Ladies and Gentlemen the time has finally come. The satellites have now focussed, with popular demand, on the world's favourite theme park.
Whole Resort
Forbidden Valley
Gloomy Wood and Katanga Canyon
Merry England, Towers Sreet and Old MacDonald's Farm
Adventure Land, Horseshoe Wood and X-Sector
The Towers, Cred Street and Coaster Corner
UG Land, Abbey Wood and the Gardens
The Hotel Complex
General views: North, South and East
These images seem to have been taken in late 2005 and although not overly clear, are certainly much better than what we had before.
Alton Towers Google Earth - UPDATE!

Great pics there I never realised Cariba Creek was so close to the front of the hotel. When you walk through into reception is there a window infront of you that you can see out over the water park ?
From them pics you can just see them working on Charlie so they were probably take towards the end of 05 like you said

When I was in school yesterday, in a lesson where we were in the Comp room I went on Google Earth. I showed my friend Alton Towers and started to wonder why it was suddenly so clear. Lol I was thinking it's not like this at home and voila now I know why!

Wowser, thank you very much!
Looks like its a very sunny clear day there, showing the park in its full glory, also shows how much space they could use.
Youv'e just put a big smile on my face!
Thanks

*Heavans sing* Nice find!
Also if you look closely at the cred street pic I think that the picture was taken during the construction of CATCF. (looks like it to me)

Great pictures.
A great find. No doubt wil be great use to us on here in years to come. How often is GE updated?
Clearly shows where ride space (Or lack there of) there is at the Towers. But thats for another topic.
