A new section of the site launches and its all about the future of Alton Towers, with links to SW7, the Long Term Development Plan and the the Lodges. This will be where we focus on all confirmed future developments.
 
Phwoar... we have so much coming up, its unreal! The team have been working so hard behind the scenes :D

- Launched popup notifications across the site - you'll now see your notifications whereever you are!
- Lanched the TowersStreet Gallery - you've seen many of the photos across the site, but now they are available to browse all in one great place!
- Improved the Resort Status tool on the homepage - with some behind the scenes changes, you should now see more updates and relevant information about the Resort on the homepage.
- We've tidied up our templates a little to try and improve some small glitches in the site layout.

Theres still more to come though, so keep looking out for updates here :D

11th February 2013
  • Updated the homepage slider, adding new slides and renewing old ones.
  • Added separate The Smiler navigation menu. From this point forward the SW7 minisite is now closed. But fear not! We've merged all the content into the main TowersStreet site, and shall continue to bring you all the latest news and updates from the ride there. All URLs remain unchanged, and shall continue to redirect you to the correct content.
  • Minor update to the homepage by enclosing Latest Forum Posts in a box to fit in with the recently refreshed news layout.
 
4th May 2013

As part of a refresh ready for our first year birthday, we're making some small changes to the look and feel of TowersStreet over the coming months.

Today we've launched our new design menu that utilises some nice functions of the menu system we use (UberMenu!) and re-profiled the space used at the top of screen to try and make it a little easier to navigate around the site.

If you're viewing us on a desktop or laptop computer, you'll notice that the menu follows you around the site on each and every page at the top of the screen to give you quick access to everything you need.

If you're viewing us on a mobile, you'll notice the new menu doesn't follow you around (mainly to save the precious screen space mobiles and tablets have!), but we do have some more exciting changes planned for mobiles and tablets soon.

As ever, you can feedback in our progress discussion log, of which there is a new one set up for your use now here:

Thanks all!
 
4th July 2013

We're having a tidy up and redesign of our news, news articles and pages.

We're also launching the first parts of our new look homepage also! This work is ongoing and is not yet completed, so please be patient whilst we make some big changes to the coding/operation of the front page to bring these changes.

Thanks all :D
 
27th July 2013

As you know, we've always used the "Who's Going?" topics to keep track of everyone wanting to attend each of our meets and events.

Well, we promised some time ago that we would develop some new features, one of which was the ability for people to 'self service' themselves in the Who's Going? list.

We've now launched a sort of beta version (aka it might go wrong, hopefully not) to tie in with our new meet pages, so you'll now state your meet attendance on our loverly meetup pages.

Of course the advantages are that you are now totally in control, so you can change your mind as often as you like, or get the latest on who's going and who might need some gentle persuasion as they are just sitting on the maybe fence! :D

You can RSVP using the new tool here for our latest meet here:

As always, any problems please give us a heads up in Guest Services feedback thread too :D

Thanks all!
