Early this year we decided to go back to Alton towers because we loved it so much! Me, my Dad and my brother all love theme parks and at least go once a year. I've been to one this year so far.

[@benjamindyer8249]

Remember going on this with our school party early 1980's. Went on with Gordon Rowland (A tall guy) Kevin Lunny and myself. That dark drop got me, seemed to go on forever back then. The final big drop, Kevin and I decided to duck as the flume hit the bottom leaving poor Gordon to take the full might of the water. We were in school uniform and boy he was soaked right through. Being April it was cold and he was shivering sadly to the amusement of many who attended from Vale of Catmos College in good old Oakham Rutland

[@samwalden4946]

Why did they remove so many great rides at alton towers

[@blackbearish]

ride removal is due to changing expectations, as well as age of ride. wasn't the flume 30 years old plus? there is only so much milage you can get out of a ride. Nemesis is going through a retrack to prolong its life soon.

[@xsm5525]

I know Wickerman is amazing, but I think AT made a huge mistake removing this ride, surely they could have bought more land and built wickerman somewhere else?

[@TripAndCash2021]

Actually they couldn’t just buy more land. Firstly it’s not owned by Merlin, it’s leased. Secondly there is plenty of restrictions in terms of possible expansion. Saying this I agree that the flume was a great and popular ride which is very missed.
