It looks like they got bored and started playing around with WordArt in Microsoft Word... Oh god it's terrible  :lol

Scarefest is not on this week. It next runs from Friday 16th October to the 1st November

I say we start a petition for Olympia Looping to make an appearance for the true Oktoberfest experience :lol 

Today Intamin have announced 4 new ride concepts. Hot Racer Firstly we have the Hot Racer, which is Intamin's take on the RMC single rail coaster. These compact dueling coasters look to be a good investment for parks with limited space, with one of the advertised layouts been dubbed as "The wor...

Alton pin badges tend to retail for £4.50 per badge so £3 is good. 

If you're wanting more pin badges either buy them directly from the online shop, or just search "Alton Towers Pin Badge" on eBay.

Well that’s why individual theme park passes exist! It’s extremely fair what they are doing by adding on months. And if you don’t want to visit a SeaLife or Tussauds during the winter then that’s your own problem, not Merlin’s.

A B&M Hyper won't ever happen due to the restrictions. Unless they fancy digging a 200ft+ trench...

That's just because it's Thorpe Park, it never has an atmosphere and closed rides  :lol :lol

The park always opens in October and November, why is it all of a sudden an issue now?  :-k

I think the inflatable arch is just to get people excited for the area, a bit of advertisement. If you look behind the archway you can see the actual entrance archway which is made up of books piled up on top of each other.

Is the Scaremazing date confirmed yet?

Went to the abandoned toilet once. It was very abandoned and smashed up. As an abandoned toilet block should be.

Part of me thinks that the Nemesis extension queue never gets used because the queue is never long enough to warrant opening it... Just a wild guess.

On the POV video you can see there are 3 trains in use.

As we’ve had a talk by Eng/Tech, what would you like to see them talk about?  Would love to hear more about different procedures, a look into the scheduling of maintenance and some other interesting videos/photos like last time. To be fair some of the stuff I'd love to know about may be a bit borin...

Attic!

I'd love to see some ride behind the scenes tours at Alton. The Gruffalo BTS and DBGT BTS are my 2 favourite exclusives that I have had with TTSP and I'd love to see them happen at Towers. As for ERT, my personal favourite is Oblivion so would love to see that next year. Not had Th13teen or Spinball...

Yes you get fastrack for one ride on Duel, Runaway Mine Train, Nemesis and Oblivion per day of your visit.

Interested to see what people say to this as I am also currently a mechanical engineer and am looking to work in the theme park industry in the future! 

This was the best scaremazing I have ever done, I finally braved a proper maze and the behind the scenes of both mazes was really interesting, especially in Mine Tours having a play in the rat runs! The talk was really interesting seeing the design process of the mazes and learning more about the ma...
