The restriction really gives the park its character, while limiting them I think it is a really good thing. Awesome video Dan, amazing as usual!

It really does! Thanks so much 😊

ride concept 'journey to the centre of the earth' giga coaster at AT that goes deep underground a 300 ft tube straight down, followed by a vertical lift back to the surface with themeing and interesting things to look at as you 'return to earth'

I don’t know if this would be a good or a bad thing, it could mean we’d end up with much more mundane rides, but they would be objectively better. At least our rides are unique now

SW10 to be themed to a 500ft tall tree so it blends in and doesn't disturb the locals.

I feel like the tree line rule also helps to give more immersion in the different lands; the atmosphere in the Dark Forest is so different from X-Sector, in part due to there being no signs of the outside world except for the pathways. Really helps sell rides like Wicker Man and Nemesis as themed.

I do feel the biggest drawback to this height rule AT have is it makes the rides quite short in comparison to rides at other parks in the states for example. The Smiler is an exception as it’s a bit longer.

That’s just UK rides in general.

Nah towers just need to plant a 300ft redwood tree then they can build up to that height

id love to see them build even further under ground to make a taller but still compact ride, i think it could be pretty cool

ooh i’m early:0 i absolutely love these videos they fuel my every single day, the titles and the thumbnails hooking you in and then once you’re watching the video is completely different to the way the thumbnail and title comes across and it’s amazing, also to say you are an extremely underrated youtuber is awesome

I don't think a pretzel loop would have been way to advanced for its time considering the first B&M flying coaster with a pretzel loop opened a month later than Galactica.

Great idea for a video Dan 😎. What’s that oblivion clone called and what park is it in?

My solution to the problem....plant taller trees, or do some genetic modification to the trees to make them taller

Thunder looper might have stuck around a bit longer aswell

Hey dan, i was chatting to a towers employee yesterday about a few things, they said nemesis (reborn) will be completed by the end of next month and the more breaking news is that project horizon will be SW9

Anyone else like REALLY REALLY looked at the proposals for the new ride. In the smallest of fonts Alton towers says they are planting oak trees, yew trees and wellingtonia. Wellingtonia is a GIANT SEQUOIA tree and grows quickly to the size of the statue of liberty :D

6:30 I would not say that advanced personally given that Superman-Ultimate Flight would open at Six Flags Over Georgia three weeks later which was the first to feature the pretzel loop

Video idea: What if Thorpe park could only build under the treeline

The Smiler would probably not exist as the park wouldn’t need to break the inversion record for marketability

Maybe is Alton Towers made a mountain with cool stuff on and planted a tree on top, maybe could they build higher? I love your cool videos btw. let's get this guy to 50k subscribers!

Cool vid!

I’m glad that Towers have the tree line restriction. It forces them to improvise and innovate when building any major coaster. A lot of other parks are more focused on “taller = better” when that necessarily isn’t the case. Cool, you may have a 200ft+ coaster. Does it do anything unique compared to others of the same height? Not always. Towers always have to ensure both the layout and terrain work hand in hand and that’s what I love about it.

I can't really see Oblivion changing that much. John Wardley's vision was to be entering the ground face-first, which no other dive coaster has done since. On the other hand, had there NOT been the height restriction, then we might never have got the B&M dive coaster - coasters could have just got steeper in the way that RMC rides feature 90° drops.

I imagine Oblivion without treeline restrictions would just be Oblivion but taller and maybe with something tall on the other side of the drop like a top-hat or something.

0:24 huge nemesis crane

Considering the first superman clone opened a few weeks after Galactica, it could have definitely had a Pretzel loop, (Tbh it would probably look like a superman clone as they share a ton of elements, minus the Pretzel loop and taller drop)

Good point! I forgot rollercoasters outside the UK existed 😭

AT just have to dig deeper if they want taller rides, which I'm fine with, makes it unique.

The smiler actually only had two lift hills because of the height restrictions

oblivion would be really scary if it wasn't under ground because when it is underground you don't realise how far the drop is because you can't see it.

I've never been on Nemesis before- I'm hoping it is good when it reopens and when I ride on it. (It's too far away- 4 hours away, in the car.)

