    Famous faces at alton towers?

    I saw a good few during my time working there, but they were mainly a bit rubbish, Z-lister 'Heat' magazine style 'celebs', and I can't remember many specifics. Came back off break once to Jordan creating a charade with whatever boyfriend/husband at the time on Oblivion, whole shuttle to...

    MINI MEET: Resort Sleepover 29.11-1.12.13

    I would be up for this, bearing in mind that I have NO funds until the 28th for rooms etc! :(

    Fireworks 2013

    I really miss Dr. Pop Rocket's shows!! Loved the cheese. When it's just music - and not v good music at that - it gets a bit boring as the minutes go on, and uninspired. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

    Power Cuts

    Towers do give out compensation for time lost during power cuts. My issue is the expectation from the guests that Towers should. Entrance price does not protect you from unfortunate things happening, and this is one of them. And as has been said, sure less than 10% pay full admission price, so...

    Power Cuts

    What would cut the queue for Guest Services would be if people got a grip and stopped stomping off there in some hypocritical outrage that their time has been wasted queuing only for a power outage - which is not in Towers' control! - to occur, then demonstrate they are perfectly happy to waste...

    Which way

    should i book the Alton towers hotel or not (put off by bad reviews)

    GO!!! Do it. :) TripAdvisor can be good, but it is full of professional reviewers and also professional bores. They will nitpick constantly because they'll be thinking about their next riveting TripAdvisor review... :) I'd say pick ATH over Splash Landings because the decor is more tasteful...

    February Half Term - why isn't the park prepared?

    Wasn't overall impressed with the product offering as a whole compared to previous years. Not their fault so much, but felt like half the park was redundant. Moshi stuff looked great for kids, and plenty of rides open for them. Towers undeniably attract the thrill-seeking bunch as well - and...

    TS Half Term Meet: 16-17 February 2013

    Thanks for a great time, guys... sorry I didn't spend a time with a lot of you... but when someone goes 'Tavern?' and there's limited ride offering/large queues, then who am I to refuse. :) Standard chilled February half term meet... no worries about large ride counts or anything like that...

    TS Winter Beach Party Weekend: 1-3 February 2013

    Thanks for a great weekend, guys. :) Apologies for not being overly social and appearing to mainly stick to my old, old friends... it's been a rough time of very recent late, and there were times when I was wondering if I should have stayed at home. :) D'oh. Was a bit gutted to have missed out...

    Ride Music Poll

    HEX, without a doubt. They don't make music like that anymore. Recent stuff seems to rely more on creating a background 'ambience' (Mutiny Bay, Th13teen), in my opinion... would be nice for The Smiler to have an actual unique, distinctive track - but I doubt it. :(

    Oblivion "Mist"

    There's one switch in the operator cabin that switches on the mist ring, and this is switched on every day as part of the start-up procedures... as far as I'm aware, there's no way of 'turning it up' - maybe it's something the techies can do, I'm not sure, but not in the cabin! :/ I think it's...

    Staff Accomodation

    That's really sad. I lived in Well St. Mill for nearly six months in 2009 and it was great to bridge the gap between where I'd been living in Oxford, and finding something a little more permanent and homely with people I ended up spending time with. A lot of the temporary Scarefest...

    [The Smiler] Marketing discussion

    Re: [SW7] Marketing discussion I hope they are not really considering 'The Smiler' as a name. It just feels a bit like... 'Oh, look, the logo is of a smiling face. Let's call it The Smiler!' Feels unimaginative and uninspired. Also rarely a fan of using 'The' as a prefix in ride names, unless...
