- Join me as I return to the Alton Towers Resort on a quiet September weekday to get back on plenty of different rides! In this vlog I experience all 10 roller coasters at the park along with all of the other major rides on offer at the UK's biggest theme park. This includes Nemesis, The Smiler, Wicker Man and much more. I also head into all of the different areas of the park, bringing the latest updates from The World of David Walliams, CBeebies Land and much more. Along with sharing updates on the queue times, I check out more of the construction taking place ready for Scarefest and much more and in this bumper Alton Towers vlog!

When ever I see Alton towers, I get a weird euphoric vibe, almost unusual. There is something about this park which makes it so special.
I already belong to the smiler the smiler soundtrack lives rent free in my head
It’s such an addictive soundtrack!
First time i queued it got very annoying for me 😂
Ha ha ha… ha ha ha… ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… ha ha ha… ha ha ha… ha ha ha ha ha…
*random scream*
@@ThemeParkWorldwide So true I can never get it out my head
You and me both, pal!
We went today for the first time this year. Nemesis riding beautifully, Galactica much improved. But I'm shocked how rough Wicker Man has become in the last 12 months!!! We last rode it last scare fest and it seemed much better then! Also, Spinball Whizzer is only allowing 2 people per car (we saw 1x with 3 very small children in).... Is this a weight restriction diet to the age of the coaster and the fatigue caused by years of this coater track supports rocking in places? I'm an engineer and very interested! 😁🙏
Shaun i just saw a TikTok of a Britain’s got talent show and it looked like u was there when when they zoomed the camera angle on you was it actually you?
It was indeed!
Nemesis still my favourite, everything they've installed since just doesn't compete!
It was shut when I went a few week ago 😭
@@brunofernandes3550 that would be infuriating!
@@risteardconchuir4065 it was I asked when it will open and the guy said it won’t . Then the smiler broke down which made it a 3 hour queue . I remember going and getting on every ride 3 times
@@brunofernandes3550 not good
Yeah I went last week for the first time in years I remember going on nemesis as a kid and I was so impressed at how well it holds up after all these years, can’t wait to go back
I don't remember the monorail taking so long to load and unload, it's a shame. They could do with overhauling it.
It was roaring around with the same intensity as ever when we were there almost two weeks ago, although not quite as smooth as it was in earlier years. That bottom 270 helix is still the best helix I know from coasters I’ve experienced so far and it still brings the same euphoria it always did. Cannot wait to see what they do to preserve it in the next few years!
7:20 that scream I’m howling😭😭
Such a shame that the rapids have been wound down so much these day. Assume it's because of a few unfortunate incidents around the world over the years where people have fallen out (usually because they haven't obeyed the rules and have stood up though!) Reckon that they should install restraints and really crank everything up to 11 😀
Going this Sunday with my best friend but I don’t like big busy places and a bit scared of rides I hope its good :)
Did you enjoy it ? :))
Favourite line that i ever heard from alton towers....."one more time choo choo !"
choo choo... god the way he says it every time cracks me up
I’ve just came back from a 2 day trip, stayed in the Alton towers hotel, it was amazing!! Did all big 7 twice. And numerous other rides. The queues weren’t that bad. It was the best ever trip I’ve had to Alton towers!
Great to hear you had fun!
Thanks Shawn, this has been so useful for when we go early October! Fingers crossed you and Charlotte may be there when we come for us to say thanks.
Alton Towers used to be our local park but we haven't visited in 20 years! You've inspired us to come back home and visit, travelling all the way from Devon.
Have a fantastic time!
I’m going on October the seventh try and meet me there!
Oops! It’s actually the 8th see ya there!
Damn Devon that’s like idk 5-6 hours
And I’m going on the 25-26th
@@ThemeParkWorldwide hi its my birthday on the 21st btw banger vid
Since my visit got booked I haven’t stopped watching these! :D
I remember when I went to Alton towers with family earlier this year. We stayed overnight for a couple of nights and it was just amazing. Would have to say the smiler is my favourite! Was definitely worth the long queue! Love the vids!
Glad you had fun!
I love alton towers, I always have happy memories there. Can't wait to go back summer time 2022!
