This is the day after Ultimate Events and I’m still feeling the effects of it by having a sore throat and feeling dazed so this is going to be a shortie.
I had to wake up so early at around 5:30am to be able to get up and travel to the meeting point where the mini bus will arrive to pick everybody up. The people I was travelling with mainly was from a baptist youth group thingy and therefore didn’t know many of them. It was okay though as everybody got on.
We managed to arrive at Alton Towers at a better time than last year due to setting off earlier. The rides that I managed to get on was Air, Nemesis, Congo River Rapids, and the boat River Bank Eye Spy ride which was strangely enjoyable but mainly cause we nearly tipped the boat over with some good farm noises. This was good that I managed this many as normally UE means that the queues are wild. I prefer the new skyride as it been replaced with new carriages.
The live music in the evening was fantastic with the highlights for me being YFriday and certainly Kutless. I liked some of Superchick set but I felt like it was cheesy at times. I did feel bad for them when there was somebody behind me yelling to them to get off. I didn’t go the gym this week but the amount I jumping and hand waving must of made up for this.
So yeah.. good times! 
Cheers everybody again for making the day so fabulous for me and extra thanks for the people running this trip, dropping me off going out of their way. (Y)
Dare I ask, how long were the queues?
Where do they put the stage for this, I know it’s in the car park, but can’t really picture where they’d have it. Doesn’t that limit car parking space for what’s a rather busy day?
Rides such as Nemesis, Air etc had a queuing time of around 70mins so it wasn’t that bad. Congo River Rapids was quick to get on though.
Well they have it in the car park that right next to where Air is, the ride still running when the first acts are on. It doesn’t really limit car parking that much as most of the UE people arrive in mini buses and coaches. I think they do create a temp car park though on some grass somewhere.
That isn’t that bad considering. Yeah, ride close would’ve been about 6 on Saturday; and with queue times like that, it’d probably be at least 6.30 before rides actually close. Sounds like you had a good time anyway.
it sounds wicked
i think you might be down the front on the right but am not sure…
I am not in the blog photo as it people in front of me. Not linking or pointing where, I am on the official UE flickr photos.
the day was brilliant (L)
the rides didn’t close till after seven because of the queues but they wern’t bad. We got on all the big rides and the concert was fantastic afterwards. Looking forward to next year, deffinately worthwhile
I’m glad you enjoyed the day – I hope to go next year aswell. I hopefully will have a That Ginger Guy shirt.. look out for it.
