Loved this. I'm still such a sucker for a good theme on a ride. It makes me quite sad what happened to the Vampire and Bubbleworks rides at Chessington. So glad I got to go on a bunch of Wardley designed attractions when I was a teen!

This is so interesting, he really brought the nest theming to the park in a very awesome way. It was wonderful when Katanga canyon and Forbidden Valley were new. No other themed area has compared since.

John Wardley Also Worked On Special Effects For Two Awesome James Bond Movie Masterpieces Live And Let Die In 1973 And Of Course The Man With The Golden Gun In 1974 And Which Is My All Time Favourite James Bond Movies Of All Time. My Name Is Bond. James Bond. Thanks Mate. X

God John if only you could see Alton Towers today and how far it has come. Oh ... you CAN!!!! YESSSSS!!!!! (If you ever see this I still want my cross valley coaster, maybe use something quiet instead of wood, coz you have an amazing woodie now, like a Mack that could even weave through trees with launches - Imagine ICON at alton towers but with spinning cars maybe and through the valley and connect forbidden valley to dark forest coaster-wise, itd feel like the big one does in terms of length - the theme is the journey)

"a family of 4 will spend £40 to £50 on a day at chessington - that includes the fuel" Fast forward a few decades - £50 entry per person, fuel £1.80 a litre and nearly all of John Wardleys magic gone 😩😩

And now we've lost The Haunted House... is Towers even worth visiting outside of Hex and the Secret weapons anymore?