Best I’ve done is 38,000 on Duel :(
But it’s hard so I feel it’s valid 😂
Lmao I got 76k was actually proudest moment of my life
@@l04___73 then there’s me struggling to get 20k lmao
I can't believe I missed you again!
I was going to alton towers the friday after with my family hoping one day i would see you!
keep up the great work Shawn!
I was literally there for the first time today! Had an amazing day and am struggling to choose between nemesis and the smiler for my favourite at the park
Thirteen* 😆👌
Rita is champion
When I first went on Nemesis not long after it opened. I had to wait 4 hours and 15mins to ride it. Years later I was able to walk right onto it and ride it 4 times while I was there.
Eiskskiss8, but it the most important part. The may be a bit more. We are looking at how much I owe them. I have a good50004th 3uueueieieoeeoeo to make a squid to the right now. The may be unlawful indirect or
That kid on galactica was like
😐😧😄"I SAW YOUR UA-cam"
Lmao
I’m going to Alton towers next week very excited I’m going in scarcest so very excited

NO CONGO IS THE BEST!!!! waterfalls are back next year don't worry lol
It’s more of a lazy river now!
My gosh i live litterally 20 minutes away yet ive not been in about 10 years!!
Single Rider queue on The Smiler is an absolute lifesaver!
Hi lift hills and thrills!
@@edz_gaming7915 👋
It certainly is!
Nothing beats nemesis, also love to know what’s going to happen to all those flat rides
Removed at the end of this year
@@altonalex1235 whattt? D:
Yes I think it is in my top 10 rollercoaster
It’ll be interesting to see what they do
I seen you at the park on the 8th September, I finally got round to riding everything, absolutely love nemesis and the smiler, would of said hello but you was in the middle of a conversation with someone so didn't want to disturb you, anyway love the vlogs!!!!
Unpopular opinion but I think Nemesis is overrated. Not bad by any means, I just don't think it's the best ride. Not in my top 3 certainly. I think a lot of people rank it so high because of their nostalgia of such a classic ride, but I'm relatively new to the theme park space so I don't have those years of experience.
In regards to how it's been running, I always find that no matter how much I brace myself, I always keep hitting my ears on the sides of the harness which causes a lot of discomfort. I don't know if anyone knows a way to stop this because most people I talk to don't experience it. Maybe not bracing is the key?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I went on run away mine train at the end of the day one time and I got to go around 5 times!
I closed my eyes I’m stupid
One of the worst memories I’ve got from Alton towers is my friends forcing me on the blade whilst I had the worst heat stroke ever cuz I was like 20-25 degrees I nearly passed out 😭
Sorry to hear that!
You got me into thrill rides thanks and keep up the good work👍👍👍
How come skyride didn’t breakdown on you lol
It’s usually quite reliable!
I’d love to go on the smiler. my number 1 bucket list coaster in the world. it just looks amazing
Ohh it is...its the most intense ride I've ever been on. Leaves you utterly confused! Going on it again on weds, hopefully multiple times.
I’m going October this year but I’m too scared of it I’m anctually nervous about nemesis so there’s no way I’m doing smiler
It’s brilliant, one of the most intense rides I’ve been on, but it is extremely fun. It’s 3 mins long and it’s packed full on twists and turns, You don’t know where your going next.
@@heinzbeansenjoyer1668 I’d say if you can do nemesis you can absolutely do smiler I love them both nemesis is better tho more intense
Shite ride, worst coaster there
I went to Alton towers last month and I was about to get on nemesis but I got too scared:( any tips for getting over my fear?
It’s best to sit further forwards and relax!
Im going tomorrow so Im watching this because Im bored
Todays the day
Hey Shaun, when do you think you will be at fantasy island next?
Over Halloween most likely!
I’d love to go on The smiler but I’m not the best on going on roller coasters cause I hate Heights but I’m going to face my fears when I next go . Anyway I’m going there on October 8th hopefully I’ll see you and Charlotte there😄👍
It’s a fantastic ride!
Is it just me but whenever I go to Alton towers in past 2 or 3 years, Rita has been shut every time but I’m not really fussed because I don’t like launch coasters
I feel like Alton towers should have a walk on queue gate for week days or if it’s really quiet
booked for tommorow what a shame its saying it packed but hope i can get a good few rides in
22,000 high score... a full cart and i have terrible aim!😂
I concur, nemesis was riding really well yesterday. Got on front row, back row and middle. Back row is super intense!
