he's not the only one that has driven 'quickly'

on tv, but he is the one that made such a big deal about the timing which has encouraged people to try and better him / better a time
not only that, but he's encouraged more and more people to go that makes it too busy.
for me, those things have spoilt it a little compared to years ago, although i had the best 'ring trip ever this time around.
So basically it's ok for you guys to go out and enjoy it, have a few crashes and breakdowns but no-one else should be allowed because it stops you enjoying it too much......lol........I prefer Alton Towers when it's less busy myself but hey ho good things usually are popular
As for Top Gear - they have featured it and they have timed themselves, but they also make you very aware of the rules of timing and the dangers of trying to 'push on' round the ring, it's up to individuals to take responsibility not blame a TV show.....
Top Gear has certainly awoken my deire to go there, as it probably has for a lot of users on this BB but i'd always treat it with repect if i went.
