Hi, as i'm sure many of you have done, I'm building a compilation of Alton Towers ride & area music from throughout the ages for something to listen to as I'm going to the Towers on Monday. I was just wondering if anyone here had the full haunted house theme (before Duel) as I can't seem to find it anywhere. On hauntedone.co.uk half of the links are broken so I cant get it from there. I know some of you will have it from the old 1994 music CD that contained both Haunted House and Toyland Tours themes. If you have it or know where to find it, please reply on this thread or PM me the links. Thx.

Just done a new vid on the history of the train station in Alton Village with loads of footage and old pics. Couldn't find any existing ones so could be a first? Maybe i didn't look hard enough?

Be sure to cross the advertising rubbish at the bottom off at first as usual (usual youtube stuff).

The tracks are Downstream by Supertramp and Peace Fugue by Fred Wesley if anyone was interested.

Enjoy maybe? :)

By the way, it's watchable in full screen. Probably better in-between small and full though?

Edit - Expand works very well (middle size).

New vid i've put on my youtube channel.

From c 1988 a 20 min long TV programme with Alton Towers as the backdrop. Features scenes around the park, inside the towers, rides at the end etc. One of the weirdest things i've seen for a while feat Alton :)

Features Christopher Biggins and a young Peter Barlow off Corrie which is even more weird.

Get a cup of tea and enjoy :)

That has to be one of the most strangest kids tv shows ever. The whole thing was just very weird. I love how at the very start the coach just drives straight up in front of the monorail station where all the public wait. Its also nice to see the park in its closed season with nothing happening.

It's also funny to see Peter Barlow operating the whole park from the Cable Car control room apparently :P

Yes I did notice that at the end with the POMA logo on the control panel! Im guessing that would be at towers street side?

Hmmm, not sure myself as i'm not too much into the whole technical and ride op stuff. I'm sure some whizz kid will know though. At a random guess i'd suggest Forbidden Valley as it's the one in the middle of the system...but i'm probably wrong :)

The Skyride control room is at the Forbidden Valley station, it's the big glass window on the side of the station going to Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Couple of short video's on my site again here. I'd guess these are unseen.

New zoo in 1959 in the Courtyard/Terrace:

Sorry to bore you but i've made another new video. This time on the history of the Dovecote/Pigeon house (dates back to the 1840's) that 1000's of visitors walk within metres of every day, but hardly any would know it is there : )
