I had a day trip to Alton Towers yesterday with a few friends from university, and I think we picked the best day possible to go - we didn't have to queue for anything apart from 15 mins at the new Rita roller-coaster.
Nemesis, Oblivion etc... were all straight on  , I've never seen the park quiet like this before! The afternoon england match plus schools still in made such a good day  What are your favourite rides here if you have been? I really liked them all and can't pick a favourite, as even some of the tame ones (the water rafting/log flume) provided some of the most fun. We were absolutely drenched as we crammed 5 of us into a flume - but it was such a laugh

Thats one of the only ones I avoided
Managed all of the roller-coasters apart from the pinball one which was closed, a few of the smaller rides plus the log flume, rapids x 2 and duel x 2

Sounds like you picked the perfect day to go Ian!
Last time i went was last year, Hoping to go later this year but is a bit os a trek from here.  Rita is the best! Closely followed by Oblivion and Air. Nemisis isn't bad either. I do like Oblivion gives you a great rush! You cant beat the Flume ride for all out fun factor though!
