Your old videos made me a little emotional, 1994 was the year I fell in love with Alton Towers and rollercoasters, I was 11 when I first visited. Hearing that music blast out on Towers street, in your 1994 clip, hit especially hard. Thank you so so so much for including them, nostalgia overload. Living so close, and visiting so often, it's easy to take Alton Towers for granted, and pick out all of the tiny faults. But watching first time visitors, have reactions like yours, reminds me that we're so lucky. Great video.

Ahhh love to hear this! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I know the video quality isn’t the best (it was 1994 so makes sense 😂) but I’m glad we found it and were able to include it as well! Home park syndrome gets all of us, but you’re lucky to have Alton Towers as a home park 💕

@@RideorDineGenuinely surprised it still played at all, none of my old camcorder tapes work. Out of interest was it digitised a long time ago or only recently? If it was recently did you have to do anything special to recover it, or did it just genuinely store that well?

The same I was 15 at the year Nemesis opened and its my home park along with Drayton Manor and Nemesis unlocked ny coaster love, my kids are just getting to the height when they can do the towers, ive yet to ride wickerman, I was last at towers shortly after smiler but I have memories of that place back to the 80s and many rides that have gone. Also the tower is a Manor house not really a castle that was ever used for military purposes but yes its the only park with a genuine period building as its centre piece. Just got back from an amazing disneyland paris trip too and def have runaway mine train fans thanks to big thunder Mountain which I think is the best version of that ride and that ride concept.

@@coasterfest we digitized all of our home videos and old camcorder footage about 5 years ago. It held up fairly well. The older stuff looked like this Alton towers footage. Some other stuff from the late 90s/early 2000s looked much better.

Wow its so great to see what first time visitors think of Alton Towers, as Coasterfest has said we take for granted so much stuff. Great video you've made here and another subscriber here too.

Awesome video. Towers is my home park and it's great so see your first impressions of it. The footage from '94 really took me back to a very important year In the parks history. Curse has been such a fantastic addition to the park although I am biased it is absolutely my favourite dark ride.

I have just come across your channel and it's some great content. I go to Alton towers 2 or 3 times a year and I have never seen it that quiet. When did you visit?

Such a shame you guys didn’t get to do Hex, it’s such a great dark ride

I know :( but luckily we’ve done a similar style ride before so that cushioned the blow. Really curious to see what Alton Towers does with that space!
