Alton Towers Lightopia Vlog November 2021

[@punkykarooney2912]

Wow 🤩 Alton Towers have literally gone above even way beyond with their lighttopia extravaganza this year with all the different spectacular themes which they've included interactive light animatronics, the Halloween was spooktacular by having eery music adding an extra spooky vibe to it, the animals butterflies walk through lighted tunnels were pretty much more fun and magical one lighted tunnel in particular at the Halloween section with the smoky misty that was like an illusion from a horror movie lol to sum it up in a nutshell Alton Towers and yourself are jam packed of unexpected amazing surprises Cheers and looking forward to seeing your next adventurous vlogmasses

[@CatsnCoasters]

I'm leaving my standard like but can't watch until I've seen it in person. Can't wait to walk around it with the kids.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a great time!

[@CatsnCoasters]

Just got back from AT today. How awesome was Lightopia, well worth the money. Let's hope AT continue this for many years to come. Finally got on Hex for the first time....was brilliant, so under rated.

[@stevebrown1974]

Glad you liked Hex, it's one of - if not the best - dark rides in the country!

[@CatsnCoasters]

@@stevebrown1974 definitely, certainly the best themed. Really enjoyed it. Not sure why it took me over 20 years to try it!

[@stevebrown1974]

@@CatsnCoasters It'll be a definite for every visit from now on then! Next time you're up there don't forget to visit the actual chained oak tree, that's spooky in itself! Hex was closed towards the end of last season and between then and now it's had a bit of work on it apparently, so I think you've experienced it at it's best!

[@CatsnCoasters]

@@stevebrown1974 yes indeed. The real tree is definitely on my to do list. Watched a documentary on it a few weeks back. Very interesting. Roll on March!

[@MattTalkTech]

I really loved this video and love what Alton Towers have done! Booking my tickets now! Thank you for another great video Shawn and Charlotte! 😀

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. Have a great time!

[@altonalex1235]

The congo River rapids waterfalls are being repaired, There building a new facade for them due to the old one crumbling away, there also fitting new water pumps in there, all I'm gonna say is be there for the first day of 2022 and keep an eye out on Alton Towers social media....

[@monkeygaming2841]

yessss

[@jaysoncowan4333]

I saw that on lift hills and thrill’s instagram so good to see!

[@louiswright8282]

And it looks like some work is being done to Duels coffin with the zombie as the lights seem to be purposely covering the entire thing, as if they don't want us to see something...

[@bunkerboy02]

Is this for real?! I hope so! It could be so good and yet right now - it’s dire.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’ll be interesting to see what happens!

[@Michelle-qd9gm]

Brilliant thankyou Shaun and Charlotte for showing us around it looks magical

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching. It really is fantastic!

[@redbison6417]

I can finally watch this video now I went myself tonight. I want to echo what shawn said about going later when it's quiet, we went at 4:30pm and although it's amazing it's too crowded.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Glad you had fun!

[@attractionshubno1]

Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte, I’m now up to date with ur legendary videos ☺️

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@attractionshubno1]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide you’re welcome

[@MrSavageFoxVR]

From what I was told the water falls on rapids is being fixed and be switched back on 2022 season. The reason they turned them off was due to people standing up out of the seats

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’ll be great if so!

[@punkykarooney2912]

Wow 🤩Shawn you definitely know how to keep us TPWW fans connected and totally 100 %hooked up on your awesome exciting vlogs, your lighttopia vlog was spectacular on so many different levels just keep on giving us so much virtual fun, I loved Charlotte's cute version of Harry Potter's mandrake impersonation, aww bless her, she's ever so kind generous and super sweet mostly I admire her very cheesy sense of humour the same applies for you as well Shawn

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@usheikh14]

The earliest I’ve been to a video - looking forward to it!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@themeparktiger8112]

I think the park has done a excellent job with lightopia. Every area has been thought about and executed brilliantly.!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They have indeed!

[@sahabshraddha8453]

Hi guys 😊 what a lighting 💥 I hve seen first time 💕 so amazing 🎄🎄⛄⛄Nd uu explore very well... Enjoy the tour 💗 Nd winters ⛄❣️🎄🎄🎄

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

This looks amazing !!! There’s so many of these light show walkthroughs around the UK now and was loads last year when the lockdowns were still around as you could go for a walk outside !! One at Blenheim Palace and at Longleat was amazing and definitely worth checking out

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They’ve done a great job!

[@CatsnCoasters]

Observation from today.....The Blade has gone!! Does the entire ride get moved for maintenance over winter? Just the station remains.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It does indeed! It’ll be back in time for the season!

[@marybradley7791]

the themes for Lightopia at Yorkshire Wildlife Park are World of Fantasy, Animal adventures, Under the Sea and Fairytail Kingdom.

