Exploring The Alton Towers Ruins | History Tour & AMAZING Rooftop Views!

You can really tell that Shawn used to work here as a guide! I feel like he's giving us a personal tour

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you! Running the history tours was definitely one of the my favourite parts of working at the resort!

This has to be one of my favourite videos you've ever made, im fascinated

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you! I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed it!

[@AudreyMealiff]

This is so informative, thank you for this. I love how you are passionate about the Towers and history and not just the theme park. I was lucky to have a quick walk through the Towers back in 2010 when I visited Alton Towers. It was fantastic to see it. A lovely chilled out place after the excitement and buzz of the park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much!

[@jonathandixon2896]

One thing I never realised (until it happened) was you can actually see the top of Galactica's lift hill from the roof of the towers. Very far away and movement on the tracks helps you spot it, but yeah it's visible. :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

You can indeed!

[@adamwade7990]

So special, wish they’d have it open more, it’s great, especially for parents who take their kids their for the rides and they want to explore the towers! The views are great

[@Wickerlad_2002]

Could you do a history vlog at somepoint going round the park and talking about the history and previous rides that used to stand in places around the park and when they opend and closed and what replaced them and what is there now.

[@ChazzCoombes]

Cheers for this video Shawn. This is why I love Towers. Theme Park, The History and the Gardens it has it all.

[@richardjohn658]

i remember going in there in the mid 80s where there was a big model railway there (like a hornby model display)

[@PeterNancarrow]

I also remember the model railway - It was in the chapel - 3:07 - It was removed before they restore the roof and put in a new stain glass window.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The railway was indeed inside the chapel!

[@PeterNancarrow]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Nice video but was the chapel closed when you went?

[@christinecoleclough3915]

Just returned from Alton Towers and I was excited to be able to go inside, it got me really interested in the history of the building. So pleased I came across your vlog, I agree that they should open it all and restore the hidden areas!

[@MrStickman1997]

I always like peeking around for remnants of the horror attractions whenever I look around the towers ruins.

[@TheFilthAndMud]

Shaun is always so happy!

[@beverley_anne_88]

I never knew you could explore the towers!!! Absolutely have to do this on my next trip up to AT! Love this vlog.

[@CalMusicCovers]

Lots of amazing history in that building, would love to see the rest of the beautiful towers

[@davidbanford8705]

Been looking forward to this vlog! I think Alton Towers is missing a trick here, The Older market, The whole family could make a day of it. Grandparents off for the day in the Towers and gardens instead of standing holding bags and coats at the excit of a ride! Maybe a none rider ticket at £20.00 For myself I would have one day on the rides one day exploring the Towers. So thank you for another treet, I really feel its time for you both to join the Nation Trust, there are 100s of new vlogs there, and we would watch everyone!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing tour thoughts!

[@clarebeddoes9631]

It uses to be more geared up for families in the 80s last time I visited seemed to focus on young adults and teenagers.

[@amos9797]

Been going to alton towers for years and never been around the ruins until today with great views of the park I have never seen thanks for filling in the gaps in history for us

Glad you had a good time!

[@carolinerobson7866]

Thank you loved this! Great to know about the history of Alton Towers! Visited this Sunday me and my 4year old had a lovely walk around the gardens and Manor House, such pretty gardens we wish we lived nearby to explore alot more!!! Fantastic day…

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@richardrees8784]

such an amazing, magical building and place with so much fulfilled but also still SO MUCH POTENTIAL. Alton Towers have come soooo far with their ideas and creativity but you can tell there is still soooo much more to come...thank you so much Shawn for making this video I have always wanted to tour the towers as I love old historical buildings, also thank you for sharing some of your personal story when you were showing those epic, stunning views, keep doing what your doing, living the dream, sharing your passion and loving life xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It would be great to see them utilise the buildings more!

