  • i went at halloween for thee scare fest ant there was this girl drsesed up like the girl from the ring creepy:(

  • i looovvve this ride ! :D

  • i went for the scare fest and after 2 weeks i was still confused of to wht happend on hex lol

  • I threw up on this ride!!!! BUT IT WAS STILL AWESOME!!!!:)

  • This vid makes it too obvious that it's the room moving xD. Takes away the magic. xD. I mean, it's a bit obvious by the lack of being strapped into your seats, but some people don't figure that xD.

  • so that's what the interior's supposed to look like. in 2009 the skyride blew up and wercked it. Found part of the skyride afterwards, it's an absolutely tiny piece

  • I have been on this ride it was about 3 years ago I could not tell If the floor was moving or the ride.

  • I liked the ride but my head got confused about what was moving at the time the ride itself or the floor.

  • Liked this ride but it gave me confusion in my head telling me wether the floor was moving or the ride itself.

  • i loved this ride and i got soo confused lol

  • it was fucking SHIT

  • This is my favourite ride in the whole park, and thats coming from someone who likes rollercoasters. I'm not sure but I think its the music that really makes it. There was an enthusiastic round of applause at the end! All four of us (youngest 10yo, oldest 68) had a bit of a headache after, but we were all totally awe-struck. Fantastic job. Youngest was convinced she was upside down at some point, totally refused to listen to me telling her that our hair never once stood up off our heads.

  • @DelanceyVids Yeah, I LOVE the music on this thing too! Only once have I seen a round of applause for it though, a little while back. I've been on this ride numerous times. I find one part of the fun is people watching, seeing the fear and amazment of people who are going on for the 1st time.

  • for everyone who is asking does it really go upside down or does the room spin your seats rock and the room spons which makes it feel like your going upside down ok ad it is worth the wait i think its great not as good as some rides but yh it is good x x x :)

  • i highly dount it goes upside down as it has no harness

  • Ill be honest it really wasn't worth the wait.

  • well actually i have to disagree with danilrox1 because it felt alot like i really was going upside down i could feel our seats moving

  • You do all realise Hex doesn't actually take you upside down right? The room spins..

  • A kid came off the ride and said he almost fell out when it went upside down. Haha, cute!

  • Very weired ride ,felt ill but would of love to do it again awsome trip lol

  • Went on this ride today, had no idea what to expect. 1) I kept on going 'no hands!' then i realized we actually WERNT upside down. 2) I got a killer headache 5 hours and nap later 3)THAT IS SOME TRIPPY SHIT.

  • been on this ride wernt that good !!

  • so crap it was like being in a rocking chair 

  •  mind bending.

  • The first time i went on this and it did a loop I screamed but then i knew how it worked

  • best ride at alton towers

  • this was so coooool xD its so mindfuck, but when the bars come down you think the chairs are going to go flying like a rollercoaster but the room starts moving. its okay, but i went on it twice and couldn't go on nemesis D: my mistake >.>

  • OMG who ever thought of HEX is legend i love it. It's soo realistic even tho it the walls that move make a HEX part 2 alton tower PLEASE x.

  • i been on it not scary u rock side to side whilst the walls move big deal not scary at all

  • This ride doesn't make sense to me, it's a good ride, but there's a cursed oak which when the curse is shouted a member of the Earl's family dies, grief stricken, he loses his mind and chains the oak up and keeps the fallen branch in a laboratory, I get it so far, but then randomly the room starts revolving, and that's what doesn't make sense.

  • aweosme. my friend was pissing her pants :)

  • i went on this wen i wz like 9 and we had 2 go on wiv my dads mates step son who wz 10. my mom went on wiv us and his step son nerly broke my moms hand LOL :) i wz scared bt not as much as him :P

  • Its soo scary,Its really freaky and scary I kept my eyes shut half the way! =)

  • lol my mum nearly wet herself on this !

    She had no idea it was an actual ride and thought that it was just a museum or something and then when she got on she was petrified lol!

  • been on this ride, it makes you feel like you re upside down but actually ure not!! xx lol :)

  • @ilovewillowsmith1 I know it's the room that moves as well as the benches to make you feel like that x :)

  • @ilovewillowsmith1 so shit

  • @ilovewillowsmith1 really? omg thanks for spoiling it for me :(

  • Me and my family went on the ride a few years back....

    We waited in line for 3 hours..... Worth the wait!

  • @Bekyess 3 hours?! holy cheesecake =)

  • i kinda liked the ride.

  • Went on this ride not expecting much, but my goodness it's quite a hidden gem in alton towers. For those of you who love speed, power, or heights, this isn't what hex is about. It's about confusing your brain and leaving you very listless and helpless. Really enjoyed it, and people left and right of me were screaming (and even crying).

