real.
The fact that they haven’t made a tea rooms out of the conservatories is just crazy.
In relation to the towers ruins, wouldn't be surprised if it was linked to the current extensive work in preparation for scarefest. During my visit I saw many workers entering and exiting the Altonville mine tours as well as a lot of scrap coming out of the building. Hopefully this combined with the closure of the towers ruins means huge changes for scarefest 2023!

How was your Algeria trip?
Waterfalls are back!! Great to see Rapids getting some love at last lol.
Loved seeing this beautiful park. Would love to visit one day if I ever get the chance to go to the UK. So much green space! I love it. The themeing of the rides were incredible. It really adds so much more to the ride itself. Like you said before, I really hope parks here in the states start adapting that. Anyways, another great vlog!

Having grown up visiting the park it is truly special, nestled near the Peak District even the drive up to the park through a forest road is magical. The ruins and park is full of history which stands it apart from other parks

Alton Towers has inspired and kickstarted many a thusies obsession with proper Theme parks. I'm reaching my 40s and I still get butterflies when getting onto the monorail to the entrance. A truly magical park, and I hope Merlin have a proper plan to give the whole place some TLC to maintain that magic. It's eroded a bit over the years but it's still such a special place to so many of us!
Off to Alton in September after a looong wait since 1995 (opening of Nemesis) I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! Amazing USA Vlogs aswell guys, well done for completing all those parks You guys have the best life EVER!!!! thank you so much for taking us with you for the "ride"....xxxxxxx lots of love both xxxxxxx

Your finally back home and now just waiting for these updates from every parks. Recent vlogs were amazing
great to see you guys back at Alton. my son Jayden is one of your biggest fans, we saw you at the carpark on way home, you were parked next to us. My sons over the moon you actually captured him on rita on your film!! keep up the great work and keep riding !!
Visited last Saturday was our first time on curse of Alton Manor and we were so impressed much better than Duel. Also loved the waterfalls being back on, on the rapids made the ride so much better. Just waiting for Hex to return now 🤞
Hope you had a great day! While I loved the USA road trip, it’s lovely to see somewhere familiar for a change.
Good to have you back! One day I will be as lucky as you guys to live near alton and have a merlin pass. You can do UNLIMITED VLOGS!
Currently visiting Europa Park- only because we watch your videos! So glad we are - it’s amazing!! Thanks for your vlogs, as we only heard of it because of you.
I always enjoy watching your vlogs have done for years, your American trip was just amazing and the coverage you give is superb, you are always so informative and helpful to anyone travelling to there and you are so good to drive all those miles ! So glad you got the car sorted that day , just waiting to see your New York vlog ! Been there 18 times and still love it , best wishes to you both , you’re both amazing people xxxxx❤

Awesome video! I love Alton Towers so much.
Hey guys! That was me, my fiance and some friends waving from the queue on Wicker Man. It was great to see you. Thanks for the amazing videos. Luke.
I think Rita on front is apsolutely amazing! It gives a good launch, is smooth, decent ejector, pretty intense. I really enjoy it
omg yesss! i'm so glad you uploaded i'm going alton towers this thursday and i can't wait. :)
It is so busy on school week! Everyone gets on 1-2 rides (three if you are lucky) 😅 Cannot wait to watch the rest of the video! 🎉
Soo happy to see you both travelled back and both safe and sound and back at Alton Towers🥰❤️ bet you miss the states though and there massive adrenaline coasters 🎢. Another great blog and still great weather for you both❤Keep riding 😊 sending loves to you both and all 🥰xx

Yes mate, whent there last summer absolutely scorching 40°C. Loved it there.
Great to see a video at the classic Alton Towers!
Another great video. Glad you enjoyed your USA trip. Keep up the great work
Loved seeing your reactions to the storm as we were there and it was definitely one of the most surreal / memorable moments from a park that I've ever had. Pretty sure from watching this we managed to be at the opposite end of the park to you all day 😂 Loved getting back on Curse twice. Such a phenomenal ride. It was ride 5/6 for me and I only just noticed Emily disappearing on the Swing!

Great vlog guys! We were here the same day doing our first theme park vlog! 😄
Glad that you guys are back at Alton Towers! It is nice to see the waterfalls on the Congo river rapids operating again. Also, the eyes on the statue in the gardens was just not right.
I'd love to see Galactica get a more appropriate theme when Nemesis reopens. Removing the VR just defeats the point of the galactica retheme
Love all your videos❤❤❤
Good To see you back at the King of all UK Theme parks Alton towers and the Curse of The Alton Manor is incredible along with Nemesis Subterra
Galactica is so underrated of a ride, I just think it's the theming but the entrance is really cool, and everything but the outside view hasn't got the best theming! Also, did you have a good time in the USA going to all those theme parks?!

