Oh dear. I’m old. I was there for Nemesis opening. It was amazing. Drummers to keep us occupied, rivers running red, amazing times. Didn’t realise you were SO YOUNG!!!! Keep up the wicked content, just subscribed and loving your stuff. ❤
First visit to Towers that I remember was about 2004 or around then. I remember toyland tours, the spider web ice skating show, the dung heap, old mcdonalds farm, the black hole, the chocolate volcano events, ATTV show and of course the original corkscrew! god i feel old now 😂
Hey Dan, it's mental that by the start of the season you only had half the subscribers! Well, I guess that means you'll get your (absolutely deserved) first playbutton next year and you'll surpass TPW in 2026. I think we all can agree that you are the funniest and due to that also the most entertaininh theme park youtuber... ..."in the world" 😂😂😂😂
I have been Alton Towers pretty much every year since I was young so very nostalgic for me I remember the Flume, Twirling Toadstool, Wobble World, Ice Age 4D Cinema and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Seeing Ripsaw and Nemesis Sub Terra. And I actually did play on Space Adventures at one point.
Yesssss! I got so excited when I saw this notification. I’ve been waiting for u do the back in time thing at towers ever since the Thorpe one. Oh digitalised Daniel you are a legend
I’ve only been to Alton Towers recently, but my parents have fond memories of going decades ago and riding on a log flume and a black hole indoor ride that sadly no longer exist. I was able to spot the separated piece of coast track at the entrance, but I had no idea just how much had been taken down. It’s things like this that make you wish you could time travel, to save old rides from going.
This reminds me of when I went to Alton Towers and a shark was set loose on then Flume and 27 people were violently ripped apart. And then I went to Burger King.
Dude ripsaw was great! Still sour they got rid of it tbh… Submission was fun, but yeahhh it could be a little painful. The harness would come down and you’d be like ahhh it’s okay?? Then the hydraulics kicked in and it would go even tighter ! Every time you’d hear this “ahhhhhgh” from everyone 👀😂😂
I'm 38, first went to AT around 1995/1996. aged... no idea, 11 or 12 or something. I have very fond memories of it, and it actually feeling magical, especially walking around kantanya canyon with the Indiana style music (their OG theme, not the plinky plonky one they use now) I got to ride Blackhole (jet star 2 in a tent) the only regrets were not riding Thunderlooper and Energizer (as they where there when I was there!, Think I would have been high enough to ride too) I also remember the swan boats! although even back then I thought they looked a bit boring lol but yeah, devastated when they took away Blackhole (stupid decision AT!!! tut tut) I also lucky enough to remember riding Ripsaw a few years later. end of the day, it's such a shame they took away so many rides without telling you why they did it. ohwell, I guess the plus is they make room for new rides! As for Nemmy! still my number1 coaster in the UK! I need to go again! not been to alton towers since.... well, since Wickerman was in the plans!
Oh I’m old, last time I went to Alton towers I was a young teenager and they were just installing ripsaw, so I never went on it either 😂 Im going to go this year and so many rides have come and gone, I’ve missed out on so much!
I remember going to AT on a school trip and being too scared to ride the Thunder Looper, and by the time I'd got over that fear it had been removed. Still regret that.
i remember going to alton towers for the first time and i was like 3 i vividly remember it bc of that corpse thing outside of duel. never been the same since. i mean it was great and all but i had to name it steve and laugh otherwise i would have probably cried. every time. traumatic
I remember wooden huts at the entrance to the car park that you paid at. Small funfair rides and horse rides. Can anyone else remember the concrete toboggan ride!
Another gr8 video! You should do this now, and tell us what it will be like in 10 years, Im not saying you should predict, I WANT YOU to talk to us from the future and tell us exactly whats what grrr
4:24 I belive this is them ruibiling it after it burned down? Correct me if im wrong but the skyride was a Tussauds thing and has been in the park a while. It was caused by a faulty vending machine!
