Alton towers is such a weird park having beautiful gardens and castles that aren’t really part of theming and then you have like a 14 inversion Gerstlauer out of nowhere lol

@VECTOR_Coasters 11 месяцев назад

pretty sure the smiler stops at the bottom of the lift so it duels almost every time. i think it's exactly what twisted colossus should do and i think it's worth doing nothing for a few seconds for a duel

My favourite ride ever is the big dipper despite being on velocicoaster, iron gwazi but thats only because big dipper was my first coaster :D

@me-myself-i787 10 месяцев назад

My favourite ride ever is Dragon's Fury, mainly because it was my first rollercoaster and it's been so long since I rode it, and the only rollercoaster to beat it in my rankings (The Smiler) has moved way down because I've grown taller and those awful Gerstlauer OTSRs dig into my shoulders. It's worse than Olympia Looping because the Smiler actually has airtime. If I ride it again, there's a decent chance it will move down in my rankings below Blue Fire Megacoaster, which is currently my #2. It might even drop below Wodan and Silver Star, my #3 and #4.

Was looking forward to this one for a while. Alton Towers holds a special place for me. Glad y'all had a good first day getting on most of the major rides. The Retro Squad and Mardi Gras stuff is admittedly kinda cringe, but things like Curse, Sub Terra and Wicker Man make up for that. I'm particularly happy you guys enjoyed Galactica! I feel that one doesn't get enough love.

@trevorwalling9754 11 месяцев назад

My favorite series 🎢

@rogerbordine7 11 месяцев назад

Once the new indoor ride opens, i think a great video would be BGW vs AT. Their coaster line ups and atmosphere is similar enough for a good comparison video. Beautiful park grounds, 3 B&M’s, a “family” coaster with a drop track, an intamin launch, indoor coasters, black and yellow inversion based coaster (not a great comparison between Nessy and Smiler, but oh well) and a mid tier themed family-ish GCI, etc etc

@me-myself-i787 10 месяцев назад

Busch Gardens would probably win. Alpengeist Vs Nemesis - Alpengeist is taller and has a great first half, but Nemesis interacts with the terrain better and is probably more popular Oblivion Vs Griffon: Definitely Griffon. Galactica Vs Apollo's Chariot: probably Apollo's Chariot Rita Vs Pantheon: definitely Pantheon Th13teen Vs Verboten: depends on who you ask Smiler Vs Nessy: Definitely Smiler

@bretton_woods 11 месяцев назад

The last time I went to Alton Towers, Oblivion was still being built and I wasn't tall enough to ride Nemesis! Now Oblivion is out of date and Nemesis is getting completely retracked....I feel so old!!

@brenonymouscoasterdesign6193 11 месяцев назад

And also agree with you on Galactica - I love that coaster and think that it is the second best coaster in the park behind the Smiler by a long way. On Wicker Man I have only got two mid-trains so I need to go again at some point.

@chrisogrady28 8 месяцев назад

Icon is much faster and more forceful than it looks on camera, the first launch does really push you back in it's 2nd half, straight into that top hat is insane sustained ejector in the back. The rest is okay but it's the interaction with the other rides that makes it special.

@gemmachaos 11 месяцев назад

Alton Towers is a great park and Nemesis was (and hopefully will be again) one of the best B&Ms around. My biggest knock against it is that nearly all its major attractions are horror themed. It would make more sense for a park with that kind of natural scenery to go more of a whimsical Efteling route.

@galacticevill 11 месяцев назад

I have been WAITING For this!!

@strudelninja 11 месяцев назад

So I work at a casino and our protocol is that if a machine has to be opened to access the money box, then the machines on either side have to be vacated by guests sitting there. It doesn't matter if they're in a row or there's just 4 machines in a square, the protocol is what the protocol is so that we don't have to have the employees on the floor making judgement calls. That's probably the case with the ride ops - they are required to load front to back no matter what, so that way ops don't get slowed down by people asking for seats and then everyone in the line sees that and starts asking. It's not YOU specifically they're being mean to, it's just a management decision and there's probably no amount of complaining that will change it short of a total boycott by a large portion of guests. Now, ideally the company would also be paying enough that they could fully staff the ride, and have a dedicated grouper that can solve these issues between trains...

@chrisogrady28 8 месяцев назад

My and my bf just ignored the Wicker Man seat assigner and got second to back row, it was a night ride and absolutely epic. Completely different experience to front of mid with those long millenium flyer trains. They really need to allow guests to say their seat preference as they often get normies at the back who have a too intense time, and enthusiasts at the front also having a bad time, it's ridiculous.

@chrisogrady28 8 месяцев назад

It's so noisey you just look at what space is free closest to the back and say 'yeah 9, cool thanks' and walk away while they have to deal with the next screaming family

@me-myself-i787 11 месяцев назад

I didn't do Gangsta Granny because the queue looked long and the wait time was not posted at the entrance, and I left my phone with my parents so I couldn't check on the app. Whilst Galactica was my favourite, that was mostly due to the smooth flying sensation. Wickerman was my 2nd favourite, but it was definitely more intense. Probably top 3 most intense rides in the park, along with Rita and Smiler. But Smiler has those awful Gerstlauer OTSRs which dig into my shoulders, and Rita has a bit of a rattle and has those hard plastic OTSRs. Meanwhile, Wickerman has lapbars. And it has great headchoppers and strong laterals which made me reluctant to put my hands up. I rode it in the back later in the day, which probably influenced my opinion of it. Th13teen was my 3rd favourite due to the great airtime, smooth experience, comfortable restraints, and the drop track. It wasn't as intense as Wickerman, but it might have had better airtime. But since Th13teen didn't barrage me with forces, I could appreciate the airtime more. But I still preferred Wickerman's relentless ride experience. My 4th favourite was Oblivion. It wasn't as long as the previous 3, but it was smooth, had comfortable seats and restraints, and had good airtime on the drop (but not as good as Th13teen). Below that was Spinball Whizzer, then Rita, then Smiler was my least favourite.