It definitely is underrated, which I find hard to believe because I recall the day I visited Alton Towers during my school trip back over 21 years ago when it was known as Air and everyone who went on it absolutely loved it. I find it so unique myself because the ride is meant to make you experience flying in the air like superman or woman.

I was in the park on a Saturday and it was very quiet compared to Friday. We managed to do loads of rides!!!
Going next Wednesday with school and I can’t be more excited
Reasons why I love every ride at Alton Towers The smiler: airtime Oblivion: drop Wickerman: statue Nemisis: loops Rapids: wet 13: indoor drop Runaway mine train: the speed Galactica: legit flying Rita: launch
Definitely agree with Galactica does need a refresher
Hi Sean. I’m so happy to see another Alton towers video. Your videos help me get through the anxiety I have been suffering with for years. On Sunday and Monday (July 23rd and 24th) I am making my first trip to Alton towers on a birthday trip for my 14th( I am 14 and live in london) and I already know so much about the park thanks to you. I was just wondering if you were coming to the park on any of those days it would make my birthday trip incredible

Awesome Video Guys
I'm going tomorrow with school! I'm really excited as I haven't been since October 2021. Very excited to ride the smiler for the first time (it was closed last time) :D
last week i came with my school and thanks to your videos i found out about the single rider line, we managed to get 4 or 5 rides on the smiler in total, although i dont think i could do it that many times in one day again 🤕😆😆
cannot wait to go next week!!!
I was there the Sunday before and the queuetimes were moderate. Managed to get multiple re rides on Curse and Congo... Waterfalls make all the difference but still didn't get wet!

‘Chew chew’ is what they always say on the Runaway Mine Train - it’s part of the joke. Meant to be very camp. Regulars love it. Seems you are walking way more than we ever do. Perhaps take the sky train between the key zones and do one section at a time? If you’re there for rope drop, you can usually get Smiler and Oblivion both done in about 20 minutes. Should easily get the big six done before about 2pm. Provided you’re in the queue for something at park close time, you will be allowed to ride.

Unfortunately the skyride is closed all of 2023 as we would use it!
I was there that day, unfortunately didn’t see you there but I was in the oblivion station, thunder went off and the power went out, lights went out but only for a second.
I’m going to towers for my first time on Monday and I cannot wait
It’s nice to see Sub Terra back open it definitely gives the capacity while Nemesis was under investigation and hopefully when the observation platform is gone they can reduce the wait time
Went with my girlfriend on Monday hoping to enjoy a day there without our kids…unfortunately for us every school in England was there and it rained. Ended up leaving at dinner was terrible! 90 minute queues on a Monday off peak :(
The USA road trip was amazing!
love watching this channel! using your videos to get ready for our trip to alton towers this month! in your opinion, should going at the end of august be less busy?

Curse of The Alton Manor New Effects Are Looking Great for the ride
Nice vlog. I'm taking my 11 year old up to Alton Towers in two weeks on the train from London and staying at the hotel, her first time there. She isn't 1.4m so shame Hex is still down. Would love to see you do a full gardens tour vlog at some point!
Such an underestimated park, but glad you enjoyed. 👍
The towers should be open as there doesn't seem to be any issues with them. Hopefully congo has the rapids turned up now the waterfalls are back!
Man !! You guys didn’t even get unpacked before hitting the UK parks 🎉
Galactica is amazing, she just needs some TLC bless her heart A retheme or even a slight retrack would help her get back on her feet
Loved watching your usa road trip and now alton towers, im at alton towers in a couple of weeks . I think smiler is my favourite ride there. I really dont miss hex, although the theming is good the ride intelf makes me feel really sick!.

I think Alton Towers need to do an Indoor wet dark ride love to see one ❤

I know it probably wont happen but I would love to see a new advert for the Nemesis retrack, like an updated version of the original advert "SIT BACK, ITS FRIGHT TIME!"
It does add a different vibe 19:06
Gotta love alton towers. Im going in september ill be on smiler
Went last Monday was pretty gutted we only got to do 5 rides, my first time ever at Alton towers too, hope next time I go we get a lot more done
I always had a walk inside the towers. I really wish they would restore the building. I can remember the model train set in one of the rooms.
Liking the new end music 🎶
