If the manager of alton towers told you that you have been on too many rides at his theme park and he said you could only have one last ride, what would it be?

I said Oblivion, cause I love it to bits.

Heheh, 'been on too many rides'. That'd be quite a few of us stuffed really!
I'd probably go on Nemesis. I'd like to go on any of them, but I doubt i'd be happy going away knowing I had one last chance to ride Nemesis, but didn't.
Also, would we have to queue? If not, it might be worth doing Rita for the novelty of a queueless ride on her.

Nemesis anyday!
Its the best ride at the park IMO.

Air because there is an alternative for Nemesis (Black Mamba), for Rita (Stealth) and for Oblivion (any tall drop tower). Air is way different, I won't find it elsewhere in Europe. Since I live here that would be a best option I could pick.

You need to try the SRQ early on in the day.
2 rides in 20 minutes on Rita when the normal queue was already pushing 2 hours. Anyway, if AT said I'd ridden too many rides and was banned, then I would just have to drastically change my appearance and carry on going.

Even better, get in early with your AP and go straight for the SRQ. While everyone else makes a 2 hour queue for the main queue to open, there's never anyone on the SRQ. You'll always get first ride fo the day... Well, until I just gave out this tip you would have done
For me, it would have to be Corkscrew. It was the first loopnig coaster I went on, and the first ride I ever went on at Alton. I like the symetry of it being my last ride
BTW, isn't this just a thinly disguised "which is your favourite coaster at Alton?" poll?

Good idea in theory, but I don't like the hour wait before it actually opens - would rather go get Nemesis and Air done first.
mark.w seems to have the best reasoning - won't get on a ride on Air unless you can afford to fork out for a trip across the Atlantic and beyond. I would agree, but I find Air too mediocre a ride once you get past the whole 'woo, I'm flying' thing.

It was very close between nemesis and corkscrew for me. But i chose corkscrew in the end. Its becuase its so old, altons original icon and all that
It was like when black hole went, everyone missed that too, but it wasnt the best coaster there at all.
