  • Join us as we visit Alton Towers Theme Park for the first time in 2017. We check out all of the changes across the park along with sharing plenty of on and off ride footage from the fantastic variety of attractions. After a season of closure we check out the changes made to both Hex - The Legend Of The Towers and the newly named Cuckoo Cars Driving School.
    On top of that we discover the many other changes across the park for this season including the removal of 2 attractions in Cloud Cuckoo Land, 2 new additions in CBeebies Land and much more. We also keep you up to date on the latest from Secret Weapon 8, the parks new wooden roller coaster opening in 2018. We hope you enjoy the vlog and we look forward to sharing more videos than ever from Alton Towers throughout the year.

    I hope this will give you a laugh - way back in around 1998 I think it was, during my coach driving days I was booked to take a small group of 8 people from the Isle of Wight to Alton Towers for several days. 2 things stand out - I had to drive one of our midi coaches (which I detested) and due to this group booking rooms on site in the hotel, I was included rather than thrown out to a b & b, BUT for a laugh, the group had booked me one of the special, themed rooms (I did not know this, just knew that accommodation on site was included) and I can still remember sitting in this room with fairy tale figures and pictures and lighting all over the place!! A little bit embarrassing to be seen, an adult man, coming and going from what was really a childs best dream of a room!!

    It would be nice to see the Towers fully opened to the public, not many theme parks can boast such an iconic building.

    To do in Cloud Cuckoo Land
    1. Move Spinball Whizzer to area (place it round back)
    2. Replace Charlie & the Chocolate Factory Boat Ride with another indoor boat ride. But it has an outdoor finale drop (like Jurassic Park boat ride
    3. Have an 'Animaqique' style show where Ice Age 4D used to be..and other shows aswell (the shows can be on a rota, on different days is different shows. like also have a magic show etc.)
    4. Bring back Twirling Toadstools. Need more flat rides at Alton Towers. And a family flat ride (like Twirling Toadstools) is great for Cloud Cuckoo Land
    5. Replace Driving School with a large scale water fountain area for kids (like Splash Safari at Legoland or Water Kingdom at Paultons Park)

      Amusement Park Info the only thing I don't think they should do is the magic show coz they do that in the hotels and it's just repetitive

    When I was 8 we went to towers it was my first ever park and I was too scared to ride anything, and ever since wanted to conquer my fear. Thanks to you and your amazing channel, I still love theme parks and I finally I get to go back to towers this year! If it wasn’t for you I would have lost interest in theme parks as I never really get to visit them so thank you so much! This channel is the best on RUclips! Thank you for making these videos and keep up the great work!!!!

    We went last Sunday, I noticed a few improvements too, like the wheelchair access in Duel is now lit where as last year it was completely dark, Hex as you said is louder but to me that was a good thing, hope the VR is fixed soon though, even tho I thought it was better without it

    I actually love these videos and this channel. It's so easy to watch, I've been watching them for years and it always gets me hyped when I've got a trip planned. And the level of enthusiasm brought is perfect - don't stop reviewing Towers, Thorpe Park or Chessington!

  • @georgecooksonvids1406
    @georgecooksonvids1406 7 лет назад +5

    I disagree with the towers comments, I think the scare mazes being hosted in the towers adds atmosphere whilst queueing etc. The authenticity feels right. However, they do seem to close early in preparation given the mazes don't seem to change drastically (mostly)

    • @ThemeParkWorldwide
      @ThemeParkWorldwide  7 лет назад +1

    Adore Hex so much. I can remember the first time going on it back in 2006 and not knowing much about it except looking at the map at the time and being terrified by it when I went on it. Still need to find the Chained Oak. Hopefully when I plan to go back to Alton Towers this Summer.

    I had an idea that Alton towers should do a mini game thing like at 12:00 in the after noon and should play a theme tune to a rollercoaster of the big 6 challenge backwards and the guests has to guess it and it's slogan, for example nemisis-sit back it's a fright time

    Always enjoy your Vlogs. I went to Thorpe Park on open day and I have realized they are selling hoodies, but none of them have zipped fronts which I prefer. I told a member of staff and they thanked me for the comment. Going again Friday for the Derren Brown Ghost train, hopefully see you there.

    I remember when I was about 6 when I went to Alton towers, I was quite a tall child so I managed to get on thirteen. I also did my driving test and I passed!1!1 and the Charlie and the chocolate factory ride was a big memory. Though, the first thing I did was the ice age 3D thing. It was a good day!

    I enjoyed Hex so much - I was in the first public group on Saturday. Only thing I could say, when I went into the gardens I could hear the film being played for the next group in the cinema room, it was that loud. Altogether however, it was a really enjoyable experience.

    So what's actually happening with Sub-Terra? I assumed it was closed, along with other rides, at the end of 2015 after The Smiler incident. It's a shame that it hasn't been opened again.

      Yeah I know! I just thought, like those other rides, it may have been opened again. Free to your own opinion, I actually really enjoyed it.

      It'a all opinion based, of course! It's completely subjective. I was also told that Th13teen was "alright" and, after riding it, it's up there contending with my favourite rides at Alton Towers.

    Are Alton Towers trying to pull a Drayton Manor by making a rapids close to a roller coaster, including great views? ;D
