I don't even know myself which one the original is! I do remember hearing that the organ in the outdoor soundtrack sounds very distant in case that helps to work it out.

This might actually be going to happen this winter provided all things go well as the original soundtrack has been acquired by the current management and is just waiting on licensing/installation.

There's a Channel 4 documentary airing on the 23rd looking behind the scenes at Alton Towers and at the launch of the Wicker Man: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/inside-alton-towers

Unfortunately that's probably the reason they've been moved, gets people to pay for a more expensive ticket

Had the same experience with the bag room a few weeks ago. Seemed to be down to a lack of staff as they moved one member of staff from platform to the bag room to speed things up and they were both working quickly.

I'll take 3! But in all seriousness, there's not much harm in selling this, if people with too much money want to buy them so be it, there won't be that many. The same people would just buy a VIP pass if they weren't limited availability.

Yup, if the fastrack isn't required for ride operation then it will usually only be in place on 'peak' days, hence cutting a member of staff.

He's not been moving for at least 2 months from what I've seen

The pianist is moving once again!

They're repainting the whole thing and reworking the track to make it a smooth and colourful ride... I wish

Taking the train is a fairly doable option (having done it myself). Take an early morning train from London Euston to Stoke-on-Trent, then catch the shuttle bus from there to Alton Towers. Do the reverse on the way back, I recommend booking a few weeks in advance as the train tickets are significantly cheaper, also travel on a weekend as weekday morning trains are very expensive. When I did it I was staying for a few days but I can't see why it couldn't be done for just a day (except being a bit tiring!) Hope this helps.

A new video has been posted...

Yep that's right for rides, although I believe it is possible to work in some other departments at 15, don't quote me on that though!

Buccaneer was testing today so might be opening soon if all goes well

The wording on the signage doesn't help the situation much either, I would take what it says to mean you can film as long as you are careful. ?‍♂️

We're on 1 now... ?‍♂️

Bit of a stretch but the same as the post above (didn't notice it originally) but Thorpe just put this on their Facebook. Could be a typo but that'd be quite the coincidence!

PBE has posted some off-ride footage of Tiger Rock and a walk around of the Land of the Tiger area, looks quite good, definitely an improvement on what was there before!

Didn't know that area was re-opening, will be nice to have something making use of all the seating in that area. I just hope it's not too far away from everything else to not get enough customers.

But just remember guys, it's better than nothing! ?

That looks like Planet Coaster overlayed onto Google Earth, quite a clever idea if it is!

If it's the same as last year the only catch was that you couldn't pick a specific day to go, only a selection of dates during the summer which then you get 2 tickets for a random date within the dates you selected.

Aw I really liked Pulled Meat Co. on the rare occasion it was open! Reasonable price for quite decent food, just a shame there wasn't indoor seating.

Desperados sponsorship probably ended