  • Continued... Children were screaming and crying and the drains in the car park were causing floods. It was like some disaster movie, it was quite exciting actually. But you have to think, would this have happened if we didn't experience Hex? I think not.

    I promise this is a true story and obviously I have worded it to sound better but this is pretty much what happened.

  • I last went on this in 05. It was the sunniest day of the year and this was the last ride we went on. When we came out of the towers though the weather had changed and it looked like a storm had arrived. Then rain lashed down so everyone headed to the entrance. However the parks power had been cut and all the rides and monorail had stopped. So literally thousands walked back to the car park the long way in the worst rain i had ever experienced, it was actually painful. continued above..

  • I went on it, it was scary but brilliant my sister half the time covered my eyes so I wouldn't be scared it was sooooooooo

    AMAZING

  • This ride is amazin you think your upside-down but the room actually MOVES it's an incredible illusion

  • We go loads and it is a really weird sensation but I love the ride! Is it the ride or the walls moving? :L

  • i went on this when i was like 6 and cried because i thought i was going to fall off and die:L xx

  • Lol i loved this ride XD

  • just a gay room spinning wow scary :l

  • i havent been on it cos all my friends say its ot worth it, but after reading these comments, will deff go on next time i go :)

  • @TheHartLover It is worth it. Its not scary buts still an intersting ride.

  • @TheHartLover when you first on it it makes you feel like "eh what a boring ride" but when the room starts spining you like "awww crap!" and think you upside down , sadly the ride ruined by a screaming kid behind me

    *advice * dont go right in the middle ,i was in the middle and it felt like i was going to fall off and all there was ,was a bar right infront of me that i can only just reach and the seats are slippery

  • it was very fun after the ride, me my mum and my cousine went in and i thought we was going to be told about the branch but then we was strapped in and then i was confused my cousine started crying and i thought it was kinda funny but after i hardly could walk but i would love to go again lol :) :D x <3

  • it was completly freeky my cousine was crying her eyes out but it was funny to see her crying but i was freaked out too i hardly could walk and it does give you a kinda tummy churn feeling in your tummy and i wasn't expecting it i thought we was going to be told about the branch from the tree but then we got strapped in i was confused but it was fun after the ride lol :) :D x <3

  • @Lauren8Darcie lol when i went there we had no straps .... just a bar infront of us

  • I went on this at the weekend. Does it actually go upside down.?

  • that isnt a ride :/

  • its wierd but i love it when ur head spins round!!

  • this ride is amazing not abit boring !!!

  • The feeling on hex is how I feel all the time. Really really disorientated

  • went on this yesterday,, it's crap. not worth goin on.

  • @manu4lifewwe It makes you feel, super confused

  • I'll tell you guys how this ride works. Basically the thing your sat it turns you 90 degrees left and right while the whole room is turning round so it gives you the illusion that your going upside down when your actually not it is the room the is turning as well i know this because when you went on it if you were going upside down your hair would be sticking up (if you have long hair that is)

  • @lukeyguy1 In fact its onley 15º that you move, not 90º

  • luvv this ride but i still dont get it  how does it work???

  • @nikolamuchova its kinda like a motion simulator - your seat moves a little bit (about 45 degrees) and the room rotates the rest, so it looks like you go upside down

  • I don't get the whole ride. D: What does it do????? And how is it scary? I'm only wondering. I've never been on it.

  • @darbytora14 what happens is that when you sit the room starts moving like round but it looks like were ur sitting is tipping and comes back thats wat it feels like but the room does move

  • People who scream on this ride need beating with a stick! I love the atmosphere and the way the illusion messes with your senses!! But screamers need to be banned!

  • The building that Hex is in was on Most Haunted D:

  • really good ride went on it yesterday but a bit of a pain when it takes ya to those gardens when it finishes tho lol

  • ok i am a bit confussed can someone tell me about it plz

  • i went on it with my sister on friday 13th august , it felt funny , we went upside down is was funny . if you have a chance to go alton towers you shoud go on it ? 

  • i went in this when i was about 9, i was literally crapping myself!

    i thought the wall's were acctually moving :L x

  • i am goin 2 aton towers soon i will go on this ride but it doesent look 2 bad cozz i went on one like dat at blackpool nd all it does is ur chair roaks bk nd forward a tiny bit and the room spins round not much 2 it though ha ha lmao

  • god some people on here are really thick, come one, its simple. The seats tilt back and forth while the room moves in succession, there are videos on youtube of the out side showing it moving, do you really think they would make a ride where you are barley held in spin upside down? NO, end of.

  • this is haunted

  • I dont understand, Does the room move?

