alton towers chat aha, you’ve suggested a very good idea, one which I’ve already been toying with. I’ve got a few decade themed videos that I hope to produce between Christmas and New Year. Keep your eyes peeled!
3:28 1999. The year (and only year), me and my family went to Alton Towers. I used to be a big sucker for keeping old maps. I beg to know what happened or what we did with it.
In your 1981 section why didn't you mention with the others that-Doom + Sons opened?? And in 1989 you don't mention- Canal Boat Ride opening You never said Motor Museum,Swan Boats, + Festival Park Dome all opened in 1987, among others you missed out like Cine 360 n 1983 the repaced by 3D Cinema which opened in 1988, also in 1984 The Wave Swinger opens, in 1986-Rupert Bear Magic Show closed in Sept of 86 from opening in April of 1980 etc
@@PowersTowersProductions Ah ok fair enough, Should of put in brackets a select few of openings) Anyway yeah that would be great to do a full history of Alton Towers! When do you think you might start making that?
mikey p was about short of space sadly. I’m not sure, I would normally use TowersTimes for the images of old rides, but seeing as they are attacking every channel with their content in, I’m going to have to massively rethink how I go ahead.
@@PowersTowersProductions Ok Fair enough, Hmmmmm that is a pain in the ass, However you could show images in other ways like drawing's/Animation Or maybe just get the pictures from other sources Have you been to any Theme Parks outside the UK + if so which one you been too. Or if not which ones you want to go too?
mikey p I’m going to look into talking to other sources and seeing what they say. I haven’t been anywhere outside the UK yet, and I’m not all that bothered where I go, just want to do some.
Fair enough, I do think it’s very clear, but just looks a tad boring to me. My favourite is 2008-2010, as it’s just the right amount of clarity for navigation, but also looks very pretty.
It was a live show in the CCL theatre. I never saw it so I can’t say much about it, but I’d suggest having a look on Towers Times as I’m sure they’ll have something on it.

I love it when they release new maps because it builds up the hype for the new seasons and scarefests
Very much so!
I feel like 1994 is when the maps started becoming interesting.
Lewis I definitely agree with you on that one!
When amusements/theme parks really started taking off in Britain.
@Me bruh, 1994 was the year of the rollercoaster.
I love how the 1982 map is more detailed than the 2005 map.
Yeah, times change sadly.
Everything from 1995 > 2004 is my childhood. Loved looking at them.
Nemesis still my favourite in the UK.
I have a suggestion you should do a decade of alton towers video where you do an overview of the parks operations from 2010-2020.
alton towers chat aha, you’ve suggested a very good idea, one which I’ve already been toying with. I’ve got a few decade themed videos that I hope to produce between Christmas and New Year. Keep your eyes peeled!
I have most of them
That is so cool!
Most accurate map video to date. Loved how you included the scarefest maps as well :)
Thanks so much, I tried to make it unique while also informative.
Are you going to do a similar video for Paultons Park, after it really expanded and matured as a theme park by the late 10s/early 20s?
good to see the different Park maps from the past at Alton Towers. I only went to Alton Towers in 2018.
Theme Park Awesome I found them fascinating when I first found them as an inquisitive 10 year old!
@@PowersTowersProductions That's good. its good looking back at old park maps.
Thanks for this I was looking for a video with the scare fest. Map
I put in all the scarefest maps I could find. Sadly they are less preserved than the main park maps.
The music is actually really good

Hope you get the chance to visit again soon!
Some many designs the square 3D ones weren’t a good idea and all the maps make the park look bigger and smaller some years
Yeah, I’m not keen on the latest style. My favourite was the 2008 to 2010 map.
was not expecting air and rita to be that old. They still seem new to me.
Snack Head Cowboy time really does fly when you’re having fun.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing
I never knew Barney, Wonka and the Tweenies were part of Alton Towers lore
Cool video! I've never seen mabs below 2018, so it was good to see before even nemesis
Thanks so much. I find the older map designs fascinating.
Love it
Thanks so much!
Nice towers
2019 the goat
Did you collect all those maps?
These are all digital copies.
the 2007 map was when I started going wig my dad.... something nostalgia about it!
Awesome!!
Looks like Ripsaw’s new nickname is R.I.P.saw… 😂
What does SBNO stand for
Standing
But
Not
Operating
Standing But Not Operating. Sorry, the acronym was the only way I could fit it in!
@@PowersTowersProductions ohh its ok
2006 map March-June wtf is the zip wire thing coming out of the towers named “vertigo”
Sam Cinema I believe it was a pop up zip line in an attempt for the worlds longest zip line.
#alton towers the big six#
2011 map, nostalgia ;(
Honestly so much nostalgia.
I have the 1994 map!
I had digital copies of them all, but my physical copies only date back to around 2014.
Lucky!

mikey p because for each year it was a select few. I will do a different video in the future on a full history.

Why don’t they do the map leaflets anymore :(
Crystal Lou it’s just a temporary thing at the moment due to COVID-19. Hopefully once we return to normality we’ll see some more maps.
My favourite map is the 2005 map
That’s an interesting choice! Why?
Powers Towers Productions because it's really neat and I really think all the maps should be like that
Fair enough, I do think it’s very clear, but just looks a tad boring to me. My favourite is 2008-2010, as it’s just the right amount of clarity for navigation, but also looks very pretty.
Your right that is where the maps start looking like the ones today
👇if watching in 2023🙂
Hey what’s the background music you used
Monorail Station 2012-2015.
#altontowersthebigsix
My dad was working for credit card terminals in Alton towers and got to go on the rides for free!
Now that's awesome!
No kids
2022, Rita closes, 2023, SW9 openes
If Rita was to be removed for SW9, it would be very likely there would be at least a years gap between the closing and openings.
What’s the go! Go! Go! Show?
It was a live show in the CCL theatre. I never saw it so I can’t say much about it, but I’d suggest having a look on Towers Times as I’m sure they’ll have something on it.
Powers Towers Productions cheers just found it, it’s just a kid show but I thought it might of been about Rita
17th Day Studios ah right, no nothing to do with Rita sadly. Replaced the wonderful world of cloud cuckoo land!

Times were different back then. With a slight adjustment on the words I see no reason why the basic idea for the name could not be reused.
The 2005 Map look so cheap
It sacrifices a cool design for ease of sight.
