Hex reopened at Alton Towers this week and we were there to experience the updated experience! In this vlog we share our thoughts on the changes made to Hex, along with talking about the technical work that Alton Towers and Vekoma have worked on behind the scenes. Unfortunately after just over 1 day, Hex is now closed again. In this video I share all of the latest updates!

I was in the vault when it broke. It was a piece of facia board covering the sliding door mechanism that came loose and got caught as the door moved behind the central part. It did look just superficial though hence the proposed Tuesday reopening date

Shaun your memory of the history of the parks, opinions and ideas are fantastic. But it's your communication and ability to explain your thoughts which are next level. Honest question: Why on earth aren't Alton Towers especially running ideas and concepts through you before going ahead with changes and plans? You have such a good idea of what works in Theme Parks. It seems daft they don't involve you and have you on the payroll. Keep up the good work pal

I am very grateful to have gotten on Hex yesterday and even got to sit next to you and have a chat about the disco lights after the ride 😂 I completely agree with what you said about the lights; it is like a disco and is very similar to what they did with Duel a few years back with the brighter lights. It is nice to see it back-well, hopefully back after it closed yesterday. I also hope that you being in the creator program will allow you to share improvement ideas with them.

Appreciate your honesty with this one. and glad that the creator programme isn't going to buy your approval of changes / things the park does! I've seen a couple of reviews from the opening day and the people seem to have their rose tinted glasses on! I have never been able to ride HEX as every single time I've been to the park it's been closed but people always told me how great it was partially due to it being super dark and scary! The lighting "upgrades" in the vault seem un-necessary. Fingers crossed they can just dial them back a bit and return it to it's former glory (after they fix it again I mean)

I do hope the content creator program gives you more freedom eg. filming on ride, more events, previews, behind the scenes and possibly letting you two go into the construction site of the new rides like when Thorpe let was it Jack Silkstone onto the site to keep people updated, this would make the vlogs even better !

The 'Content Creator Programme' is basically what every themepark in the country is already doing. And they messed this opportunity up straight away!

I loved the new colourful lighting! I've never been a fan of this or similar rides where there's a lot of waiting around room to room, I get easily bored. But I tried Hex again on the same day as this vlog after many years of avoiding it and I thought the octagon part was better than I remembered. The lap bars malfunctioned three times before being secured to ride though. They escorted a family off when they failed to close for the third time and I'm not sure why.

I've never experienced Hex, my first visit to AT was this year but since being a kid, Hex was the main reason I wanted to visit. I am a sucker for myths, legends and British history. It's a bucket list ride for me due to how it mixes local legends with the real towers with a good ride experience. I'm quite saddened to hear they've gone down the OTT flashy vibe, like monster party. I'll go back up to AT at some point and ride it, but I'm less hyped for it. Hopefully it reopens soon. Thanks to you both for your open and honest thoughts/reviews. It's good to hear content creators give their true opinions - hope the park listens to the masses with issues with availability and future improvements. Hope Charlotte is back on the rides soon! Get well soon xx

Hey there Shawn, I’m glad that you and Charlotte got back on Hex: Legend of the Towers at Alton Towers Resort, after being closed for two years. However, I agree with you, the lighting needs to be improved a bit. Maybe, they could bring back the old CRT Monitors, which would help re-introduce the classic feel of the attraction when it opened in 2000. Also, I'm so sorry to hear that the attraction was closed just a few hours after reopening. In my opinion, the overall maintenance unit at the park should get a massive overhaul. BTW, Charlotte looks very cute wearing that ghost hat. 👻👻😍😍😍😊😊

Thats always the issue when changing lights to LED. they dont have that same warm glow the old halogen lights had. it sounds like it needs a slower fade to imitate old halogen/ incandescent bulbs. I've also seen they've added the LCD monitors back to the octagon. I remember years ago they did that and everyone complained that the glow of the backlights ruined the immersion vs the old CRT monitors they had in there. Personally i think the CRT Monitors gave it that charm in there. so if they have't binned them yet... they should put them back or replace them with OLED screens to get that black level back down.