Glad you had fun!
Hi Sean.
Like you said Nemesis is one of the best rides in the Uk if not the best. Really sad that it is closed but hopefully will come back with its retract better then ever. I’m going to talk you through my first ever day at a major theme park and indeed it was Alton towers.
We arrived at Alton towers at 9.15 so that we could get to the park early. I remember walking down to forbidden Valley using your advice and queueing up for a 0 minute wait for Galactica. We started queueing for that at around 9.50 but still a very short queue. At 10:15 Galactica was still closed so we decided to walk to Nemesis
At Nemesis I was so nervous. I had never been on a big coaster before. Again I used your advice to queue up for a extra 5 minutes with my uncle so that we could get the front row. We went on Nemesis and from that day (1st May 2022) I am a absolute enthusiast to rollercoaster. I fell in love with that ride instantly.
After Nemesis. We went on to do Galactica and that was decent. A nice smooth ride.
Then we went over to Katanga Canyon and rid the river rapids. That ride was pretty boring as it wasn’t getting me and my uncle that wet. But we did have a nice chat about Nemesis. Then we did the runaway mine train and that was j by bring compared to Nemesis but it was a nice calm ride.
Then we headed over to X-Sector. First we headed on Oblivion and waiting around 30 minutes. This is the ride which I’m most nervous for to this day. It’s still a good ride but I just get nervous for it every time.
Then I did the Smiler. At this time I was 10 years old and on that day I was so nervous. I was deciding whether to go on it just before the entrance of the queue but my Uncle pushed me into the queue so I kind of had to ride it. When I was on it I really enjoyed it. We waited around 50 mins. Throat soundtrack gets stuck in my head and it’s really annoying 😂.
Then we walked over to Dark Forest and made our first mistake. We decided to eat at a restaurant called Woodcutters Bar and grill. The food was amazing dont get me wrong but it wasted around 45 mins of our 8 hour day.
Well after food we wanted a calm ride so instead of doing Rita and Th13teen straight away we went to Duel. I beat my uncle and I got 52,700 score and my uncle got 39,100.
Then it was around 14.30 and we headed over to Spinball Whizzer with around 3 hours and 30 minutes left of our day. This was our longest queue all day. It was 1 hour and advertised 20 minutes. AT 14.40 it was 1 hour. I really don’t know how that happened (WAIT YOUR GIVING FAKE ADVICE). Anyway our ride was a good one.
Then we were on our way back to Dark Forest and we went past Hex at around 15.45. Walk on queue and got off around 16.00. That ride is so underrated.
After all the over rides we did we finally wanted to do Th13teen and Rita. We went on Th13teen first. I never knew a drop was there because it was my first time riding. That part scared me. Still was a great ride. Waited around 25 mins.
Then we went on Rita. The launch was just incredible and the speed all the way round was great. It was really smooth on the day I went (1st May 2022) but on my recent 3 dates which I’ve went (16th June 2022, 16th October 2022 and 5th April 2023) it has been really rough since after the launch. The launch though has been amazing every time. We waited 40 minutes. Time was around 5.20. We had 40 minutes of our day left.
Since we had basically one ride left of the day, we had a big discussion and said ‘do we want to Nemesis again or have a go on Wickerman’. We decided on Nemesis again since it was advertised a 0 minute queue so we thought we might have time for both.
We got to Nemesis and we had been queueing for around 5 mins and we were just outside the station when…
THE RIDE HAD BROKE DOWN AT 5:30.
It became 5.45 and the ride opened again. We got on at around 5.50. We got off with 5 minutes to get to Wickerman…
WE RAN A 16 MINUTE IN WALK IN 2 MINUTES AND GOT TO WICKERMAN AT 5.58.
We were so happy as since we were in the Wickerman queue before 6 we got to ride.
My favourite ride of that day has to be the second Time on Nemesis.
Thanks a lot Sean for reading this )if you do) and Keep up all the good content

I got a theme park worldwide hoodie for my birthday
That’s amazing! Thanks for your support!