I am a huge sonic the hedgehog fan so to my surprise, to hear I missed out on sonic spinball was quite sad. Although I do hope Alton Towers and SEGA collaborate again at some point
Surely your not 18?? You look at least 30!! 😜😂 Also, im not sure how I feel knowing you didn’t have the minerals to ride ripsaw or submission! Feel like we’ve all been lied to!! 😂
@@DigitalDan Aww only a nipper still!! Cuuute!! Haha. What changed in the short years you have been present on earth for you to not be a wuss anymore?? 🙌🏻
Honestly I love Spinjam, it's the Waltzer I hate even though it's my favourite flat ride. It's just the biggest disappointment, they run that like ass.
Yeah I did this one time, but I traveled so far back in time that it was the 17th century and I ended up marrying a relative of the earl of shrewsbury, but then a branch fell off the chained oak and I died. Whoops
BET YOU CANT REMEMBER PAYING NY TJE CAR FULL AND PARKING IN FRONT OF THE LAKE WHERE TOWERS STREET IS NOW..............and the dolphins in a pool over on the right possibly where the kids park is now maybe where the river ride is
Does anyone else remember when Alton Towers had concerts? Like P!nk and The Black Eyed Peas played at Alton Towers around 2010ish
I didn't go but I've heard about them, yes
Yes! I went to the one Olly Murs performed at!
Yes! Never went to one though 🥲😂
I remember the rick astley concert for alton towers 30th lol
Yes my aunts always went to watch them

Madness! It’s all so cool to look back at! 🔥

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! Hope you’re doing well! 🙏🏻
I’m ancient because the first time I went was 1990ish - I remember Thunder Looper, Corkscrew, The Black Hole & The Flume
I still have my driving school license from 2009 and I remember going to Mutiny Bay when it first opened and the Cloud Cuckoo Land McDonalds.
Aged me so much watching this. I was there when Th13teen and The Smiler first opened 😅

ooh! Dan uploaded!!
AHH! DAN UPLOADED!!!!!!!!
(love the channel)
Thanks so much!! 😊🙏🏻
Oh this is so nostalgic. I remember i went when i was 4 and it looked just like this.
I'm 38, first went to AT around 1995/1996. aged... no idea, 11 or 12 or something. I have very fond memories of it, and it actually feeling magical, especially walking around kantanya canyon with the Indiana style music (their OG theme, not the plinky plonky one they use now)
I got to ride Blackhole (jet star 2 in a tent)
the only regrets were not riding Thunderlooper and Energizer (as they where there when I was there!, Think I would have been high enough to ride too)
I also remember the swan boats! although even back then I thought they looked a bit boring lol
but yeah, devastated when they took away Blackhole (stupid decision AT!!! tut tut)
I also lucky enough to remember riding Ripsaw a few years later.
end of the day, it's such a shame they took away so many rides without telling you why they did it. ohwell, I guess the plus is they make room for new rides!
As for Nemmy! still my number1 coaster in the UK!
I need to go again! not been to alton towers since.... well, since Wickerman was in the plans!
The sky ride had a fire in 2009 that's why it's looking slightly burnt out and incomplete 👍
Oh right wasnt aware of that my bad! Hope everyone was okay when it happened! 🙏🏻
@@DigitalDan yh no guests were injured luckily it was just the station that fell to the fire
Yoooo. Nice vid, also when the smiler popped up I though it traveled through time lol
Haha thank you! 😊
Dan is such a legend
I was actually watching your Thorpe park version of this earlier today 😂😂 you should do a Blackpool Version next!
Ayy what a coincidence! And for sure! 👀😂
WOOOO LET'S GO DAN KEEP UP THE CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!!
I wish I had ridden ripsaw to it’s the flat ride I wish I could ride the most 😢
Oh I’m old, last time I went to Alton towers I was a young teenager and they were just installing ripsaw, so I never went on it either 😂 Im going to go this year and so many rides have come and gone, I’ve missed out on so much!
congrats on 28k
Thank you!!
I remember going to AT on a school trip and being too scared to ride the Thunder Looper, and by the time I'd got over that fear it had been removed. Still regret that.
I do, the cost to get in was 4 pounds, and the cork screw had just opened.Where oblivion now stands there was a twin track one person toboggan run.
HAPPY 30K SUBS!!
