The Alton Towers Dungeon

I still believes that AT Dungeons is great, in theory. It was always in the wrong place though. It should have been located on-property, but outwith the park and with an opening time of 2 hours before park close until late. It would be good that if they are keeping it on property - they shift it somewhere that makes more sense.
 
Dungeons tickets for 2024 have now gone on sale. Same price as last year - £9 prebooked £11 on the day.

Big reduction in time slots, seems the Dunegons won’t open until 1pm now (even during weekends and school hols) with half hourly time slots until 30 mins before ride close.

Also seems that July 19th is the last day of operation before it closes for the Scarefest retheme that was announced the other day.

I was literally just looking and saw the tickets were online, they weren't there the other day. Some days hardly seems worth opening at 1pm and then closing a couple of hours later.

I guess they will use the actors as traffic patrol in the morning or other ents on park, before moving to the Dungeons.

Makes sense, let’s hope they put the actors to use for additional entertainment across the park during the school holidays once the Dungeons have closed.

I imagine we might get the summer event and snow on the stage so will probably use them for that.

To be fair to towers they are good at utilising actors, you can often see the same actors do different jobs during the day during events
 
Just a hilarious thought about bringing back Charlie in for Scarefest this year for a maze.

Remember that whole thing in Glasgow about scam Wonka event? Why not have the nightmare fuel worthy character called The Unknown make an appearance in the maze! 😂 😂 😂 😂

Would actually pay to experience that! :p

Have we not considered the possibility that the Dungeons is simply fully booked in the few days before its closure thanks to its unrelenting popularity amongst guests?

Toyland Tours loaded and off loaded from the same location just on opposite sides of the boat.

Onload was on the far side of the picture, with off load the other side (which is now the location of the airgates to board the boat ride in the Dungeon).

Yeah, it is pretty cool eh. It hides the actual water wheel which provides a water flow to move the boats along the trough. The building did have or still does have remenets of the long removed Doom and Sons. Only some wallpaper but it was still there. Left over since 1992. That may have been removed when they modified that side of the building though when they built CATCF.

The boat that was part of the queue is or was still behind the wall. I don't think it was removed when they converted it into the Dungons..

You can see photos of it on this very website.

This isn't part of Doom and Sons, the only remnants left in The Dungeons is the final black brick wall you walk past in 'The Tunnel of Terror' before The Witches scene. You can't see it very well in show mode, but I can assure you it's very much there.

Also, the 'Inspector Teddy' sign of the behind the scenes from the TowersTimes pictures in behind the scenes of CatCF shortly after it opened, the image are actually in the TS archive of the ride, but that sign is still there to this day unchanged!!