  • @Mattay09 the room and the seats

  • @Mattay09 I have been on it, and I still dont understand how it works completely. xDD I think the room moves? :P

  • @Mattay09 Yeah ! you like sit on these long benches in a long room and what happens is the benches just rock forwards and backwards but the room spins its freaky but so cool :D

  • i went on this today and wasn't really expecting it to be that good..

    but wow it was un-describable, really confused me, and really scared me and my friends :D

  • went on this today fucin broke down ffs :L

  • All you do is go through 2 rooms which tells you a story about hex. Afterwards you go on the actual ride. There are two long benches opposite each other and you only have lap bars. You move a bit like the pirate ship but the room revolves around you so it feels like your going upside down.

  • @xHollyxxGerryx No , you basically walk through into a dark room and wait. then some doors will open and you go through. You then watch a 'scary' (its not scary) movie for about 3 mins. (becuase it tells you a story for the suprise at the end) then you go through to another room and all these tv's flicker on and then you go through to another room and go and sit on the benches and the ROOM moves not YOU so bascially it is an illusion of the mind (: its really awesome though :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • @coolcrazy918 i think it does actually move though because I closed my eyes from yh minute I got in and then I could feel myself moving! and how do those demon things come on the wall if you don't move!?

  • @horseracing2009 Maybe it does, i think the rooms moves about 97% of the time, but i agree... i think the bench moves a little bit atleast once

  • @coolcrazy918 Yeah it must do or you wouldn't be able to see the demon things on the wall

  • yout mocing at first coz you feel it then you just sit there trying to fiure out which way ur going

  • I laughed so much on this ride! It kinda tickles ur stomach

  • so what actually happenes on this ride ?? i mean from start to finish :L im going to alton towers soon and would like to know what rides i should and should not go on !!!

  • worst ride ever!!!!!!!!!! felt sooo sick, kept my eyes shut, never again!!!!

  • u do just walk thru and watch a video for like 5mins then yu sit on these seats and yu move round whilst the wall moves round other way pretty trippy

  • @cattygboyz16

    You dont actually move... Its just the walls.

  • hex is just...weird , i thought i was going upside down myself , but its the room! the room actually moves haha x

  • I actually thought I was upside down even though I would have fallen out I would like to on it with the lights on.

  • You think your going upside down but your really not it just flips to the side slightly

  • This is the most horrible ride.

    Made me feel so strange.

    Very odd !

  • wtf happens on this riide?

  • this is the shittist ride in Alton Towers fuk mee wt a waste of time it was.

  • I recommend anyone, any age, anywhere to go on this. It is IMMENSE! Me and my family we're going on about it for days and we went on it twice! ^.^ Awesome ride!

  • Lol, me and my family were defo not expecting this, I was expecting the seats to shoot off to the side, but then we started swinging! I was sat next to my twin and she was clinging on the bar yelling "I don't like it, I really don't like this, Stop it, Stop it please!" I was laughing my head off! But me 'n' my family were arguing whether the chairs of the room was moving for days ... confusing!

  • @DarkRoyaltie ..It's the walls that are moving -.-

  • i went on this and was nearly phyisically sick

  • this looks freaky

  • i shit my self going in i dont really like dark places but once in the ride i was like wtf? i might aswell of gone on oblivion with my bro :S

  • @trickedcape gaY TWAT L;OL

  • This ride actually made me feel more sick than ripsaw and nemesis. Its so strange i cant describe it.

  • wow the music takes me back!!!! this ride freaked me out soo much it infact il be honest it scared the shit out of me! its friggin awsome though! its like am i moving? is the room moving? whats goin on? is the chairs vibrating?

  • This was really wierd I went on yesterday and it was like we were ipside down but we werent and i just dont get it :P

  • @dvlxwoot i completely agree, i remember going on this and then talking to my friend for the entire time we got out of the ride and into the line for air - about how it actually worked and why it makes you feel so confused and like eh? what just happened?

  • This ride was so fun went on it today also Air is the funnest ride iv ever been on you have to try Air.

  • The best part of this ride is at the start when NOTHING is moving the room is completely still and you get the feeling of a force on you like your swinging or going upside down, it's really a WTF moment. Saying that I spent the whole ride trying to work out how it worked, I've been to Alton Towers about 30 times in my life, ranging from about 8 years old to 18, and I only went on this 3 days ago, god I missed out......

  • i went to Alton Towers today and went on Hex, Nemesis, Thirteen, Oblivian x3, Ayr and more. And i have to say Hex was my favourate, i really enjoyed it

  • This is a great ride, it really messes with you sense or orientation. Its a great feeling.

  • i've beeen there!!!

  • When you go into the room and you sitting down, the seats move side wards but it feels like you are spinning round in circles :P

  • @mrsyouwishyouknew100 ... no they dont lol the seats dont move, just the room

  • @kareninworcs I went on yesterday. The bench swings about 10 degrees at first then more AS the walls move. :)

  • Wasnt expecting too much but this ride freaked me out and my daughter was screaming the place down. It gives you the strangest feeling, really difficult to describe. Make sure you go on it though, it is bizarre but great!

