INTRODUCTION
Our Nintendo Wii has been hibernating under our TV, gathering dust since shortly after Christmas. The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none).

When we walked through the Alton Towers hotel on the reception floor, we passed through some rooms than we noticed the carpet changed...so we knew that we WERE in the Splash Landings hotel.
We brought our tickets, but because we were staying at the hotel, we got a discount, if you stay at the main hotel you get a discount (like us,) but if you stay at the Splash Landings hotel, it ...
