    The Alton Towers Dungeon

    Can’t believe everyone is hating on this. A dungeon in the towers would be great. Ive been to Blackpool, London and Warwick and each is its own experience. I wouldn’t go every visit if it was an additional cost but much like subterra I would ride at least once a visit. Not everyone goes to the...

    2018: Wicker Man - General Discussion - SPOILERS! - Part One

    The other guy did it and the noise said "be chosen", it was harder to read than yours is though and no one commented on it so I'm not sure if anyone noticed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2016: Air - Re-theme to VR Coaster - Galactica

    Food loop is mack owned, it's pretty rare for a theme park to enter any agreement to install a single entity at a park or a property. It's almost always a multi deal purchase normally with separate installs over multiple years or multiple parks. I'm guessing that the food loop deal was...

    I see. In which case I agree. Pretty shitty of merlin to favour their own cause rather than something better.

    It's the law... not sure why you would believe otherwise considering it was all over the news for days. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/single-use-plastic-carrier-bags-why-were-introducing-the-charge/carrier-bags-why-theres-a-5p-charge

    "But it's for them to choose" refers not to the choice to charge for bags but the choice of charity. It's now the law in England as it has been in Wales for a while now. The information is here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/carrier-bag-charges-retailers-responsibilities#bags-you-charge-for

    Alternative Route to Towers needed!

    I drove from Cardiff to Alton (3 hours) and told my daughter that we were driving her mum to a job interview. I told her to pick some songs for Spotify as we got to the usual suspects (JCB Factory etc...). It was a school day and we made her wear her uniform and prepacked the car the night...

    It's disappeared along with subterra. Technical glitch.

    Ripsaw is still wrapped up. Mechanics working at 9.30am on the point where the carriage meets the arm. Obviously trying to get it open ASAP. Park is busy again.

    2015: General Discussion

    Yes loads of little queue skipping brats at the resort. Having read the past weeks reports they didn't give any indication that the resort was busy, so it was surprising to see oblivion with a 45 minute queue as early as 10.50. Combine a mass of kids with 6 ride closures and you have trouble :(...

    2015: General Discussion

    6 rides down all day today. Smiler (obviously). Sub-Terra. Ripsaw. Charlie and the chocolate Factory. Enterprise & Duel. Not great at all. Queues massive for most of the day until about 3. Ripsaw has scaffolding and is completely covered away from the public. Could see a few green jackets...

    Planet Coaster: new Frontier game

    This looks more like it. Hell, I'd play the heck out of a HD remake of RCT2. RCT3 was great but it was way to cartoonish. The new Atari game looks absolutely crud. I have a lot of faith in frontier to put things right. They now know what the fans want and they can do it, even if it's a slightly...

    Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

    This doesn't make any sense. If a plane crashed and people died and the airline said your flight had been cancelled and you wouldn't be getting a refund because you used air-miles, you would be totally happy with that outcome? Just because something is tragic the company still has a line of...

    Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

    I think you missed the point. Annual pass holder or not, some people don't live near Alton Towers. I've booked a trip for the 23rd and I'll be picking up an Annual Pass for my family. Our journey is 4 hours and I booked my trip 2 weeks before the Smiler accident. That's £300 on the hotel and...

    Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

    Looks like Alton Towers are getting a little confused on Facebook: Jon Boardman responds I have sun tickets for Tuesday, due to x sector not being available can I use these tickets at Thorpe park? Thanks Alton Towers responds Hi Jon, as Alton Towers is open tomorrow you will only be able to...

    Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

    I don't see the problem with that. I'm going on the 23rd for 3 days, 2 days booked in the hotel. Even though it should be quiet we've booked 3 days as the smiler queue was likely to be about an hour long and 3 days gives us plenty of time for our annual visit including time in the towers and...

    Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

    Thinking over the serious nature of the leg injuries to the persons on the front of the ride, considering it took 5 hours to evacuate them, it was EXTREMELY fortunate that no one severed any important artery's and that none of the 4 suffered massive blood loss in those hours. I guess this was...