Absolutely!! I remember seeing opening day photos of Hex on Twitter, and the lighting looked fantastic!! I love the warm and subtle lighting in the queue, and the much colder baby blue lighting that would come up in the shows when the supernatural side of the story takes over. Subtle, but incredibly convincing and effective. Why can't we have lighting like that nowadays? Unfortunately lighting in theme parks these days seems very intentionally "in your face" simply for the sake of it, and ruins it personally. We need more warmer and subtle lighting back in indoor attractions. It is possible with LEDs, but its not a quick job and takes time to perfect it. I also agree with the CRTs, it gave the room a more industrial feel to it, making it a perfect contrast when the lights go out. CRTs aren't particularly expensive either and anyone can but a decent working one. I can't see why Towers can't reintroduce CRTs back in the ride. Not every piece of technical equipment needs to be the latest thing, that just takes the immersion away of being in a different place at a different time.

You would need more than just a slower fade to imitate the older lighting. You would need irregularities in the lens designs for the fixtures, or the diodes themselves . You would also need some kind of flicker unit capable of producing high quality flickers alongside the fixtures. As @themeparkworldwide notices, most LEDs lighting units in the ride have that artificial feel to them because they are programmed to a very basic level , or have simple fixtures, or use a simplistic DMX controller. It's not as immersive. The issue is the fact that the whole show control system is now digitally programmed, and while you "could" reinstall old CRT TVs in to the Octagon room (which I agree were far better), they'd be limited by the capability of the digital input signals from the show control unit (which are binary).You wouldn't have the rapid 'naturalistic' lightness contrast that you get from the phosphers of analog programmed CRTs. Those older CRT TVs worked so well in the Octagon room, and it's never been the same since they were removed and replaced in the early 2010s. Also, worth pointing out that most of that older style lighting wouldn't be allowed nowadays, due to the newer climate change regulations which the resort follows. It's unfortunate to hear about the lighting downgrade, either way. Hex used to have superb lighting.

I thought the lighting was good except for the tree (the fibre optics). Like you said it was better more subtle. I don't like how it flashes between colours, like it could atleast be a gradual fade if not putting it back to the original analog light. That said I had a pretty awesome time on the Scare Fest date a few days ago, pretty sure magic is coming back to the park in general.

We love Hex, but I’m not a fan of the refresh. It’s all good up until that hexagon shaped room where they’ve put way to many lights in there… It spoils the illusion as you can look around and see everything. It way better when it was dark a spooky. And why have they put disco lights in the main ride room… also it was better with the low lighting. Not a fan now it’s all been lit up

I haven’t been on Hex for a good 6 years. But I always felt it could be slightly better lit on the walk through to see more of the interior. And at the end of the ride when the tree lit up, I thought it look like battery powered fairy lights which were on their way out. I hope it’s open for Run Alton Towers. A little embarrassing for the park when their press material said the ride had completed 3000 cycles to be ready to open to the public 🙈

I think the new lighting will grow on us... The first time I went in I was skeptical and thought like you Shawn The Second time I liked it And the third time I appreciated what they have done.... I agree that it could be a little bit toned down in some areas but I think it has modernized with the times

We visited the park yesterday and due to rides breaking down we didn't get on a ride til gone 1pm! It's a combination of bad luck and unreliable rides. And because of so many ride closures, the queues to the remaining rides are huge, so it's really disappointing if you're there for a day and struggle to get on the big rides. We have gold passes so it's not so bad for us. But I can imagine if you'd paid for a day pass you'd be really disappointed and angry. I even spoke to staff who commented on the ride breakdowns getting worse and how frustrating it is for themselves and the guests. Towers is such an amazing park, but it's being let down by the cost cutting and maintenance issues. Hex being closed was another huge disappointment too.

Visited Alton last Friday and I think the park is looking really poor at the moment. I just feel like not enough time and effort is being put into the maintenance of the park, it's looking untidy and old which is really sad. The gardens are looking bad too, there was loads of litter around the pond and very overgrown! So sad to see :(

I think the is too much cost cutting happening. I know costs are high but the way I see it they need to find a way to keep everything operational and safely too. For paying customers this is not good enough.
