Stay in the Hotel. It is amazing (i stayed in the water park hotel). You get free entry into the water park (which is suprisingly small and quite naff, but if you are with friends it is a right laugh). Hotel guests also get to get to go into the park early and are allowed to queue jump in some rides like oblivion (which is amazing).
The Best rides are Oblivion - don't be scared it isn't that bad (it only lasts 10 seconds)
The Pin ball ride is amazing
Rita Queen of speed is THE BEST RIDE. 0-100mph is 2 seconds. WHAT A THRILL. I couldnt walk after. I went on twice.

DO NOT GO ON CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY RIDE. IT IS CRAP. So very boring.

Mainly enjoy yourself and dont be scared.

I loved air and oblivion! Also if you can book in advance some times you can get early entry tickets. This is so worth it as you should run around all the big rides to avoid the queues later on! Try also to keep luggage as light as possible so you haven't got to worry about bags on rides. Have fun!!!

Have you not seen Final Destination 3? I've always been a huge fan of white knuckle rides but I'd be too scared now. I've even stopped using sunbeds after watching that which is probably a good thing - damn stupid film!!!

IMO,
*Hex(Not extreme, but really plays with your mind!)
*Rita: Queen of Speed
*Air

Can't remember any of the others I went on now(Went in August 2005 for the first time)

well in my experience its to try find a short cut to the mini apple(rip) by wandering over fences into the wilderness for 2hours only to be picked up by a park ranger guy and be escorted back to the park in shame...then go on oblivion!

Its years since i went there but here goes;
Ride Nemesis, thunder mountain/runaway train(tame), The beast(tame) visit cine2000 or whatever they call it now.
Ride the magic carpet, dont bother with the house visit unless you are interested in history,
I cant think of what else they have there now, as i said its 15yrs since i went.

Oblivion. Nemesis. Rita, Queen of Speed. Air.
In that order :-)
