[quote=""meames""]Been to Alton today and been playing with my new camera - got 300 photos of Towers Street and put them all together in a short movie...I quite like it:

Nice video.

Shame that it highlights just how tacky Towers Street has become these days.

Not sure about the flags. But the "scaffolding" (if you're on about the thing near the center) is a frame holding up a massive screen that's on Towers Street advertising upcoming events, show times, the hotels, waterpark, golf, tickets etc.

No problem, it does look a bit out of place but still, it's a easy way to market a few things.

Altonator's uploaded pictures of the screen on Flickr if you fancy seeing what it looks like.

It's all for the Mad Science event which is currently taking place at Towers. Hopefully the screen will go after this event as it does ruin the view from the top of Towers Street.

If I could thank you again I would Barry! Thats a really good behind the scenes look at Hex, really detailed and its nice to see them go through the whole ride. It really is quite a interesting ride with all the different rooms and with it being in the real towers.

Does anyone have the full version of Ug Land area music? I know Ug Land has been re-themed but it would still be nice to have it for memory purposes. I once downloaded it from a site years and years back, I think the site was called Alton Towers Moments or something along those lines but it's non existent now though, but I remember the music being about 15 minutes long, where as the one on TT is only a snippet which is about a minute and a half. I remember it starting with caveman style grunts and groans. If anyone has it, could you upload it for us please?

As a token, I will upload a better version of the merged Toyland Tours theme (CD Rip, 320kbps, 25min, 56.6 MB) than the one on the site (crappy cassette rip): Here

It was knocking about on various sites, but I guess most of the sites have pulled it after recent events.

I'd love a copy of the Black Hole's lift hill music. I know it's obviously hard to find. I've only heard it in 2 places: Here on TT (really crap recording), and on that old Space Mountain VHS Ad (yes it is the same one): http://youtu.be/xlKKTSVETt0. I wont expect miracles from asking for this track but I could ask if anyone has a bit more information about it.

Note: the one I was thinking of was the UG Land sound loop, which I now have as a generous user PM'd me the link after about 10 mins of posting. Then I gone and found a valid link in this discussion. I kind of think if i'd had looked on this discussion beforehand, I wouldn't have needed to ask.

Don't know how long they've been there BUT on the My Alton Towers website (official), there is actually some ride theme music to download for free. There's nothing special though. It seems that Alton now has released some ride music to the public.

Music:

1. Air
2. Alton Towers Resort (Mountain King)
3. Hex
4. Nemesis

^Yup, though if you take a look at some of the ID3 tags, you'll see that most of them have been taken from here :lol:

I see. You'd have thought they'd have their own copies though wouldn't you.

Does anyone have a copy of the Hex theme tune, the duel theme tune and the bass music part of the video played while loading the cars at Oblivion? The media section is not allowing me to download anything.

Try looking through this topic and/or searching youtube.

Hi avviexo,
Try http://www.musicofmerlin.com/ if TT isn't working. They CERTAINLY have some of the tracks you are wanting.
