Whoever picked this to be the park’s theme is an absolute genius. It perfectly captures how everything in the park is spread out and can’t be seen above the trees. The tune makes you feel like you’re wondering around and can’t see anything before uncovering the chaotic and thrilling rides hidden away. I can’t hear this theme without thinking of Alton Towers.
Fun fact: This song was inspired by a dream that Grieg (composer) had. He fell in love with the daughter of the king of the mountain. The king was enraged at this and chased him round the halls. As he ran faster and faster, the music picked up and the king gained on him, only to catch him at the end of the song.
I feel more people recognise this as "That Alton Towers music" than as an actual classical piece of music. Also, it turns out, this was written for a play and has lyrics!
I cant wait for my weekend at Alton towers this piece of music is just so addictive really put you in the mood for the best theme park ever Altontowers
As a kid I loved Alton Towers and it's creepy theming. The fact the whole place is basically in the woods and (being in northern England) usually dark and overcast every time I went, adds to the forbidding atmosphere. Must take my own little lad sometime (even though, unlike me, he hates big rides 😪). I hear the Scarefest they have nowadays is good fun.
I haven't been in 2 years and me and my family have been going since I was like 6 years old. I MISS YOU ALTON TOWERS. You could never get tired of Alton towers tbh. I am gonna go cry now. Hopefully we go back this year. 🤞🏻
I feel a bit bad for the staff and owners of Alton Towers to constantly get complaints about the noise from a couple nearby who CHOSE to live next to a theme park
I wish I could go to Alton towers I’ve never been in my whole life and seeing everyone else go and all the adverts on tv makes me wanna go im so hoping I go soon 😭😭🥺🥺💔💔
This song just suits adverts that are meant to give you excitement, it worked for Alton towers and it worked for Forza Horizon 4's Eliminator trailer, love this piece of music and never won't
Written by, Edvard Greig. It's from the Peer Gynt play wriiten by Henrik Ibsen in 1876. The song is, Peer Gynt - Suite No. 1, Op. 46 - IV. In the Hall of the Mountain King ruclips.net/video/ZAiEPUu0iO4/видео.html
It was my grandad's funeral today and this was his send off music... epic.... what a legend
RIP even tough this was a year ago
RIP :(
RIP what a legend
Awesome choice. 👌
RIP, what a banger for a funeral song though
it's like a roller coaster as it starts slow to dramatic and the genre is spot on
I think that’s the point I’m not to sure though
Appropriate for a park like Alton Towers.
@@MovieFan1912 appropriate for any theme park with fast rides
The anticipation of this song as you ride the monorail...
Joelimations ‘n’ Stuff I miss Alton towers and used to love hearing this tune on the monorail taking u into the grounds of the park
Joelimations ‘n’ Stuff they really need to give the monorail a good clean
Joeltoonz ikr 😂
Sooo true... I can’t wait to go this year though
Im going to alton towers in the summer.:)

This song forever burns into history as the Alton towers song
Absolutely love this theme, it really gives you that motivation/excitement to go on all the rides 😁

Reign of the mountain King I think
Hall of the Mountain king. But close enough
Lol

Oh, the nostalgia!!! Been over a decade since I last went there. Use to love it as a kid!

Reminds me of when I was a child...Happy days they were ☺

If you play this song backwards it is the smiler theme
Bull
1:43 me when school is on in four days and I haven’t done my homework
Four days. Amateur.
Is it just me who doesn’t do there homework because they don’t care
If you don’t get excited listening to this, are you even human
I’m lucky that there is only one Alton towers theme park in the world which is in England and I Live in Engaland
Me too
To be fair I do get excited whenever I hear this music and get tingles.
When you walk into class and you see on the board “HOMEWORK DUE TODAY!”
Banana Leader u are amazing 😂
When you steal a comment
All of the soundtracks are iconic
Me and my dad used to go to Alton towers every weekend 😂 it was fun
Cailinxox Cailinrose lucky
Does. Anyone. Not. Realise. This is not the ‘Alton Towers Theme Tune’ it is In The Hall of The Mountain King, a very famous composition.
Alton towers is so underrated its sad 😔
True
Loved hearing that in alton towers, miss it alot!
Bro I love alton towers by far the best theme park ever

British people: *screaming on the smiler intensifys*
I like Alton towers because there are rides for every age
me when i see my friend isn’t in the classroom 1:50
lol
This is giving me major throwbacks
Disneyland Paris: We are the best theme park in Europe
Alton Towers: Hold my beer
Alton towers New Years are the best
Has anyone realised that the smiler theme tune is similar to this theme tune
This song just suits adverts that are meant to give you excitement, it worked for Alton towers and it worked for Forza Horizon 4's Eliminator trailer, love this piece of music and never won't
This song makes me cry 24/6
We put this on it RE cus we’re doing tumo
🤔I know it weird for tumo blw I adore this song
This is a song in Aladdin Trouble called The Chase.
I don't know the song of this name! But my teacher in the early days was always saying this song's name and author.. Please remind me someone!!
TheDeadLinger In hall of the mountain king

In The Hall Of The Mountain King by Edvard Grieg that's the original.
