I reckon their justification would be that it's a very different park now to 1980. Peter Kay did that great sketch about rides like Nemesis and Oblivion, how ridiculous and OTT they seemed to folks brought up on the 80's stuff. Also suspect they've worked out a sweet-spot with ticket prices, like imagine it was £9, I'd deffo go more often...but then loads of other people would too. End up with 6 hour cues as standard.

The ads for 13 were scary af when they aired

I cant beleve that it was only £2.50 to get in cos now its like £40.99

The first time I rode the Corkscrew, in the late 80s probably, I was only just tall enough after years of disappointment. We came down the 1at corner (the bit behind Terry Wogan (2.49)) then, as it rose up again I naturally pushed against my harness which lifted full in the air leaving me dangling by my arms. My big brother sitting next to me reached over, pulled me down & slammed my harness back in place just as we went upsidedown. When we got off I wanted to go again but my brother wouldn't let me. I didn't realise the gravity of what would have happened if he hadn't been next to me until years later. I genuinely owe him my life.

When i was younger I visited at least a couple of times a year; back then they really leaned into the creepy / gothic / occult theming, which apparently US parks can't really do due to the influence of the conservative Christian lobby. The setting with the vast wooded grounds and the backdrop of the massive ruined Gothic mansion (once the biggest private home in Europe) is perfect for the dark theme and as it's in Northern England, chances are you'll get a suitably gloomy overcast day for it. I'm 44 now and haven't been back to AT for years but I'm determined to do Scarefest one of these days. I visited before in autumn and it really adds to the eerie atmosphere of the place.

Yep, that was my era. 14 in 1993, first visit to AT with school for the last night of the fireworks. Rode the Black Hole, Thunder looper and Corkscrew. Bonus was that I got to go round the park with a gorgeous Goth lass who I had a massive crush on (hi Amy 👋) The park was so creepy and atmospheric in late autumn and nowhere near as overdeveloped or commercialised as it is today. Anyone got a DeLorean I can borrow for an evening 😊
