A good fireworks show doesn’t detract from the fact that the park has been shocking this year, with ride breakdown, reliability, not enough staff and extortion in food and drink prices. Truly hope 2025 is an improvement
@davesteele6154 Not really, yeah the event was nice but definitely doesn't take away from the fact the operations this year were absolute 💩. Multiple rides closed at open, during the day and often going down
The fireworks are still world class. Yes Alton did a terrible job this year and they were certainly one of, or if not the worst park for availability on the globe. But the fireworks are completely seperate to that. They were world class and helped make people sure next season should be a good one. There were a major amount of negativas, but there were positives, such as the fireworks, nemesis opening, single rider queues, referbishments to the smiler being prominent (painting), etc. Scarefest had a pretty good lineup of mazes this year too.
I actually cried watching this, I’ve been housebound due to severe chronic illness for 2 years. I’m just so glad channels like this give people like me a way to see the world. This truly looked like a nemesis adoring, bonfire night loving enthusiast’s dream!
It’s why being a fan of Alton Towers can be so frustrating - you see what they’re capable of. Incredible events like that and yet not one really good coffee venue 🤷♂️ Here’s to a better 2025 and well done on the fireworks events. Shawn and Charlotte, thanks for capturing it all so we don’t need to brave the crowds ourselves! 🎉
lol love seeing the guards and security getting into it on the stage lol at first very serious with hands behind back then hands in the air and groovin hehehehe. GOOD ON THEM.
We saw you on Hex on Sunday. Made my kid's day! Glad you enjoyed the fireworks. I thought they were stunning! I love it when they have a really good theme and storyline.
Hey Shawn Just wanna say ‘thanks’ from stopping and chatting to my family and myself at AT on Sunday afternoon… You came across as a absolute lovely and genuine bloke and it was a pleasure to have bumped into you… I also bumped into Dan (from the other channel) and he was also a delightful and excitable fellow… Big you’ve to your self and the entire Community Roll on 2025 Rob
Thank you so much Shawn and Charlotte. What an awesome show. Fireworks, lasers, music and actors. Loved every minute of it, got to do it next year guys. Thank you again both. Great video.!!
I know there have been some issues with ride reliability this year at Towers but that fireworks display makes up for everything that has gone wrong at the park this year. It was absolutely perfect.
I attended tonight WOW what a show, I can honestly say one of the best firework displays I have ever seen. Good job to Alton Towers it's made my season pass worth it after all the poor operations this year
Congratulations on reaching 400k! you guys deserve millions! It was so nice to see you again on saturday left of the expo down that path and having a photo. you guys r the nicest people ever its always so good seeing you! Loving the vlogs like always, The BEST
Amazing video Shawn and Charlotte Sanbrooke from Alton Towers for the final weekend of the 2024 season! In this vlog we check out the final setup for the fireworks spectacular, keep the good videos coming on the channel, Charlotte and Shawn Sanbrooke, big thumbs as well. 😀😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like that they have evolved the Phalanx brand beyond the military. It reminds me a bit of the Umbrella Corporation now from Resident Evil series, a shady all encompassing corporate entity that will happily put lives in danger if it keeps the shareholders happy. :)
the whole aesthetic of the phalanx expo really gives me galactica vibes! alton towers are surely missing a trick if they aren't planning to retheme it.. fingers crossed!
@ThemeParkWorldwide amazing! congrats on 400k!!! i’ve been watching since i was about 10 and i’m now nearly 21 and it’s been incredible to see you grow over the years 🥳
This was my 1st ever time going during the fireworks (after always wanting to go see them) and i absolutely loved it,, shame i didnt manage to see you two at all during it as would have loved to come say Hi, Was a bit disappointed 13 wasn't open at all on the day as would have loved to ride especially in the dark (but i understand it cant really run when its cold and it was quite cold yesterday), other wise it was a fantastic day out and I'm defiantly going to go back each year now for the fireworks
Love watching your vlogs! You guys are fantastic and I don’t think people always know how much work must go into these videos! Bringing lots of joy and your vlogs help get me through a boring working day from home chained to my desk 😂
Fireworks at towers always look awesome, can’t see the park not retheming Galactica at this point just seems so out of place and neglected! Great vlog guys
Fireworks were awsome but my favourite show is still 2019. We've had an awsome time at alton towers all year, every time we have been its been fantastic
🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎡🎢🎢🎠🎠🎪 This video looks absolutely cool, it’s no secret that the Fireworks Spectacular is always the main highlight of the operating season at Alton Towers Resort. Very clever of them to theme this year’s show around the Phalanx Expo. I bet that you and Charlotte had a wonderful time seeing the fireworks in action. 😊😊😃😃😃👍🏻👍🏻
They really shoulda had Nemmie's eye on the screen when she's battling the spacecraft. Or after she wins with a big victory roar/cry, that would've been cool. Bloody good show though, well done Alton.
how lucky are you both to be there in person, i loved this whole video, it showed such excitement and i felt as if i were there; which i know it is better in real life, thank you for this!!!!
Was there yesterday and we went on nemesis 4 times during the show, but we actually could see some fireworks while in nemesis’s queue and while we were on the ride
Fantastic video as always. I felt like the whole premise of the show was moving towards teasing the galactic retheme for next year (to theme it similar to what was originally intended) but due to some of the budget cuts it’s no longer going to happen but it was to late to make major show changes. So the submit to the spin was the big reveal instead.
Got to meet you that day because my mum spotted you and dragged me across the neck, thought it was embarrassing but half an hour later we saw you surrounded by people with one person having a hoodie with you two on it and him😂 was a great day
@@user927-w3h Let's see what happens. Merlin Magic Making is still a thing, however cuts are being made to try and keep the magic alive. But it's hard to do that in todays economic climate.
I was there in ‘94 for the Nemesis theme but couldn’t make it this year so thank you for this and the detailed video. Hope you enjoy it without the camera for the next two nights. Cheers ❤️.
The announcement has to be about toxicator, notice it said ‘fully funktional’ on the board, which wouldn’t just be a spelling error. Toxicator is where funk’n’fly is, and it says ‘funk’ and ‘funky’ several times on the board in towers street.
Just seen the display tonight 2nd night i wouldn't change a thing about the display it was the best display ive ever seen and ive seen them all since 2015 it left me completely speechless
@@ThemeParkWorldwideit certainly was I was front and centre of the public area I have a feeling it won't be the last we see of John Dalton and the phalanx I think there may be a part 2 of the show to come in 2025
100% a hint at a Galactica re theme! I think they could actually create a really good pre show for Galactica if they did go down the re theme route. theres enough space to build a pre show building before entering the station. maybe somehow build some onboard audio and special effects around the ride area like they've done with nemesis. They have that empty tunnel right at the start where they could put projections to build on the story.
Looking forward for project ocean in 2025🎉🎉 ps:love your videos and I hope to see you next season for towers and one last thing don't stop and keep on riding😁
Someone said they were bringing back the red streams with lights and I got so excited. I thought they were going to be putting leds in the water to make it look red….. No it was just shining a big light at night on one working stream :/ Nemesis looks like a construction site without them, they need to bring them back!
Just read that Merlin are making the Magic Making Team redundant just before Christmas im favour of 'outsourcing' theming production. And with that, RIP Alton Towers. It's been poor for a while but it's just a matter of time now until it goes down the drain completely. We'll all have the memories. Me - I'm an old bugger. My time was the early - mid 90's with Beast, Thunder Looper, Log Flume, Rapids, Mouse, 1001 Nights, Black Hole, Corkscrew, Doom & Sons and the then brand new Oblivion and Nemesis. But whatever your era, hang onto those good time memories cos I think the park is being prepped for winding up.
Amazing fireworks display I like Alton towers theme park song in there I really wanted to go it’s shame I had Covid again maybe next year if u still doing this channel
looked an excellent display as always , last time i went for fireworks was in the early 90's they even had lazers back then.Its a real shame that they dont do late night riding at other times of the year considering how much lighting they have around the rides !
Shawn, your thoughts on all on-site Merlin Magic Making dept being made redundant at Towers? That can’t be a good thing, considering the season they’ve had and the direction of the park as a whole…
Watching the vlog now!! Been to see Paddington in Peru at my local cineworld today…mainly to get out the house!! On another note the Christmas plushies are starting to come down from the loft this weekend
What an incredible show 😍 Check out our full video of the fireworks show here 👉 ruclips.net/video/tOttCkCNS6M/видео.htmlsi=Gpo1PJD-pfl5zP0Z
I hope you have a fantastic time.The colours and the live music and the fireworks.Did anyone else attend this event.

