New lighting? If it involves fixing and enhancing all the broken bulbs in the vault, that should be fine. But if it's for the queue and octagon, I can't help but think everything will be brightly lit similar to what happened with Tomb Blaster last year due to H&S reasons...

The only announcements for The Flume which I am aware of at present are below: Annoucements Also, not sure if this has been posted yet, but to add to Imagination's post above, here's another file some might like: Monorail & Skyride (2012 - 2014) :)

I was there tonight all day and will be again tomorrow to see the display a second time. This was my first visit to their fireworks event and it must be said, I loved every minute of it! Everything from the selection of music to the perfectly synced lasers, lights, fireworks and fire effects...

As tasteless and vile as it is, I do wonder which one will appear on GMB either tomorrow morning or at the weekend to talk about this? You know it's going to happen... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The journalists' reporting accuracy on Twitter amuses me to no end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the Skyride technically count as a roller coaster as the Express & Star are making it out to be? :laughing: https://twitter.com/rcox_star/status/780355344207929348?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw One...

Perfect. Thank you!

Does anyone know if the Woodland Walk shortcut between the hotel and Forbidden Valley is still open due to the extension that's currently being built and if it is, what times is it open at? Planning a trip for fireworks in November and me and my friend have never stayed in the hotel before, but...

But therein lies the problem. The words "media" and "accurate" in the same sentence have never worked together. ;)

Ha! Called it yesterday and she said exactly the word I predicted she would use - "unsafe".

I was stuck on Oblivion's brake run on Sunday afternoon after a technical issue arose. Where is my 15 minutes of fame?

Anyone want to predict one of the victims will be on national TV either tomorrow or Saturday saying how "unsafe" it is after this event?

The post was written with a couple of other ones that sounded similar though not as extreme within days of each other on Alton's FB page back in late April/early May if I recall correctly. All I can remember was she made a long post saying how they walked into the projection room and due to it...

The projectors were definitely running with the lights off early this year within the first few weeks when the ride reopened in 2016 as they were all working when I visited during the last weekend of March. Although, they weren't aligned properly with the walls. If I recall, I think the reason...

Did Air ever have these issues of flooding in the station before it changed to Galactica? Can't see why it happened now and not before.

May I ask where this rumour about 2 additional replacement trains arriving before summer originated? Currently, I see no reason why Alton would see the need for the ride needing additional trains again until at least Scarefest this year when the queues for the ride will be big enough again...

Thought I'd create a video of The Smiler a week after reopening on my visit on Saturday 26th March. It shows most of the screens, effects and the half-way corrected screens and audio working properly (minus a couple of changes visible), as well as various shots of the ride in action, inside...

Something that's occurred to me is the windy weather that's due over this weekend across the country. Been looking at the forecast and there are wind gusts due to peak at 41MPH on Saturday at mid-day, with wind speeds at around 20MPH on average. As the high winds were mainly responsible for the...

I also reckon the Marmaliser's video was deliberately blurred so the press couldn't make out exactly what it read. Same goes to the Half-way Corrected point and the optical illusion room audio. I reckon once the media finally dies down within a week or two, these will be reversed back to where...

I think the projector's room music has been deliberately turned off due to the nature of how it sounds. For those that remember it, there were phrases like "Time to get corrected" or "You are now embarking on an optical procedure, part of the correctional process" as well as other sound effects...

I contacted Alton a couple of days ago enquiring about whether the hotel rooms for the ride would be back as well as asking if anything for the ride would change theming wise. Here's the response I got back: Sounds like it will be operating again in its original form. :)
