Alton Towers Quick Questions 2006/7

[Redcoat Jase]

It still is Muggers! - I'm not sure which part, however I was watching some program, I think it was the Magic Factory, and a clip of Peter Rabbit on ice was shown, and the music was playing! WOO!

[Squiggles]

I think it's the music from the Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle section of the show which features in the Towers Street Music. If I rcall correctly it's the "over the hills and far away" section of the Towers Street music. I'll check.

[Squiggles]

Sorry... it was actually the Mrs. Tittlemouse theme. I think there's actually to different peices from the Peter Rabbit show represented in the Towers Street theme, as well as the KC and Haunted House themes, as well as what I think might well have been the Land of Make Believe and Farm themes at one point.

[Redcoat Jase]

I dont feel the need to change the Towers Street music, Even us enthusiasts don't even recognise the individual themes properly, so god knows how the general public will!
I believe that was the reason they changed the Towers Street music because they got rid of ToylandTours?

[Squiggles]

Listening to it, I'm not sure that the Toyland Tours theme is actually represented in the Towers Street music, there are sections which are kinda similar, but I think these might be the Land of Make Believe theme. The reason I'm not sure if it is the TT theme, is that the Nemesis theme doesn't seem to feature, which suggests that the music was composed in 1993.

[Redcoat Jase]

Assuming we have the correct version (Downloadable from Here) - The Toyland Tours them does feature in the Towers Street music, if you listen at around 1min 50, the Toyland Tours theme kicks in with a country-style, farmyard twist! [/url]

Anyone know if theres a quick list of rides by minimum height?

Or a full list of rides at Alton with the restrictions?

I'm trying to plan a day for someone with kids, and its getting very annoying trying to navigate through Alton Towers website looking for heigh info!

Here you go Peter, I mean Joel.

I haven't heard the Peter Rabbit ice music for so long, wouldn't recognize it from the TS music without hearing the Peter Rabbit music again :P

Lots of history in this once piece of music. Deffinately doesn't need changing just because the selected ride is no longer there. Adds a bit of individuality!

Does anyone have the Magic Factory video that they wouldn't mind sharing to me? I had it on my other laptop but it could never play so I got rid of it!

Anyone know the answer to my question above?

Will Towers own bus be running on March 17th?

Thanks,

Dan xx

[Tom M]

I'll say yes but I'm not sure, the 32a will be though so why not just get that instead? Certainly cheaper aswell.

[Danzaw*nk]

Problem is I get in Uttox at 10 to 10 and im sure the next bus isnt till 10 past 11? I think that's because it's every other hour isnt it? So one at 10 past 9 then 10 past 11.

I hope the Alton Towers one is running otherwise im gonna have to fork out 20quid for a taxi .

Dan

[Kelly]

Ahh yes your right there Dan, theres a bus at 9.45 and then one at 10 to 10, shame you just miss the 9.45 one.

Hmmm il see if i can find out if the other bus is running!

Edit:

Found this, seems suggest the service is only running from easter dan.

Ah thanks for that Kelly.

I'll phone up nearer the time just to check .

[Lauren]

Does that mean the bus that runs from uttoxeter train station is not operating till easter?
*confused*

[Vik]

Yeah im a bit skeptical about that though as on the two occasions ive caught a bus to Towers (it was towers own), the 32A has not shown up at 10.10 so im guessing it's every other hour

Thanks for looking into it though Vik .

Probably stupid, quick question: How many eye's has nemesis got? In photo's I can only find one. Also, if the Nemesis beast is the one you can see in the pit, then what is the second scarier one that can be seen with the pincers all about?

[Wes]

Hi,

I have just ordered an Annual pass for Tussauds via Tesco Clubcard!

I am not at abit of a loss at what will happen? Will they sent me the annual pass or will I get a voucher or something to take to an tussauds attraction to get my annual pass?

Thanks.