The park is doomed, it’s an absolute mess.

Mate that fireworks display made up for a bad year. They were world class

I've seen a lot of fireworks in my life, but this is far and away the best example of storytelling with pyrotechnics that I've ever seen.
It’s incredible

@ThemeParkWorldwide amazing! congrats on 400k!!! i’ve been watching since i was about 10 and i’m now nearly 21 and it’s been incredible to see you grow over the years 🥳
The whole Nemesis site looks so good at night also the waterfall sounds awesome when you go past it . Bring on 2025 for the new ride
It was world class Shawn. Absolutely amazing. I didn’t think 2021 could be beat but tonight they did it😊
It was amazing!
We saw it on night 2 and it was amazing. Definitely a highlight of our Alton towers trips from this year.
Incredible

Thank you so much!
Fireworks were awsome but my favourite show is still 2019. We've had an awsome time at alton towers all year, every time we have been its been fantastic
We have been here since Friday seen you twice 😂. How amazing is the last firework section to the alton towers theme song. It was just unbelievable 🎆
Incredible
That was absolutely phenomenal! Living in Australia we rarely get displays like that! You guys are so very lucky!
It was incredible

It was so lovely to meet you both 😌 from your fan Christine
I was there Friday Shawn , the show was amazing & loved the teaser at the end
Thanks for the very well filmed display from last night! Sad I missed out on going this year but will try for 2025 🎉
Thank you!

