One thing we are good at!

@@ExpeditionThemePark yeah, my home park is Phantasialand. They do decent marketing, but nothing quite like this. Having actors running around in the park, doing these found footage teasers…

Very manipulative as well when considering the lackluster attract *coughsghoasttraincoughcough

TTTMusic i just went to phantasialand a few days ago and i think that even though the promotion for british parks is better, the rides are a lot better at phantasialand

TTTMusic *DONT LOOK DOWN MILES*

Haha so true

It’s true

They are making black mirror labyrinth and it’s debut is in 2021

Pika San he is talking about coasters not rides in general

Kinda wish that they would put in a coaster in Thorpe park rather than a new one in Alton towers I mean they have a huge space they can put it in.

FuchsiaMuffin well yeah it gets the people and especially kids coming in

as a british person, can confirm that the theming is just as jolly as everyone who lives here

Apocalypse the ride (magic mountain) am I a joke to you?

tontacore thank you for being true to our British feelings and being honest

Don't forget Government Experiments and Human Sacrifice

Sean M I went on it today and it’s the best ride there and I was actually smiling the entire time!

im_a_snacc I was fucking SCREAMING the entire time but it was still an AMAZING ride! I love the drop and the loops, Scariest bit is literally right before the drop

If you ever come to the UK I highly recommend going to Thorpe Park

I definitely recommend the swarm its currenly my favourite B&M coaster ive ever been on

Agreeeed on that

UK. yes. World. Not by a long shot.

Smilers theme is pretti mad but the Swarm coaster looks badass

favourite ride at the park!!

After Smiler

The british coasters universe.Humans are toys for them

Stealth, Colossus and Hyperia are just rollercoasters in the park, with their theming being about a rollercoaster. The fish that used to be in the Amity Beach grow polluted and start flying, creating Flying Fish. In 1994 a volcano at the park erupts when the Nemesis Monster wakes up Alton Towers, which mean those 2 parks are in the same universe. They manage to clear it up, but this causes dangers in the future to be attracted to the park. Meanwhile in 2009, Jigsaw and the Saw movies are in the Thorpe Park universe. Jigsaw connects with Thorpe Park to add a ride there, but Jigsaw puts on “the ding pieces” that are actually death traps. He then kidnaps someone to see if they could withstand the thought of it, and they could so he opened the ride. After finding out, they shut the ride because it’s illegal. In 2012, the undead come from the graveyard closest to Thorpe Park. They awoke from the Nemesis signals causing vibrations in the ground that took 18 years to reach there. The zombies saw the theme park and its lights so they went there. Merlin created a safe zone for everyone visiting the park and residents nearby. The zombies break in though. The army exterminates the zombies and gains a direct signal to Thorpe Park in case anything else happens. At some point in 2014, some Angry Birds visit Thorpe Park and demand a place to stay, creating Angry Birds Land. But the pigs enter the park too, meaning they have to share the area. But that technically means Angry Birds are living creatures in this universe, which technically means that the Angry Birds universe and Thorpe Park Universe are connected. Or maybe some guys decide to make an Angry Birds themed area. But bombs are stored in the area, and they go off under a drop tower! Probably. In 2018, aliens from space see the volcano erupt. Things happening on Earth take longer to be seen from space, so now that the aliens see the volcano, they decide to go to Thorpe Park. In the summer, they reach there and cause chaos across the country. But not Staffordshire or across from there. The army goes to war with the aliens, causing a very intense battle. Eventually, the humans win, but the country is destroyed. Then in 2023, Thorpe opens a monorail underground, but it is cursed and haunted. As passengers ride, they find that it is actually not what it seems… Thorpe eventually closes the monorail. In 2024, a town called Big Easy Boulevard needs more space, and since the Angry Birds and pigs left Thorpe Park a few weeks prior, Thorpe lets Big Easy Boulevard use the empty town in the theme park. All the guests can access the town and cinema there for free, and they can use the spare cars for test drives. Now, for the Alton Towers universe…

So true it looks tiny in the videos, that's what i always thought too...

When i first went on it i was like ‘woah this is a LOT higher than it looks from the ground!’

