    Awesome vid! It's nice to see what Americans think of our parks :-) it's funny, I've always loved Alton Towers but your video made me really appreciate how awesomely themed the whole park is, from the queue lines to the music to each coaster having its own particular storyline etc... Much better than the majority of Six Flags with their 'parking lot coasters'! Mind you, sometimes I think I would probably swap a bit of theming in return for getting the size/length of some of your coasters!! But that's why I go out to Magic Mountain every couple of years for a ' top-up'!

      Peanut Turner I agree man. I live nearish to Alton Towers and I wouldn’t trade the whole experience for the world. However, I am lucky enough to have been to Cedar Point and my god I’d love a park like that here

    sub terror i can tell you was AMAZING! i dont get scared on coasters but sub terror... i came off a little shakey!. little scary haha whats better is you cant see anything appart from the egg! the sub terror is still closed to this day and its rumored to be re furbished and rumored to be scrapped all together. they wont say officially whats happening with it. great vlog! its my all time fave park. and the smiler is an epic ride. its stole my top spot from oblivion haha. good to see amerians come over to visit! The wicker man (SW8) is also so so amazing! best theming and ride experience ive ever seen. not to mention the pre show! the roller coaster restaurant also has a small scale model of the wickerman on the wall above the entrance

    The smiler is an infinitely coaster not a Euro fighter

      It actually is a Eurofighter, IIRC.

    • @shroomyesc
      @shroomyesc 6 років тому +2

      I know I'm late lol but yeah it's a Gerstlauer Infinity, Eurofighters always have either 8 or 6 seats and only one car.

  • @TheMaverick987
    @TheMaverick987 8 років тому +6

    Glad you enjoyed the park. Couple of things you mentioned you didn't know or were not 100% accurate. The smiler is an infinity coaster, not a euro-fighter. Spinball whizzer is not a wild mouse of any sort it's a Maurer sohne spinning coaster. SW8 is confirmed to be a GCI wooden coaster. The plans as you mensioned are available for public viewing but don't show everything. We had something similar for the smiler but the plans didn't show all 14 inversions to hide the record.
    p.s. you wouldn't have had much of a risk riding the rapids. The worst you get is a couple of wet patches on trousers and maybe squirted with water by people offride. It's not a soaker.
    Hope you enjoyed every one of the parks you visited over here!

    Love the video as I do all your content and think it's great you enjoyed your visit to the uk and especially alton towers. I don't live too far from the park and although as you mentioned there have been cut backs since last year I'm sure in the future alton towers will keep improving and get the revenue it deserves. Keep up the amazing and look forward to seeing more of your content

    I love how they did the track for Nemesis :) At first I thought it was rusted because it was built in 1994, but it was meant to have that rusty feel to match the great theme :) And Th13teen is also awesome with its theming, which makes the ride

      I did. Wasn't a big fan. Felt very six flagsy to me. I also caught the park on a very bad bad, Ghost Train-Stealth-Flying Fish down all day. Major coasters opened late. Other rides up and down for maintenance. Plus it was hot and busy

    Th13teen probably has the best theming at this park, although Galactica has some pretty good theming, Nemesis has awesome theming too, but Th13teen takes the cake for this park in terms of their coasters that have theming. Intamin did a great job with it :)

    • @Rancord123
      @Rancord123 5 років тому

      Tony Kim The Smiler And X-Sector as a whole has the best theming. With TH13TEEN and the Dark Forest, Rita is just put in their with no explanation just because it was a thrill rollercoaster and it would have been a waste of money to take it out

  • @TonyKimtheamusementparkfan

    The Smiler is actually one of the few Infinity Coasters by Gerstlauer. I thought it was a Euro-fighter, but apparently it's called an Infinity Coaster.

      For theming and the best parks overall it has to be the Disney & Universal parks.
      The parks I would put in the tier right below that:
      Busch Gardens Tampa & Williamsburg
      Silver Dollar City
      Dollywood
      Cedar Point

      Jack Sheikra, Valravn, and Griffon all have 200 ft or more of a drop compared to Oblivion's 180. Also, don't forget that Oblivion was the first dive machine by B&M so they were testing out the concept.

    okay! Incoming offensive joke!****do not read if you can't take it****
    When the legend said collision when the car plates at the roller coaster restaurant hit each other the only thing I could think of is 'thank goodness they weren't at the smiler table'... Dont tell me you werent thinking that, cause i know you were... Imagine if there was an empty pot that came down and was then hit by another pot with food in it mid course to the smiler table... (I'm going to hell for this aren't I... ah, it was worth it... and you are coming with me for reading this😈)

    I prefer blackpool pleasure beach by far to Alton towers. But Alton towers is second. The only fantastic ride is Nemisis. The Smiler and oblivion are good but not fantastic. Will you be doing a BPB tour next year.

    • @IntheLoopPodcast

    • @jacobchambers5368
      @jacobchambers5368 7 років тому

      Ellxp it's not that bad. The drop doesn't fell that scary, just don't go in petrified, and just do it, those fairground rides are scarier because they spin, which makes it nauseous, Oblivion doesn't throw you around and you will come of laughing if you do it. When you get there, don't think about it, you are more likely to turn back. Just do it before you get even more nervous.

    I'm going back to Alton Towers in October. That will be the third time. But, the bad thing is that I developed a very bad fear of ghost, all thing creepy and stuff and if I see stuff like that I have a small panic attack with is not fun but I really want to go on thi3teen as now I am tall enough but to walk there you have to go through a creepy pathway where it has fake tombstones soooo yeah whatever I'm going to try and not have a panic attack....

    A fun fact for you yanks visiting Alton Towers. Alton Towers is a national Heritage sites so the rides cannot go over the top of the trees that's why rides like Oblivion go underground

    • @stevebrown1974
      @stevebrown1974 4 роки тому

      And the tallest bits of Rita, Nemesis and Galactica (top of the lift hills in these two coasters) are darker colours than the rest of the track so they don't show from a distance through the trees.
