Farely and the surrounding area mainly consists of lots of accommodation and B&B's due to the rural village nature of the place. This makes Alton Towers the only real desirable location in terms of days out and activities unfortunately. I realise you are maybe interested in other things rather t...

I am well aware that these removals and refurbishments will benefit the resort in the long term and provide a better experience for guests in later years and I look forward to this. Despite this, the whole situation feels like the end of an era for the park. Wether we like it or not, the resorts saf...

The ride is beginning to look a lot more professional with its cladding up.

If VR is a possibility could it only be activated in certain parts of the ride? I was thinking about the whole reality VS imagination theme and VR could be used to achieve this. The riders would be wearing goggles that at certain points of the ride were completely see through while real life scenery...

I am very excited about Thorpe Park's new 2016 attraction. I already love the basic theme and if we end up seeing an immersive tunnel or advanced simulator ride I believe it will be a high quality attraction. My only worry is that it will be undoubtedly difficult to capture the essence of confusion,...

I think this is just as successful as the other John Lewis Christmas Adverts. Sometimes Christmas is too commercialised so it is nice that a big company has taken the time to interest people in their products while also conveying a valuable moral message. The advert itself is beautifully produced an...

Hi folks, Havent been to Towers for a while and was going this year but could not make it. We are going next year overnight, could anyone tell me when its really quiet so you can get on without waiting and what is the best days to go when there is hardly anyone there?? Thanks I would suggest a week...

This was a great review and I'm glad you enjoyed your visit.

Sorry for the vast number of posts. To unlock the next clue on Minds wanted. Press UP,UP,DOWN,DOWN,LEFT,LEFT,RIGHT,RIGHT.

The mirror have posted an article about the ride as have many other newspapers. It states that the journey is "13 minutes" long and includes some comments from Derren about the ride http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/derren-brown-creates-psychological-theme-6705618" onclick="window...

The timer reached its end and is now reversing and counting back up again. Another one of Thorpe Parks mind games I guess. At least we now know that Derren Brown is involved. The new video is also a replica of the original video but reversed and the timer also reversed and therefore it is clear ther...

I'm pretty confident towers street isn't going anywhere any time soon. Could easily see a underground Gardaland type entrance for a second one near air for resort guests. I agree. The Towers are too iconic and should be the focus point upon entry of the park and therefore I doubt Towers Street will...

Currently at Towers now and I've had an idea about the possible retheme to air. I know this idea has been floated around for a long time but what about a Dr Who theme for air. "Watchthisspace" "The Future is here" could be great to drive in footfall with minimal changes to the c...

I really think THE BIG TOP is incredibly inconsistent and I hope next year it's much improved and finished in time. I agree with you on this point. The Big Top's issue is the inconsistency. My run through was average yet some other pov's show that it has great potential. I have no doubt it's a good...

It seems as though The Big Top has had many new characters introduced to the maze and also utilises some new effects. This pov ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io6IDcUOCHg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )shows some of the new additions. My run through on the maze did not include; th...

I think the audio of the Dark Apocalypse scare-zone at Alton Towers is very interesting. In the video by Theme Park Worldwide, you can hear voice overs saying "residential areas in Happy Valley are off limits". I realise that Air has always related to the theme of an untouched valley that ...

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, however there is now a countdown on top of the Minds wanted mini site.
