Can't really argue. Th13teen is one of the best 'family' coasters in the country. Why they decided to market it as more thrilling than Oblivion i'll never understand. The coaster absolutely proved itself though. It still regularly pulls bigger queues than most rides barring the Smiler and Wicker Man. Towers could do with getting rid of that scaffolding at long last though.

When the car stoped, I looked over at my dad (who'd been my ride buddy my whole life) as if he knew what was going on. We made eye contact as the track dropped and I screamed because I thought for a split second that the track broke. Dad giggled like a little kid the whole rest of the ride. Drop tracks 4 life.

I went on this blind last year. Didn't know about the hype, didn't know about the drop. It was very enjoyable then, definitely a good surprise. Still wouldn't call this an ultimate roller coaster though, and I doubt a second round would live up to the first.

Watching this and seeing you call it a failure is just funny to me.

I love Th13teen, the marketing didn't disappoint me but I wish the first section was a little longer. Alton really has a nack for rides with a dark theme.

Th13teen's a lovely little family coaster but they definitely missed the mark when it came to marketing it - great documentary! I'm always surprised at the number of first time riders who STILL don't know what happens and I LOVE their reactions.

Th13teen was the first ever rollercoaster I ever went on, this being the year of release and I really enjoyed it. However I went on it again only a few weeks back, its definitely a ride that is thrilling on the first go, but not so much on the second. Still really enjoyed it though

Darklight Films, I rode it back in Easter, but I’ve done rides at Thorpe park, and Florida, so riding this I was rather underwhelmed and honestly just laughed at it!

Despite the media hype, I was still pretty impressed with 13. The hype implied that there were going to be spoilers, so the best thing was not to look into it too much on the internet if you were planning to ride it.

I went on Verbolten before, and when the freefall drop came, it suprised me. Needless to say, it's a great rollercoaster.

Fast and Furious Supercharged as Universal Orlando is also a marketing disaster. It was advertised to be an intense thrill ride. But when it opened, it was just a underwelming experience compared to Earthquake/Disaster. They should replace it with a Secret Life of Pets 4D shooting dark ride/simulator.

I would absolutely love it if you made a series of videos regarding the build up and marketing of past attractions. It’s absolutely a fascinating field of work and park history.

I remember following the construction and build-up around this coaster when it was announced (mind you, I live in the US and at the time I was still in high school) and I kept thinking to myself "Wow, Alton Towers is truly going to unleash a beast of a coaster). In all honesty, after seeing what Th13teen really was, it was quite disappointing. Other than the free fall aspect of the coaster, the actual layout of it was quite..um, mundane.

absolutely brilliant video - please keep making alton towers content! :)

Alton Towers: Th13teen is our scariest ride! The Smiler: *Are you sure about that?*

The innovation with John.W and Intamin with the quick moving switch track paved the way for their new swing launch coasters I feel, such as Dualing Dragons and Pantheon and obviously Hagrids in IoA. There's alot of great engineering on this ride if you ever get to tour backstage, it's just a shame that non of it translates to a cohesive complete ride experience on this ride, but it is more important than people realise.

As someone who is terrified of heights and won't go on coasters that go upside down, I really enjoyed this ride. That says it all really 🤣🤣🤣

I did really enjoy this ride. But they did go ott with the adverts, but then didn't live up to the expectation of the "scariest ride ever" thing they were going for. Yes the drop is great! But the track leading up to it had no themeing surrounding it. They could have easily made it a thick forest, with smoke effects, even some blue lighting or something. Just to make it dark and scary! The woodland seemed pretty bare and boring when I went on this back in 2010. Great video btw! Love seeing videos on AT and TP

I've Been On 13 The Ride At Alton Towers Back In August 2016. It Was Super Awesome. Thanks Expedition Theme Park Mate. X

You mentioned something about this ride a while ago, and I've been excited for this video since. Very interesting ride concept. I didn't do any research on it because I like the way you present the rides.

When I rode for the first time, I was terrified, the buildup had nearly psyched me out from even getting on, but afterwards I realised it was basically the runaway mine train with a bigger drop. It still stands out to me as a ride with really well done theming, with smaller additions in the queue line which I find I may have not noticed the first time round. I enjoy the ride quite a bit, I won’t however ride it if the queue time is above 35 minutes because it’s not really worth the hassle. But I have to say it is one of the secret weapons which since it’s opening has had consistent queue times of around 30-40 minutes + on busier days which I think is a testament to the ride and its enjoyment factor. People might think otherwise though. I definitely saw the flaws in the marketing, but I think that’s something that only adds to the lore of the coaster and is slightly humorous to look back and think about now the ride will be reaching its 10th birthday next year.

My first trip to Alton Towers was just after the release of Thirteen. It was my first trip to any theme park at a height where I was tall enough to ride most to all of the thrill rides. Unfortunately due to the marketing of Thirteen I'd seen on TV I was too afraid to ride any of the thrill rides. In the whole day trip I only went on Hex, the Mine Train and the Log Flume. That subconscious fear has stayed with me for all of my life since then. I have since ridden a few more thrill rides like Raptor twice and another one on trips to Lite Water Valley and Rita twice on successive trips to Alton Towers. However it is only now in this last month or so that I've been exploring ride and theme park videos that I'm wishing things had gone differently and I could have joined my peers on bigger rides if it hadn't been for the marketing of Thirteen and later the Smiler (and it's accidents).

