February 17, 201411 yr comment_176686 Yes I agree but then there is a lot of trees for felling and tbh I don't think they'd be able to cut that many trees unless there was a purpose of something of actually felling them.
February 17, 201411 yr comment_176699 It could always be supposed to look like laser marks, as it's around Duel. Or maybe trees that can/can't be removed?
February 18, 201411 yr comment_176765 Lol. It's trees that can't be removed (see other picture where LOADS of trees have gone). And that ghost is from the scarefest duel stuff they did. TowersNerd were taking the mickey when they posted this stuff y'know!!
February 26, 201411 yr comment_177285 The 2014 ERT lineup has been revealed as: - Nemesis - Oblivion - Runaway Mine Train - Duel - Blade - Marauders Mayhem - Heave Ho - Sharkbait Reef https://twitter.com/altontowers/status/438629520514379776/photo/1
February 26, 201411 yr comment_177289 It never left, was open for ERT last year too (once Smiler had opened)...
February 26, 201411 yr comment_177291 I thought it was th13teen that had ERT last year not blivvy, certainly did in june after Smiler opened when I went.
February 26, 201411 yr comment_177293 Was open for it in August, probs on and off then for some reason... Thirteen stopped at some point since it never could run with barely anyone going there (probs because everyone went to Smiler)...
February 26, 201411 yr comment_177307 The 2014 ERT lineup has been revealed as: - Nemesis - Oblivion - Runaway Mine Train - Duel - Blade - Marauders Mayhem - Heave Ho - Sharkbait Reef https://twitter.com/altontowers/status/438629520514379776/photo/1 I could SERIOUSLY go for some ERT on The Smiler!
February 26, 201411 yr comment_177313 Oblivion was removed from ERT for most of last season, but occasionally opened. As it was, Nemesis was the only thrill ride available for most of the year... Great to see Oblivion back on. Can nip on that at the start of the day and then join the throng for The Smiler!Hopefully they will still be employing the "entrance" for ERT next to Battle Galleons - I felt this worked much better than the awkward 'show your pass' procedure that was in place during 2012, anyway...!
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177509 Well this happened... Alton Have taken the liberty to put a large black fence around this. Most think because of 'elf 'n' Safety.
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177512 Health and safety gone mad! Does Health and safety go mad? Or is it the park knee jerking to some report it may have got somewhere along the line. A caution uneven step sign would have been more then adequate but for the park to just cordone it off with an ugly metal fence.. hmmm.
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177514 This is just ridiculous, Merlin are ruining this picturesque park by more stupid over safety measures. This doesn't just mean magical views there, but also put more pointless limitations on to our attractiones.
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177516 This sums up my opinion That looks pretty poor tbh. Thing is where does it stop? The lake is still open for morons to walk in to without looking - should that be fenced off too?
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177518 That pic actually shows WHY it's been fenced off, the state of the steps there are in no fit purpose for anyone to use that walkway because of the height difference between it and the path... That of course doesn't mean the fence is ugly as sin... Are Towers allowed to touch up things like this I wonder? Or is it just a case of a dire fence being cheaper than replacing the stonework?
March 2, 201411 yr comment_177525 I'm sure in a few years, they might 'renovate' & 'restore' the steps, although I'm not sure they are allowed to remove them and replace them?
March 3, 201411 yr comment_177558 I can understand why they have done this in all honesty the steps have worn away, the concrete looks so worn away.
March 3, 201411 yr comment_177571 Yep, I'm sure it's because the steps need to be protected from any further erosion... not the nicest fence put around them, mind you...
March 3, 201411 yr comment_177578 This is just ridiculous, Merlin are ruining this picturesque park by more stupid over safety measures. This doesn't just mean magical views there, but also put more pointless limitations on to our attractiones. P.S there's a petition online to remove this monstrosity seen above. I recommend signing it. https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/alton-towers-stop-ruining-the-landscape-of-this-beautiful-park#share Matt that isn't a monstrosity, its mildly ugly, but you can see the erosion of the steps itis quite dangerous sure, I liked walking on the thing, but it isnt the end of the world. Plus this is a monstrosity... I mean this is taking it too far... not a fence covering a eroded pathway.
