    Wicker Man - General Discussion - Part Two

    Very likely the most random question of the day, but am wondering if anyone happens to know what the attractive green plants are within the wicker man queue line? Reckon they’ll look great in a section of my garden! Apologies for the lack of a decent pic, all mine are of big Bob

    [202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

    Chat GPT! Thought it’d be intriguing to see what it came out with on limited information, but who knows it may have more rationale behind it than anyone else just taking a stab in the dark (pun intended)

    [202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

    Theme: The coaster will have a theme based on a sci-fi adventure. It will take riders on a journey through a futuristic world, with unexpected twists and turns at every corner. The ride will be immersive, with riders feeling as though they are part of the adventure. Queue and Pre-Show: To create...

    General Queue Times Discussion 2023

    I’m one to talk really as we’re part of the tartan invasion! Scottish schools are breaking up for summer at the end of this week.

    General Queue Times Discussion 2023

    That’s good to hear. As it’s a week today im going I was keeping close tabs on the App throughout the day to gauge how it may be for me and particularly between 1-3pm there didn’t appear to be any of the ‘big 7’ on less than an hour queue. The Smiler consistently around the 1.5-2 hrs mark. Had...

    Controversial Alton Towers Opinions

    May be I'm alone here, but always strikes me with the idea of a cross valley coaster that there could be an opportunity to use it in the same way as Sky Ride, moving people from one side of the park to the other. Still essentially one ride but with a station each in Dark Forest and Forbidden...

    Rides you miss/wish you could have ridden?

    Was lucky enough to go on a few now departed rides on my first visit to Towers in 2003 and on a return visit in 2006. Boneshaker is the one I enjoyed most and would love to see a version of returning to the park. Was brilliant fun and well themed. Have read when it was in X sector as energiser...

    TBC: SW9 Speculation

    Can't add to the rumours, but would just say it's all good debate and great just to hear some speculation about the future and SW9 after a long and quiet spell.

    2021: General Discussion

    Suppose there's nothing to say they won't put 3 different temporary rides in those locations for next year? Either way these things were never going to sit idle at AT all winter. Be surprising if they reduced their offering for next year, especially after spending time and money getting the...

    2021: General Discussion

    Interesting. A prime site for a new permanent flat ride so fingers crossed it's to allow for work to start ASAP and not that they're charged per day for renting the temporary rides!

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    Monday and Wednesday it certainly was. Basically felt like we were being taunted by it.. No signs of activity on those days either (aside from normal pre opening checks and the first and unfortunately final ride of midweek.. Fingers crossed the rumours of people on site are true and they get...

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    That was me.. We headed for The Smiler first thing on Monday thinking it was a good plan and watched the one and only train make its cycle before becoming stuck on the brake run for 45+ mins when eventually they requested those in the queue explore other attractions. Apologies to those who...

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    Going back tomorrow and would also be interested in the answer to this in the what seems unlikely event that the ride opens again..

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    Just to assure people, as I was there, the current downtime is nothing to do with anything that may have taken place Sunday. We queued for the Smiler 1st thing Monday and testing ran fine and then when the first train went out with guests it then became stuck in the brake run. No idea if the...

    Thirteen: General Discussion

    In my top 3 rides today, albeit didn't get on everything due to down time/queues. Forgot how good that first drop is and then the other drop/reverse section of course. Don't know about anyone else but usually find myself laughing after the Krypt section, such a fun ride.
