Alton Towers, easily - and no I'm not biased, I just genuinely think it's ace!

My favourite rides there would be all the rollercoasters really - Nemesis, Air, Rita - Queen of Speed (which I went on through fast pass - three times in 15 minutes, woo!)

Iv'e only been to Oakwood and Alton Towers.

I'll go with Oakwood though. It's in Pembrokeshire and Iv'e been there like 20 times. It's wicked, Hydro was my fave but I'm too scared of going on it now becuase a few years ago a girl fell off it when it was on the top and died ):

Alton towers is really good though, I just wish that you didn't have to wait in the queues for long and also I hate scary rides so I hardly went on anything.

Sorry to be a nuisence

but http://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/

should be mentioned!

A new rollercoaster, called (Infusion) is about to be unleashed

http://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.co...il.php?id=1164

The above link tells & shows all.

____________________________________________
But for the vote of best "Theme Park" from your list, I would have to say:- Alton Towers

It's jam-packed with great rides and also great scenery too.

But don't go at busy times!!!! You will get on 4 rides only, that's if your lucky

The queues for rides are a joke.
____________________________________________
I have been to Drayton Manor Park too.

Not too much there, but the Stand-up rollercoaster is good. YES, it does go upsidedown


Also, I have been to Camelot. It is really channeled for children, so expect loads of screaming kids and smaller rides. But it is heading for the chop. So get ready to say, Bye, Bye, Camelot.


and that's my lot!! I shall have to try the others in time.

I've only been Thorpe Park, Drayton and Legoland WOO! Thorpe Park is by far the best, i love all the big rides! But the USA themeparks are 100% better than ours.

Alton Towers, has plently of decent thrill rides and being a big fan of coasters thats great for me, plus the park is nice and spread out which does make it a tiring day but better to move about, Drayton Manor is ok but you could do the whole park in no time at all and it's pretty crambed in, not a bad little park though.
