R.I.P Quenchers It would appear that Quenchers will be leaving the Waterpark and is being replaced by: The Original Sandwich Company. It is not a simple rebrand either, from what I understood from the kind gentleman who explained it to me, it is quite an extensive refurbishment.  The main Water...

This picture actually made me cry with laughter. I am probably about to loose a friend by posting this  :lol: I present a guy who is definitely not on this forum and is definitely not called .will http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad46/Harrierstrike/560340_10150790016228792_518093791_11677263_...

A few more improvements have happened in old Cariba. Flooring on Lagoona bay, a new anti slip dark blue section has been laid down and looks superb, in addition to this they have added new covers for the little fountains that run across this area. Over on Rush and Rampage, the take offs have receive...

I don't think routine maintanence and cleaning warrants a price hike, especially as they've added nothing since 2003. Also in place is a new queue system for the master blaster. What does this mean, could you go into detail? What on earth is a "new queue system"?  :? The idea is to m...

Hey guys, just to let you know: The lockers are the same as they have always been but have had new locks fitted. With these locks (as is explained on many many signs around the place so people will understand the new system) you insert your first pound coin, then second, shut the door turn your key ...

Rather than starting a new topic, as this is still waiting internal consent before being submitted to the planning office. Plans for 4 slides coming from a central tower have been sent to Merlin by the Waterpark to be added in an extended area outside. This isn't the first time that this has been at...

The form was a PNA 96, Teror of the Towers had one on the right as you entered the conservatory. It has the name of the attraction on it and what it will feature and for how long. Hope this helps!

I believe that Picsolve have a way to turn off the system that adds the scores to the photos. I can't quite remember the reason for this (I think the computer messes up sync or something) probably better asking one of the others but it is something I was discussing with a chap who was on Air photos ...

Not sure if it was this military vehicle previously used but it is/was sitting behind the studios.

Stay cool

Ooooo one for me please! I have a habbit of pin collecting xD :D

Hey Verfum, Glad to see someone else who loves to have a good ol' look at what's in the gardens. Nice find with the bottle! I can half confirm that that is Cuckoo Arbor, I say half confirm as when I stumbled across it a few years back I enquired on here as to what it was, and thanks to some of the m...

No problem, glad I could help :)

Wow, that's some impressive history. I love this kind of stuff :D
Thanks for sharing!

Hi fFangeo,

Your best bet is to use something like http://photobucket.com/ to get the pictures online, from there copy the link with image tags on it and paste it onto here. :D

This sounds like a really interesting collection, can't wait to see it!

Chip :D

I love the design of the site, best they've had in a long time...if not ever! However, whilst browsing the themed rooms page, I found some quite bad spelling mistakes! I would have thought that the site would have had important areas like that proof read, its not very professional. Apparently the sp...

Very interesting story. It's great watching blythe colo...ahem chroma colours :P growing to become a nice themepark.
Well done!

I love the font, kinda reminds me of the weird not quite right font of years gone by. What they have done to the towers though!?!?!?!?! *Bleurgh*

I see no confirmation of Shrek, though? Although, I am expecting the theme to be Shrek now, anyway. It would just be nice to see the whole thing confirmed. Out of interest... Why is the photo so poor? Where is the source from? Sadly I don't have confirmation as such about the theme ( a friend of mi...

Ladies, Gentlemen and .Will. I bring you that oh so desired C word...no not that one you dirty person. [-X Confirmation! Well, of the bit we kinda already knew but it's always nice to have it on a poorly scanned in picture. Alton Towers is having a 4D cinema and the manufacturer is the legendary Sim...

Can't agree more with everyone, an absolutley amazing season!

Magic, fantastical, whatever you want to call it, it was!
Thank you Alton Towers for an awesome season!

Brilliant events, brilliant atmosphere, brilliant staff, brilliant rides, brilliant times!

Heres to another great season!

:D

haha, random. I guess it must be the maintainance playing around or something, but i'm fairly sure that gremlins were a prize in x sector on the basket ball for a while, I won gizmo and stripe on there :P Would that guitar man roof dweller possibly be something from old macdonalds farm yard? Stay co...
