This is honestly the most uncomfortable ride experience I have ever encountered, I've been on submission a few times over the years and each time regretted it. It's hard to believe that in 2001 it was the parks new headline attraction! Understandably the rides popularity has fallen rapidly in...

Re: Major New Accommodation in 2014 - Themed Lodges Very interesting plans! Surprised to see them expanding onto the grass car parks! But glad that its leaving room for possible hotel explanations. Not had a proper look through all the documents yet but so far I'm impressed! If its done right...

I have to admit that I quite liked the show this year, it was by no means as breath taking as the last two years but it was still a fantastic fireworks display! I decided to keep an open mind about the show until I saw it as there was a lot of negativity about after the Friday show. And while I...

Ive found this season that the vast majority of staff have been fantastic, the Phalanx Operatives particularly have really embraced their role at the resort, obviously as you get towards the end of season you start to see a few cracks, as staff run out of energy, it's only natural, but the vast...

Also I like how in that blog you can see the stylish use of CARGO CONTAINERS!!!!

I don't recall ever seeing this photo before! Love how you can just see the towers in the background though! It's nice to see the old girl getting some love and attention in her old age!

I'd like to see a bit of general upkeep in x sector. Will be a shame if SW7 opens in march and the rest of the area still looks really tired and unloved.

I remember as a child going with my parents after winning tickets. Not realising it was the fireworks night! At the time only being about 7 or 8 it was breath taking, with the huge fireworks displays and massive monster projected onto the lake through the smoke. Oh and the alien visitors that...

Re: Talbot Street Tuesday (Picture Heavy) That last photo is amazing! Really shows how the area has changed! It looks like some little farm building in any number of stately homes across the country! Really incredible how with realistically not a huge number of charged the place is unrecognisable.

Re: Towers street shops.. Where has the Alton towers things gone??? This time of year is always the same with stock levels. Peak time of season, more guests on park, all buying stuff, stock levels will drop quickly, and as said before they aren't going to spend money ordering new stock with so...

I saw this in tesco yesterday. Was tempted to buy it but when I asked the masses on Facebook I got an overwhelmingly negative reaction and was told to save my money!! Still tempted,

I think the zombie scare zone needs a bit of TLC it seems to of got mainly negative reviews from what I have seen this season. I think they should open it up a bit more, instead of the scare zone being basically a small maze turn it into a more focused street theatre. For example turn a whole...

A lot of scarefest experiences have been mentioned in a topic in the talbot street forum here :-)

I dunno if its still there. But between the haunted hollow and the flume you can find the buffers from the end of the old train line.

Still not as good as the fantabulous magical bins featured in the magic factory, the ones that inexplicably played the toy land tours music in the middle of Forbidden Valley... Despite none of said musical bins ever appearing on park in real life!!

Re: You Know Your Addicted to Alton Towers (and tst) When.... When you hear In The Hall Of The Mountain King in an advert on tv and get annoyed that they have stolen it from Alton Towers

For me it has to be the first time we all went though the field of 1000 screams during its first year. It was a totally new experience for most people I think, and the atmosphere queuing up into the night outside the maze was brilliant. As we queued we could hear the screams and the banging...

I still think its a shame that Henry never made a reappearance during the 30th birthday year would of been a really nice nod to the past to at least have him make an appearance. I still just about remember watching Henry in the parade back in the dearly 90s stood outside the sky ride station in...

Re: Talbot Street Tuesday (Picture Heavy) I think it may of been down to the added cost of hiring more security to protect the actors from idiots that think its amusing to salut characters in that area.

Sod the schools. I think a lot of people on here would love the chance!
