Corkscrew's Final Day - CF on BBC News LIVE!

[megatrain16]

When nemesis leaves i will probably cry

[KickAssFan2010]

@megatrain16 If nemesis leaves, it will still stay the best inverted coaster at alton towers, even if it has died xD

[XxThePosersxX]

Rest In Peace Corkscew. ~Courtney.

Would I Recommend?

YES, but its dead!:O

[Jmscoaster010]

Ugh, it's NOT "the Rita", it's Rita. Get it right!!

[AirgatesUK]

@Jmscoaster010 To be fair, the reporter isn't an expert on rollercoasters - so it is an easy mistake to make!

[discombobulator97]

this was filmed on my birthday- the real 9/11

[MrObvious15]

alton towers is due for a new extreme roller coaster, 13 doesn't count :P

[hybird55]

except the new coaster didn't beat it, did it?

[mrdeadguy1]

GRRRRR! THEY BRING THIS FUCKING RIDE BACK NOW OR ATLEAST FUCKING GET RID OF 13! 13 IS SHIT! THIS IS CLASSIC!

[EpicDuck01]

Mark (the only in the middle being interviewed at 1:20 ) IS SOOO LIKE GOK WAN! :D

[ClongBlong]

A Limb God

[pinapplepony]

I was only 8 when I first went on the corkscrew in 2005 :)

[95xXxdude]

y do ppl scream coz the first roller coasters ive ever been on are every single ride in thorpe park just a woohoo and ohYH! ppl are just little pussies for screaming. wen u go on them it feels like ppl are screaming over nothing.

[mojododo85]

Just because the corkscrew was an old classic doesn't mean that it should have stayed. It was constantly breaking down, you were black and blue when the ride was finished.. it's time was up

[FizzyFizzlesRox]

@coolgamer512 That was th13teen right??

[themman10]

@FizzyFizzlesRox yeah, and its crap, BRING CORKSCRWEW BACK

[EastMidlandsSteam]

Atleast corkscrew has been remember with part of the track getting a lick of paint and being places right ouside the entrance (:

[TheDoubledx2]

canobie lake park new Hampshire usa has one 

[FinnandMillie]

shouldn't of ever got rid of it for TH13TEEN ,

[EastMidlandsSteam]

@FinnandMillie They havent, the corkscrew part itself is outside the entrance

[josephswan1]

@FinnandMillie i know thirteen is rubbish corkscrew looks so much better!!!!

[mixedmethod]

Huh.??

i saw it at Flamingoland ! wats it doin at Alton Towers.?

[zumshadow999]

@mixedmethod alton towers made it before flamingoland

flamingoland copyed altontowers

[rollercostergirl101]

STAY CORKSCREW 13 IS CRAPPY

[Threesixty12]

@rollercostergirl101 13 is a waste of time in it i want corkscrew bck

[jurgenvand]

It was not Europe's first double loop coaster. Europe's first double loop coaster was Tornado in Walibi Belgium

[IntaminFanboy]

Sure, I couldn't ride it, but I have a coaster just like it 3 hours away from me.

[crazyhan10]

Proud to be british with things like these :)

[LOLZARKID]

I never rode this... even though ive been to alton towers, thr13teen doesnt look as good as they boasted.. but nothing ever is :/

[chazbbe]

i thorght the corkscrew was alright.. but i did bump my hand on the car as it did the corkscrews lol that hurt a bit...

[thatkindofguy234]

no offense but i wasn't really bothred about this i thought it was quite shit compared to Rita or Nemisis.

