I used to love the screaming heads, used to make me laugh every single time I heard it, as a kid I’d be doing impressions of it on the long drive home 😂
As an oldster, I was there when the original Haunted House ride opened with Gloomy Wood. I even remember Doom & Sons etc as a kid and first visiting the towers. Dual was a poor, cheap and naff upgrade to try to ring more life out of the Haunted House many years after it was past its best. Seeing it now as The Haunted Manor and Emily, I can honestly say its back up there, as good as it was when it first began to scare visitors. Its the sheer size and time on the ride, the scale of it. You will always see something spooky and need to ride a few more times to see it all. That is what the original was like. And it was lovely to see the area busy and popular again. Alton Towers should have done a good retheme on this ride years ago, at least they have finally spent the money and brought it back up to its original level for a whole new generation of young people to enjoy. I may even visit myself, just to see it one more time before I get too old to manage.....hehehe...
really impressive how this was only done in a few months, would’ve convinced me if it took even a year or two!! shoulda rode this on my visit on Saturday…
I'm really enjoy the Alton manor the detail is incredible I loved the theming and the story line all we need front Alton towers making it perfect now is a new more thrilling coaster , love your videos Dan
I liked what they came up with personally and it's obviously a vast improvement on what Duel became towards the end of its life. The other side of me though wishes they'd have spent another 5-10m on it and made it a world class dark ride. Still overall a solid 7.5/10.
Dan I have a challenge for you: Go to paultons park and go straight on the log flume but you can only dry if by going on roller coasters me and my friend are doing it for my birthday wich will be fun
Went on this for the 1st time with my 4 year old nephew. He then asked to ride it another 7 times during the weekend. Amazing ride. Not too scary. Our ride also came to a complete stop in the middle of the mirror scene, that was creepy with Emily sat in "my cart" just to my right. Defo agree with the 9/10 score, Amazing ride
i feel like the ride in the all day challenge is gunna be rita because in dans stream where he built rita but better he said if he did another all day challenge it would most likely be rita
All Day Challenge, since Dan said it will be controversial coaster. I think the coaster for the All Day Challenge is possibly Shockwave as it’s quite a rough coaster, Spinball whizzer because the music for both the coaster and the all day challenge are quite game like and also Spinball feels quite out of place, I could possibly say Smiler as many people hate it because its rough and jolty whereas with many of the GPs seems to say its their ‘favourite coaster in the world’. Could be Hero because we love how bad this coaster is. Grand National, Big One, Revolution, Infusion are equally rough. Idk what coaster could it be, I’m guessing the coaster for the All Day Challenge is probably in Blackpool as there is quite a lot of controversial coasters.
Im not expecting actors to be they all the time but i truly hope they are for scarefest the wickermen actors returning for scarefest would also be good
I wasn't a huge fan of it. The lighting was better, but the set pieces and props were a huge downgrade. The trommel bit used to be a cool stone face with the glowing eyes, now it's just a very generic looking fireplace. The Dinging Hall is a bit too bright as you can see the mirrors, and the Big Ddmons are replaced by a projection which is nowhere near as impressive, and they could've fitted into the story really well as it mentions that Emily is Possessed by Demons, so maybe it could've been the Drmons that Possessed her emerging from her. The Giant spider is a bit goofy looking with the glowing eyes, IMO they should've just left it as it was. The mirror corridor if great, but I hear its quite unreliable. The Hide N Seek scene wasn't good personally. I hear the sets from Duel are still there and untouched, so maybe they can replace the zombies in the windows with something else, maybe like Giant Fingers from the original as if she's trying to grab you. The Screamkng heads were meh, not a fan of the new heads as they look pretty boring and not as detailed as the original ones aside from the last one breathing smoke, that and no 'NNNNYYYYEEEAAAAHHHH!!' The Garden scene was one big downgrade personally. It feels pretty empty in there, and the dolls aren't as anywhere near scary as the undertaker, the Lunatic that would laugh at you, and the Coloumn creature, but the new effect that replaced the Grim Reaper is great!! The final was okay, the only thing I really liked was the final scare. The area and outdoor queue though is phenomenal!! So, 5/10.
@@DigitalDan yeah, I think they shouldvs left a lot of the original props but just repaint them or give them TLC. Unfortunately this isn't possible since nearly all of Duel/The Haunted house were sent to the skips, including the old monsters and ghouls :(
@@DigitalDan yes, can't wait! I once tried to do oblivion all day but failed after about 3 hours because of the temptation of riding smiler! I predict Hero, Shockwave, Galactica or Spinball Whizzer for the all day challenge
Sloppy mistake in the preshow. 'Everyone in the house Vanished, that is except for the daughter Emily who remains unaccounted for to this very day! " Er... Hmmm so they just mean everyone vanished 😂 perhaps marketing were allowed to think they were creatives, i think they let them do the graffitti too rather than hire scenic artists.
I have the annual pass and go to towers a lot nemesis was the best ride Rita is underrated and , don't kill me, duel was better than curse and I ye 13 is 💩💩💩
The dark areasare there because the ride isn't actually finished and they're is going to be things going on in the dark areas at some time in the future
Dan is one of those youtubers which I could watch for hours without getting bored
I used to love the screaming heads, used to make me laugh every single time I heard it, as a kid I’d be doing impressions of it on the long drive home 😂
Excited for the all day challenge! Good vid as always Dan
Thank you!! Hope you enjoy the challenge when it releases! 👀

