Hi Dan!!! Loved this video!! I stumbled upon this channel a few days ago and immediately fell in love with it!!! I’ve binged the whole channel and so happy to be part of this community 💪❤ keep up the good work!!!

[@DigitalDan]

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate the support! 😊

[@NeverUnwanted]

Cheers from the Philippines Islands mate. Love your Alton Towers content in particular. As an enthusiast, I'm in awe of Towers. Such an innovative and impressive park. I'm more accustomed to the parks here in Asia and in the States. So AT is such an intriguing park to me. It's a dream for me to try some Towers rides, especially some of the "world's firsts" like Thirteen/Oblivion/Galactica. But basing off this list, it's abundantly clear I HAVE to try Nemesis. Thank you for the content, living some of my coaster dreams through you so it's all love.

[@DigitalDan]

That’s awesome! Glad Alton Towers intrigues you, it is such a good park and I couldn’t recommend a visit more! 😊

[@gamingandcraftswithlogan8714]

Forbidden valley as a whole is amazing, with the new theming, and the Marmaliser is truly mesmerising when you get close to it in the Ue Ue and on-ride. AT is a must-do if you’re planning to come anywhere near Staffordshire.

"it's 20 this year and so am I" Mate I thought you were like 25! I feel old now seeing as I'm 37 next week 🤣🤣 Think I agree with your order though... Although, swap Galactica and spinball wizzer round. I find Galactica really boring and I hate hanging on the brake run for ages while they take a year to get the next train ready and out 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@CaptainLuckyDuck]

Hands down, as much as I adore "Wickerman" and "Nemesis: Reborn", "Thr13teen takes the cake for me. It's a blast from start to finish. Truly one of my all-time favourite coasters. It's right up there with "Journey to the Center of the Earth" at Tokyo Disney Sea in Japan, "T-Express" at Everland in South Korea, "Batman" at Six Flags Over Georgia, "Hyperspace Mountain" at Disneyland Paris, "Thunderhead" at Dollywood in the US, and "Saw: The Ride" at Thorpe Park here in the UK. If a ride gives me good theming and doesn't let up on the thrills, I'm THERE for it (but, let me tell you, "Nemesis: Reborn is a VEEEEEEERY close second!!!)!

10. Octonauts - Not my target market. 9. RMT - Really good theming, and weirdly intense for a kiddie coaster. 8. Spinball Whizzer - YAHOOO. 7. Galactica - Run down, Operations are shocking and its not a good ride. 6. Rita - GO GO GO! 5. Th13teen - Smooth, Relaxing, and the drop is amazing. (Indoor drop) 4. Oblivion - Intense, Short but snappy. 3. Nemesis Reborn - Dont shoot me, But it did not live up to the hype for me. 2. Wickerman - Not even a ride, A whole experience. 1. Smiler - Getting more intense, Theme is on point and Merch is amazing.

My opinion on these Roller coasters at Alton towers: Octonauts is Awesome! Runaway mine train is decent. Rita is bad it might have a great Launch but the rest of it is dull! Spinball Whizzer is great! 13 is Awesome and Terrifying! Galactica is Awesome! Oblivion is Cool! The Smiler is crazy but it's Awesome! Wickerman is amazing!