[@marybradley7791]

The lightopia at yorkshire wildlife park is different from the one at alton towers and they also have a small vintage fair with an old fashioned ferris wheel. I think its only on for about another week though. I loved your vlog on alton towers lightopia it looks brilliant. Its great you filmed it as i dont think i will be able to get to that one.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@themeparksvisionart]

Fantastic video!! 43:16 did you know light wing owl there have Xbox kinect, you stand there your arm wave will copy you light movements light up and down wing like go fly.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dale4358]

Woo just booked this. First time at Alton towers too and excited to do something I’ve seen on your vlog

[@hayleyrobinson4256]

Thank you soo much for making this video i wanted to go to alton towers to see this event but couldnt get there so watching this video is brill 😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@TravellingMagical]

It’s great that they did this in Alton Towers this year! We did the Manchester version for the first time yesterday absolutely loved it!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They’ve done a great job!

[@captainmeow5335]

They need a gift shop selling miniature versions of the display models! It was illuminating thank you!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Now that would be awesome!

[@Eltrop]

Impressive, I love the art style

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s brilliant!

[@judithcoupe7002]

Aww that was beautiful and my favourite part was the angel wings at the end, absolute perfect photo opportunity :-)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s absolutely fab!

[@mingajinglilian8766]

Looks beautiful the time and money spent creating all the epic lightning and sets

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It really is brilliant!

[@kkrispy2009P]

Amazing blog TPW lovely lights package and it's nice walking tour

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. They’ve done a fantastic job with this!

[@pauldavies2178]

I’m glad they have the option of just doing Lightopia separate as not interested in the rides on offer so would possibly have been put off with a higher price for entry if that was the case.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@ParksandPosh]

Had decided I wasn’t going to travel since there aren’t any of the larger coasters open but watching this is making me have a rethink 😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s definitely worth it just for this alone!

[@fazbeartowers43a.k.awicker20]

HOLY JESUS CHRISTMAS!!! IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!! The water show is gonna make me freak out when I see it in a vid

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s absolutely epic!

[@marybradley7791]

they have a lightopia at yorkshire wildlife park as well. Are you going to show us the twinkling lights in the gardens as well?

[@outaboutuk9955]

You wouldn’t think you was in the UK’s biggest theme park 😁

[@jwhpotter8109]

Doing this Saturday, can’t wait!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a fantastic time. It’s excellent!

[@jeffreytherabbit8105]

I went to it and I really enjoyed it!

[@history_leisure]

43:20 the wings remind me more of the Valravn logo, color not withstanding

[@TheMadman1981]

Am i correct in thinking if you want the festive day out and the Lightopia would be £36?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It would be!

[@noswaluk]

Wish it was included in the ride price. As we live too far away to come back to do it as two separate days out.

[@ArchieGee]

This looks beautiful!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It really is!

[@haylsgo]

Can't wait for Saturday to experience all of this. Is it true there's a lake show as well?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

There is indeed

[@haylsgo]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide cool, how often does it show? Don't want to miss it, but can't hang around long after I've done lightopia

[@Neweratourismandevents]

@themeparkworldwide was there any Steps on part of the route?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

No steps on the route!

[@Neweratourismandevents]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide thank you

[@ianofliverpool7701]

Those were beautiful aled`s :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great display

[@theme.park.lewis0586]

Looks amazing man.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s awesome!

[@harryd5811]

Great work Shaun 👍

[@firthyf1194]

jeez im early loved the video btw

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewrobertson95]

The reason Lightopia is ticketed separately is because it's an external company, and the money goes straight to them. Plus, at £20 it's the same price as their Manchester event.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They’ve done a great job!

[@lakemcculloch6715]

Hi how long does it take to walk around the lightopia at a normal pace with kids? Thanks

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Usually around 90 minutes

[@WJR-Vlog]

How can it be Europe's longest lights trail when we have the illuminations in Blackpool??? Also did they have any spotlights shining into the sky? Trying to clear up a mystery about lights spotted over the M6 but alton is a bit far really...

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I guess they are classing it as a walkthrough! There’s no spotlights shining up into the sky, however there is at Trentham I believe!

[@history_leisure]

Duel is further away from everything else than I thought

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It is!

[@cassiewinsor525]

Do you have to buy a park ticket as well or can you just visit lightopia? Looks awesome!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

You can just visit this!

[@CoasterRob]

This looks absolutely fantastic even though the lightopia models will be removed after the event I think the LED effects should stay permanently

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They’ve done such a great job!

[@PixarFan327]

Would you Go to Disney California Adventure, Knott's Berry Farm, SeaWorld San Diego and Belmont Park in September 2022 Theme Park Worldwide

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Can’t wait to return at some point!

[@timhart7607]

They should have models of past rides of Alton Towers all lit up and moving

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Now that would be even more awesome!

[@u24jh9]

Awesome job Alton Towers :-)

[@u24jh9]

And Lightopia. Great collaboration thanks for sharing!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s absolutely brilliant!

