The Curse At Alton Manor Opening Day VLOG and Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- The highly anticipated refurbishment of Duel: The Haunted House Strikes Back is here as The Curse At Alton Manor is officially open to the public. Enjoy our The Curse At Alton Manor opening day vlog and ride review!
This dark ride takes guests through the Alton Manor as we follow the dark and twisted story of Emily Alton.
Full review review - www.backtothem...
Emily Alton Story: Left alone in the attic, with nothing but her doll’s house to keep this quiet but curious girl amused. Emily becomes lonely and forgotten, with nothing but the sound of music and laughter of the parties, hosted by her parents to the high of society, echoing through the floors from the grand hall below.
Her hatred grew, fuelled by frustration and bitterness. Dark forces began to surround Emily, becoming a vessel for the evil that has seeped into every corner of the Manor.

A full in depth review will come shortly… I just need to find words to describe this wonderful attraction! UPDATE - here it is - www.backtothemovies.com/the-curse-at-alton-manor-ride-review/
The music for this attraction is creepy but perfect for a setting like this.
@@racheljackson4428 Agreed!
This has made me extremely excited to ride in April! This has absolutely confirmed for me that I’m not watching any pov’s or spoilers before going on
You shouldn't! Enjoy it when you do get to go!
Thanks for getting this uploaded so quickly. I'm bursting at the seams to get on it! I'll be there next week. So happy that it's meeting/exceeding everyone's expectations. Hope you got to give Mr Wardley a high five. 👍
No high five but we are going a Wrexham game together at some point aha
Not only is the Flume duck back, but according to the gravestones outside, his Canon name is finally revealed to be Uncle Duck...huh, go figure.😂😂😂
Uncle Duck aha what a name!
@Lift Hills and Thrills Going to take some time getting use to call him by his 'real' name and not simply as either Flume Duck, Demon Duck or THE Duck...Still, I bet that Duck will traumatise a new generation of park guests now, and everyone is Gangsta until they find out Uncle Duck is about!
Omg Mr Evans I thought I would have to wait till tonight , this is why you are my favourite vlogger ❤
I’v sneakily watched this at work 😂😂
I’m even more excited now you’ve said it’s good , you queued an hour and you are going to queue again , it must be fantastic
Thanks soooooo much for this super early Vlog you’ve made my day ❤
I’m sure I’ll make a good vlog one day 😂 glad you enjoyed it though aha
I've following updates all day and it's great to see so many good reviews from it. Can't wait to experience it inperson somepoint in the future?
I hope so 🤞
@@LiftHillsandThrills I forgot to say that I'm not a fan of queueing aswell but I reckon I will enjoy queueing for this one as I like my Grave yard theming.
The ride is so much better in person, glad they kept a few scenes in there and that last jump scare 😮 hahah really good job Alton towers..
My face was shocked on every ride, the exact same expression every single time aha
Glad it's living up to the hype. I can tell from the bits you showed that this has elements of a world class attraction. Great audio, detailed queue line, the UV writing looks amazing and the staff have themed uniform. Can't wait to try it soon!
It's definitely a much more improved experience but I feel the best is still yet to come!
Can’t wait for my visit tomorrow! Looks absolutely unreal 👀🙌🏻!!!
I can’t word it in physical words so I’ll let my writing take over for a full written review tomorrow aha
I love how the flume duck is in there
Nothing like a rushed opening day vlog 😂
Great to see you and Adam after in the bar 🍺 great review 👻
Thanks Wayne! Lovely to see you too 😊
Can't wait to ride this after such a good advertising campaign.Will be there for 2 days a week on Saturday.
Have an amazing time!
Absolutely loved it! It’s very odd seeing you so positive about something towers have done recently 😂
I’m currently finishing a very long article about it and there’s a few more balanced points that came to me after we went on it a few more times. Evens it up a bit 😂
@@LiftHillsandThrills ah yes that’s more like it! The dead space around halfway through was the main flaw for me so looking forward to reading your thoughts!
@@bundaichicken It's long winded and needs proof reading (even though I still miss A LOT) but here you go - www.backtothemovies.com/the-curse-at-alton-manor-ride-review/
@@LiftHillsandThrills not an issue for me I love a long read, nice one getting it out so quick!
*think im going have go for a Towers visit this year check it out. I never got ride it when it was old haunted house, its always been Duel for me*
There's more to come so I'm told so you might get to visit when all the extra stuff has been added!
Great to see you guys today love the vlogs
And you buddy!
The soundtrack sounds good
Mate it’s good.. I cannot wait to ride this with you and see your reactions
Yep riding it next week ✨
Have a lovely time!
Thx mate
From what I’ve heard, it looks like it’s living up to the hype!!! I don’t think I’ll get to ride it for a month or two though
It is! Needs a tweak or two here and there but it definitely does 😊
Hi Lift Hills and Thrills great video i cannot beleve how cool and creepy the showbuilding of Curse at Alton Manor looks i cannot believe it was once called Dual i like the story i bet the ride was great it is a shame that i cannot travel far i would of love to have gone the theming for the ride looks great like i said awsome video cannot wait for the next one
The theming is definitely a massive step up!
I'm coming fireworks weekend night definitely gonna check this out if I'm lucky may even get to do this twice
Enjoy!
It loooks insanely awsome I can't wait to get the chance to ride it !!! 😱😱😱🦄🦄🦄❤❤❤
Enjoy it when you do!
