I was at Drayton on Saturday. Just a heads up, it was very busy. The Wave was on one train and ops were very slow. If you're lucky, the ride host may allow you to choose your own seat on Gold Rush.
Excellent Vlog. Towers should put more simular entertainment on all year round. You're right about the staff shortages, there are loads of vacancies on the Thorpe Park and Alton Towers website, but it's a problem a lot of theme parks are having.
Thanks for watching as always Richie, much appreciated. They really should, there is such a huge gap from the start of the season right through to Oktoberfest. Maybe I’ll hang up my UA-cam hat and apply 😅
Wickerlad!! Of course I would have known who you were! The name Jake threw me 😆 Sorry buddy, great to finally meet you and I hope you had an amazing day!
@@_adventureplanet - Thats okay haha don't worry! Great video and yeh the entertainment is great and back again next weekend with another stay in the hotel after a problem this weekend so i got a free stay!
Great video. Really enjoy watching your content since stumbling across one of your Drayton vlogs when preparing for a visit. Out of interest, do you attend the parks on your own, or go with others? Ive always been tempted to do a solo visit, but not sure I could manage it for a whole day
Thanks so much for watching, it’s really appreciated 😊 Yes I’m always on my own when I visit the parks. When vlogging, that’s probably a good thing as it can take up a lot of the day, but I’ve been solo travelling for a long time now anyway so I’m used to it 👍🏻
Oh no! Sorry about that! I hope you had a great day regardless? Say hi to your daughter for me and hopefully we’ll get another opportunity for a photo soon!
@user-ue6pk7gr7j I will certainly try to be. I only have Scarefest planned as Alton is quite a long drive for me but I usually always try to make those events unless I’m out of the country, or if the events are particular poor like Christmas was last year 🙁
41:53 I'm actually not too upset that they're doing a day of the dead type maze since the statues either side of the building kinda look like something from day of the dead anyways, plus it's kindove nice they're going with something more light hearted considering the coloured barrels
Absolutely. I think something with a bit more of a lighter tone will be great! We already have a new intense thrill maze this year with Compound and I’m sure we’ll get another one next year in the old Darkest Depths location 👍🏻
Thank you for mentioning the coaster availability. It was awful and my son and his friend were stuck dangling toward the ground on Galactica for 20 minutes! The entertainment was phenomenal though 👏🏻😍🎤🍺🥨🌭
Good vlog.I also went on Friday. Wicker Man, Galactica, and Rita opened later. Single rider for Spinball Whizzer, TH13TEEN, were great. Practically walk on. I was very happy to get a toasted marshmallow. I did enjoy the shows.
55:13 if you watch theme park worldwide's vlog then you can see they encountered alton bear with an oktoberfest costume on however there was no darwin the dodo
Another great vlog - and thanks again for saying hi 😁
Thanks so much for watching, and no problem at all. It’s always a pleasure meeting fans of the channel. I hope you had a great time at the resort 🍻
Brilliant vlog mate
Thanks so much Keiran 🙌
Looking forward to this. I thought Alton was a lot better than Thorpe this year! Hope you had a great day.
It certainly had a much better offering this year!

It was great meeting you yesterday buddy on the lawns after the entertainment had finished

Nice hoodie 👀
Haha. I’m very happy with it I have to say!
Nooooo I didn’t realise you were there yesterday. We were too, my daughter is so disappointed, she wanted a picture ☹️
Oh no! Sorry about that! I hope you had a great day regardless? Say hi to your daughter for me and hopefully we’ll get another opportunity for a photo soon!
@@_adventureplanet She’s been gutted since finding out 😩 We will be at the fireworks and Christmas event. Will you be there then?

Thanks so much for watching. I really don’t know what’s happened, it was great at the start of the season. Glad you enjoyed Oktoberfest though 🍻 🍻
Great vlog mate unlike ones think there all that love watching ur videos
Will always appreciate you watching Chris. Thanks so much 👍🏻
Interesting. I went Friday and pretty much all rides were running perfectly. If you were there on a weekend then it probably was busier though 😭
It definitely wasn’t a good day for ops sadly. This was filmed on a Saturday and it was a very busy day for the park.
@_adventureplanet that would explain it. Great vlog no. No sign of Alton Bear on Friday either 🥺
We’ll have to make do with Alpine Horn Man 😆
@@_adventureplanet 😅😅😅

Ahh ok - maybe he was just hiding from me, or I just missed him! ☹️
Project Ocean will be called Toxicator
Is that not a licensed hard dance festival?? 😄
@@_adventureplanet They have put a Trademark on the name.
3rd
Tge actors were better yesterday with tgehorn man back as well as hansel and grettle
That’s good to hear. Although, as long as alpine horn man is there, I’m happy 😅
