I am going to AT in a few days, what rides can you recommend? Any tips?

I hope the weather picks up, but doesn't look like it will be!
 
Have a look at the map on the AT website and plan a route. The best rides IMO are Rita, nemesis, air and oblivion. If the weather is pants then it might not be so busy.
 
Air
Hex (to screw with your mind.)
Oblivion
Nemesis
River Rapids (forget what they're called)

Basically go on as much as you can because it costs a freakin' fortune these days.

That is true, as long it doesn't hammer down with rain! :)

I will do, I got a free 5UB pass, so costs nothing for me. :D
 
When I went a couple of years ago, I queued a little longer to get to the front of Air - well worth it!
 
Nemesis is easily the best ride there. I've been to AT countless times and been on Nemesis at least twice every time I've been. It never gets old.

Air is alright.

Avoid Hex unless there's not a queue, it's not worth the queue.
 
It's a nightmare if it's busy, so I hope it's relatively quite for you.

I didn't get to go on Rita, but all of the others are great.

Wear trousers with zip pockets...
 
I know that Sonic Spinball is a fairly standard ride (a few of these in this country by varying names), but it's still worth a nose. It's a lot more intense than the spinning Mouse coasters.

Congo River Rapids, The Flume, Hex, Nemesis, Ripsaw, Blade, Oblivion, Air, Rita, Mine Train, Duel - all worth a shot. Nemmy being my fave.

Battle Galleons is hilarious - a must do for epic ship-to-shore fighting!

Enterprise and Charlie are ok.

Submission is pants, and I've only ever seen them running it on one side. Should have been replaced donkeys ago.

Edit: I forgot Th13teen - that's an ok ride too, worth a shot if you haven't been on it before.

On a hot day would always love to go on ripsaw to cool down. Most of the time the water is switched off which makes it lame though. Last time we went was when rita just opened and went especially for that. Only when we got there the ride was closed :mad:.

Log flume + heavy mother at front as suggested, Nemesis, Oblivion are the main ones to go for.
 
Get there early and head straight for Nemisis.

There's a new ride opened recently called Nemisis Sub-Terrain I think which was pretty pants.

I would go on that next if you really want to but no biggy if it's missed from the initial route.

Next head to Air (if it's open), often won't open until 11am so be warned, same goes for Thirteen.

Nemesis-Nemesis S-T, Air, Rita, Thirteen, Oblivion, that other ride near Oblivion that spins around (boring if your on your own but fun with the missus).

Lunch

RipSaw, Haunted House, River Rapids, Mine Train, Log Flume.
