Just saw some celebs on Air on the One Show and thought I'd mention it, and perhaps start a little game;

Every time you see Alton Towers on TV (not adverts) then post it here, channel, time and program. Maybe someone will have use for it one day.

One show

Alton Towers mentioned, specifically Air. A portion of the show was seated under the Air helix, and periodically the Air cart passed overhead. After which they finished a 300 miles children in need bike cycle. Pretty good for AT to be able to say they hosted that ^_^

That was to do with children in need. I knew it was at towers just after fireworks as I saw the dates published online

As this topic is specifically focussed on the Alton Towers Resort and concerns particular happenings at the resort, this is the appropriate sub forum for it.

If in future there are any concerns about a post or topic please use the 'Report' feature, as detailed here.

It's not the place itself but the name Alton Towers was mentioned twice on Citzen Khan last week.

Found this short (cheesy) clip on CBBC of John talking about The Smiler:

Skip to about three minutes in and the action kicks in.
Nothing we don't know though...

The other day some people on Radio 1 were saying that Daniel Radcliffe could purchase a year ticket for Alton Towers (they said rhymes with Balton Wowers due to the BBC not being biased) at which point I protested to the car radio. It isn't an 'Alton Towers' pass, it's a 'Merlin Annual' pass. I don't even live in the UK and I know that :*(

They then proceeded to say "No, he could just buy it out"
No. No Scott Mills. He couldn't. Daniel Radcliffe, attractive and rich as he may be, wouldn't have the cash to buy AT out.

Flipping publics, worse every time.