Looks really good 🔥
Absolutely!
great Vlog . over all its ok,,,, yes there is Dead spots unfinnished parts. but my main problem is ,, they had way to many cars on the ride & the cars in front of you seem to get a full active of projections & you got non at all cause the scenes wouldnt reset themself quick enouth 4tiems went on to see if can get a Scene in Sync & only happend once,, Get them cars of there far to many not spaced out enouth. not the full hype i was expecting tbh. nice setup but came away sad aface ...
I've been told there are more carts on there now (22) compared to Duel (19) and I wasn't too impressed with the distancing between them either for that very reason. Something that could easily be tweaked to improve the overall experience. There's still some things to be added too apparently.
OMG it's busy today sean wow
TELL ME ABOUT IT!!
I stuck out until the queue was a hit smaller so it was a shame I didn’t see you! I thought the queue was amazing, I also hate queuing but it flew by! I loved all the jokey tombstones and the signs telling you the backstory. Hopefully in a few years the pipes for the smoke in the queue were a bit overgrown, but other than that the queue was amazing, especially the last scene with the birthday stuff. As for the ride itself, I don’t want to ruin anything, but the ‘you know what that was a but like another certain ride at the park’ was absolutely immense and so were all of the other effects! Kudos to the guy in the backwards suit tho, he was amazing 😂
I like yourself (as you know) hate queuing so the fact an hour just absolutely flew by because of all the queue line details is great. Those pipes definitely needed some coverage and it looked superb at night, Scarefest is going to look AMAZING around there.
@@LiftHillsandThrills If every queue was like that then Towers would be 5x better
@@TheOfficialSmudgy We said exactly that
Can’t wait to experience this for myself, visiting next week!! Great video mate!!!! 👻👻👻
Thanks for watching 😊
SHOW THE RIDE🤣🤣🤣🤣but the waiting que and you guys was also nice❤️❤️❤️
We'd never spoil the ride it's not fair to those who haven't been on it (although at the same time they shouldn't click the video saying POV) but some idiots have filmed on it today... don't agree with it at all but there's always going to be some plonkers wanting easy views through dodgy shit quality POV's
It might sound silly, but I'm kind of disappointed that they don't sell a mini dolls house of the ride in the gift shop.
I was hoping for more dolls house themed merchandise myself! The mugs / hoodies are quite simplistic
Is that queue line entrance sign the old crypt?
It sure is!
Amazing day Sean (as I write this next to you).
😂😂 long time no see (as I’m walking behind you)
thought i saw you in the queue!
Wave! Rugby tackle me! Say hello if you see me again 😂
@@LiftHillsandThrills 😂
@@LiftHillsandThrills will you be at chessington tomorrow for passholder preview day?!
@@fonix8888 I sadly won’t be! I’ll be at the behind the scenes event at BPB next Sunday though and back at Towers again on Tuesday 😊
Im holding off watching any sneaky internal videos. Feel like the merch should have the curse at alton manor logo on? Everything looks boss though. Amen
It’s cracking mate!
Could I ask please is there live actors in there? If there is I am not telling my daughter lol or she won't go on with me weds 😂
haha there are not, only roaming actors that were around the area for opening day and the ride staff who are dressed up in formal themed attire
The 16 seconds of dead spot, if you listen to the audio it’s you running away from Emily and hiding before the “found you” and going mad you ran away.
Only in one spot.. I didn’t like the other two pitch black sequences there needs to be something there even dimly lit. It’s something many people have brought up and it’s been said that stuff will be added which is great
@@LiftHillsandThrills did you see the old strobe style effect with the flying heads and bats? That’s the only other dark section. They were very dimly lit that my other half missed them first time round.
I’m glad they’re still adding bits.
It’s hands down my favourite dark ride in the country & boarderline in Europe. We’re back again today to try it a couple more times.
@@jameshardiker I didn’t and some effects weren’t working in some places with dark areas not filled in during certain scenes, I think the more I go on it the more I’ll be thinking ‘this can go here, this can go there’
Me and my kids are going tomorrow reckon it will be alright for a 6 and 8 year old ??
It’s a but loud and full on but they should be fine
@@LiftHillsandThrills alright mate nice one 👍🏻 can't wait now 😁
Ride transits have changed back to what they originally was when it was the haunted house yay why did you not film the ride
Filming isn't allowed and why ruin it for everyone? I don't see the point. I'd rather them release POV's a few months down the line but there are some plonkers who filmed on the ride today if you REALLY wanted to watch a blurry, crappy POV that doesn't show even a fragment of how good the ride is
@@LiftHillsandThrills hopefully theme park world wide will post a pov because he is like jack silkstone for Alton Towers
@@thephantomfantasia Filming is strictly not allowed so they won't be posting a POV either. Some plonker has illegally recorded one but for a decent POV it'll be a few months until the right pages are given permission to film in there properly.
I've been on it. Got mixed feelings, but overall, a nice dark ride.
Mixed is good as there are many good things and a few niggles. Great to have a balance and gives AT more to tweak and perfect as time goes on
@@LiftHillsandThrills I think they went a bit overboard with the gutting in some scenes that didn't need them. The finale had a lot of potential if it was completely gutted personally. I'm not a fan of the projection of Emily replacing the Flying demon thingies in the dining hall as I don't hink it's anywhere near as effective as those props lurching out at you. That's just me anyway, projections have never done it for me, no matter how hard I try to enjoy them. I think the ride is a bit too serious as well and lacks that humour the original had, which I think made the ride give its own special identity, that and it doesn't give you a break. But hey, at least the trommels working :).
i want spoilers ....🤣
No chance! aha
@@LiftHillsandThrills too late, ive watched a pov 🤣
Pretty sure you made a judgment on the waterfall sitch on Congo last year ..... were they on today ?
We’re still sticking to later this year when the weather is nicer, they’re not on today