Great job Sam !!!! God I love all the accents in all the video clips lol keep up the great work almost to 100k can’t believe that

I think it's a brilliant coaster. A great intro ride for someone who is just getting into coasters, but still thrilling enough for adults too. I just love how it's so different to anything else in the park. The theming works great for me too, considering how UK rides tend to underdeliver on theming. Personally, it gets better for me everytime I ride it.

I went on it once and have never been more disappointed. I don’t even bother queuing for it anymore.

Loving these videos mate.

The scariest part of this ride was when I went on it in the pelting rain, every drop felt like being stabbed by a pin.

I love how unique the ride is but there needs to be more to it. Currently just feels like a tech demo. Enjoyable but short.

A good video, well researched. Interesting to see myself in it (I was one of the boot campers) and a good explanation of how they missed with the 'pitch'. The ride was several months behind schedule - Boot camp was rescheduled and ran only a few days before the park opened. They had originally intended to run it nearly a month before and use footage from it in an online campaign. Instead a hastily edited video popped up on the website weeks after it opened almost as an afterthought. When we rode it (which ISTR was Thursday, two days before it opened) they had us wound up and borderline sleep deprived after nearly two days of shenanigans which significantly affected how we felt about the ride. Morwena is a skilled marketeer and knows exactly how to deliver the message she wants. I do still love the ride and met people who are now some of my best friends and got to see some behind the scenes stuff that I'll cherish forever. For an AT fan, it was an amazing experience.

went to alton with my parents and brother after jubilee weekend, decided to keep 13's gimmick a secret from them and they absolutely loved it, funny how much your experience can differ depending on expectations.

It's not the ultimate rollercoaster but I definitely enjoy it when I do ride. It's one that I'd normally save for a quieter day when the queues are much shorter or if I'm bringing someone to the park for the first time

When I went last year I was queuing for enterprise and it was taking a while so we started talking to the people behind us...the said the had just been on 13 and we asked what it was like...they said they could not say and it was a surprise. We later got on 13 and thought it was quite bad to be honest because it was quite slow. We then thought the ride was over and thought the surprise was how bad it was😅 then it dropped and we left the coaster stunned. I now have a hoodie from the gift shop with the 13 logo on....I nearly pissed myself...not bad

love finding underrated gems of youtube channels

This is my favourite coaster at Scarefest. It’s great scuttling through the Forrest in the dark.

I think there was definitely a marketing 'hype culture' around that period of Alton's development. They were really aggressive in putting out fabricated PR stories what seemed like every other week, and I think Thirteen was pretty much the last hurrah of their mindset at the time. Enthusiasts at the time will remember things like the Baby coaster, cloud bursting to control the weather and high heel metal detectors as just a few examples of the stories they released back then.

Exactly what you said. Not a bad family coaster but due to the hype-a huge letdown.

I'm gonna have to make a trip to Britain some day just to go to Alton Towers.

We went on this not knowing anything about it beforehand. When we went into the false dock just before the drop, I thought it had finished and that the ride had been a little underwhelming. The drop and backwards part took me completely by surprise, and I remember laughing hysterically. Even though it's not as 'scary', or 'thrilling' as things like nemesis, it was definitely one of the most fun rides that day.

I visited Alton Towers in 2012, after not being in the country for 10 years so had no idea what the ride was. I loved it. Great theming and a fun twist.

Please do one on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Ride and one on the bubble ride at Chessington and the London Dungeon.

The bubble ride was my first roller coaster :(

Overselling it is good in the short term but can piss people off long term. Not sure how many people were mad enough not to come back for that reason

I got to ride the Verbolten at Bush Gardens Williamsburg and had no idea about the drop part so my husband and I nearly had a heart attack;) that ended up being one of our favorite coasters in the park that day, cool to learn the history of the first one.

"that ride was a bit timid" sums up the park really, except nemisis and smiler.

Unrelated to the video, but who else thinks that a thrill ride themed around DOOM would be amazing? I think about it a lot

@@thecinematicmind If it was themed around Doom 3 then yes, but certainly not the new games, the balls to the wall action in Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal fits a thrill ride

It's still a great ride eitherway

thank you good sir! see i love Thirt13n but i also know that people considered it a dissapointment but had no idea why, it's a great ride. I've been looking for an explenation for why this would be and now i have it! I missed most of the hype, other than the awesome advert and the fact that there was a pre-and-post 9pm version.

Thirteen os personally my favourite ride at Alton towers the first drop still catches you out I enjoy the technicalities of how a coaster works and thirteen is a technical wonder so cleverly completed

I live nowhere near Alton Towers, and regional TV rarely shows Alton Towers ads here, but I remember this campaign vividly. It was one of the most aggressive marketing campaigns I can remember, up there with the Crazy Frog back in the day.

I've ridden a drop coaster (Verbolten) and it absolutely scared the crap out of me when it dropped. It was one of the best rides I've ever ridden. I had absolutely NO idea what was going to happen when the train stopped in the darkness.
