It so great to see all the entertainment on Towers Street and how busy it was with henry Hound and all the characters out and the names of the shops called Henry's gift shop etc how things have changed. It was really magical .Lovely

I agree from looking it looks great but there's a lot of up keep with all those bright paint and props to keep clean. And the fabric on those characters in the night garden will need replacing very often as it will soon rot in our weather. And all those white and coloured plastic tents will be...

Re: 2014: CBeebies Land Its not a nostalgia thing every one knows times moves on. The BBC will see the up keep of there Costumes . But its Merlin that hold the key to the up keep of the park and they fail at all the areas they have done over the years . Time will tell.

Re: 2014: CBeebies Land Its not negative Ice Age is a brought in theme and the front of the theatre looks awful green mould on the signage the ice all going green. I did like the farm area yes but you can bet it won't be kept up. When Story book land opened in 1996 in the winter everything was...

Re: 2014: CBeebies Land they have taken one of the best themed areas of the park that has staid looking good since it opened way back in the 80's and painted it loud and proud and within 6 months it will look awful . It was so natural . I know Children will like but it just won't stay looking...

Re: 2014: CBeebies Land That paint work is going to be a big job to keep it looking good and I just hope they do because they have failed every where else. But I live in hope

Its from 1990 when they advertised Alton as Britain's answer to Disney as there were so many characters and the parade and shows and Jazz band along with the rides

Re: 2014: CBeebies Land So will this be goodbye to Squirrel Nutty the character. I know he's not overly seen but he was a Towers original.

Re: 2014: CBeebies Land The entrance trees have needed new leaves for years I just hope they don't use ones that turn Blue after a few months like the dark Forest.

I think no one brought the video as in the attraction they made you do things that a lot of people felt a little daft and intimidated I know we did we felt a little embarrassed . I also knew one of the cast members that took you around and he hated it because it was so cringe .

They also gave you a wallet that opened with the nick logo on the front just like the hotel wallet with the key card in . still have 4 of them . You could also buy the video that had filmed you as you went around.

If you phone up they will send one to you but you will have to pay postage. I had a Fireworks mug sent just last week from the Hotel shop.
