  1. As discovered yesterday they have a blanket ban on filming on any ride or attraction. Can I film
  2. Exactly and as people discovered yesterday the parks website, maps and entrance T&C’s all state you can’t film or take photographs on any ride. Someone else on Twitter also found in Towers terms of entry you can’t take photographs or make videos for commercial gain, does a YouTube channel fall into that trap? https://www.altontowers.com/terms-and-conditions/
  3. Towers aren’t happy with a vlogger breaking the rules today https://mobile.twitter.com/altontowers/status/995692063390920704
  4. What’s Thorpe’s new fastrack system?
  5. Really disappointed to see the dragon gone.
  6. The park is closed on those days as they aren’t busy enough to be open.
  7. Because it’s right at the exit, people normally want to go round the park without bags so say we’ll get it on way out.
  8. And in her job role as the parks official ride tester she also announced it was the worlds scariest ride.
  9. Pleasure Beach have cut an hour off today’s hours as well. Earliest ride close was 7pm but now 6pm. Really poor showing from Pleasure Beach.
  10. Towers Social media not understanding when it’s wrong to be so blunt to a paying customer
  11. Merlin attempt to use The Smiler incident to save money on it’s tax bill but has request rejected Varney must be feeling the pressure if they are that desperate. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5565707/Alton-Towers-asks-TAX-CUT-profits-slump-Smiler-crash-Staffordshire-2015.html
  12. Still not replaced the bulb for that last green light either
  13. As already posted further up, Thorpe have built the expectations as being right up there. Customers will be expecting what the park have put out there, we shouldn’t have to filter out what’s fake news for PR and what’s reality. The PR artwork implies the trains were completely different This is the worlds scariest ride This is 15 out 10 on the scare scale
  14. What just a week and then never spoken of again or taken off after a week to provide the “power” to charge phones and then put back on?
  15. Good that one part of the PR appears to be true then.
  16. But Thorpe park have told us this is the scariest ride in the world, a 15 out of 10 on scare scale too. People will be expecting what they advertised
  17. Wow and this is the scariest ride in the world according to Merlin
  18. You get a member of staff who is with you and assists you as you go round the park. Your host takes you via the exit on rides and you get the front row seats on every ride, on Mazes you don’t wait and get near instant entry (within few mins)
  19. Wouldn’t be so sure on that, if they can cut staff to save money they will! Turnstiles at merge points automated RAP / fastrack entry etc
  20. All the PR for this has been fake, 15 out of 10 scare scale to worlds scariest ride. As said before if those claims are true then the rest of park will be like CBeebies land ?
  21. It’s amazing how they still find ideas for the worlds scariest ride, let’s just hope these “scream-o-meters” can convert laughter to battery power ?
  22. I’m still waiting for them to tack Vengeance on as a new ending
  23. No, Slammer is completely intact
  24. There is currently a film crew on site... photo courtsey of Theme Park Guide
  25. Is Rumba Rapids open today? It’s missing off the queue times
