Re: Alton Towers Resort - Quick Questions
I’ve vaguely heard about it I think. I’ll ask some people.

Re: Alton Towers Resort Future - General Discussion
Notice that there’s a rectangle around the date? A new date has just been put over an old image. Also the ‘2021’ in the top right corner has very clearly been added. In fact the whole green part looks really shoddy. Looks to me like it was all done on instagram from the fonts. It would make absolute...

Re: Wicker Man - General Discussion
Hi, I was wondering if anyone happened to have an image of the Wicker Man alphabet as I'm quite fascinated by the theming and story behind the ride but can't find any images of the alphabet translated to the roman alphabet. Thanks. https://forum.towerstimes.co.uk/download/file.php?id=419 From http...

Re: Alton Towers Resort - Quick Questions
I’ve noticed some restaurants requesting mobile ordering online but I can’t see mobile ordering anywhere on the app. Is this possible or do we just queue as usual with restaurants/fast food places? Mobile ordering can be used in most food outlets across the resort. Use the app’s map to select the f...

Re: Alton Towers Resort - General Discussion
I’d like to clarify that although it would be an alright idea and it has been mentioned in the past, I do not believe it will happen in the next few years, if at all. Possibly if sw9 is located around there they could build it at the same time but I still don’t think it’s likely. I’ve just booked t...

Re: Alton Towers Resort - General Discussion
A second gate at air has been a topic of conversation for many years. It was included in the long term development plan that was published about a decade ago. If it was to become a second gate I think it would have to be exclusive to certain groups such as disabled, pass holders, resort guests. If i...

Re: Thorpe Park Resort - General Discussion
You’d hope that Thorpe would have a heavy cap on visitor numbers given their small size but it sounds like it’s not the case. It’s lucky they’re not doing other things like virtual queues that would keep even more people on the paths.

Re: Alton Towers Resort Merchandise
I’d agree with that. I much prefer distinctive badges of the ride logos than some of the stuff they’ve been making. The hologram pins, for example, I’m definitely not a fan of. They’re not recognisable enough.

Re: The Smiler - General Discussion
Really depends on the day. Weekdays maybe half an hour? Weekends and school holidays are closer to an hour or two. Smiler currently has Single Rider though so I’d recommend that over buying fasttrack for it. But at this point any advice is pretty much useless as we don’t know what the park will look...

Re: Alton Towers Resort - General Discussion
Looks like everything has sold now. Shame as I liked the look of the ties. I read somewhere that they plan to release more stuff each week so hopefully there’ll be more on soon.

Re: SW9
At this point any kind of 'pattern' or cycle has gone completely out of the window. SW8 was late because of the Smiler incident and this pandemic will have an even bigger impact on their finances. Its completely dependent on how long parks must stay closed and whether the public has any interest in ...

Re: Alton Towers Resort - General Discussion
Taking a look at 2020's Accessibility Guide shows some interesting stuff including this table: https://i.ibb.co/Rg04KQB/Capture.png It shows the 3 new or renamed rides in The World of David Walliams and also confirms that Cuckoo Cars will be officially a part of the Towers area. It also shows the n...

Re: Cloud Cuckoo Land Replacement
Personally, I think the wall just looks Alton Towers themed rather than an IP. It looks like their family style and brand.Torsie24 wrote:The wall looks a little "Angry Birds" esque to me....

Re: Worst thing you've ever accidently done at a park.
Again, not a park but when my grandad picked me up from nursery many years ago he set off the fire alarm, causing the entire primary school to have to evacuate.

Re: What do you think should replace CCL?
I still think it would be great if Aardman and Merlin teamed up and created a whole new world of characters I don't think that's going to happen, honestly. After BPB put in Thrill-O-Matic, I think the GP would presume Towers is copying BPB. It's a better idea than the 7th bloody Thomas Town/Land. Y...
