Yeah maybe the girl in the ride audio could narrate it on how she became like this and what the dark forest is exactly and maybe just a thought it could tie into hex somehow I know bit of a stretch but it would be cool to see

When I first went to go on thirteen, I literally went into a panic attack and refused to go on. I went on a year later and wondered why I was so scared. Then I got stung by a wasp that came out of a bin in the queue. I never looked at that ride the same way again 😂

Elena Fox Even though I got stung once I was on the coaster my brain forgot about the sting and it didn’t bother me. The one thing I was worried about was that the lap bar would cause more pain, but luckily it didn’t 👍

Love, love, love Th13teen and it's mostly about the reactions of others - almost every time you ride, you're guaranteed to be sitting with people who have no idea what's coming, and I LOVE hearing their shock/surprise/fear. 😄

The best family coaster at towers absolutely love the adrenaline you get on the free fall it's just over all amazing for what we have

I was so scared if the Th13teen adverts when it came out, I refused to ride the coaster because I'm a wuss and thought this is going to scare me too much 😂 Was feeling brave in 2011 and went on and was like what was I even worried about 😂😂 Completely agree it was marketed all wrong!

I couldn't agree more. Definitely lacking something more out in the forest, even just some audio. It's like they forgot about the majority of the track time! Love the theming, the drop gets me every time!

It’s a very small ride. Just a couple twists and turns and a free fall drop.

I really like THI3TEEN, it was only a couple of years old when i was first on it. The drop track was a complete surprise to me. That then zipping out backwards was so cool. The theme is really cool. It was my daughters first big coaster, she was only 8 & was scared of the themeing but loved it & instantly wanted to go again so it will always be a fave for those reasons.

I haven’t been on Thirteen yet!! But with a trip to Alton towers in planning for 2021 it won’t be long until I do!! I’ve watched POVs and of course the vlogs so know what to expect!! In terms of next reviews Dragons Fury at Chessington, Black Mamba at Phantasialand, Hyperspace Mountain at Disneyland Paris!! Loved the video as always Shawn

Hello Shawn . I am the bunny brigade person from instagram. I was inspired by you to make my channel. You are the best!😃

When I went to Alton towers I thought it would be a tame coaster that was normal but then when we got into the building I didn’t expect the drop and my face went from this 😁 to this 🤬🤬

I love thirteen! The theming and drop track makes it for me! More theming in the woods would be great - an animatronic of the girl from the advert would be awesome!

My first ride on Th13teen I had no idea about the drop track. I’d been living abroad for many years so knew nothing about it. So I got the full experience on the ride and it was amazing! One of my favs at Alton Towers.

I'm loving the content, keeping me entertained during the lockdown. I would love to see a video reviewing some classic scare mazes like the Sanctuary or the Asylum, or even a video ranking your favourite scare mazes. Keep up the great work!

I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on the marketing . If it was marketed as a fun adventurous coaster for all the family people would be satisfied and happy with the addition from the get-go , but instead they were expecting something much more mature. I love thirteen , because when i first went to alton i was 8 and i didn't even know it existed.. i was very surprised to be dropped and i really enjoyed the ride .... brilliant video as always !

Loving all these videos, especially during lockdown. Can’t wait for parks to reopen and the vlogs will be rolling in! Thanks Shawn.

I do like thirteen and it’s a great addition to the park, but I think as well it definitely needs something. I feel as Alton towers introduced the pre show for wicker man I feel this is need for this ride as it would definitely benefit from it. There’s so much more tech today towards shows and creating atmosphere a small pre show with a projection or a few Sfx would give this ride a new feel towards it. Brilliant video as always Shaun.

Glad to see some appreciation for this coaster! I went on it as a kid and I was scared out of my mind 😂. Been on it recently and had a great time. Really underrated in my opinion

I remember going opening year and it broke down as I got to the front of the queue and closed all day I was due for a major operation and was so gutted so I complained and they gave me 4 tickets plus fast tracks for every ride for free which was brilliant of them. I love thirteen such a fun ride

I went to towers for the first time in many years last summer and me and my other half went on that more than anything else. It's a brilliant coaster. Definitely one of my favourite coasters.

The drop track on this ride is fantastic, and a very smooth coaster indeed! Nice review (as always)

I agree Shawn, after riding it for the first time, I thought it was pretty average, but a year later without the media hype, i forgot how good it actually was the first time. It really is still quite scary! Great family coaster.

I rode Thirteen for the first time back in 2019 and I loved it, Also Shawn I agree with everything you say. Drops were good, great G Force on the back and the drop element is brilliant. but yeah I think it is missing some extra theming or a pre-show.

