When is nemesis due to come back?
Shaun I remember when u work there lad
It was a real please to bump into Shawn and Charlotte yesterday, they seem like very lovely people and were happy to stop to say hello to their fans. Keep up all the great VLOGs to share your genuine passion and excitement for ATR. :)
It was great to see you!
Absoloutely brilliant theming for it, the atmosphere in the queue, the new audio, the live actors! It’s so good to see, great vlog Shawn and Charlotte!
It really is fantastic!
Perfect vlog to wake up too! ...Afraid to say I couldn't wait n I've already watched a full pov of The Curse Of Alton Monor. Looks terrific and creepy. The perspective through the trees to The Monor was stunning. Cant wait to visit 😍
Thanks for watching!
I'm so happy with what they've done, and all the projects Merlin are doing this season. This is a huge step up for them, and it's great to see the Haunted House back to its glory!
It certainly is!
Seems the ministry of joy are testing how much LED lights our eyes can handle and how much clashing 80s music right next to each other our ears can take. They removed enterprise for twistatron. Now let's demolish wicker Man for the firework festival teacups rides
Next year smiler is going to be a wacky worm!
@@procrastination_productions Im so excited!
@meow900 Planning applications submitted and ordered another waltzer, a Miami ride, a little kiddies Disney train that goes round in circles forever, a funhouse, a wooden mini Ferris wheel, a bumper cars track and a centrifuge. The playlist will be Firework, The Final Countdown, Never Gonna Give You Up and You Spin Me Round
Hold it right there!
The Wicker Man’s not going anywhere!
I want to see Alton Towers extend Gloomy Wood, they must add new attractions including a Cluedo-themed dark ride.
@@procrastination_productions No way, man!
You can’t wipe the twisted smile off The Smiler!
It was amazing meeting you two at Alton towers yesterday, it was the best day ever! I was really impressed with The Cures At Alton Manor.
Great to see you!
I have indeed been waiting for this! You two are living the dream together 😆 happy for you both 😊 thank you for bringing us along with you!
Thank you!
I absolutely love the new theming on The curse at Alton Manor. The atmosphere, the costumes, the RC baby carriage. I love how they used the Crypt as the entrance to the ride. Fantastic stuff, I can only hope they keep some of the actors around the queueline moving forward! Can't wait to visit the park again soon. Great vlog as always both! 😃 🎢 👻
They’ve done a brilliant job!
What’s also great, is how the costumes are shared by everyone including the retail staff. It’s a full immersive experience!
This has been my most anticipated vlog! Seeing you two back at Alton brings a smile to my face, looks like it was a fantastic day! The Curse at Alton Manor looks BRILLIANT! I'm amazed as to how well they transformed the space in such a short time.
Thanks for watching!
Maybe the new ride might be a planet of the apes theme.. judging by all the monkeys in the merch shop hahaha love the new vlog as always! Biggest fan here ❤❤
Maybe so 😂 Thanks for watching!
The excitement in your voice as you were heading to the ride made me smile 🙂
I used to go to Alton Towers as a kid at least twice a year with my family in the 80s and early 90s. Lots of memories of rides opening and things like the monorail being built, I was obsessed with Alton Towers as a kid! Last time I was there was in 1998 when Oblivion opened, as I then moved out and it's a bit of a pain to get to from London when you don't have a car, I've been meaning to do a hotel stay one year with my daughter for years but haven't got round to it. However watching this video make me just book a train ticket, taxi and park ticket for this Wednesday so I'm coming to Alton Towers on my own for one day, lets see how much has changed in 25 years!
So nice that you met John Wardley as well! And the Flume duck is in there!
He’s such a fantastic guy!
I just wanna say I've been watching your videos for a long time and I want to give props to Charlotte for the genuine effort and enthusiasm that she has developed to the part where she's becoming as natural and good at doing this as Shawn who has been an absolute tv-quality presenter for so many years. Really gr8 duo, shes really grown into this now, and the best decision you ever made to focus on you just you two, as it really has fleshed out Charlotte's talent for this and it's been lovely to see.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
We went today and rode the Alton Manor, we were massively underwhelmed, though we aren't avid theme park fans and did not anticipate the ride, or even realise it had such an uplift. Watching your enthusiasm for the ride and theming has made me wonder if we took it for granted really and didn'ty take the time to appreciate the effort into it.