[@robertmichaels8001]

Funny story about Hex. My mum and I were at Alton Towers years ago. I was about 11 years old; my mum wasn’t one for the big rides but was also not a stickler for the rules either. We explored the castle ruins and happened upon the exit for the ride Hex. Well my mums idea was to jump onto the ride and skip the lines. We did just that. We didn’t get any backstory for the ride so had no idea what it was about. The ride started and anyone who knows Hex, knows it tricks your mind into thinking you’re upside down, spinning round and all sorts. My mum was screaming and was saying “I’m gonna fall out, I’m gonna fall out” she was genuinely frightened. The people next to us must have found it hilarious. She closed her eyes and squeezed my hand so tight, it hurt. When the ride finished, she was as white as a ghost and honestly aged about 10 years. That’ll teach her for breaking the rules haha. I loved it though. From then on, Hex has been one of my favourites at the park. Fantastic memories. Haven’t been back in about 8 years, but watching this makes me really wanna go back for nostalgic reasons and take my own daughter.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@johnycabs]

I never knew till now there was so much access to the towers!! I wanna see it all, I'd love to see it all accessible. I'm going on visit next week and I'll b sure to go more into the towers knowing I can!

[@dwayneabsolutelydribblin3903]

You never really see many going in and out of these ruins it’s amazing like a secret area

[@rachelhaines6922]

I have always been fascinated by the history of The Towers and gardens and its eventual development in to the theme park we know today. I have an old guidebook dated from the fifties and from what I've read I can only imagine how grand some of the rooms must have been

[@dwayneabsolutelydribblin3903]

Love the Ruins and gardens here beautiful full of surprises 👍🏻

[@simonwhite6704]

Only live 20mins from towers and I have been visiting for 20 years .. but I learnt so much from this video ! Cheers Shawn great work 👍👍👍

[@littlecherryful]

That video was amazing I LOVE Alton Towers and I never knew you could walk in Altone towers like that . I hope one day Alton towers keep renovating the building it self to it originals

[@timmclaughlin601]

I did see you on the day you made this vid, I called out to you as you stood next to The Smiler. We visited the ruins again Tuesday (8th) and the door behind you at 10:30 was open! This door led to some sections of the scare maze and some of the behind the scenes areas. We were able to navigate through the maze using the phone torch, it was nice to see the maze without the actors inside and the audio on.

[@Sploooks]

I went to Alton Towers of the first time last week and the first thing that struck me was how beautiful the towers were, having not gotten close to it I was sure it was going to be equally beautiful inside. Then I got up close and realised it was an empty shell, went on all the rides and enjoyed myself afterwards, but to be honest, from the fact that it’s quite depressing that the Abbey fell into disrepair.

[@ENSŌ_queen]

Found the entrance to the roof, with a little help from you, Shawn, so thanks laddo!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That’s great to hear!

[@Cosmictrev1983]

Agree with you its such a lovely building to walk around and visit. And for it to be always closed cause off scare mazes is wrong. When i worked there we went around all the out of bounds area to the public and Wow some amazing sites. Towers to a good job in looking after the building but the public should be aloud to enjoy the splendor of it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely!

[@matthewsouthwell9653]

You get some amazing views from up there!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

You do indeed!

[@GLI1346101]

Wonderful video, Shawn. I learned a lot about the history of the Alton Towers building and the history behind it while it was a country estate before the theme park was built.

[@andrewdolby178]

I too would really enjoy a FULL tour. Would love to see an aerial shot to gauge the size. Get a drone

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It would be great to film a full tour. Maybe one day it’ll be possible!

[@folignoa]

Shawn this may not have the views of some of your other videos, but I really think it’s one of the best you’ve ever done. Nothing else like it on KZbin and demonstrates brilliantly why this brilliant park is like no other place on the planet

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

The hounds at the top of the Towers is that where the Henry Hound mascot originated?

Very enjoyable tour of the towers!! Really enjoy old ruins, heritage and theme parks like yourself. Fascinating to see the rooms and grounds and even more intrigued to know what is behind the oddors and within other unexplored areas. Love how historic the grounds and gardens are. Alton towers has that "real" magic, mystery and history

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The towers really are the heart of the resort and have so much history to them!

[@buster8015]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Totally..... Hopefully they can enable more access to other areas. The whole estate and history is truly fascinating and has so many things to discover. Real history has a certain "aura"and mystique.... Alton Towers has a mystique like no other. Whack a few more of these type walks and wanders around on adventure Shawn it would be great 👍

Shaun I remember a long time ago the entrance to the ruins being the bridge across the moat at the front, you could access loads of places and in the cellar, so disappointed on last visit 06/22 that none was open through the Orangery as you did. didnt stop me moving guard rail and going behind the curtain and looking anyway. but still very few rooms not locked of to look in , shame with such a magnificent building that these supposed restoration has been going on for decades with little to show for. loved y vid
