Fantastic work. I don't understand how anyone can dislike this, national TV hasn't done anything better. Also, what a legend John Wardley is. Such a softly spoken, sweet fella and yet he's responsible for some of the most innovative and vicious rides ever made.

Only watched the first five minutes so far, but it's interesting to see how many other people feel the same way about Alton Towers as I do - I've been coming since I was tiny, and growing up, going to Alton Towers was always the most incredible, fun way to spend the day. The amount of nostalgia I get from simply hearing In the hall of the mountain king is incredible, it really is my favourite place to be on earth (which is why I only go around once a year because I never ever want to get used to it).

I’m new to this channel and I wish I’d found it sooner . Such an amazing channel !! You must have done so much research I order to find the old videos and all the facts . I love Alton Towers and these facts make me so much more interested in the Towers past . Although Ripsaw closed before I was born , it looks so amazing and I wish it was still there . Many amazing rides actually closed before I was born but I’m so glad that nemesis is there ( and that my mother forced me to go on it 😂) as it is now my second favourite ride just behind Galactica . It was disappointing that they took the headsets off Galactica, probably due to travel sickness , but , luckily , I got a go with the headsets on . But I will always love Alton Towers , and every time I go I remember the best memory’s .

It was a pleasure, no problem at all! I think you're right about our ages, I was born in 79. I remember being taken to Towers in 94 and looking at the coasters on offer. I chose Thunder Looper because with just the one inversion I thought it might ease me into it. How wrong was I! That thing was seriously intense, and from there it was straight onto Nemesis for 4 rides in a row without getting off. I was hooked. Hope to see you soon, as Tina said earlier today on Twitter, we'll have to arrange to get together at some point with the small people.

I was watching some old footage of Alton Towers from the early 80's when it cost just £3.99 to get in! Nowadays, it costs way more than that to have lunch there :D

There was no castle, Norman or otherwise, that ever stood on the site of Alton towers. The Norman castle stood in the village of Alton. The ruins are still there. Alton towers was originally a hunting lodge that was expanded by the 15th Earl & also the 16th Earl. Never ever a castle there.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! Drayton Manor now has Vikings but still no Castle :( Is there still a castle in the Village of Alton?

Yes. It was built on the site of the Norman Castle which you stated in your video was on the site of Alton towers. To be fair to you virtually every video I've seen on the history of Alton towers makes this same mistake. I think I've seen one maybe two videos that are correct in this regard. I live in Alton and the Norman castle's ruins are still there, as is the castle designed by A.W. Pugin built using the 16th Earls money on the site of the Norman castle that was decommissioned and left to ruin after the civil war...not destroyed during the civil war.

If you're ever in the vicinity of Alton I urge you to go to see the castle. It really is a stunning place. I went to school right next to it which is why I'm so passionate about the history of the castle.

No no no a Norman castle didn't stand there. The ruins of the Norman castle still exist in the village of Alton. There was an iron age fort around the area of the flagtower.