Wow Alton manor is mind blowing such a great attraction!!!!!!🎉
It’s a brilliant transformation, we loved it!
Been waiting for this one! Agree that the retro squad needs to go now. Seems the park is pumping lots of investment into new projects and even things such as the lighting so hopefully we will see more improvements coming soon. Great to see you loved the curse at Alton manor! Thanks for the informative vlog yet again guys!!
Thanks for watching!
Haha the multiple cheers were some of us cheering whenever they opened the ride doors and when they closed them we all went "ohhhh". Great atmosphere!
So so happy! This retheme has got go be one of the best I’ve seen in the UK! Can’t wait to experience this!
Absolutely stunning theming from the Ride, the SFX and VFX are incredible. This ride definitely didn't disappoint. If this is the level Alton towers is getting to on theming then this park definitely has an Amazing future it really makes you think what Project Horizon is gonna look like
So much to look forward to!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Still mad at you about Cosmic Rewind and the motion Sickness.
@@ThemeParkWorldwide You missed a Effect.
Amazing vlog like always! i loved meeting you yesterday and having a photo it made my day! sounds like you had a great day too!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely loved The Curse At Alton Manor amazing themeing! , me and my mum went on it and I loved it, it was quite fast aswell and while I was in the queue I spotted Shawn and Charlotte but I was a bit to far away to talk to them but i'm just happy I got to see them :)
I got excited just watching the build up. I hope I get to experience it soon. And I met you’s at Alton Tower’s last year and my niece had just missed out on missing you’s by about 30 second’s. She couldn’t believe that I met you’s and she didn’t. 😂😂 But it was a pleasure meeting you’s and I love your channel.
That theme tune from Congo Rapids is the thing I most remember when I first visited Alton Towers all these years ago. Nice to see it's been updated.
Looking forward to trying the Curse at Alton Manor at some point. Totally agree about the fairground rides: time to go.
Can’t wait for the full merch tour - always a highlight!
Absolutely love this! ❤Hope that you had a great day! I was there too, we tried to get on but the queue was sooooo long!
Thank you!
Looks amazing! I was lucky enough to see you queueing for the park entrance!
Hope you enjoyed your day
Really exciting to see the restoration and evolution of Gloomy Wood and The Haunted House/Alton Manor - and I don’t think Alton or Merlin care a bit what we think, but we aren’t going back until at least 2025 when the new indoor rollercoaster opens and they lose the fairground rides. Alton Towers, you’re a fabulous park that has given me so many awesome memories so please, GET IT SORTED or at least communicate your plans!
Wonderful vee-log as always xx
Been waiting all day for this! Great video Shawn. Looking good Charlotte!😉😜😎
My sister and her friend were so happy to get a photo with you at the curse of the manor also was great seeing you and being the one taking the photo for my sister
Enjoyed our visit yesterday and managed 4 rides on Curse. Every ride I saw something new and I think it’s going to take a lot of re rides to take it all in. Music and audio in there is awesome though.
Like I said park looks a little tired in places, smiler in particular looked dirty. Retrosquad absolutely has to go now.
Can’t wait to get in and see Emily again on my next visit!
im so excited for the start of the next season that im gonna binge some vlogs in prep! cant wait for your 2024 vlog!
Surprised you didn't hear it, but one of the new announcements on the approach to the waterfalls on the CRR says "time to face those waterfalls head on!". Why would they put that there if the waterfalls weren't returning? I think they'll return in the summer once the weather gets warmer!
I’ve said to for the past 3 years now, but I’d love for Alton to do 3/4 back to back seasons of a new flat ride each year, proper built in with tons of theming. I think it could work out quite well for them.
Thanks for the video. I haven't been to Alton Towers for ages. Used to go a lot in the 1990s.
