    Major Ride Closures 2016

    I was shocked when I first read the news, and now I've had a few hours to think about it, I'm still a little surprised and disappointed. I remember back in 2004 when the park implemented a similar cost-cutting scheme, with Cred Street being boarded off including Vintage Car Ride, and the...

    Scarefest 2015

    The event looks very good this year! Will be visiting on Sunday and look forward to experiencing the new mazes and listening to the specially made music. The Dead Silence / Massive Mix was brilliant for the previous queue but it was time it changed. One random thing I would like to say in...

    Most Missed Rides

    It's a tough one. I loved Corkscrew, Dynamo and Haunted House. Bone Shaker, Black Hole and Toyland Tours were good rides too. However, I think I'll have to go for Dynamo! I'm surprised it only had one vote in this topic previously... this ride really could pack a punch with great speed, a...

    Scarefest 2014

    It is pretty poor to be honest. A successful event, which Scarefest clearly is, should continue to grow each year. 2008 aside, I genuinely think it has gotten smaller each year since its introduction in 07. Thorpe have a strong selection of mazes. Alton, especially given its size, should be...

    Football Discussion

    Hello Danza, long time no see! ;) I am rather enjoying United's decline, it has to be said! In all seriousness, they will be back, they've spent a lot of money, but on good players. You could see the quality of Di Maria in 60 minutes today. For me though, Van Gaal needs to drop one of Mata...

    Scarefest 2014

    I like that poster, its creepy and like someone else said, very Thorpe-esque. Would love to go but it's a bit too expensive for me!

    The IHOTMK Topic

    Some class versions in here! I personally love Graham Smart's adaptation of the theme from Towers Street 92-05. The way that it builds up to ITOTMK is very 'magical' and Alton-esque. I used to love Erasure's version as a kid too, sounds a bit naff in the first part, but the second part has...

    Scarefest 2014

    I personally hope it's given one more year. I do understand what you're saying though, Boiler House declined spectacularly, although it in its defence it never had a permanent home - its location/building changed each year! The thing with the Carnival is that the theme allows for humour to be...

    Scarefest 2014

    I wonder whether they'll bring that back ever? Can they or are new developments planned for that site? I just wonder because it only lasted three years, and was incredibly popular. Boiler House featured in 4 events whilst Carnival has featured in 4 too; 5 if it returns this year. I'm sure...

    Duel high scores leaderboard.

    I managed 153,000 back in 05/06 sort of time. 139,000 is the highest I have with proof though. Then again, I did used to go every weekend and was in a cart by myself. No breakdowns though! A friend also managed 185,000 on opening weekend in 2003, but clearly the computer systems were throwing...

    The Alton Towers Music, Video and Other Multimedia Thread

    Good find. Great to hear a good quality version of the Black Hole music, especially the lift hill that has never been available. And Jim, your best bet is to scour Royalty Free Websites, they tend to use a lot of RF music for special events. If you have a recording you'll have a head start...

    Scarefest 2012

    Good find! What's the track called? For anyone interested, here is a piece used in the 2008 version of Terror of the Towers! You'll need to scroll down - it's called "Endless Combat", nostalgic! "At last, I have you in my GRASP"!! ;) http://www.proudmusiclibrary.com/en/search/
