thoughts on the ride haven't changed. It's not a bad ride as we all had fun riding it, a lot of fun, but as a thrill ride, especially the be-all, end-all of thrill rides, it doesn't live up to the hype. I feel Thirteen could have been so much better had they marketed the ride correctly. Regardless though, if you don't listen to the hype, and if you go in expecting that is more of a "Big Thunder Mountain" or "Expedition Everest" type of family coaster, you'll have a good time.
