th13teen Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Looks like this year I will be going to Alton on the 31st October through to the 2nd November to therefore take advantage of both scarefest and fireworks! That causes a dilema because I always do something big for halloween, yet maybe I should just let the fans wanting more? Go off an enjoy fireworks instead!!!

Mitchada04 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The ERT line up for 2012 has been released. The list consists of:Sharkbait Reef by SEA LIFEOblivionHexHeave HoMarauders MayhemNemesisRunaway Mine TrainRitaAs far as I am aware this is the excact same line up as last year. I do wish they'd add the skyride though as getting from Rita to Nemesis is really annoying. Luke_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah thats exactly the same. Must've found a balance they like to keep then.Skyride they won't open early - it's costly to run, and also ERT is done so that people are spread out over the park by official opening, making people management so much easier.

th13teen Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Do we have any idea what make the 'Ice Age 4D' will be?Considering all previous 4D attractions have been standard glasses with a projected screen, I was wondering whether the attraction will have higher technology and actually have 3D more in the way of the Current 3D TV's do?I understand the expense of this however it creates a far better expereince and would therefore indicate a progression into the current world of technology!

Fred Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Stayed in Splash on monday night. My god, the hotels have improved considerably over the past few years. They're now absolutely astounding to be in - I'm incredibly impressed with all the recent investments, and both hotels now have a real up-to-date solid feel about them - like your money has been well spent.Would recommend anyone wanting to stay at hotels to definitely do it this year. They're utterly fantastic.(Only problem is, now rest of the hotels are so amazing, my nitpicking has turned to how the freebies soaps etc should be individually hotel themed, not towers themed ).

Stokesyboy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've been looking through some of the ride reviews on the AT website, wow, they are worded so wrong and some of the spelling mistakes are terrible!As I work in customer services and have to do comments for my company's website, we have to check all spelling mistakes and make sure it's worded well!You would expect AT to have had a look at it and correct the spelling mistakes!I've also emailed them and let them know! Wonder what they'll say... Probably nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was in conversation with Semantic over the same stuff about thorpe website years ago, and they stated they keep it the same because it's got a sense of realism about it. People who post cannot spell or cannot use grammar properly, and are usually overexcited and they like to just keep it like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 It just looks so tacky though!Half the time it's hard to read or written by a young child or a chav that doesn't know how to spell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yeah it looks awful. But I kind of understand where they're coming from. Instead of usual bland testimonials of "This ride was fun, and I recommend 100%" or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesyboy Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 It wound me up as I have to correct spellings and word stuff right before they go on a website, I'm sure AT use the same sort of system, It's not hard to do!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 When I first read these comments I thought you were on about the "official" content for the site, not comments made by the general public! Although I'd imagine the odd typo does occur. Spelling mistakes made by guests' reviews though makes it seem more personal and genuine, I can see why semantec have allowed it.

Liam T Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Personal I see no problem, as Sheepie said it sounds like your going on about the site itself but its just reviews, its peoples opinions and they get excited and just write any old rubbish down, what was you expecting, an essay?

Stokesyboy Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Anyone pick up the sun today and see the new Alton Towers map?Looks ok, but Sub Terra looks like a tin shed on there! Also in bottom corner by enterprise it's got *Under Construction*It also seems that the Nemesis entrance has moved... I highly doubt it but that what it looks like on the map!
