The Alton Towers Music, Video and Other Multimedia Thread

I thought that Graham Smart composed Juke Box Jewel? He included it on his Bandcamp.

I dont know why he included it on there to be completely honest. I can't remember the guy who did the Gutair solo unfortunately.

He did and a session guitarist played it

Didn't know where else to post this, but I managed to find Sparks Creatives old HQ in Colchester.

I love that documentary!

You can still see Sparks Creatives influence in the parks today. Because Merlin tend to open attractions that look just like the exterior of that building.

Found these 2 unofficial designs on redbubble, definitely made me laugh

 

[Matt.GC]

Do they have anything in purple?

 

[Trooper Looper]

Looks like they've changed their logo again for this year on their latest youtube video! Not a drastic change, but more of a tweak.

Should've told us you had an online shop @zeock!

Nothing like being at work and blasting out some theme park tunes whilst getting stuff done. I have a large collection that I can play anywhere I am. Does anyone play theme park music whilst doing things at home or work?

 

[Poisson]

Not at work but have played them at home and especially when driving

I play theme park music at home quite often, which is usually Graham Smart's Doom and Gloom album:

Thank you for your kind words! I was sick of the old marketing font floating around being touted as the actual Air font, when it was never used after Air's OG marketing run AFAIK.

I’ve had that font years. Alton Towers Almanac has a good selection too on their multimedia page.

Where did you get it? I've not found the font found in the logo & ride signage anywhere online, and the ATA one is specifically for its marketing run.

Also, you can't have had the exact same SW5 font as me, because I made that recreation late last year.

 

[RyanUK]

Must’ve been some confusion. The Air and SW5 fonts are different. I’ve had the Air one for years, downloaded it from ATA.

Ah. Yeah no, as far as I'm aware what I posted is the first public recreation of the actual logo font. Happy to be proven wrong though!

Just a heads up, I've moved a large number of posts regarding speakers to the more appropriate Park Audio, Lighting and Everything Geeky thread. That way this one can remain dedicated to Alton Towers related media itself!