Loving the daily uploads! Your reviews are great and well put together 👍😁

I'd like a shockwave review from Drayton, alot of people would like to know what standing up on a coaster feels like

I didn’t even know about the door closing behind. I’ll definitely look out for that next time I go on

I actually like the lack of a 'pre-show'. It makes the Tesla coil more of a 'thing'.

Defo agree that it’s a back row coaster! Also agree it’s great at night... even if you do get blinded by the onride camera! I also think Th13teens return to station launch is better than Rita’s 😂

My cousin was terrified to go on th13teen when we went as she kept watching the advert over and over luckily we got her on it and it’s in her top rides list 🙌🏻🙌🏻 xxxx

Th13teen is one of my favorite family coaster, and this ride proves that size does not matter as this possibly better experience to the likes of the smiler, for a family coaster it does pick up some speed especially with those kicker wheels.

Hope your safe ad well another awesome video

I really like this ride. I managed to get my non-enthusiast best friend onto it at their first day ever at a theme park at all (crazy considering she was 20 at the time!) last summer. She had no idea that the drop track was coming, and it made the experience so much funnier. Wardley and MMM at their best, with what is arguably the best family coaster in the U.K!

Just another review which I would love, doing a review on Paultons Park as general cause the rides are tame but it's a local park so I absolutely love it!

Love th13teen. Second best at Alton Towers. Wicker man is the best. Keep up the good work

Can definitely relate to the kicker wheel noise, it really is very satisfying! At the end of scarefest last year when I was on it the trims didn't activate and we ended up stopping on the second lift so the staff had to come and reset the ride but it was fun having a faster ride! Loving the new review series though 👍

Dark Forest needs a major revamp, they've got a good concept but besides Thirteen the whole area doesn't make sense. Even those small posters by Rita make a difference, would love more lore instead of 'unstable scaffolding', that's just stupid. Really enjoyable ride though, branding and soundtrack.

The first time I was able to ride Thirteen was during the 2011 Scarefest, and let me tell you, the theming for it at the time was INCREDIBLE. From what I remember, they had hooded actors out in the forests, barely visible, as well as the girl from the adverts crouched down at a point in the queue. To top it off, there was another hooded actor who you jump out at you as you left the gift shop, banging the metal behind him as he did. That absolutely terrified me

Your reviews are excellent Shawn. You always give a measured response and point out details that could so easily be missed. I agree the marketing, whilst brilliant, gave the wrong impression. That said, I love this ride, always enjoy it but even more so if riding with a first timer. Love the drop and the backwards section the most but like the whole ride experience. I’d be very interested to hear your views on Rita, especially as you’ve ridden a number of launch coasters around the world. Also interested to hear your take on some of the old woodies like Grand National at BPB.

Nice video shawn! I agree with what you say and I think that it would have been good if the forest section was longer or more interesting as I always feel that part goes too quick.

If you go down to the woods, you better not go alone, indeed. Smart 13 shirt for Shawn to match this review. The TV advert reminds me of Jumanji 1 with the vines. I would like a review of Oblivion. Make sure you and Shawn stay well and safe. 😊

I’ve always loved this ride, especially when it first opened & not many people knew about the free fall section - the reactions were brilliant 😂 & this ride is even better in the dark during scarefest! A pre-show like the wickerman has would’ve been a good touch to add to the story.

I love TH13TEEN Especially at Scarefest I love what they’ve done with the Dark Forest music in the last couple of years at Scarefest It changes to a darker metal style theme when it gets dark It really adds to the feel of the area

The Smiler review: (almost) 7 years later?

I was terrified of rollercoasters and this was the first ‘big’ coaster I ever went on, my boyfriend told me it was like the buffalo coaster and that’s the only reason he got me on it, after the first drop I thought I was going to die😂 It’s my favourite coaster now.

Th13teen is an awesome ride. First time I went on this rollercoaster I sat at the back that pull on the back row was intense lol and that drop I felt my stomach in my throat lol. I love the fact you don't really see the coaster it just adds to the curiosity of it. Saying that most of the rollercoaster at Alton Towers are like that great review Shaun 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Got to love the dark twisted theming of Alton Towers, it would be great if you could review something at Drayton Manor :)

When I first when on it on open year I did cry aha. But I do adore the ride, yes it was badly marketed but it's still amazing. It's scary for the youngsters. A memory I have was from last year taking my 6 yr old cousin on the ride for the first time, he looked shell shocked and he did cry bless him. But it's such a great family ride and it's one of my favourites in the uk

Only managed to get on for the first time last year. I quite enjoyed it but with already knowing the drop there wasn't much more too it. At least with Oblivion what you see is what you get. Good theming and pre show

Thirteen was a pretty decent ride in my visit 2 years ago but I don’t know why the fast pass queue is in the exit, it’s confusing.

I went in 2011. Went on for the first time. Thought it was a brilliant ride especially the second drop
