Thank you for your response. I'm visiting the resort this coming weekend for the first time in 2 years due to Covid, so very much looking forward to it. I'm missing the place and riding the rides

Have I imagined it or did Alton towers used to use old Bedford rascal or similar vehicles round the park many moons ago.
If so who remembers them and any pics would be amazing.