Was there yesterday and we went on nemesis 4 times during the show, but we actually could see some fireworks while in nemesis’s queue and while we were on the ride
Amazing!
Fireworks always looks so amazing at towers. I’d love to go one day!
Favourite show was 40th anniversary but this looks like it could top that... Seeing it tomorrow cant wait
great seeing you again shawn thank you for the picture (i was the really tall person in the voltron hoodie)
Great to see you!
congrats on 400k u totally deserve it
Thank you!
fair play AT! this show made the london NYE firework things look like a kiddy show!
i love how john wardly was in the little clip of the story
Absolutely wonderful 😍🎆!
“My name is Justin, and I’m Phalanx!”
I REALY WANTED TO GO AND SEE THE FIREWORKS MY SELF BUT THE FIREWORKS YOU WAS ABLE TO SEE WAS SO COO!
It was amazing!

Great to see you!
Yeah, we’re definitely getting a Galactica retheme along with this new ride, it’s imminent isn’t it? Can’t wait for what’s in store for 2025!
I don’t think so, they’re legit just teasing thusys lol
@@ThomasDevOnline they literally said "we are gonna explore the universe"
@@user927-w3h They didn't ever say "Galactica is getting a re-theme' though, did they? ;) I think they're legit just teasing
@@ThomasDevOnline i just found out merlin magic making got fired, so yeah i agree now :(

Thank you!
me and my friends were there!!!! we took pics w u, thank u for that
Great to see you!
No other theme park does fireworks like alton towers
Theme of the fireworks was cool it made me think of a videogame soundtrack or a pinball
Amazing!
Saw you tonight Shawn, you looked like you’d had a few beers, enjoying the awesome display for the second time 🍻
It was an amazing show!
Did you both see what they did by adding the nemesis theme into the end of the hall of the mountain king very clever 🎉
Amazing!

It was amazing!
I went here and it was amazing
Hi there I have just been watching your video It was so good.
I go to the fire works every year in Alton tower in fact I am there right now I arrived on Thursday and recommend to do all the rides in the dark
It’s incredible
100% a hint at a Galactica re theme! I think they could actually create a really good pre show for Galactica if they did go down the re theme route. theres enough space to build a pre show building before entering the station. maybe somehow build some onboard audio and special effects around the ride area like they've done with nemesis.

Good show but 2022 was my all time fave the soundtrack was fantastic
Just read that Merlin are making the Magic Making Team redundant just before Christmas im favour of 'outsourcing' theming production.
And with that, RIP Alton Towers.
It's been poor for a while but it's just a matter of time now until it goes down the drain completely.

Sadly so. I’ll be filming a video on this in the next few days!
Amazing fireworks display I like Alton towers theme park song in there I really wanted to go it’s shame I had Covid again maybe next year if u still doing this channel
Nice cameo by a Mr Wardley at 25:50
Today my little brother in the blue t-shirt came up to you near Galatica! 🤣
Looking forward for the fireworks display and my last night ride on nemesis the last one of the season
i seen you today my mum said she seen you filming wickerman while i was on it
Congratulations on the 400k
Thank you!
400,000 subscribers.

Towers Fireworks were loud this year, heard them in our village 🎆🎆
Amazing!
Watching the vlog now!! Been to see Paddington in Peru at my local cineworld today…mainly to get out the house!! On another note the Christmas plushies are starting to come down from the loft this weekend
Thanks for watching!
Hi guys. We went to see the fireworks on Sunday, totally amazing show. Please confirm it was John wardley who shows up in the pre show video.
It was indeed!
That was amazing. I’ve never been to fireworks got to go next year . Maybe stay in the hotel if I can 😊
It’s a beautiful show
So pleased to see AT investing additional resources into the fireworks… they certainly didn’t spend it on the band that’s for sure 😂
I wish they bought the dj :)
@@mikesbrickadventures the band made a very nice change to the relentless dj
@CoasterRob either way it's great to have pre show entertainment:)
We really enjoyed it!
Brilliant vlog Christmas is coming
It sure is!
Awesome fireworks show, did they not add drones last year? Still love your vlogs so much xx
No drones this year, but it was awesome
Awesome Video Guys 😄😄
Thank you!
Great video!
Great Video Shawn And Charlotte 😊.
Thanks!
Further teasing for the new topspin ride and a potential re-theming of Galactica (maybe to something named akin to AIR)? Interesting.
Looking forward to the new ride!
That was awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I saw you at Alton towers, talking to fans
i need to hear your opinion on all of merlin magic making being made redundant. because that spells the end of all this 'world class theming'
I’ll be sharing a video this week
Just wait till we get the ministry of joy story going once we get a smiler flat ride
congrats on 400k!!
Thank you!
There's some new audio in galactica's station that heavily hints towards a phalanx takeover so i think its a given at this point
