May 2, 201411 yr comment_182450 Wow and I thought Thorpe had tight planning permissions But it does look pretty good tbh. If they actually turn out like those picture then it'll be a great addition to the park.
May 2, 201411 yr comment_182452 Looks brilliant IMO Hoping the final result looks as nice as those pictures, this appears to be a fantastic place to stay over at in towers and a great alternative to the other hotels. Definitely more excited by this than CBeebies land ()

May 2, 201411 yr comment_182456 Fantastic concept art. I hope the final outcome will be as interesting and detailed as the pictures show.
May 3, 201411 yr comment_182457 So the hobbit houses are a no-go? Have I missed something....? I thought they resubmitted those plans?
May 3, 201411 yr comment_182461 So the hobbit houses are a no-go? Have I missed something....? I thought they resubmitted those plans? They didn't resubmit them, they altered them. There's still lodge houses (less of them), but then there's also the treehouses. The lodges do seem less Hobbit-like though.
May 3, 201411 yr comment_182465 Probably cheaper to build 'proper' buildings really... Not too fussed over the 'normal' lodge building over hobbit holes tbh...
May 3, 201411 yr comment_182467 Probably cheaper to build 'proper' buildings really... ...or are these elaborately clad shipping containers?!
August 7, 201411 yr comment_188204 On Alton Towers snapchat they have been putting pictures of a preview building of the Enchanted Village thats opening next year. I will put pictures up later if I have time. I don't think anyone else has said about this yet, I can't see it anywhere.
August 8, 201411 yr comment_188228 Couple of pictures from inside the preview room, as uploaded by Towers' Facebook... There's more, but they more show the exterior.
August 8, 201411 yr comment_188232 Looks a wee bit cramped, though probably no more than the normal hotel rooms are to be fair to it... S'ok, but nothing special tbh...
August 8, 201411 yr comment_188235 Alton Towers Register your interest now to be the first to hear more about the new distinctive short breaks coming to Alton Towers Resort in 2015.http://www.altontowers.com/hotels/enchanted-village/Please note - the lodge at the Theme Park is a sneak preview of the finished lodges, we don't want to give away all of the surprises just yet....
August 8, 201411 yr comment_188238 Couple of pictures from inside the preview room, as uploaded by Towers' Facebook... LOG CUSHIONS?! That's adorable! I'm sold.
August 8, 201411 yr comment_188246 Not bad, not bad at all Can't say I'm blown away by it, but then this only the showcase version. Looks rather simplistic ATM, but hopefully we'll see ore details when they're actually finished.
August 8, 201411 yr comment_188252 They're missing a couple of items. Other than that, they're pretty much complete. These were meant to be entry level (so cheaper than Splash) when planned so don't expect the earth - but in my personal view they're better than Splash!
November 6, 201410 yr comment_196818 Thought I saw some construction pics of this pop up on my facebook the other day but can't seem to see them now, did I imagine it or has anyone else seen any progress? Also, competition here to stay in the Enchanted Village when it opens.
November 24, 201410 yr comment_197828 A nice aerial photo of the construction site as it stands, from Tatenhill Aviation's Facebook...
November 24, 201410 yr comment_197840 Yep. You guessed it! It's as if Center Parcs is coming to Alton!
November 25, 201410 yr comment_197849 Have you been to centre parcs? It's not like that. If it was going to be like a centre parcs that would be great, especially if it included a worthwhile pool complex rather than splash, but it isn't. That pic shows how crammed in these will be compared to the feeling of solitude you get in a Centre Parcs villa. Coupled with the lack of amenities being developed alongside the accommodation, I don't really get what they are trying to achieve. It seems to fall somewhere between a hotel and a CP resort, and I can see it ending up with the advantages of neither.
November 25, 201410 yr comment_197856 Plus Center Parcs is great because you ride your bike everywhere and the sites are huge, whereas this will be small, compact, and you could walk the distance in a few minutes! I think I'd rather visit the AT Hotel again than stay in a lodge, they look so small!
December 1, 201410 yr comment_198421 Construction update from TowersStreet I like the little quirky design bits like the roof, but them all being so close to each other and being identical it takes away from it a little bit, hopefully they will appear more individual somehow when they are complete.
December 1, 201410 yr comment_198422 Looks average to me, and they are a bit close together. Also, they look absolutely nothing like the concept art (although I know they aren't finished yet).
December 2, 201410 yr comment_198439 Looks average to me, and they are a bit close together. Also, they look absolutely nothing like the concept art (although I know they aren't finished yet). They are exactly the same as the show lodge in the park though.
December 10, 201410 yr comment_198786 Scruffy Dog, who as a lot of you know do the sets for the Fright Nights mazes at TP, have released this photo on their Facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/scruffydogltd/photos/a.239532496065728.64300.236634323022212/875481749137463/?type=1&theater