  • great vid been on this ride millons of times great family fright ride love it

  • i feels realli weird when u are on it LOL

  • GONE ON IT LOL i got scared but its soooooo weird

  • i live in stoke on trent i go alton towers every week

  • i hate this ride , the back story with the tree scared the crap out of me :c ahahaha !!

  • the bench swings, but the room rotates in the opposite direction to you to make it look as though you're spinning round eg. the bench is swinging clockwise and then it goes back anti clockwise - the room would spin anticlockwise and then go clockwise to make it look like you go all the way over. that was probably a really rubbish way to explain it, but i hope it helps. :)

  • @Cheesygrin1010 .... the bench actually doesnt move, just the room.

  • in my opinion the best illusion ever

  • made me feel sick lol was alright

  • dus stuff jump out at ya? neva been on it x

  • this is so not the Official on ride. stupid.

  • I <3 this ride i thought it was funny tbh :') hahaha me bag with me lunch in was flying everywhere XD

  • @laurenskarratts How was your lunch flying everywhere? The room moves not you,

  • @jordannewcastle Because the bench thing was moving durr ;/

  • @laurenskarratts But, it only swings about 90 degrees the room spins all the way around, its just done in sync to make you thing your upside-down but really its just like a bench swing in a moving room.

  • @laurenskarratts the room moves, not you, so where was it going ? :(

  • @justinbieberfan150 Because the bench was swinging omg im sure i just explained that to someone up there ^^^

  • I loved that ride, i laughed my arse off all the way threw, kind of like the magic swing at Blackpool pleasure beach,

    if i remember that was just a room with a checkerd floor?

    no idea if they still have that ride..

    either way, awsome little ride, so much better in real life than in this video lol

  • I really want to know how they make it look like the walls are moving

  • lol the walls are moving!!! Noob - its a rotating cylinder :D

  • I know that.... i jus wanted to know how they made the effect lol :)

  • well without goibng in to to much detail, the seats you sit in are inside a large cylinder . the seats are able to swing to just under the height of blade. but the walls can rotate a full 360.

    The best part of the ride for me is at the start were the walls swing at the same speed as the seats creating the affect of you not moving at all, but you can feel the forces on your body.

  • all of you who have been saying what happens have rewined the fun! NOO!

    im goign on wednesday aswell..

  • I thought this ride was scary lol, im such a big kid!

  • You dont actually go upsidedown funky, You swing a tiny bit and the room turns

  • I went on this when i was 7 my first time and my 2nd time when i was 12 with the school i went on it twice

  • This ride looks cool :)

    And the duck ride hehehe

  • basically you sit on it it moves and swings slightly butt it feels like ur going upside down but ur not its just an illosion from the walls

  • yeah tha room spins around nd my dad is les davies who talks about it all at the begining. all of the history took him about 2 years to dscover it all and all he got ita bottle of wisky for it lol i like the ride but it aint the best

  • @lubiloz lol, your dad didn't commentate that, stop attention seeking, its not working.

  • @disneyguy556 HA lol josh fancy seeing you like that!

  • @disneyguy556 act yh he is, that is my dad, you can even ask in the ticket booth at the front of alton towers! i can even proove it! you dont even know my family! and im telling the truth

  • @lubiloz Firstly, to begin my counter-argument, I will start with an under statement.

    You are attention seeking.

    1) Your grammar is awful, you think you are going to win an argument like that?

    2) Not everyone at Alton towers knows all the staff, so asking a member of staff is pointless.

    3) I wouldn't care less if I knew him.

    4) you are not telling the truth.

    Show me some proof, bitch.

  • this ride is awesome but still kinda makes me feel really sick =D

  • The video you have to watch before you go on it sucks, but the ride itself is awesome.

  • that clip gave away what hex is all about!!! =O your not meant to show the everyone when they haven't been on it yet! it felt like your sort of drunk at the beginning. Who is that dumb to bring a cup or a bottle of water on the bloody ride!

  • i took a bottle of water on this ride to see how much of it was me moving nd how much it was the walls lol

  • Love it - a real mind f*** of a ride and proof not all non-upside down rides are crap!

    Theatre at its best!

  • if it actually go's upsidown u wud fall out :D

  • its not the chairs sway and its the walls

  • No its you...you swing on the chair thing but the walls also spin around you.. im sure thats how it works do you agree?

  • went on this today and thought it was fantastic Though it does mess with your mind

  • Omg that messes wid ur head when ur on that n it isnt just the walls that move coz when i went on it ma hair was goin over ma face x

  • I know do u actually go upside down or wat

  • do you go upside down completely?

  • i was just about to comment that its a mindfuck lol

  • thats such a good ride although all your seat is doin is swayin but the room spins its so realistic though x

  • i mite go ya

  • sick place going there this sunday
