Stokesyboy Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 The pictures coming from Towers Nerd look pretty good! Think this will be the better attraction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy the Puppet Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 But now towers can see that they haven't over hyped ice age and it's turning out to get the most posotive feedback. thorpeparkjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Really cracking 4D this!The theming is really good for what it is, far more than I expected. The actual theatre looks great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 It is superb; really well executed and immersive effects, crisp visuals even with the cardboard glasses and a fun film. If I was going to be hyper critical I'd say it is a little repetitive even in such a short space of time (yeah, we get it, snot is wet) and could be edited a bit better to give a little more narrative and little less constant frantic action to pace it better. But really I think it is about as good as it could be, very much the stronger of Altons new attractions for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 How long is the film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 How long is the film?I've heard it's around 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Felt a bit less than that to me. Would guess it is 10 mins, plus a 5 min turnaround so a showing every 15 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah it's ok... Some of the effects are slightly out of time, but it's alright actually...Not sommat I'd do on every visit, but, least it makes that building's attraction actually viable for me, rather than past residents...

AstroDan Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 The TowersStreet Facebook has revealed that Alton Towers have a new 4D film for 2015 in the Ice Age theatre! Great news... the old one had done its time and this an unexpected new addition for the new season!  "Ice Age - The 4D Experience: No time for nuts!" featuring SCRAT! pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Fanboys seem to hate on Ice Age for some reason. I really like it; something a bit different to break up the nonstop rides, with decent effects and an amusing if not groundbreaking hacked down film. Good to see them keeping it fresh.

OldFarmerDean Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 2 years is enough for a 4d film in my opinion especially when you end up watching it several times in a year... And then for it to be there for a third year, and certainly was worrying about a 4th, so this news is very welcome; this news isn't exclusive, it just says on the 2015 map on the Alton Towers pullout in The Sun. The fact it uses a Scrat based short film is going to be amazing... The best bit about ice age tbh. And it's gonna be new, so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 So went yesterday... And was very disappointed to find that it's still the same old dawn of the dinosaurs version!! On the plus side the foam/snow and water effects seemes to be ridiculously overused compared to what I remember, got covered in the foam aha!
