Good vid. Glad you had a good day, and suprised about the queue times during school holidays. We are there in two weeks. Fingera crossed we have as good of a time as you guys did.
Great vlog.. Stephen is fantastic for the channel. Not been to towers for 20 years. Because of the vid I have booked for next week.. Que times was putting me off.. Will have dinner in woodcutters.
@@yourexperienceguide cheers mate. I'm going to pleasure beach on Saturday so will see which I enjoy the most. Stephen has vast knowledge which can only add. It makes the vlogs interesting from a different perspective. And u know I'm hard to please. Lol.
Great Vlog Scott, you did the Rides how i do them every time. always find doing Nemesis 1st for instant 4rides within a HR & Galactica , then move on around the park & for your food u can never go wrong with Nemesis Area "GENERATOR" for the Chicken its Lush, or on them busy days going to X-Position Food X Sector for your Fish & chips or Sausage & Chips, & for your Sausage & chips its only £9 + Discount Pass Holders is a Bargain they are realy Nice.. tc Guys 👍
Excellent vlog. Good to see Stephen become happy and positive 'Technical Steve'. You're right about not sugar coating your comments, if it's bad you say it's bad, you tell it like it is. It was good that you also did your day in a different order to mix things up, it stops you getting that Déjà vu feeling. 👍♻
I really hope Project Ocean has been delayed because they've decided to knock down Cloud Cuckoo Land, The Dungeons and The Burger Kitchen to make one big new area as it has been needed for so long now! You could probably get away with building a new dark ride in the building of The Dungeons and refreshing the Burger Kitchen... But Cloud Cuckoo Land really needs knocking down and starting again. I would love to see them build something to fit in with the Towers behind it and keeping Hex to fit in with it too.
I usually try and avoid the school holidays but looking at the ride wait times I might have to pay a visit before the end of the holidays. 8pm I think for close isn't bad at all compared to Blackpool which is 6pm and Blackpool has thousands of guests on tap. Still can't work out why some of these parks don't do after 4pm tickets at a reduced rate to bring in people who have finished work or for night rides sure they would do well.
We had the kids burgers at rollercoast restaurant on Friday. My son wouldn’t eat his as he said it “was bland”. It’s a shame as it’s a great experience in the restaurant. We stayed over and the sausages at splash landings breakfast I can only describe as interesting. I have had much better at a Travelodge. The pizza pasta place was good. Park staff were great and the park was very clean and tidy. Can’t wait to come back.
Great vid as usual! I can’t believe how quiet it was for you in the school holidays. This is really convincing me to go gold or platinum next year. The school holidays scared me when i was choosing my silver pass 😂 cheers fellas!
Nemmy really needs the blood streams back to complete the look, the ride looks so bare without them. You just see it going through tunnels of muddy water like a construction side and dried up streams. So sad looking and it really detracts from the ride..... Also the ride has a weird rattle it never had before and people downplay it, but it went 20+ years without that. I hope Towers can improve upon it this year as they did with Alton Manor and I'm guessing Thorpe will be doing to Hyperia as well as it looks incomplete too.
I am looking forward to Scarefest this year I don't mind if the Altonville Mine Tours and The Attic return with some changes. Don't forget Terror of the Towers What Lies Within Lasted next year. The most curious one for me is the Alton Towers Dungeon one for they may give us a hint at what the ride may turn into next after The Dungeons
I always feel you guys are honest and straightforward - never come across as Debbie Downers! Usually people who have a park bias themselves are the ones who moan at honest vloggers because they are not seeing their own bias 😅
Damn 5 minute wait for nemmy and galactica in school holidays on a weekend?! Hope I get same luck when I go to Thorpe next month after kids are back in school.
I would say reserve judgement on the new Scarefest Mazes till they are open can't make a true opinion until we experience them they could be more intense then Sub Species you never know.
Scott I know this vlog was about Towers, my question is, "what's the food like for value at Thorpe?. As I'm going there for the 1st time at Halloween. Is it worth leaving the park as staying overnight, and finding something close by?...brill vlog as always 👌🏽
@yourexperienceguide Nope. It's smooth but the noise will get in people's heads and make it "rough". Shame as you can hear it on your video over the roar 🙈 Maybe it's something to do with it being sandfilled and the track can't dull the vibrations as much?
I wish someone like your selfs would dig deep and look into the RAP passes and maybe even get opinions of users and how it compares to the likes of Blackpools easy pass
100% however I think it really needs some publicity from someone or anyone who’s willing to standup for people who need the system to work. There is loads of groups slagging the system and even my first hand experience using it has been truly awful from Merlin.
Hope you all had a good day your vlogs are always amazing🙏🏻
Great video as always! Very informative. Subbed.
Good vid. Glad you had a good day, and suprised about the queue times during school holidays. We are there in two weeks. Fingera crossed we have as good of a time as you guys did.
Thank you and have a great time
god damn when it goes around especially around downwards into the vertical loop it has a roar that i can argue may be betger than the old roar

Oh my days I hope it goes well 🤞🏼
I agree about Stephen, we’ve been mates for nearly 20 years but his previous job prevented any channel involvements.

