Did You Know? Alton Towers (feat. Coaster Bot)

[@ethanlamb20059]

ive always admired alton towers at what it wanted to accomplish like oblivion,smiler,rita ect truly the most loved park and the best one in the uk

[@Jacob_-yi6oy]

Agreed!

[@annoying_girlxoxo7147]

Definitely true

[@bcolerl8915]

I wouldn't say smiler has the greatest accomplishments

[@beanbob6971]

@Bcole I would say it is. It has about 14 loops and it kept failing the tests. Now it's working perfectly.

[@thelegsonthebusgostepsteps5161]

Jacob_ 0711 I like Blackpool better

[@greghudson4906]

Apparently a section of floor in the Smiler shop was originally going to feature viewing glass above the first inversion, heard this one a few times

[@dantopps7332]

that would have been amazing

[@Archman155]

It actually does, but you can't see the track as it is too dark.

[@haleynorthpie6740]

Archman 155 And since it had no purpose, they frosted the glass with dots :o

[@paperbucket8071]

Archman 155 If the maintenance lights are on, you can actually see the track.

[@hayato5815]

I actually never knew Alton towers was THAT big.

[@moo9874]

Marshmallow Blob my legs did,they hurt afterwards xD

[@Echodolly6]

It's a huge area but a lot of it has no rides in. A big part of the area are the gardens.

[@yes.4795]

@@Echodolly6 If it had no rides at all it would be an actal park

[@mouseyrumbal4067]

[@lettucemuncher7]

No wonder I ended up in the gardens wiles trying to find nemesis (it was my second time at Alton towers so I had no idea we’re I was going.)

[@JohnnyForRansom]

The roar of the tracks makes the smiler seem even more scary

[@ScrewyLoops]

Love that sound 💖👌

[@JohnnyForRansom]

ScrewyLoops ikr it sounds so cool. The whole hectic feel of the smiler and the roar of the tracks makes it sound kind of like a machine is operating, maybe like the marmalizer in the center

did you know morons at my school think rita is the worlds fastest ride and apparently it goes 100mph lol XD

[@Samuel_Hearfield]

It's 100 kmh (or ~62mph).

[@verbee4856]

Wow don't they research the ride i look up the the height not judge it lol btw my profile picture is tooken my self its and my names Ellis

[@verbee4856]

And if it say meters say a hight of rollercoaster and translate it into ft

[@jaywadd316]

ellis how is it no matter what I do you follow me (ellis is a friend of mine)

[@verbee4856]

What

[@electrohalo8798]

so if alton didn't have height restrictions OH MY GOLLY THERE WOULD BE STRATO COASTERS WITH 500FT AND BIGGER DROPS

[@galrides934]

In a nutshell, yeah

[@wurble]

It's like a blessing in disguise because it means they have to get creative with the coasters. IMO, Nemesis is one of the greatest coasters in the world, partly because of how it flows with the landscape they created for it. So much more interesting than a coaster just plonked on an area of flat land.

[@connieonrecord]

my fav ride at Alton towers has to be nemesis

[@SominaAlam]

@No same here you can tell by my profile picture

[@evdavii6916]

I found oblivion scarier than it is because the drop is longer than you think

[@moo9874]

2:07 THEY WERENT SCRAPPED!!!!! They were just placed behind the garbage can!!!!! THERES STILL HOPE!!!!!!!!

[@chloedearden9498]

It’s weird whenever I go on oblivion I forget what happens after the drop so in my mind I remember looking down and then I forget everything until we are waiting to go back to the place where you get on See idk what it is but if something “traumatic” happens to me I forget everything a bit before and after

[@Yasin_2312]

That’s why it called Oblivion because you forget and get traumatised after the drop

Actually the first complete circuit rollercoaster with a vertical drop isn't Tower of Terror at Gold Reef City (opened Dec 2001). It was actually Hypersonic XLC at Kings Dominion (opened March 2001). The first coaster to go vertical was Tower of Terror II (originally named: Tower of Terror) at Dreamworld (opened Jan 1997) [This is a shuttle coaster].
