June 5, 200916 yr comment_58791 For some strange reason, I think the titles of these topics have got muddled. This topic's title says AT News but discussion is about Colossus photo discounts.^^
June 5, 200916 yr comment_58793 We were talking about the Alton Towers ride photo price increases, and we somehow ended up here. Anyway, even if you guys say there aren't discounts at Thorpe I can absolutely promise and guarantee to you that an annual pass gets you a discount at Alton Towers.
June 6, 200916 yr comment_58829 AP does get ur photo discounts - I know for a factonly for a photo pass or for any single photo aswell?
June 7, 200916 yr comment_59146 only for a photo pass or for any single photo aswell?You should get it for a single photo as well. Even if you don't, there's no harm in asking the person selling them.
July 1, 200916 yr comment_62099 According to TTF, Hex, Duel and Log Flume Unplugged were closed on Tuesday due to storm damage. Duel is also still closed because of a thunder strike to the building.
July 3, 200916 yr comment_62205 Duel has now re-opened, however a section of the X-Sector path was destroyed and work is being carried out on it.
July 13, 200916 yr comment_63250 Can anyone tell me what happened to the Cred Street Carousel? Is it still at the park in storage or did it get taken away?
July 13, 200916 yr comment_63253 I think it was just repainted and rethemed, and is still in the same area ( now cloud cuckoo land)its called gallopers carousel
July 13, 200916 yr comment_63293 I think it was just repainted and rethemed, and is still in the same area ( now cloud cuckoo land)its called gallopers carouselNo, Cred St. Carousel was a Double Decker carousel removed from the park in either 2004 or 2005, I think. However I'm unsure as to where it is now.
July 15, 200916 yr comment_63367 That's right, a double decker (sorry Gumboy, I should've been more clear).Here it is in action:
July 30, 200916 yr comment_65028 Anyone read this? From official website:22/05/2009Shoe should be so lucky!Alton Towers Resort introduces shoe ban to outsmart child cheatsAhead of half-term next week, the UK’s favourite destination for families has announced it is banning children from wearing high heels and is planning to introduce airport-style scanners for some of its more extreme rides following a spate of child cheats who don’t make the height requirements.The Alton Towers Resort, whose ground-breaking rollercoasters have either a 1.2m or 1.4m height restriction has been faced with a number of youngster’s attempting to trick their way on to the rides, not just by the old favourite of standing on tip-toes, but by wearing high heels, multiple socks and even attempting to fill their shoes with items. Since the Theme Park re-opened in March, one vertically-challenged youngster was even found to have attached a pair of flip-flops to his trainers with masking tape in a bid to make the grade, whilst a young girl appeared to have swapped shoes with her mother in order to make the 1.4 metre height restriction.From Saturday 23rd of May, high-heels of more than an inch will be banned and the Resort is currently looking to purchase shoe x-ray scanners similar to those now used in airports across the UK to speed up the checks on some of its bigger rides such as Oblivion and Nemesis. Morwenna Angove, Sales and Marketing Director at the Alton Towers Resort said ‘Children arrive at the Resort and are understandably full of excitement at the prospect of riding our groundbreaking rollercoasters, so we of course understand the disappointment they feel when they are measured and are too short to ride. However, our height restrictions are in place to ensure the health and safety of all our guests, so whilst this ban may appear extreme, we are confident it will reduce the number of desperate attempts to gain a cm or two!’.
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75091 I recently went to Alton towers in this half-term, and look at the size of SW6's first drop! The coaster construction is looking very nice indeed!
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75092 SW6 really is incredibly exciting, there are "Wraiths" running loose around the area, scaring people, getting people in the mood and setting the tone of the ride, I can't wait :)Thanks for the picture
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75095 It certainly is looking amazing!Hopefully I will manage to do a trip next season to go to Alton Towers and ride "SW6"
November 13, 200915 yr comment_76388 Hmm, looks like there's going to be some roadworks going on near the park, resulting in some road closures.More information: http://www.altontowers.com/plan-your-visit/how-to-find-us/

November 22, 200915 yr comment_77060 The planning application to rebuild the Skyride station in Cloud Cuckoo Land has now been submitted. It's in the same style before, which to be honest I'm quite happy about.
November 24, 200915 yr comment_77232 Publicity Stunt Alert- As part of SW6's marketing drive, Alton Towers have announced Tony Adkins as their new security consultant.Mr. Adkins, who has previously been seen as Simon Cowell's bodyguard on shows such as X Factor, will be responsible for directing and providing advice to the park's own in house security team.The announcement goes on to mention that interest in the new addition to the park "is so intense that theme park bosses felt it necessary to appoint somebody who has experience of dealing with aggressive fans. "Morwenna Angove, Sales and Marketing Director at the Alton Towers Resort says: “There is a die-hard fan base out there dedicated to the discovery of information about the new ride and the Resort is desperately trying to keep it under wraps. We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Tony, whose previous experience of working in a celebrity environment will stand him in good stead to deal with our superfans.”
November 24, 200915 yr comment_77237 Jebus that stinks :)So desperate to keep it under wraps that the groundwork, station and some track were installed during the season.Mind you, I did like the "Top Secret" video stuff.