@@manchester1972 You might see us on Saturday, currently undecided about going though.
only 10 minutes in but the colour grading on your shots of the rides is great they're really popping

Looks like you had an epic time. Can see Galactica slowing on the lift in your outro
Is that you technical Steve?
Great stuff , can’t wait to go on Nemesis, not missed a year since it opened in 94 🥺🧱👍🏽
Great vlog guys!

Looks like you had a great day! I Like that you include the ride times 2!
It was great thank you
nice vlog 👍 just got back from 2 days at alton, i'm exhausted
Thank you
Great vid as usual! I can’t believe how quiet it was for you in the school holidays.
This is really convincing me to go gold or platinum next year. The school holidays scared me when i was choosing my silver pass 😂 cheers fellas!
Twice now we’ve been lately and it’s been quiet, get onto the gold pass next year mate 😅
praying its quiet when i go next week, last time i went i got on 3 rides: wickerman, octonauts, runaway minetrain
i was there that day! i saw you inbetween curse at alton manor and katanga canyon

Any chance you could do a video talking about the ultimate fireworks vip package and if you think it’s worth the cost or not

It’ll probably be another family friendly maze to replace Darkest Depths

Thank you, no point lying about the day

Have a great one 🎢
@@yourexperienceguide Thanks dude! Can't wait to get on Hyperia, looks amazing from the POV's.
What was your que times like am going tomorrow (23/08) Friday and nervous about que times
You think it be busy?
I would say reserve judgement on the new Scarefest Mazes till they are open can't make a true opinion until we experience them they could be more intense then Sub Species you never know.
Doubtful, but let’s see
Unpopular comment but after riding this then inferno the next day I prefer inferno . Great having a chat with you guys
Inferno is definitely better
I prefer Nemesis, what do you guys prefer more about Inferno? Love the videos.
I'm going Alton towers soon I don't know if you can help me but what rides are plus size friendly im nervous I'll hardly get on anything
Scott I know this vlog was about Towers, my question is, "what's the food like for value at Thorpe?. As I'm going there for the 1st time at Halloween. Is it worth leaving the park as staying overnight, and finding something close by?...brill vlog as always 👌🏽
There’s Burger King and KFC if all else fails at Thorpe, we normally use those or pizza pasta
Visited laat week and the rattle was horrible. You could hear it as well, more so around the vertical loop and down the helix
No denying it’s making a noise, but it’s not rough
@yourexperienceguide Nope. It's smooth but the noise will get in people's heads and make it "rough".

@@deanmarsden3360 not sure, Nemesis Inferno doesn’t do it.
They’ll hopefully find the cause over the winter.
I am in the back the girl that runs away
I waited 2.5hrs last week to get on the smiler and it said 50 minutes
Great vlog. But why is hex different to any other madhouse. Not convinced it will open this year!
Thank you, and not sure
Looks like Stephen broke the curse. He didn't cause any ride shut downs this time!! 😂
Always lol
why did they get rid of vr on galactica?
It was rubbish
Can't handle The Smiler, too bad.
@@user-zp4ge3yp2o haha handle it? I’ve been on the tallest coaster in the world plus 500+ other roller coasters and Smiler doesn’t make the top 100.
What happened to Mark? He used to regularly appear on the channel
You’ll see lots of Mark in October 😊🎃
Do you have a new camera? The picture looks smoother
Thank you, but no 😅 I’ve been spending more time colour correcting shots than I used to do.
hello scot
Hello
I wish someone like your selfs would dig deep and look into the RAP passes and maybe even get opinions of users and how it compares to the likes of Blackpools easy pass
It’s a touchy subject that can cause offence if discussed without the right info
100% however I think it really needs some publicity from someone or anyone who’s willing to standup for people who need the system to work. There is loads of groups slagging the system and even my first hand experience using it has been truly awful from Merlin.

Edit: Preventing These Kids From Saying First
Lol 😆
maybe you dont feel the nemesis rattle because you fit more snug into the restraints shall we say
Plenty of room between me and restraint but nice try 👍
Only food you should be fettering is from eastern express. Towers food is over priced Lidl frozen food.