4:26 this is because the sky ride station at cloud cuckoo land caught fire in 2009, and got rebuit.
i remember going to alton towers for the first time and i was like 3 i vividly remember it bc of that corpse thing outside of duel. never been the same since. i mean it was great and all but i had to name it steve and laugh otherwise i would have probably cried. every time. traumatic
I remember wooden huts at the entrance to the car park that you paid at.
Small funfair rides and horse rides.
Can anyone else remember the concrete toboggan ride!
Last time I went to Alton towers was the year 13 was opened and those tickets booth was what was in use
Another gr8 video! You should do this now, and tell us what it will be like in 10 years, Im not saying you should predict, I WANT YOU to talk to us from the future and tell us exactly whats what grrr
5:03 it had me dead 😂😂😂
Yes you are doing this
Yes Finally
my mum used to have school trips to alton towers and she remembers riding corckscrew and the black hole
You probably won’t sea this but I’m your biggest fan ever since I watched you videos I loved rollercoaster more and more thank you
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it! 😊
Omg you responded
4:24 I belive this is them ruibiling it after it burned down? Correct me if im wrong but the skyride was a Tussauds thing and has been in the park a while. It was caused by a faulty vending machine!
Oh mad wasn’t aware until just now, and didn’t realise that was the cause! Hope anyone present was okay! 👍🏻
5:02 There’s This Peace Of Metal Going H A H A-
I am a huge sonic the hedgehog fan so to my surprise, to hear I missed out on sonic spinball was quite sad. Although I do hope Alton Towers and SEGA collaborate again at some point

i went to alton towers when i was like 11 and i was scared of rita
I love your videos
Same
Thanks guys!! 😊
Love you bro
Love your vids and I wish I could do that
The smiler has always had the "temporarily closed" text underneath for some reason 😂
One fact their was one former operating rollercoaster on google maps and that was the Beastie next to Space Adventures
Enterprise was the roller coaster besides cbb’s land I ever went on I really miss it 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
No enterprise was in X-sector and CBeebies land is not in X-sector
I can’t remember anything I only remember walking under the cork screw remains and THAT WAS IT FROM 2014 WHEN I WAS STILL VERY YOUNG
So nostalgic
Just finished and 😳…..the ending
It’s 2009 and he has Wickerman and Icon posters in the background
Remember when Alton Towers had a 3-D theatre
She’s so quick
No I don’t remember it because I would be in my dads things
This is a great video
You should do one for Chessington and BPB.
Definitely a plan in future! 🔥
Ah yes. N -o- *s* T -a- *l* G -i- *a*
I wasn't born back then... N -o- N -o- *s* T -a- *l* G -i-
Naww im so sad, furuviksparken (my home park) which was the park who took over the black hole… Has now torn it down for good………………. Rip black hole
last time i went on google maps it said that nemesis was open
The sign say Ride into the unknown. Coming in 2010. This is the Same date to 13 opening. In 2010
Surely your not 18?? You look at least 30!! 😜😂 Also, im not sure how I feel knowing you didn’t have the minerals to ride ripsaw or submission! Feel like we’ve all been lied to!! 😂
Yeah I was a wuss haha, and yes I am 18 believe it or not! 😂😂
@@DigitalDan Aww only a nipper still!! Cuuute!! Haha. What changed in the short years you have been present on earth for you to not be a wuss anymore?? 🙌🏻
5:40 I just cried is soo funny
5:03 😂😂😂😂
Why is revolution on the thumbnail💀💀😭😭
Honestly I love Spinjam, it's the Waltzer I hate even though it's my favourite flat ride. It's just the biggest disappointment, they run that like ass.
5:03😂
After 2 years of no going I said to my mum I can’t wait to go on enterprise just to see it wasn’t there
cool video
The reason why the dark forest skyride building looked like that is because it burned down in a fire
I wasn’t aware till after the video! Hope everyone there was okay 👍🏻
Yeah I did this one time, but I traveled so far back in time that it was the 17th century and I ended up marrying a relative of the earl of shrewsbury, but then a branch fell off the chained oak and I died. Whoops
Do you remember when alton towers had that charlie and the chocolate factory ride
You exited for the F1 new season
Can’t wait for Max Verstappen to win his 3rd world championship! 🔥
I saw you at Alton towers
If you traveled back in time why do you have a poster of the wicker man
DANS 19? why did i think he was like 23-24
