I don’t think it’s “cheeky” at all, especially considering that unfortunately it had been vandalised when public had full access to the Towers. These buildings and monuments should be preserved, hopefully the additional revenue will go exclusively into restoration closer to its former glory. It’s not just the Towers itself either, the entire gardens is Class 1, so it should look it. The vast majority of this tour can still be enjoyed for free.

Really enjoyed this vlog. I've never been to Alton towers, but I've known of it since Nemesis was being built the first time. I've always been fascinated with how the park was built on the grounds of an old castle. To have a guided tour of the castle and gardens is definitely worth the time and current price. One thing that jumped out was the amount they spent as recently as 2010 to renovate the conservatory. That tells me they understand the importance of keeping the structures in tact. Also really liked the music selection and some of the camera shots you took. Not the least of which, looking down at your feet and the stairs as you climbed the tower along with the music was a great touch. Excellent vlog , I've learned to expect nothing less from this channel!

What a great video, its the little things that mean the biggest part in a theme park. The history of Alton towers is absolutely amazing and it fascinates me seeing and hearing all of the stories of the towers and surrounding areas. Crazy to think that the towers and the grounds used to be somewhere that someone lived. God, could you just imagine living there with your butlers, what a spoilt lifestyle 😂 The gardens are amazing and im glad to see them still spending a lot of money on refurbishments and maintaining the heritage. Its the one thing that disney doesnt have, a real life castle in the middle. Thats what makes its so unique!!!! Thanks both for another great video, hope you both had an absolutely amazing wedding. Best of luck to you both and heres to the future 🍻

I've been saying they should do something like this for a while. The money really needs to go back into the Towers and the gardens. Maybe they should take some inspiration from the likes of Blenheim palace /Hampton court etc for this. From the videos you can clearly see that the towers are not the condition they used to be. But also be nice to see these expanded to different days. Great video again and congratulations!

£10 is a great price to me. It’s nice to see the gardens getting the recognition it deserves. Whoever is in charge of the upkeep has always kept them up to such a beautiful high standard. 😊 Edit- I also think the tour option allows for more of a family experience, so if you have a couple of older/elderly people in your group, or someone who doesn’t like theme park rides, instead of being left with the bags all day they can enjoy something different.

I’m so pleased the towers are back open and like the idea of a guided tour however if they want to charge £10 on top of admission it should either be just before park opening or after park closure so that you aren’t taking time out your day on the rides which you have already paid for in admission for something else, half of which (the garden section) you could explore on your own in park time

Definitely worth the money for 2 hours. I'd definitely do it if I lived closer but it takes hours on public transport and hard to ride everything in a day without 2 hours on a tour. Definitely is a lovely thing to do for people since free to roam has now been stopped.
@ObsessiveGeek
@ObsessiveGeek Ай бұрын
Go for more than one day then. I’m in Glasgow (Scotland) and have managed to visit using only public transport. Though first day I managed to hit most the big rides without even trying, so if you only wanted to go for the day you could experience most the resort though I feel you must accept that it’s always going to be a bit more rushed in comparison to if you go for two or more days. Personally when I’m travelling a good distance I want to make the most of it, so it’s always worthwhile making the time taken to get to the location as a separate day. This will greatly reduce any stress and make the entire trip more enjoyable.

I think this is a brilliant idea especially for parents if they're letting their teenagers run wild on all the rides (my grandparents used to take me, grandad was definitely not going on nemmy!) so it's a nice option for something to do especially since getting into the gardens that are openly available have stairs and tricky places that aren't accessible for those with mobility issues!

So much of interest in the grounds apart from the rides, I've always loved it and want to spend longer exploring it.

Also wish they’d allowed access to the north wing etc…there’s so much that could be accessible on a tour that’s just stuffed with junk atm

I agree with you the money raised needs to go back into restoration of the ruins and gardens, they need to remove the vegetation that has grown in the ruins and the orangery to prevent further damage to the buildings. I thought the orangery had received some funding form English Heritage for repairs. The Canal like you said and bandstand also need tidying up. If they repaired the bandstand and the large ground floor rooms in the ruins they could have some concerts in them. They are asking people to pay twice as you already pay to enter the park so it should be used for restoration purposes i would be disappointed if they did not.

I'm glad the towers are open. Even if it is £10 pp. I went to alton for the first time 2 years ago and we couldn't go inside the towers and I was gutted.

Hey @theme park world wide question about Alton towers and toure I was a huge fan of the flume and his horrific duck. I can see the tunnel is still in place so each time I pass it I feel the urge to hope over the fence and just have a look if the duck is still there To avoid a ban from Alton towers any chance you could use your connection to find out or even might visit the lost tunnel of Alton towers /-?
