Alton Towers is one of the UK's most popular theme parks and dates back many years as both a stately home and an amusement park. The park opened in 1980, owned by businessman John Broome. It was then bought by the Tussauds Group in 1990, and then Merlin Entertainments in 2007 who still own the park to this day. This 45 minute video takes you through the history of the park's rides, attractions, shows and incidents that have occurred over the last 37 years.

But will miss Ripsaw, never forget the endless rides on that as it was right next to Nemesis. Do any UK parks have one of these type of rides left I wonder? Would like to bring my son on one of those to share with him too.

I had my first trip to Alton towers in October on the opening day of scarefest this year as a day out with my college. The first ride I went on was the battle gallions and there was just one boat with people on (me, friends, a woman and her two young children) because it was early. A man shot water at us from the path and I got soaked to the bone. At the end of the day me and my friends were sitting on a wall in Towers Street when all the other people were leaving, waiting for the other people in the college group to regroup and we saw a little boy steal a pumpkin. He ran up to catch up with his mum yelling “mummy mummy! I got a pumpkin!!!” And he refused to put it back so his mother had to. Another part of the parks history: attempted pumpkin theft October 12 2019

Great memories. I remember going in 1983. Me and my sister went with our beloved Nan on one of her work outings. We were blown away by the corkscrew!!. We thought only America had things like that!!!. I used to go back with friends after that for many more years. The corkscrew remained my favourite coaster. Even the bad press it started to get later in its life didn’t spoil the memories for me. I’m now close to my 50th birthday and I think if I went on a coaster now I’d be off work with my back for weeks😂😂

Were the gondolas for the Skyride replaced in 2009 because of the fire at the CCL station? I'm not sure if it was but both events occurred in 2009...

I know they both happened at the same time, but I would imagine that the gondolas would have been ordered before the fire took place but might have been delayed by the fire. If they were ordered after, it would probably wouldn't have been ready for the start of the 2010 season as they were, and would probably have been introduced a few months in

What was the background song when you were talking about the corkscrew being closed and what background song was it when you were talking about the sky ride incident.

I really hope SW8 Sparks Alton Towers back up, it's been closing so many rides and needs that one big hit to push the rides back up, Hopefully SW8 Will help with that slight problem, because until this year Alton Towers was my Favourite theme park, but that belongs to Thorpe Park for now. One day I will return to this comment and smile
