Well, the park is of earlier today back on TikTok and their only video so far mentions to 'stay tuned for brand-new content, behind the scenes and exciting announcements' in its description.

I guess it’s different target markets, but I’ve always felt Thorpe and even Chessie have been more in touch with their guests via social media than Towers Could ever dream of. It always feels like marketing just say no and their socials have always felt dull and corporate and definitely not very fun and theme park like!
That shows with the new group Thorpe have created, I just couldn’t imagine that with towera.

This is an update on practically everything at Towers. Most of the areas of the park are covered in this video, and Squadding Quads in this video looks for upcoming developments.

A heads up, the current window for the Make Your Mark On The Park bricks ends tonight. I didn't realise Towers were still doing them, but they are! I'm getting one as a birthday present (not til March, but going to order it in this window).

Weren't the original lot of such poor quality that the inscribed names can barely be read nowadays?A heads up, the current window for the Make Your Mark On The Park bricks ends tonight.

Who evers idea it was to put them on the floor, they were never going to last long when it’s just engraved brick with some paint. An actual wall would have lasted longer.

You could have bought a few cups of beans and a couple of pots of crisps from the hotels for that.

Paint it purple and cover it in Danger of Death signs and I could actually imagine that picture at Towers. Maybe some viewing windows as well, and it has to be fencing off something not remotely dangerous, like a small pile of rocks, a wet floor or maybe even a building with some sharp edges on it or something.They could start building a wall around the park and keep all those pesky locals out.

If you choose not to stay overnight, choose not to eat park "food" whilst you're there, really like garish standard fairground rides and love the colour purple - then yeah I suppose so.
Are we suddenly forgetting the coasters that towers have to offer. Wicker man and Smiler are another level of class and are up there with Nemesis, so I think it's hard for it to go wrong for towers in any season

No. I've been riding them since opening year (opening day for Wickerman actually). I'm well aware that they're there. I'm also well aware that neither suddenly make 2023 great no matter what happens to the rest of the park around them.

I've got to say, I do think that The Curse at Alton Manor could make this season a great one depending on how it turns out. If it's pulled off well, I think that it will improve Alton Towers' lineup of non-coaster headliners a lot; as much as there will be no net gain of non-coasters for 2023 as the new ride is replacing Duel, I do feel that it will still be a net gain for the lineup if it turns out to be superior to Duel.

This and NST reopening will create a good double act which will almost compensate for Nemesis being closed.
