Do you have the 2001 Alton Towers Monorail video?

Does anyone have the music from ugland after waiting for corkscrew it would be stuck in you head for the rest of the day

I will check my photos to be sure, but I'm pretty sure that this is the one now sitting in the maintenance storage area behind Duel. Presumably it's been used for spare parts for the rest of the fleet.

I was given a tour around some staff areas, and yes, the Daisy Train is in ruin behind Duel. It's in a bad state and it doesn't look like we'll ever be seeing it in operation again.

I was on park yesterday and the cow monorail train has made a reappearance, saw it a few times throughout the day and went on it at the end of the day. It's certainly the same one as I compared it to a video from 2008

I would have assumed that by 'the daisy monorail' he would have been referring to this one


(only photo i could find of it)
I haven't seen this one for a long time

Yeah, I believe that's the one. I was meant to check last night but didn't get around to it. Will be back on Thursday so will check then.

If you go to the toilets on the path between duel and FV and look over the fence you will see the daisy themed train on the floor with some doors open and one of the driver cab windows missing.

This is a photo I took the other week. You can also see the flume cars!

The daisy monorail died:(, when the techies were getting it out onto the system they hadn't put the transfer track back up fully and it crashed into it wrecking the bottom of the monorail. Now they use the daisy one for spares for the other ones.

Air ride signs, anybody know their fate?

Probably behind some fence somewhere *cough* tucked away in the scrap lot *cough*

Back before the park was owned by merlin there was a different halloween event unfortunately as I was very young I cant remember the name of it however I remember attending sometime between 2003-2005 and there being a show infront of the towers across the lake infront of a screen playing a hex style story, I distinctly remember a line about cursing one side of the audience and the finale being a firework display.
Can anyone else remember this?

Does anyone have the gif of this Ug Land advert? I had it on my old phone but I didn't transfer anything onto my new phone

Ta da!

Thank you!

I assume this question has been asked 10 billion times, but what happened to nemesis' red/blood water? I used to love it when I was a kid and think it added to the "scary" element of the theming.

#makenemesisredagain

It was something to do with the environment.

Although on a recent Facebook post, TowersLovingCare have said they would like to make it red again in the future!

I think I heard something about it flooding into streams in the village and turning all of Alton's water red It would be great to see it back though.

Where was Thunder Looper actually sold to? The same ride's at Knotts, don't know if it's physically the same ride though?

Thunderlooper has changed hands several times. Indeed, Towers were the third park to have it.

It now resides as Katapul at Hopi Hari, Brazil. Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's is the same model, but not the exact same coaster.
