It always amazes me to look back at Thunder Valley when the trees were so sparsely spread. It's positivity lush now!

Alton towers advertising in the 90s was fantastic I always looked forward to CITV doing events from there to

Yeah I’ve had great fun watching all the old ads 😀

Can confirm the Nemesis canned pop was divine to 10 year old me's tongue. It was absolutely my favourite drink in 94, and I wasn't even a theme park fan back then.

Loved every second of that! My folks took me out of school to ride Nemesis in 1994 😅 as you mentioned, the canned pop for Nemesis, I wondered if you were going to mention the Oblivion body spray 😅

A bit of trivia for you: While the English Tourist Board did indeed have their 1994 "Year of the Roller Coaster" campaign, Alton Towers did not officially take part. It was missing from the ETB's challenge to ride the UK's best coasters, and if you listen carefully the park themselves very very rarely used the phrase "roller coaster" to describe Nemesis.

@coaster_dad 4 месяца назад

Interesting. Towers may not have included themselves officially but everyone else did 😂

Another great video, Thunder Looper was a quality ride, sad to see that one go but the best thing to come in the 90s was definitely Nemesis. Me & my Brother had a road trip on the opening year & got Nemesis & The Big One is the same weekend.

The nemesis drink was very nice. Like a cross between dr pepper and dandelion and burdock. We need coasters wars for the 20s. We really do. Bp need to do the bigger one and call it that. Alton extend and retrack oblivion and drayton do something quirky. 90s were the best years. Came often in high school. Nemesis was my first coaster of that type and when the floor went away i absolutely went white. Jelly legs getting off. Still my most extrene coaster ive rodden but thats due to the themeing and near misses i do think.

@coaster_dad 2 месяца назад

I’ve got a video coming out soon about how I became an enthusiast and I mention getting to the station of Nemmy and bottling it (I did get on in the end) so I can relate.

@@coaster_dad I was 10 years old, didnt have the balls for Thunderlooper or Corksrew that year. Did them the following year. Nemesis drink was lovely by the way. Wish they could bring it back, along with the red waterfalls.

@SteveDavies80 everyone says that drink was great. And who knows the new logo is retro so maybe they’ll bring the drink back this year 🤞🤷‍♂️😀

@at8174 4 месяца назад

1990 to 1996 was easily 50,50 on rides and entertainment and most of this vlog is ride based which is a shame as it doesn't capture the true magic that the towers were doing during the most magical years when it was producing the most professional entertainment they have ever done shame really as all the tv adds and news features always included the wonderful entertainment they offered during the 1990 to 1996

@coaster_dad 4 месяца назад

Ah I couldn’t find a definitive list of entertainment so I left it out. Sorry about that.

@at8174 4 месяца назад

@@coaster_dad its a shame really they prided themselves on the entertainment only using professional actors singers skaters and shows written and produced by people who had worked for bbc variety shows and royal variety shows and had tv stars working there for some seasons , theres loads of youtube of it even coca cola sponsored characters this is great for a ride review but they worked hard to make it so magical back even advertising as the UK,s Disney in the heart of the UK , i hope i haven't affended in any it just seems the biggest part has been missed or definitely 50% of what Alton was in the90,s
