Good Points

Shockwave and Apocalypse well worth it

Bad Points

Litter and graffiti all over the place,

General Comments

To summarise: Some excellent rides, but lost marks because of certain things that you don't expect having paid £40+ for a family attraction. The rides were fantastic - Maelstrom was not my cup of tea but I loved pretty much everything else. Also the Thomas Land thing seemed to be a success in attracting families with smaller children. However queueing for Shockwave and in particular G-Force was more frightening than the rides themselves - rickety metal staircases dimly lit with graffiti all up the walls and litter swamping the floor, plus gangs of kids sliding up and down the banisters with a 30' drop below (made possible because no staff were monitoring the queue, plus the lower age limit for unaccompanied kids being set at 12; should be 16) are at best an embarrassment and at worst a deterrent.
