Kind of wanted them to call it "Doom and Sons"

"Ride the Corkscrew" in a "Cine 360" style attraction!!

If we're going to get a statue for the 40th Anniversary I think it should be of John Broome rather than John Wardley. :)

Perhaps put somebody from the theatre world in charge.

Oh and my heart felt sympathies for the lady running the Doughnut stall by the Sea Life centre. Single handily making the doughnut mixture, making the doughnuts, taking the orders on two tills and serving customers as well. Under staffing in a nutshell. She managed to keep a smile on her face...

So had the opportunity to visit the park the Wednesday before Easter holidays. Got in pretty cheap by tagging along with a Platinum MAP holder. :) The park was quiet - thank god. Managed to get on the Wicker Man twice - which is really all I wanted to do. Really enjoyed the Wicker Man - top...

This could be me tomorrow! :eek:

<old timer rant> Like they used to do back in 1986 ! :) </old timer rant>

LOL -- Do you think they'd have worked out all the issues by then?!

Agreed to take a bunch of kids to AT tomorrow (Thursday 28th) specifically for the Wicker Man -- Am now getting nervous. :eek: CORRECTION - Wednesday 28th :p

LOL - No way i'm giving Merlin - of all companies - my Biometrics. :O

When your offering is literally a large park with a few big coasters - no point opening for Half Term. If your offering was family entertainment, a nice place to visit with good food, some actual shows and music and some surprises - it would be a perfect way to spend a day at half term - even...

LOL. SIXTEEN pages on Toilets.

Fondly remember the Towers own brand burger and hot dog restaurant in Towers Street. Massive Hot Dog and Chips :) The back of the coke cups had Henry Hound putting rubbish in a bin with the slogan "Keep Alton Towers Tidy"... such attention to detail back then. Also, Swiss Cottage Restaurant -...

I've gone mid-tier regional. In the dim distant past it would have been "worldwide". I even remember folks from Disney visiting once to have a look around. But, slowly, its been sliding down the scale. With the opening hours as they are it doesn't make much sense for anyone living outside of the...

I think blade (Pirate Ship) must be he oldest ride in the park ? I remember riding it in like 1983! :o

I thought this would be a comeback year for Alton Towers. After all, with a new ride its an opportunity to come out with all guns blazing (no pun intended). But what do you know, they screwed it up. :( Explains why those season passes were so cheap though doesn't it.

Ahh - looks like Black Hole is having a lovely, well deserved, semi-retirement... https://www.google.com/maps/@60.6534169,17.3409563,3a,75y,98.83h,107.22t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKW5iGK_tVJKCJPf9GiPJxg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

They have been playing up "haunted" Alton Towers since forever. Most Haunted from Alton Towers from 2013...

LOL. Haven't been to the park for a good 12 months. Every time I think about going I come on here to see whats going on then quickly decide I'm going to save my money! :)