Oh I can’t wait for this!!!! Looks so good! Seen a POV on UA-cam somewhere already :( but very much looking forward to your review! Great vlog as always theme park worldwide keep it up!!
I can’t wait to stand on the new viewing platform and even stepping back in Nemesis: Sub-Terra (if it does come back) I really like how they cleaned it up and put in some new content I wonder if it does return because it’s been 21 days since the season started and I’ve not seen any announcement about the return but it’s possible
Wow I love the queue and audio. Really adds to the experience from the looks of it
Solid vlog guys, soooo glad it's met if not exceeded everyone's expectations! I'll get on it next week....round of applause to Mr Wardley and the team at MMM. 👏
Thank you!
What a fantastic day. Always good to get to the park. Especially for an occasion like this. So good to see everybody. Hope you both had a great day! 😀
We had a great day!
Hello Shawn, great video excited to go and see this ride in action, I know that you record your coaster credits on excel, and so do I, I would love for you to do a series of videos/live streams showing us the list of credits and each unique story for every coaster/park on the list! This would be awesome so we could find out all of your trips and first visits to parks and so on...
Thankyou!
Amazing ride! Great to meet you again in the shop/exit area yesterday! The full size talking creepy Emily doll is my favourite part! It reminds me of the Megan film 😂😂
Oh wow! The new alton manor ride looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to get there soon!
54:13 the phalanx guy reminds me so much of when oblivion was being constructed with the guy standing outside 😆
Oh dear !!! That Twistaphon ride will really leave you feeling unwell !!! You can count me out !! Lol
I experience the curse at Alton manor today and OMG it is amazing the amount the look at and the atmosphere in there is incredible. The two John’s have done a fantastic job in just the space of 8 months and I am so glad the weird tunnel thing is just amazing. Overall I will give it a 8/10 if they filled the dead spots it would be a 10/10
They’ve done a great job!
Love the quick update! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
It’s good to have you back and can’t wait till I go aswell have a good rest of your day
I haven't been on it yet, but i cant wait to do so it looks so good, it looks like a cross between phantom manor and the haunting
Good to see everyone at the park yesterday, it was so fun. 👍
It was a fantastic day!
Great vlog...thanks to you both i went in the reef place I didn't even realise that was free
I saw you and charlotte whilst I was in the curse of Alton manor queue. It was a very good ride. Hope you guys had a good day.
When I was at the front waiting to go in one of the team said there’s still a few more special effects to go in that didn’t get completed in time so I’m sure this great attraction will only get better!
Definitely!
THIS IS THE REVIEW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! Cannot wait to see how you rate The Curse at Alton Manor!!!!!
My wife and son grabbed a photo with you just as you got off Curse. Thanks, both of you. You always make time for fans and are especially polite and friendly.
Great to see you!
Saturday was a amazing day the atmosphere was fantastic and getting to meet u was brilliant thank u
Wow 🤩 It’s great to see that Alton Towers have kept the original spookiness formal glory theming from Duel with additional elements features throughout including the audio that enhances the spooky eery atmospheric vibe experiences, Alton Towers have gone way above beyond with their impressive major projects working progress, I’m really excited but confused right now with mixed information with the new attraction The curse, some people are saying it’s family friendly others are saying it’s the ride just for adult with devil evil content entertainment hmm 🤔 if you can Shawn please can you clarify this, I trust you as your a theme park enthusiast with so much knowledge and experience cheers 🥂 Shawn great vlog as always
Hi Shawn, Charlotte, thank you both for a brilliant vlog, all looks great, looking forward to visiting this week
Thank you!
I love the theming around the ride! I loved duel.. but I’m glad that it’s gone back to being more like the haunted house I remember back in the 90s. So glad you enjoyed it! I’m so excited to get my chance to go.
Great video guys👍💀👻
It’s a fantastic addition!
Such a great day!! I agree it was so nice to see gloomy wood so popular and a lot of effort going into the curse at Alton manor!
It was brilliant!