Wicker Man's air gate management has always baffled me. I tried to stealthily change row once in the hope that the next pair would just fill in my original row, but the staff member immediately told me to move back. I have no idea why they're so strict about it.

Towers is definitely on a low season for 2023. The whole park feels like it’s missing something, and of course that thing is Nemesis. BUT if they make the right moves, this park has a very bright future. With Nemesis and Horizon, the future is exiting. All they need is some flats to complete the park

Plus riding nemesis and the smiler at night time is a must! The park is even open until 10pm. Maybe an idea for a future trip? Keep up the great work!

Me and my bf just did Valhalla for the first time post-refurb, and EVERYTHING WAS WORKING, and it was just before park close. There's so much fire, so much drama, and the drops are ludicrously long and steep for a boat with no harnesses. They are listed online as 70° which is definitely wrong, but they must be some of the steepest and highest log flume drops in the world, I'd love to see them outdoors. I think they are 65ft

Thirteen wasn't intented to have trims on the first drop however during inirial testing the coaster went way to fast into the second lift hill so they added the trims to combat that. Intamin kinda screwed up with it as it has a few design flaws, it was trying to be ahead of its time.

@me-myself-i787 10 месяцев назад

18:05 It's based on Gangsta Granny by David Walliams, a great, popular children's novel. In that book, this grandson doesn't like his grandma until he finds out she's a gangsta. She told him all these stories about the crimes she committed when she was younger. Then, they formulated a plan to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London by sneaking through a defunct sewer. However, Granny was in the hospital at this time. Granny said not to sell the Crown Jewels, because that's how thieves get caught. She never got caught because she only stole for the thrill of it. She was reluctant to steal the Crown Jewels, but eventually decided to go along with the plan as long as he agreed to put them back afterwards, since as she grew up, she realised stealing was wrong. Then, she was discharged from the hospital. Then, they put the plan in action. They snuck into the Tower of London. Then, they were stopped by the Queen of England before they could steal the Crown Jewels. Then, the truth came out. Granny actually wasn't a thief. The jewelry at her house was fake. She pretended to be a thief to earn her grandson's respect. They ask the Queen for forgiveness, and she forgives them. Then, Granny dies from her illness. Turns out, she actually hadn't been discharged from the hospital. The doctor had actually told her her illness was terminal. So she decided to pull off this heist before dying. David Walliams made loads of great books. Gangsta Granny, Billionaire Boy (about the son of the owner of a company which sold toilet paper which was wet on one side and dry on the other, and how his life changed), Demon Dentist (about a dentist who is actually a Tooth Witch and who tries to get kids' teeth to rot away before she steels them, the more rotten the better) and my personal favourite, Grandpa's Great Escape, which is about a grandpa escaping from an evil nursing home.

@MattMcIrvin 11 месяцев назад

The comments about how the Smiler doesn't feel like a 14-inversion coaster are interesting. I've never been to Alton Towers, but I was wondering about the Smiler after riding PortAventura's Dragon Khan, the only eight-inversion B&M coaster. The inversions on that are intense and relentless and I actually came off the ride dizzy, thinking I might have enjoyed it more with only six or seven, and wondering if a 14-inversion coaster would even be bearable for me. But maybe that's not the right comparison. I know Gerstlauer's inversions don't necessarily have the same kick to them.

@dingo137 11 месяцев назад

The Smiler doesn't feel too dizzying in my experience - certainly much less than Colossus, where those last inversions are just too much. I also preferred it to Dragon Khan, which had a little bit of headbanging.

A lot of the ride ops are damn right rude now. My cousin came over from Ireland and really wanted front row oblivion. We did is 3 times back to back and didn't get front row (each time 15 min queue). The same ride op, even though we spoke to him, would not budge and kept putting us on the back row. He wasn't horrible, but my cousin is a 12 yr old and asked really politely for front row! Just a shame really, they used to be a lot more flexible.

They won't let you wait for the front but I've always been allowed to sit at the back for wicker man

We had the same with wanting to sit at the back, the seats were empty so not Sure why we couldn’t sit at that row, rather sucks as good ride at the back

The reason they don’t have any coasters over tree height is because there is a restriction as there is a neighborhood right next to the park

What you guys think of the retrosquad rides overall?

I think the trim was put in after the fact on thirteen because it was running too fast and overshooting the block section before the drop. Somebody correct me if I have that wrong.

It definitely wasn’t there in the early days.

@everyone: what do you think about the situation where the ride operator does not grant seat requests?

Mardi geas was ages ago! How long does it take you guys to upload videos?

@CoasterStudios 11 месяцев назад

We filmed this at the beginning of June, and we didn't get back from Europe until mid July. Since then, we've been busy posting other videos that we filmed before Alton Towers, while also going on other trips to film future content, so it is difficult to get everything out in a timely manner, especially when the videos are as long as this one
