Alton Towers Vlog August 2024

Join us as we return to Alton Towers to bring you all of the latest updates this summer! We head around the full park checking out everything currently happening, from summer queue times through to ride availability. Along with that we talk about upcoming new rides, Scarefest 2024 and take a look at some new merchandise in Towers Trading!

Your channel probably has one of the most detailed and amazing vlogs youtube has to offer. Love that you are occasionally doing the povs in the vids aswell!

It was great to meet you both yesterday and thank you for taking the time to have a photo with me midway in the Nemesis queue! I managed to ride Nemesis 4 times yesterday and it is now my favourite ride! Meeting you both really made my day!

Nemesis Reborn looks so good in the summer when the trees are green and the red veins really pop out!

Glad to see to work on Wickerman after the small fire on that took place last week. It genuinely took me by surprise to see any sort of small fire at it, just goes to show how well trained theme park staff are. Getting everyone out of the queue quickly, and stopping it before anything else more serious could’ve happened.

Everyone has a favourite ride at Alton Towers, Shawn has a favourite TREE! 🤣

Nout more nostalgic than a warm, slightly melted cheese sandwich at a UK theme park during the summer!

Thank you for the update and congratulations both on your wedding! Loved your videos in Japan!
I usually take my daughter to AT we have had an annual pass for the last 5 years but we didnt renew it this year.
Watchibg your vlog i am glad we didnt. Since Covid ride availability has been patchy and it doesnt look to have improved much. My daughter has a ride access pass and it has been so difficult having to pre book, plus lots of queues when you get in for a mobility scooter etc, the last time we went it was over an hour to queue when we got in which isnt really doable for us.
We will keep watching though and hopefully if things improve we might sqeeze a visit in for Scarefest as we do miss our visits.
Thank you for the updates!

apparently a source said that towers want to focus on refreshing the park first before horizon, hence the tape and painting for the smiler, not sure how true this is though

Absolutely adore Nemesis, it's the rollercoaster that made me fall in love with theme parks and every single coaster I've been on since. Now have a custom hoodie with a photo of the loop and I'm always excited when I get to go on it. The rollercoaster that is such an AMAZING experience every time without fail and just always never fails to make me smile. Love Nemmy so much! ❤❤ Great vlog as always x

We went for the first time on Tuesday/Wednesday, so just before your visit. The trommel wasn't working in Curse on Tuesday either. Lovely visit but agree with your points about ride availability. After coming up from the South of England to visit, it felt underwhelming at times. Highlight was X Sector, Gloomy Wood & Forbidden Valley. We noticed lots of empty cars on various rides despite long queues too. Also some areas of the park seemed a bit rundown or dirty.. but overall, a beautiful park with a lot of potential in the areas that need love. Hope they can get it all upto the same quality as Cursed, Nemesis, Smiler, etc.

I went yesterday and as we were queueing for galactica it got stuck on the chainlift so we went to the smiler and it was also stuck in the station

Every time you go to Alton towers I burst with energy especially as scarefest is on the way I am going in October I am so excited

[BRKS]

I’d actually like to see dark Forrest be the next land to get a massive do over. Paint the whole area. Do something with Rita. Get a flat ride installed.

[tylercollins]

I just want to say I really appreciate you both. Been a fan of the channel since 2019 and I look forward to every new vlog. The amount of detail and effort you put in is what makes you the best on YouTube. Keep up the awesome work.

I’m at carrowinds in a few hours, I used your vlogs to show my parents and now we are going! Super excited :)

[BoomDoll]

I remember the swan boats, it was one of the few rides my parents would go on including the log flume and the original dark ride 😅

Great video Shawn and Charlotte from an update from Alton Towers to bring you all of the latest updates this summer! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😃😎👍👍👍👍👍

[NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Shawn and Charlotte. You give a really comprehensive vlog that explains how the park is running. It certainly was a nice day that you visited. Take care. Nick

The donner and chicken kebab wrap in a naan bread in the dark forest area opposite Rita is UNREAL. Me and my partner got one around 10 pound per wrap at like 11am and kept us both full the entire day even for a night time ride on the new nemesis! if you've forgot your packed lunch highly recommend. Me and my partner both huge fans and were gutted we missed you that day hahahah