[@noswaluk]

We’re coming the weekend. It’s a bit pricey to pay for this on top of the Christmas rides

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have a great time. It’s expensive all together but definitely worth it!

[@michellehiggs60]

Wow looks amazing. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s epic! We loved it so much!

[@itshg.902]

i went to this in heaton park

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a fantastic event!

[@R1active]

This video makes me smile :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That’s what we like to hear!

[@marianwithrington6490]

What a beautiful event I loved this vlog so much. Thank you both for taking the time to slowly go around and show us everything it is much appreciated. I look forward to your return there in the coming weeks.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you! It was absolutely brilliant!

[@templeofj6503]

Is that all the stuff that was under the tarps in gloomy wood

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It is!

Omg guys love you guys your channel is amazing 💖

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@MrSavageFoxVR]

Did I see duels Candles lights on? In the windows do they leave them on all year to

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I believe so just to add to the effect!

[@MrSavageFoxVR]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide what's the 2nd house used for in the Halloween section? I did look in the windows but it was empty 😕

[@Jason-Clark235]

OOoOoOo looks amazing

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s epic!

Yay new video😊👍🏻

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

New videos everyday!

[@louisthetravelspotter]

brilliant vlog

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@MrJGandAOffical]

Hi guys

[@CustomiZe_]

They should probably add some heat lamps or something over the seating areas, just to try and take the chill of a little bit. Even gas heaters might help 🔥🔥👍😃 Brilliant vlog Shawn and Charlotte 👏 👌

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Now that would be great! Thanks for watching!

[@Mikeyyeaman]

Hey :)

[@Locxx_]

Hi love the videos keep it up

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@michaelbarnett3699]

Awesome display by Alton Towers but full credit to the creators of these magical illuminations and the Electricians that wired it up it must have been a nightmare in the short time they had to do it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Such a huge job!

[@clevm002]

Take a shot every time he says the same thing!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

You’ll soon get a little tipsy!

[@NHSUKFan909]

great video shawn

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@rossnolan2883]

Awesome 😎

[@personalprismatic5972]

Does annoy me being a pass holder and be having to pay to park at these events

[@yugioht42]

The old Osborne Christmas lights were the biggest in Florida but that gone but we have the give kids the world lights now. It’s just a couple of miles of just pure lights. Usually businesses do separate houses all different but the actual give kids the world has their own lights that are put up every year. It’s always nice to see it. Every year it’s a different theme and honestly you don’t know the exact theme until October as that’s when the lights start going up and the end of November it’s done and opens just after thanksgiving. It’s always a good time besides all of the money that is spent there like admission or food goes right back into the charity to keep it running while the lights are donated for the time being. Each business decorates to their own design and actually puts them up and back down when the event is over. The companies use it as a chance to train people on things like Home Depot works on team skills and handicrafts plus all the lights they sell already so it’s a bit of self promotion but it gets their name out there. Ripely’s does one every year with the world’s tallest man scale cutout and other artifacts. You honestly don’t know who will show and how they decorate.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’d loved to of experienced the Osbourne Lights!

[@jusmarch3740]

Shaun, i still have a fibre optic tree. is that really bad?? Also surely you'd have to run through that to get through in 45 mins, and with a family it will take even longer. What a great show xxx

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love that! It’s such a fantastic experience and no rush to go through at all!

[@chrisbaker9767]

well done both for you at Lightopia, an immersive and magical walkthrough at Alton Towers Christmas 2021. In this vlog, we share the full Lightopia experience as we explore the 4 different seasons on display in this impressive light trail. This 2.5km walkthrough takes over an hour to complete and is located in parts of the theme park that are usually closed over winter! keep the good work upon the Chanel both of you in the December vlogs very big thumbs up to you both.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They’ve done a fantastic job of this

[@naylindavies]

We need this at every Merlin park, every theme park, just every park. It’s absolutely stunning.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely

Love watching when it's you n Charlotte,you can tell how much u are in love,are u going away filming before crimbo

Sean & Charlotte please can I use some of your videos cards in my other video Channel I am making videos on history of UKTV My first history if UKTV is about Granada television How do I get to use your video on the American adventure when you visited it after me was a deconstructed and the deconstruction of a nightmare @ Camelot theme park I was in the future if you were going to visit that your Granada Studios and do a video on the Granada Studios after redevelopment Thank you for your help Ph Philly on tv

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Feel free to link across to our videos using cards

[@Steve_1208]

Talking virtually non stop throughout this video absolutely ruins the ambience of what the viewer could have enjoyed, like listening to the background music rather than you talking so much with out taking a breathe, there is no need for so much commentary, people know Alton towers, they dont need a full run down of where you are, and your opinions are yours ., for the love of god please give your gob a rest in future, you really do talk far too much!!!!!

[@dandare2829]

Here here, he loves his own voice and way too much awesome, he thinks he’s a yank!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for your feedback. Many people who watch our videos actually don’t know Alton Towers very well, hence the detailed descriptions!
