Really enjoyed your coverage! How have I not come across your channel before :) Will be looking out for all your videos from now on! Great vlog!

[@_adventureplanet]

Thanks Ajay that’s much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed!

[@jakeclarke3617]

What Alton Towers have dome with the whole area around Nemesis Reborn is just amazing and it's great to see that there has been even more theming inhansments in the area and queline over that pasy few weeks!

[@_adventureplanet]

Absolutely - I had an off camera day recently and it’s clear that they are still adding to the area. Obviously the area was no where near finished on opening day, and that was clear in a number of areas so it’s good to see them finishing it off

[@DG95Official]

Love this

32:29 jeepers, that’s me!!! I’m the fellow with the blue coat and hoodie underneath next to the purple hoodie’d fellow, so strange seeing myself in a video of this scale :0

[@_adventureplanet]

Hey 😄 Hope you had a great opening day! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@henryattewell]

great vlog mate. i like the way you style your videos with the editing/commentary. also one of the only opening day vlogs that took us around the whole park!

[@_adventureplanet]

Thanks Henry. I tried my best but I’ll admit, I did lose quite a lot of time in Forbidden Valley 😅

[@stuartedgar9171]

Amazing vlog!! I was the bearded chap you rode Nemi with : ) Didn't make it into the shop as the queue and rain put us off so great for you to show what was inside. Keep up the good work!!

[@_adventureplanet]

Hi Stuart - was great to experience a ride on Nemi with you 😄 It was a shame the weather didn’t really let up in the evening, hope it didn’t take too much away from your day. Thanks so much for watching, much appreciated.

I'm really glad to hear that you liked my nemesis train model. It was great to see it get covered by the channel.

[@_adventureplanet]

The model was absolutely great work! Would love one for the studio! 😅😅

[@wildboy1983]

@@_adventureplanet I left some cards at the till but they were pretty busy yesterday... It's available for blind bid after it's finished at the shop mid April.

[@_adventureplanet]

Oh wow! I’ll keep watch. Thanks so much again for watching 👍🏻

[@dbgaming5952]

Fantastic vlog. 1:02:52 really looks great at night. 2010 was the last time I seen AT at night.

[@_adventureplanet]

I really hope it’s something that they do more of in the future. Forbidden Valley now especially looks amazing at night! Thanks for watching DB 👍🏻

[@Victor-m0]

I deffo want go Alton Towers again this year!

[@_adventureplanet]

You absolutely should! 😊

[@stevebrown1974]

21:38 that's me and my daughter! Nearly said hello but ran out of queue as it was moving so fast!! You definitely got into the shop at the wrong time, we went in there on the Sunday morning and it was stocked up again. Agree on the price of the zipped hoodie, I can see that being reduced quite quickly! They have new ride resins for all the coasters now including Nemesis, so it seems new merch is being added all the time. I'm waiting for for the Nemesis jigsaw!

[@_adventureplanet]

Thanks for watching Steve! I did leave it quite late in the day but I did revisit the following week off camera and picked up a few bits. I just missed the new resins unfortunately but they look great!

[@reece6876]

Nice video great work

[@_adventureplanet]

Thanks Reece, appreciate you watching my friend 👍🏻

[@jakeclarke3617]

I have also heard that the Nemesis Monsters claw that is ripping up the fake support next to the eye is infact an anamotronic and has been rumored to be testing out of park hours so hopefully we will see that moving soon and sinked in with the eye and we will see it opening amd closing and grapping the support when the train goes past!

[@user-ue6pk7gr7j]

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us! We were the ones that accosted you outside Rita 😁 We had a great day! Looking forward to your Thorpe Park vlog 😍

[@_adventureplanet]

Haha no worries, was great to meet you. Hope you had a better ride on Rita than I did 😖 Thanks for watching Terri.

[@user-lk5vh7ch8r]

Your vlogs are absolutely amazing,entertaining and also have some factual info! Would love to see some more of these blogs in the future!

[@_adventureplanet]

Ahh thank you 😊 There are plenty more on the way now that the season is back in full swing here in the UK

Indeed Take care are you going to Blackpool anytime soon be good to meet@@_adventureplanet

[@_adventureplanet]

I do hope to head back to Blackpool at some point this year, however it takes a bit more planning for that one as it’s a 4 hour drive away from me! I suspect I’ll revisit during the summer months 😊 Will keep you posted.

Brilliant vlog mate

[@_adventureplanet]

Thanks Keiran! Always appreciate your support my friend!

