does anybody know any info about the new coaster at alton towers called thirteen? i hear its gonna be the first psycocoaster. Whats that? i also hear that you will have to be a certain age to ride, limit to one ride per day and the most dramatic is you will have to sign a waver before riding! :o scary!

Sounds like a bunch of marketing hoopla.

I knew about that "surprise". The one that happens after though. That was a surprise! Neat ride concept, but overall a little underwhelming.

i hear for an extra pound you get medical insurace from the park along with access to the medical examiner at the exit of the ride. how bad could it be? we gotta get one of the members from across the pond to ride it and review.

It's all marketing hoopla. The ride has a neat trick or two, but it's far from EXTREME thrills IMO.

I decided not to follow this ride at all, and kept hearing about it being a psychological thriller type coaster... I'm semi disappointed. I thought  it would have more visuals... not just a secret drop or two.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!