Great vid! It may be quite a short video, but could you make a vid on what you think the theme could be for Exodus?
Thank you! I’ll definitely make a video on the new coaster at Thorpe very soon! 👍🏻
Emily's head at the end was amazing
Dan I have a challenge for you: Go to paultons park and go straight on the log flume but you can only dry if by going on roller coasters me and my friend are doing it for my birthday wich will be fun
I would love there to be a creepy walk through ride to go along with this to have a really impressive themed area 🤔
I'm not watching most of this to avoid spoilers but thank you for creating content like this keep up the good work!
No worries!! It’s so good you’ll love it! 🙌🏻

I'm going to Alton Towers in July and can't wait to try this ride out!
Have an amazing time!
Alton manor on opening day: very good everything worked!
Alton manor when i went on it last weekend: I dont know how to function properly
I got the chance to do 2 night rides on this and the atmosphere was amazing, can’t wait to do it again in scarefest.
How did you do night rides on it? Towers closed at 4pm lol
@Laur S if you work there staff got a chance to do it a Monday after opening weekend at night.
I CAN'T WAIT TO RIDE IT
It's always alright to say sod you Derren Brown.
Top review, top content dude
True 😂😂, thank you!! 🙏🏻
another great video you are soo funny
Thank you!! 😊
When you look back at the first video about the Alton manor I KINDA predicted it would happen…. Or just a very lucky guess😐
Also first to like 🎉🎉
The first time I rode it, we broke down under Emily Alton at the end, so we were sat under it with suspenseful music playing for about 5 minutes
The first time I was on it, we stopped inside the trommel tunnel for a few mins 😭
I rode it yesterday and saw you on the smiler it’s deffo the best in the country
Ayy nice one hope you had a good time!! And agreed 😊
Woa guys today Dan explained his honest opinion on the new ride at Alton towers
I really did 😱😱😱😱
Love the town center dan ☠️👻
Dan can you have a refurbishment 😂😂
Yes
Are you going on any parks in another country this year? Other than france
Heading to Sweden and the Netherlands next month along with Spain at some point in the future too!
@@DigitalDan cool
At lest this ride is working and that very rare at the moment at Alton Towers
i feel like the ride in the all day challenge is gunna be rita because in dans stream where he built rita but better he said if he did another all day challenge it would most likely be rita

Could be Vampire
@blank3078 Colossus won't be open until like the end of May or June. Colossus is missing part of the tracks unless Dan goes on it and flies off
Find out on Saturday! 👀
@@DigitalDan your content is really good 👍
Where in the ride is the flume duck? Ive still not managed to spot it lol
After the garden scene and after entering the dolls house, it’s on your right :)
Im not expecting actors to be they all the time but i truly hope they are for scarefest the wickermen actors returning for scarefest would also be good
Hi Dan! Should i realese a backstory video of emily?
I'm praying for you if the all day challenge is the grand national or infusion!!! and if its Rita, I'm so sorry
Find out on Saturday! 👀
Unless it’s Thorpe park it be 10 out of 10
You signed my cards on opening day.
It feels illegal to be this early
No ride will ever beat the sky ride tho 😂

That’s completely fair! I feel like there’s definitely a lot of spots that could be improved, however I think it’s still a huge upgrade from Duel! 🙌🏻

I be the all day challenge will be Colossus or something
Why does he have a Smiler stamp looking thing on his hand
I am one of the ministry of joy
Rita is the all dayer you say?! how ironic
I enjoyed it but miss don’t touch your blaster
New ? It's like a month old
Rita is the best Dark Ride at Alton Towers
The spoilers are real guys
Gonna be Hero all day!
Find out on Saturday! 👀