[@DjShamusUK]

Great Vlog Angel, it was great to chat with you & shocked you a little on who i was lol , i finally got in the shop & grab a cap of the reborn which is great quality. but yes for sure they cant keep that shop there & not have any of the merch in the other shops of Nemesis ReBorn, it was a Crazy setup doing that waiting over 1hr 30mins was a joke. anyways great vlog as always catch you at another park , keep grate work up ^5

[@_adventureplanet]

Was great meeting you buddy and glad you finally managed to pick up some Reborn merch! I was after a nice embroidered hoodie which they were sold out of so will pick one up on my next visit. Thanks so much for your continued support and will see you again soon 👍🏻

[@DjShamusUK]

yes i was after one of them too. only ones that was left what you showed in your Vlog & they wasn't worth that with only been Iron on transfer. im going back on tuesday so i can ride as many times as poss & hope grab the good quality hoodie then, tc be safe & keep the great content coming 👍

[@Th3Gr33k]

The machine that got replaced by the helicopter is an old mining drill. My old man used to drive similar machines. I hope it got kept and put on display somewhere. Always liked that link to the mining past.

[@_adventureplanet]

I always assumed it was more a drill than gun as it was a nice link to how the pit was created for the original ride. It’s a shame it now appears to have been removed completely. Hopefully it makes a return at some point during the finishing touches to the area.

[@rideexpedition]

It is dismantled and few bits placed along the queue line. It's near where the big gun is that faces the corkscrew

[@_adventureplanet]

Ahh never picked up on that! At least it’s still there in some form then…kind of 😕

[@lizsavagar2860]

Watched a lot of opening day vlogs.....yours is quality as always❤ AT have smashed this, the attention to detail is impressive, love the syncing of the eye and smoke with the trains. Forbidden Valley feels like it could be in Phantasialand the theming is so good. Is that a new barnet you're sporting btw? 😊

[@user-gq8fq8ji8o]

it looked like a machine gun to me

[@calebmontgomery7278]

i was on the first public ride of nemesis reborn

They have some retro Nemesis merch but unfortunately all the good Nemesis Reborn merch seem to have sold out ☹️ Thanks so much for watching!

not me seeing me with my dad and boyfriend when he shouted "its in" cos he saw the camera (32:30) im in the fluffy grey coat

I don’t blame you, the queue times were unreal in the morning! Glad you still had a great day though, and thanks so much for watching 😊

[@simonpatrick6329]

How much you getting each time you use the word phenomenal. You should be on a shopping channel too 😂

[@_adventureplanet]

Haha, phenomenal and fantastic are two of my favourite words currently! I’ll admit though, when I was editing it together, I thought wow, I say that a lot 😅 Thanks for watching Simon!

[@user-br2dq5iz6b]

hi can you go too gulliver's world

[@_adventureplanet]

Hi Callum - I would love to do the Gullivers parks, however they have a strict policy of not allowing adults into their park that are not accompanying children. I hope this changes at some point!

[@user-gq8fq8ji8o]

by the way, alton dropped festival of thrills and mardi gras, really to improve on events such as scarefest that have been very predictable the past few years, seeing the same mazes. although it might not seem the best at first, they're just trying to improve on the events they have currently. also, it is a real shame about the skyride and rapids, they've had like 6 months to do work on the rides and the rapids dont even look like theyve been cared for at all which is a shame lets just hope these issues get fixed 🤞🤞personally, i would like if they completely refurbished it, adding new theming such as african houses and water effects like other rapids have around the world.

[@_adventureplanet]

Let’s hope they are much improved this year. Scarefest sounds like it could be quite promising, and I’m hoping for something in the summer too, even if it’s not an official event 👍🏻

[@user-gq8fq8ji8o]

hopefully they will do something like summer of fun@@_adventureplanet

[@_adventureplanet]

@user-gq8fq8ji8o I really hope so!

[@stevebrown1974]

I think its clear they had every intent to open the Skyride this season, after all, why else would you waste time and money refreshing and painting all the stations if you knew they were just going to sit there for another 12 months? I suspect something cropped up at the last minute which forced them to keep it closed The rapids trough has had a jet wash over the winter (there are videos around from the company who did it) and they have reopened in the last week.

[@hollycrossman40]

Since the skyride was closed do yall have a station where you can rent wheelchairs, electric scooters for people with walking disabilities?

[@_adventureplanet]

Hi Holly - there are a limited number of wheelchairs that can be hired from Towers Street (I believe it’s a £20 refundable deposit). However it’s first come first served, and it’s a very limited number. They could certainly do better in this area.

[@hollycrossman40]

How was nemesis reborn

[@_adventureplanet]

Honestly I didn’t notice too much different from the old ride in terms of the ride itself, possibly riding a little slower than before however given its new, I’ll let it settle in for a couple of months first! It really is all about the new theming that makes it feel fresh and they’ve done an awesome job! Thanks for watching 😊

[@CoasterMadnessLuke]

Honestly, it was really good bit too smooth for my liking but really good
