Hi all, it’s been a while since I last posted to the forum (although I have avidly been keeping an eye on it), Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask however... I am planning a trip to towers on the 1st April - 3rd April, I’ve just purchased a premium merlin membership (worked out cheaper to d...

I'm not sure if this has been pointed out already, apologies if so. The lights in the Nemesis station are a orangey-red now as appose to the bright white lights prior to this, they seem to have added a tinted filter sheet to the lights which also makes them less bright and intrusive. I think they lo...

I'm quite curious to see what they deem as under 18, surely they're not going to start I.D'ing people. I know people who are in they're early 20's that look under 18, and vice versa Do we know how they will decide? (I'm 19 so I'm not worried for my own benefit, but I remember being 16 and going on w...

Thinking about it, Charlie technically has two things seen in other Dungeons, primarily the London one. The boat ride and the elevator. It’s possible they could reverse the boat ride and instead you enter via what was the exit for Charlie and then they use the elevators to represent the descent par...

where do i enter the sun code for 40% off? Cant find it anywhere

On this page on the Alton Towers Holidays website.

Does any one know the promo code for this? Or where I can get one, is it in the paper or?

Thanks!

:clap: :clap: I will post my full review / opinion soon, but for now all I will say is WOW.. expectations were well and truly ecceed. I had the luck of being seated at the very back, so I can’t speak for riders nearer the front edge of the carriage, but It was so much faster then I expected, especia...

So glad I booked my trip for next Monday. It's a real shame that the weather has ruined the official opening day (I was planning to watch highlights from peoples experience on it over the weekend) to build the hype. I'm praying the weather is good and  that they open it starting Monday if they choos...

As posted in the offers and vouchers thread, The Sun Superdays website contains a brand new version of the Wicker Man promotional image with all the other rides mixed in. It would be good to see the park map cover in a similar style as this looks epic! https://superdays.thesun.co.uk/images/grid/Alt...

Just over two weeks left until supposed opening day (unconfirmed I know)... and still no TV advert.

Is this normal? seems a like it will be cutting it a bit short... right?

I remember a while ago, people saying that the ride would have looked better with the darker blue, track repaint. So I had a look in photoshop, what it would look like. I must say, I think i am more of a fan of the aqua blue track, as it is now. I think it works really well with the darker blue and ...

WOW   they really did a killer job on this. Cant wait to see it in the flesh in march!

Lets hope its just hope it is maintained through out the seasons to come!

I agree, this wont be the final speed of the ride. I went back and watched clips of the smiler, there were points where the train almost stalled across the circuit. While I know the ride isn't going to be "super fast", as its a family coaster", I do believe it will be a lot faster the...

So I was on site today for some various reasons.

Whilst I was there, i was able to record this. Listen carefully

*ooo's and aaaahhhh's*
Nice clip Jack!

I don't believe any one has pointed this out but correct me if they have. However do we think this is one of the fire elements within the theming structure?  I created an image to explain what i mean better. https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2018/01/27/SdZAoca.jpg I imagine there is one on the ot...

This news has given me slight faith in Merlin again. Showing they are listening to the opinions of their customers. But on the other hand, it shouldn't take an uproar in negative comments for them to listen. I almost feel like they were testing the waters to see what they could get away with before ...

I second this, personally I kinda think that if it doesn't reopen next season, its not coming back. I was trying to be optimistic about it opening again this season. But with the later opening times and further cut backs announced, I don’t think it’s likely they would re open an attraction which is...

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned. But why invest in a brand new hotel, and build a multi million pound ride, if you can’t afford to keep existing rides operating all day? Don’t get me wrong, we all wanted a new coaster. Cool. But is it worth all of the cuts that have been made else wher...

Thanks for sharing Adrian, these are really great concepts! I would have loved to have witnessed what the atmosphere would have been like. It’s weird to think that maybe if this much of investment actually took place, and was given this much detail / theming, would galactica still have replaced it? ...