[HamiltonNo1Fan]

if it was not for the corkscrew there would be ncie theme park at alton towers or at least nothing like it is today

[alexkeeton94]

i went on this 4 times in row the queues were short so i kept going bak all most fell out first time lol seat wasnt tight enough =/ lol

[Overst33r]

the corkscrew at flamingoland almost broke my jaw.... litrally had to go to the hospital lmfao

that thing was rough as hell! garanteed a headache.. but thats what made it fun.. knowing it was old rusty and pretty violent made it amazingly good fun! lol

[Dumblol1]

The new ride taking its place will be called Thi13teen, and and supposed to be the most terrifying rollercoaster in the world, and to ride it you have to be over 16under 55, you have to be in good physical and emotional condition and also have to sign a waiver so you cant sue them if you get scared

[RCT3Chris]

yh it sez that but it aint true, it's just a publicity stunt to make ppl want to go on it even more!

[Dumblol1]

@RCT3Chris yep

[IntaminFanboy]

@Dumblol1 No roller coaster really is that bad. Just to hype up people for it.

[Dumblol1]

The comment is old now, ignore it.

[EvilToaster77]

I'll miss that wonderful ride. I love you, Corkscrew!

[red99balloons]

my very first rollercoaster. sad to see it go :(

[UnitedDom]

im from mk! lol

[candy12567]

i was nearly sick on cork screw

[Elzrulz123]

i think this was my very thirst roller coaster

[ST3Dmufcdan98]

R.I.P CORKY !

[NarutoKuples]

Corkscrew is to be removed to make way for SW6. Alton Towers has a history for Secret Weapons. SW3 (Nemesis), SW4 (Oblivion), SW5 (Air) and now SW6. But we don't know what it is until 2010. Also, the UG Swings are being moved to another part of Alton Towers to make for SW6.

[henryandmurdoch35]

I hear its gonna be another world first =D

Its to do with spooky stuff too

[lucaanastasi]

when did it shutdown

[NatalieEdgeEdwards]

9th November 2008

[thedon201220]

this was on my top 10 list of coasters behind Air (Also at Alton Towers) and Shockwave (Drayton Manor)

[DuffBeer4545]

Theres nothing there yet. I went there the other day and there is half of corkscrew left. I saw just a bit of it and I was like lets go on it. i got to the entrance half of the rollercoaster is gone :O I was like oh lol

[DeadAffliction666]

whats goin there instead, and why has the ug swings gone aswell?

[SamuelH105]

ug swinger is now re-named 2 twirling toadstall and has moved somewhere else in the park and there has been rumours that there will b a worlds 1st coaster there instead!

[ryansjokes]

they havn't it got moved to the cloud clklnad and is now called twilling toadstools

[Moviejack360]

the ug swings is not in ug land, but it has been remodeled and moved to the the new section in alton towers, coo coo land or something like that

[TheComedyKing1]

[MiniCosi]

[OtakuHikikomori]

So Sad , I'm Recently Back From AT . They Are Building A New Ride In Its Place.

[ThemeParkMan09]

[Jinngoo123]

Staffordshire FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHH R.I.P CORCKSCREW BESTT EVAHH !

[CrowderKid13]

It shut down because it was old and it was really bumpy to some people, I thought it was fine, I only went on it once, cant wait to see the new rollercoaster

[dbleXdiamand]

[fiddleup]

Anyone wanting to ride the same coaster in the U.K......Just go to Flamingoland in Yorkshire.....another clone!!

However, looking forward to S.W.6......whatever it turns out to be......

[djfireball999]

COASTERFORCE!

[DanhindUK]

Shame they didn't interview any of the AT fansites themselves, would have been nice to get a group of enthusiasts. Then again, you guys had the T Shirts :P

Good interviews :)

[ciallkennett]

Yay! I'm in the background! I'm the one who walks off then back on again at the beginning :P

Glad CF got all the intervews :D

It was me who told Ian to mention Milton Keynes hehe :{

[hazahaxa]

Yay that's where I'm from!!!

[KramMediaProductions]

[rossjohnston]

[CooCooKong]

[casinobowling]

they are both the EXACT same coasters! A Vekoma standard model called "Corkscrew With Bayerncurve" The only thing different is the name and color!

[btomkins88]

[RnBwwe123]