Now That's Great News. Alton Towers Is Back. Thanks Mate. X
I have to say Wicker Man, The Smiler and Thir13een are all great rides but i think Wicker Man is my favourite with the atmosphere and soundtrack
My highest score on Duel is About 50,000 (Without Breakdowns) on one of my last rides on there 😊
Haha couple fans on Galatica there
That Helicopter was for my friend lol she had a fit on 13tn hint why it want down all day she was gone she wasn't responding to anyone so thay called Air ambulance
We sat on the lawns watching it but never saw it land - I even took a video of it because it circled that many times
@@Rachael5032 it landed bk off 13tn
It was bad
Hope she’s ok now! ❤️
@@Rachael5032 she ok not still have test
So glad you're really starting to enjoy the smiler! It's my favourite ride in the UK and it's riding better than ever these last couple of years #youbelongtothesmiler
It’s a fantastic ride!
Fantastic vlog Shawn. I’ve always loved AT especially the gardens as they have always been stunning. Nemesis is without doubt one of my favourite coasters and I cannot believe it has been standing since 1994. I had my first ride on it in 1995 and I was hooked. Love the runaway mine train ride too one of my favourites. Nice one Shawn👍
Those inversions on nemesis are so fast 💨
My ranking of the park is:
1. Octonauts Roller Coaster Adventure
2. Runaway Mine Train
3. Spinball Whizzer
Still in my top 5 all time favourite coasters. Thank goodness they didn’t add VR to it.
Which?
Great vlog shawn cant wait for euro road trip
Hey!
I work here and the full time watching I'm just being like AM I THERE XD. like imagine u see little old me walking through park to my shift. I would die lmao
I'm going there tommorow (tommorow being Monday, 4th October 2021). My first time going and I'm excited!
Went on nemesis around 3 weeks ago and the girl did me proud
Amazing ride
Lots of background jumpers in this vlog....more than usual lol 😆 😅
You can tell how much he loves nemesis because he spends like 5 mins max explaining all the ride but nemesis he takes like 30 mins to describe 🤣Nemmy will always be my fav no matter what
oooooh im going there on the 28th of october i cant wait to do all the scare mazes
Great vlog btw!
Yoo!! Love the Alton towers vlogs! It’s my favourite!!
I couldn't do job because of my little brother was to scared so yeah but my best one on Tomb blaster what's 52,000 I think or maybe 60,000
i got 4 laps on the minetrain before. It was probably because we were the first ride of the day and my top score on duel is roughly 96,000
I don’t know if you remember me, but we met at thirteen when we got off the same cart
I haven’t ridden wicker man, but the logical thing they should possibly do is maybe split the pre show into 2 separate show buildings, one where it is now, and another before it at some point in the que, so the run time is halved and allows the que to flow at certain points
I am going with a tour in October I am am so scared and I hope I don’t DIE and my kid is DESSPERET to go on nemesis
Why did they have to remove the smoke/fog effect off the portal on galactica :(
Enjoy these TPW. I love this place, I'd love to go again next year. Anyone else
I would go every day if I could
@@Lilly_bean2 same but I live 3 hours away
Oh yeah definitely I would go to alton towers alot

hi if you have a disability would you be allowed to go through the exit like drayton manor btw amazing vid!!
There’s disability access available
You should visit the Dare skywalk and sky drop at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on your Adventure Shawn channel sometime in the future.
I’ve seen it on UA-cam and on TV and looks insane.
P.S. It’s also where Joshua vs Usyk (£24.95) is taking place on 25/09/2021 and I know it’s not related to the channel but, will you and your friends be planning to watch it on PPV next weekend?
Thanks for watching!
I am trying to go to scarefest. This year what’s you’re fave maze ever at scarefest
Rita is my favourite ride at Alton Towers and its very clear that the GP love it too.
My top score on duel is 0 on because I’m going to Alton towers for the first time
Going to need some more of those top tips - never knew that you could refill your water for free!!
Little did he know he predicted the refurbishment of nemesis
I am going to America but the time I went to Alton towers was the BEST
23:18 Shawn that's not a Zebra shark it's a Blacktip shark because it has Blacktips on its fins while the zebra shark doesn't have blacktips BTW the Zebra shark passed you
