HEX REOPENING and other ramblings at Alton Towers

[@desk123411]

Excellent video again. Loving the content.

Thanks buddy, you're very kind! Glad you enjoyed it, Adam 😃

Aw i love Hex, always a bit of fun without a huge queue. I thought they might have done something a bit different with the reopening but i suppose its good as it is!

[@AltonTowersMemories]

Yeah, it hasn't really changed that much. Just a few little extra touches to polish it up a bit really (and fixing the major problem that forced it to keep closing). Still a good fun ride :)

[@Jordan_Starr]

@@AltonTowersMemories such a shame about the lower part of the gardens looking a bit neglected, I wonder if they're leaving it till spring now 🤔

[@AltonTowersMemories]

@@Jordan_Starr It does happen quite often that you come back when the theme park opens again in late march and they've done a fair bit of work, so it's certainly possible. It's well due! They don't do it every year though from memory. Think it's been 2-3 years since the canal was last sorted out.

Oh haha we did nearly meet that’s me with the Legoland bag at 2:23

[@AltonTowersMemories]

Oh yeah, well now your visit has been recorded for posterity 😀

[@carlyemms]

@@AltonTowersMemories Haha yes, captured forever, my determined stomp into Hex :D Also, similarly appalled at the state of the canal. We did the heritage tour in July and I didn’t even recognise it at first. The frustrating thing is, if they kept on top of it, it wouldn’t be a massively labour intensive/costly job.

[@AltonTowersMemories]

@@carlyemms Yeah, totally agree. The problem is simply a lack of staff in the gardens. They want to do everything but there's just not enough of them. I don't think they can leave the canal for another year though, it needs to be done this closed season to some extent.

[@carlyemms]

@@AltonTowersMemories Yeah that’s a real shame for the dedicated gardeners they do have, it must be so frustrating for them. Makes me want to grab a pair of waders and get it done 😅