I honestly think it would take away from the atmosphere. And make the towers, gardens and lawns look less quaint. But “it would be greatly appreciated”never gets old 😂

Thank you!! That’s a great idea!! 🔥

What the small population of residents in Alton needs to look at is how much money towers brings into there area in comparison to what they bring. It needs taller rides without a doubt . Went there few months ago again and got bored super quick

I would imagine that with Alton tower’s nature to break world records, they would have made the tallest rollercoaster in the uk one of their records a while ago for some secret weapon.

Phantasialand has much the same (and even tighter) restrictions and they are way waaaaay better at it! Look at Taron, Alton could build something that awesome if they wanted to, but they like to faff around with world firsts with absolutely pants short layouts.

Dan what about a video where u talk about if Thorpe park had a height restriction

You should do what if thope park has the tree line restriction

if they didn’t have a higher restriction we could have a B&M Giga

Interesting vlog, bigger isn’t always better

6:29 the pretzel loop debuted the same year

Watching this on the way to Alton towers!

You should do this in Planet Coaster.

In an answer ..."the Ropers would be pissed"

This is the funniest coaster video I’ve ever seen, it’s not even meant to be funny 😭

the rides are still great even if they cant build above the trees.

It's called Alton "Towers" for a reason. Some of the rides should most definitely be much taller.

As someone who never was at AT, do you recommend the park to someone who mainly visited all parks in my home country germany? Ok nemesis and smiler are probably the best rides. But beside that: any coaster that is worth to go there? Like galactica, oblivion, wicker man, thirteen etc? And when is the best time to visit the park? I dont like waiting hours in the line for a 20 sec ride :/

Life hack; built a massive wooden pillar at flight level 10 and put the old earls branch at the top. That's part of a tree so surely they now have a 1000ft ceiling to work with! Or just stick it on top of Nemmy's crane, they both seem to be round about the same height.

I think the smilers compactness gives it more of a hipmotizatoin feel

I bet Alton towers would've carried 'tallest ride' title.

This would actually work if Alton Towers planted some Giant Redwood Trees around the park

Ngl i wanna see them try to make a 60ft tall RMC that uses terrain, would be interesting to see what they'd do

U could do same video but reverse what if Thorpe park had height restrictions

What if Thorpe park had a height restriction?😮

Some rides like Rita would definitely benefit from this

I can think of only one ride that ever went above the tree line. That was the thunder looper and that was removed because of that very reason.

To put it simply. John wardley would/would’ve had a lot of fun 😂

The smiler would of had 100 inversions!.. wait no.. 3000!

I’d like to keep the smiler, nemesis, and galactica exactly the same. Exchange Rita for something like lech coaster peaking over the trees. Swap Wickerman for a huge 200ft RMC. A taller version of oblivion with an immelman instead of the overbank. Have thirteen as something similar to Gotham city escape but with a drop track element down onto the swing launch (the downtime would be worth it).

I feel like Oblivion would be a good fit to be the tallest in the park so it's not a bad idea to have it mostly above ground in my opinion.

If anyone wants to know ritas unique feature is the first launch coaster without a top hat

It would be better if they went above the tree limits so you can get better views on ride but because they can’t go above the trees that’s what makes the rides so unique!

Unfortunately there is not

If they were able to build above the trees they would've probably broken the big ones height record many years ago with a B&M Hyper.

Their next Secret Weapon will be marketed as 'the tallest roller coaster within the tree line height restriction'! Although that sounds something six flags would really do

a theme park in car park in America I think Blackpool wants words with you on that

I think most of the rides would have been totally different. The concepts were largely based around the height restrictions

nice vids

I feel like even without restrictions collosos would probely be bigger than wicker man

ON WM YOU COULD MAKE IT THEMED SO IT COULD GO HAYWHIRE AND RETURNES

If a B&M Dive Coasters had no inversions, then they’ll have chamshell lap bars instead of the over-the-shoulder restraints.

Randomly came into my head, ever since wicker Man came out. The majority of times (roughly 3 times) I am to go into the room where you watch the backstory, my bloody arse gets properly pinched. But because it's so dark I haven't got a clue who it was. I can't look around to see if I could find the dirty bastard anyway because everybody is charging for the queue to be first on! 😂

They just need to introduce some Canadian redwoods to the area which would greatly increase the coaster restriction height without them being seen Will need to wait a good few hundred years before they're fully grown though :/

Nice

0:43 0:48 why is this funny😂

i feel like the tree line restriction pushes the ride designers to another level and without it i dont think the alton towers rides would have the uniqueness they have!

Think they should have planted some redwoods back in the 80’s