Great video as usual. I haven’t watched your channel for just over a year due to being pregnant and having a baby. The thought of rides made me feel very sick! Luckily I’m back into thinking about going to theme parks again this year and this is a great vlog. Fab updates, The Curse at Alton Manor looks great. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for watching. Hopefully you’ll be back in the parks soon!
Happiest guys on YT! Love your vlogs. You are a lovely couple xx
Thank you ✨
now it is time for the Alton towers season for March 2023!! And Curse at alton manor looks really good with the pre-show and everything about it is so lit! i love alton towers and the way they do events ehh halloween they need to add more mazes but for other events at alton towers they do a good job and cant wait to see what TPW got in store for 2023!!
Thank you for watching!
When I was at Alton Towers I didn’t notice the new speakers or anything else apart from the new flooring but I mostly noticed the Phalanx dude guarding both of them and apparently I found out that the pre show was spotted playing on the tv
Aww man The Haunted House has always been a favourite of mine, just the story of the previous rides, the Facade, the amazing classic props of Duel and The Haunted House. Just so much nostalgia with this ride, I'm glad they've spent money to keep with ride. Cannot wait to go Alton Towers this year! Aswell finally the blaster have been removed! Yay no more led spots all over the props haha
It’s such a brilliant ride!
I’ve been once before last Easter and I’m going again this Easter I can’t wait to ride the smiler again
Hello There, a great Video and I totally agree they need to get rid of the temporary flat rides and install some permanent high quality ones as oon as possibly, hopefully with the new management in place they'll be able to try and implement some new changes etc. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Cheers Peter :)
I’ll be shocked if they continue the Retrosquad next year. Also Alton Manor is sounding great from what I’ve heard, so now I really can’t wait until I get to try it 👀
They’ve done a brilliant job!
Loved this vlog ! Making me excited to get back to the parks! I miss bpb and Alton ❤
Thank you for watching!
As usual guys another great video, the car in Katanga Canyon Shawn is a Land Rover Discovery. Can't wait to get back to try the new ride as well as everything else. Thank you so much and keep up the awesome videos this year.
Thank you!
Sensational! Completely blown away with this !
Network engineer here, I was there on Saturday and noticed that they have installed new WiFi access points all over the park, there are tons of them all over the place, they are high quality devices rated for very high capacity traffic. Seems like they are preparing for public Wi-Fi in the park. This will have been a massive investment for the park, as the cabling and work needed for these devices is expensive and time consuming. Great to see!
It’s great to see!
The Curse is a brilliant addition to the park. Any ride that catches you and means you want to re-ride it over and over again is a job well done.
It really is!
Great video guys! Really informative. I certainly agree with your comments regarding the retro squad.
Thank you!
Brilliant video 😊
Loved watching this
Can’t wait to ride the curse at Alton Manor!! 👻We are hoping go Alton towers this week we have local residences tickets. Been so excited for the new season! Looking forward to seeing your review on CBeebies land. I’m so glad they’ve done some work on in the night garden as it’s my daughter’s favourite ride. But hopefully will get a few big rides in as well. 🎢
Have a great time!
Yessssss!!!! So pumped for new Vlogs!!

It's the first time I've ever seen Duel busy 🤣🤣 used to like it being a walk on.
Omg the queue line, Took me right back to 1992. HH opened on my first trip to Alton towers when I was little I remember reading all the grave stones with my bros! wild to see the full queue line open again. So sad to miss the opening day but my girl friend was on call at the hospital, we are looking forward to going together soon!
They’ve done such a great job!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide indeed ! Doom and sons :D thanks for your hard work getting this edited and up so quickly !
loved this vlog! I was there as well on the opening day and we enjoyed it so much! the only thing that that alton towers didn't have any posters around the park promoting to go to this attraction :( my little brother was asking where are TPW, he was looking forward to seeing you and getting a few pictures :( next time hopefully :)
Thank you for watching!
I can't lie every time I hear that iconic line (good morning and welcome to ect) I get chills
Love it!

Was at Alton yesterday aswell and the staff on wickerman before we entered the preshow asked have we rode nemesis today, after expressing how we missed it the member of staff said we might get a surprise midway through the season, so maybe subterra returns 🤷🤷