My sister wanted to go on it but once she saw it in person got too scared. It took some persuading to get her on haha. She loved it, but didn’t expect for it to be as tall as it was. It’s true that the pictures and videos don’t truly show it’s height.

This was my first “upside-down” coaster and I loved it!

Who here agrees that the turn before the dive is the best on the right side? You get to go the highest and it feels so nice

That is a nice birthday treat

@@ExpeditionThemePark Thanks, it was although on stealth the heavy rain felt like rocks. Love ur documentaries and they never cease to entertain. Keep up the outstanding work!

Not sure if Disney level but they try!

Ok maybe like Disney’s A- material. Like not their best stuff but not their B material

So true haha

They spend so much trying to get something unique or "worlds first" that most of the budget gets blown on how expensive these more prototype ride styles are. It means they end up with worlds first ride sure, but the rides end up being short and uninteresting outside of their respective gimmick and are usually quickly outdone by much bigger better versions of the same coaster type at other parks around the world.

Id agree with Thorpe Park but I've never felt disappointed by anything at Alton Towers.

@@Pear_chan thirteen was pretty naff. Also having the world's first flying coaster with Air was really cool but now it's a bit tame compared with most other flying models. Too busy chasing world's first elements rather than spending money on great attractions these days

@@bswift1991 Air is a great attraction still, it's just eventually people will outdo the original model. It doesn't make Air any less great. And 13 is great. It does exactly what its meant to; take ghost trains to a new level. I like that Alton Towers aren't obsessed with just making the biggest and fastest version of something that already exists, the ingenuity is what makes their rides.

It always feels like this would have fit so much better in Alton Towers especially with their ‘it’s a conspiracy maaaaaaaan’ marketing campaign like with Oblivion and Smiler. But I know they’re limited so much with building regulations and the like it probably wouldn’t have worked to the same degree or at least not with out a great deal of digging and reworking

@@criticalfayle7509 Yeah then the ride experience had to be very very different, you can't just dig this into the ground. It wouldve been great to have a wingcoaster going through tons of trenches and tunnels, though, would give even more headchoppers, feetchoppers, and other near misses then the Swarm does.

I have to say I agree with this quite a bit. I visited Thorpe Park for the first time the other week and, although I really enjoyed the ride, it did definitely feel that it was just plonked there. When we left we tried going one direction and was just with a fence and a no entry sign, which felt awfully abrupt. It's like there needed to be more rollercoasters or rides with the same theme to help knit it all together

Agreed - I wish the theming in the queue was more clear - it would hype up riders more. I rode it this year with no understanding of the story - I enjoyed it but didn't understand it AT ALL.

I only found speculation and no real answer

They probably just wanted to streamline the process as the amount of new customers was not worth the effort of having a clunky queueing system and the more complex maintenance involved.

Expedition Theme Park it was to remove the common problem of motion sickness

This ride was crap and riding the reverse seats were the only time i actually enjoyed this ride, wish they still did that

I would live for it to still be there because the first time I went to Thorpe park was 2 or 3 years ago

Right!

and there allways really dark in the uk

US: Happy Go Lucky UK: Horrifying

The Swarm is Awsome no lie when I went on it, I had my Mind Blown you should definitely go on it. I recommend it 100%

ohbogey it’s fucking amazing!! Best thing I’ve ever gone on!

It is amazing! I screamed all the way through it but in the photo I looked like I actually shat myself. It’s such a good ride and so scary!!

SAME OMG!!🤠

What about the glory that is the Flying Fish?

@@lbc2013 that has sentimental value, but it's not on it's original site, that's where Stealth is now

Right or left side!

Expedition Theme Park Right

Heathrow airport is right next to Thorpe park

Picflux I went in the back row. Super smooth, same as Nemesis, the back row is super smooth.

I think your just too old and cynical

I totally get what you mean. It's like they are combining an advertisement with the ride story.

I agree LOL

But, swarm is completely isolated from the rest of the park ( except before the first drop) literally on its own island surrounded by a thick tree line

and Neil getting stung by wasps.

Hi Kristi thank you so much!

You should love all my videos! Kidding thanks
