Hopefully I can experience The Big Ones drop next year despite the hate it gets.

I think the ops and opening at towers instantly makes thorpe better. At thorpe you have more time, its generally quieter and you dont have to worry about rides going doing mid queue, and if they go down as you walk over its whatever. Alton towers im always worrying if rides will go down (apart from nemesis) and even if you walk to a ride and it breaks, you waste so much time just by walking. In almoat every other aspect alton is better, but if i cant enjoy the rides without them going down then theres not much point. But Towers at its best imo is better than thorpe at its best but thorpe is so much better currently

Great Video and very unique, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers Peter 🙂

Hyperia was hugely overated imo

Excellent video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thorpe clears towers easily

This year was my first time at Thorpe Park and it was very good, but I still prefer Alton Towers. I agree, Thorpe has more thrilling coasters overall, but its main selling point is thrills and not much else. Alton Towers has much more variety, with a large area for kids under 6 (CBeebies land), 3 areas for kids aged 6 to 10 (mutiny bay, Katanga canyon and David Walliams world) and 4 areas for 11 and up (x sector, dark forest, gloomy wood and forbidden valley). Also, Alton Towers feels a lot more magical than Thorpe Park because of the height restriction. Thorpe Park is very out in the open, especially with Stealth and Hyperia. Alton Towers really feels like a resort and it feels like more like a floating island as some 2010s maps depicted it, while Thorpe is on a small island with some buildings and land surrounding it. I’d say that the mystery of Alton Towers makes it more exciting to ride new rides because you don’t know what you’re going to get with them, but with Thorpe the rides are basically all above ground and most of the time (apart from Saw’s start and Walking Dead The Ride) they’re out in the open, which takes away the surprise of the rides. Also, considering the events, Alton are stepping up a notch this year with them remaking the inside of the dungeons for Scarefest, and Hex is probably opening for Scarefest with some new effects too. Also the events, too, have more for kids at Alton. Especially Trick Or Treat Town, which Thorpe has nothing like at Fright Nights. And I’m pretty sure Thorpe Park has nothing at all in terms of winter events, where at Alton they have some of the park and all the hotels, golf and the waterpark open for winter, as well as Christmas decorations. And talking about the Waterpark, the Alton Towers one is on a much better level than Thorpe, where there’s just a beach and one racing water slide. And it’s inside the park and out in the open too, so if it’s raining (which isn’t too rare in Britain) you won’t be able to go to the water park and enjoy it as much as you can at Alton, where for most of the water park they cover the top of it with a dome. Sorry for the size of this comment, by the way. I think I know too much about the theme parks

Nemesis>Inferno Stealth>Rita Smiler>Saw

Alton towers is easily better no matter what Thorpe park does since the staff are way nicer the atmosphere is just really nice and welcoming the coasters are really good the theming works so well at towers and it’s in an accessible area for everyone to get to

0:39 alton towers is missing a standout coaster!? THE SMILLER!!!!

Thorpe parks standout is flying fish. It's soo intense

The only reason people say Alton towers is because they live closer to there

By far Thorpe Park, I'm always dissapointed with the rides that I got on and just the overall day at Towers, whereas Thorpe Park really surprised me. Great video!!!

i would say alton towers, but then thorpe park came with the behemoth of hyperia

Thorpe has better rides, towers is a better park

Usually I would say towers but thorpe has been operated so well this season, plus it does have the superior coaster line up

I think Thorpe Park is much better for numerous reasons: 1) The size of the park Thorpe Park is much more convenient and much easier to traverse. Sure Alton Towers has a good decoration, but 99% of us came for the rides, not the towers or the lake 2) The variety of rides Thorpe Park has many more flat rides and water rides than Alton Towers. It's good to have a variety of rides and riding Samurai or Detonator never gets boring 3) The rides itself No doubt, the rides at Thorpe Park are more thrilling 4) The roughness of the rides Alton Towers has many more rough rides than Thorpe Park. I got headaches after riding Rita and the Smiler just made it worse. Yes there is Colossus and Saw, but there is just no rides that give a completely smooth experience at Alton Towers 5) Other Tiny Things The 20 min walk to the car park, no queue time displays, lack of chain restaurants (Thorpe Park has them all) I'm not biased, I've visited both them parks and I'm judging off my personal experience so don't be frustrated if you prefer Alton Towers (it's still good, but can't beat Thorpe)

I still think Alton towers is better due to more of a full experience. Thorpe park is very lightly themed while Alton towers gives you great rides with a great atmosphere too. Also I think SW10 will be their standout attraction when it gets built.SW9 doesn’t have the ride space to be something too big and indoor coasters aren’t too thrilling. Good video👍

“Thorpe has better restaurants” Rollercoaster restaurant left the chat.

In my opinion if you want a nice atmosphere and immersive experiences then alton is the way to go! But Thorpe offers a great line up of thrilling coasters perfect for anyone that isn't a family lol... Overall I prefer Thorpe because of its more thrilling experiences... Great video!!

can you do one for blackpool pleasure beach

Wicker man is a front four. You could easily see yourself plunging into big bob

Saws last dive loop is so intense that you can really see it swaying and shaking

flying fish is the most intence ride even princess diana was to scared to go on it

good vid dude ohio grimis

What a pointless video!

Mumbo jumbo ?

Everything you said about saw is my favourite. I love the fact the brakes don’t work. And the drop is brilliant. The worst part is the lift hill as it feels like you will fall backwards out off your set

So he thinks hyperia,s brakes are slow you down to much but saws too slow…what does he want

I'm going soon with my brother but he'll only go on tidal wave, the walking dead and flying fish. I really wanna try the swarm but not alone so maybe another time

Hyperia is better than anything else in the uk by miles and miles anyone who says otherwise is stupid

Saw is not rough,

For me I think that saw is even rougher than colossus 😅

Depressing rita trumpet😂

Colossus needs to accomidate larger riders...

Rita is underrated edit: i just found out someone added the same comment i’m sorry

Saw, stealth, big one, wickerman ,oblivion,nemesis,swarm, smiler, megaphobia, hyperia

At 0-80mph in 1.9 seconds, Stealth is not the fastest accelerating coaster in the world, that honour goes to Do-Dodonpa in Japan clocking in at 0-112mph in the same time. Stealth isn't even the fastest accelerator in the UK, Ritas drive only runs for 0.9 seconds which means you stop accelerating about where the on-ride photo camera is. The rest of the straight track is used to stop the catch car.

Underrated - Th13teen Fairly Rated- Wicker Man Underrated- The Smiler Slightly Underrated- Rita Fairly Rated- Nemesis Reborn Slightly Underrated- Oblivion Slightly Overrated - Spinball Whizzer Slightly Underrated - Runaway Mine Train Fairly Rated - Galactica

Worst part of hyperia is getting off the ride 😢😢😢

my favourite was the smiler when i went a couple days ago, nemesis reborn wasnt that good i'd say, the que time was only an hour tho so i guess its good, id rate galactica above it tho because i had great fun pretending to be superman with my friend (we both sat at the front)

Nice video! Will you do one for alton towers too?
