No that’s not Thirteen in the thumbnail, that’s one of the coasters (Flight of the Hippogriff) I reference replacing the ride that’s closed. I can see the similarity from a distance but I thought the beige train and less steep drop would be enough to show it wasn’t 13. Didn’t even come to mind when editing it. I would never intentionally and unironically clickbait my videos, so my apologies if it came off that way ❤️

RIP to The Alton Towers Dungeon, an attraction that nobody gave a crap about 🫡

Are we forgetting about the MASSIVE theatre they have that is currently sat unused that's right next to the area as well?

The dungeons was so beloved💀💀💀💀

What i think could happen is that they keep the current ride system in place and retheme it to some sort of indoor family boat ride similar to Charlie and the chocolate factory (but obviously a different theme), as since the flume was removed in 2015, Alton Towers don't have a lot of water rides so removing another wouldn't be a good idea in my opinion.

They are going to make a 1000 ft coaster which looks like a tree but goes 10 mph because gravity is not working.

Given Alton recent track record of reviving former ideas for rides such as Curse a retake on Haunted House, Nemesis Reborn a retake on Nemesis, and Nemesis Sub Terra and Hex altered enhanced versions. I would like to see a modern take on Toyland Tours for the simple fact that no other ride captures what Alton Towers is about then Toyland Tours the Magic, Mystery, Quirkiness, Over the Top. The ride wants to invite you in from the second you walk into Towers Street the og Towers Street theme from 1993-2008 it plays the Toyland Tours Soundtrack and even as you get close the music continues throughout the are and the ride I think everyone would be happy if they brought that Legendary Ride back in some form

I hope that The Alton Towers Dungeon gets replaced Rita 2, just to annoy Dan /jk

A trackless dark ride or indoor rollercoaster (saying that horizon may not be a coaster) are good shouts! Hopefully a dark ride themed to the dark forest that helps with the LOOOOORE of the area. I think that could be epic depending on how they do it

I think after the Scarefest attraction I hope Alton Towers will re theme it to theme it for what Horizon is and to create a new area at the back of the park ❤

Yeaaaaaaahhhhh baby another vid from the vlog king🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

oh darn. Keep up the good work dan!

3:22 Surely the IP can't end because they're both owned by Merlin

0:32 if you wont add a wacky worm, how about a flying fish clone??

Another amazing video Dan !!, but it’s sad to see the dungeons go . It wasn’t a bad attraction at the resort but it was still enjoyable

They've not actually it's closing forever, just for the rest of the season to prepare for Scarefest, so it could always re-open next year. That being said, FINGERS CROSSED, EH?!?!?!

Finally I have been waiting for the mention of the indoor coaster at the edge of the park

towers can't miss the opportunity to extend Rita with a 2nd launch followed by the exact same layout surely

Love you Dan

The reason why they closed 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' was due to lisencing I do believe, otherwise they probably would have kept it open, which is why I think it took Alton Towers years to think of a new attraction to replace that empty space as they didn't think about loosing the lisencing. I never visited the Dungeon as it's not my type of attraction, plus with it being an up-charge too, but whatever they will do to it will not replace the dungeons in terms of popularity and income for the park.

Going Alton Towers again in September! Love to see the Oktoberfest celebrations 🎉 Also this is a very bizarre suggestion but maybe the dungeons could be another ride/ queue line for horizon???

A water ride could be nice and they don’t have many. Another option would be to use it and walliams world to make a walkthrough outdoors attraction similar to the one at legoland.

I really hope it becomes a bench area, that'd be so exciting

cant wait to see what new ride they put in its place in 4 years

I believe they will make a Intamin super flume like Valhalla but themed like project horizon. I really enjoy your videos! Also your my number 1 KZfaqr

I had a run-through today for the first time. It's such an amazing experience and a shame it's closing!

I think it could be a trackless but the exit leads you into the horizon area Luv ur vids btw ❤

went there on sunday was amazing so happy to go

I think they will build a zamperla volare with Rita’s layout themed to Wallace and Gromit

I remember going on the Alton Towers Dungeon ride with my brother many years ago. While on the torture boat ride, my brother actually freaked out by the silhouette video of a man being sawn in half.

I just noticed the Red Bull RB19 in the corner👀

I feel like they are going to make this Darkest Depths: the remix

I think that a new area themed to a fairytale land which could include a log flume and a children’s rollercoaster or wing coaster maybe like troublesome truckers or mandrill Mayhem

Did the boat trough layout thing used to be longer? It certainly seemed it, in the “around the world in 80 days” era. Maybe that’s my memory playing tricks, though. That was a lovely ride. I want that back, please. Have a word with Mrs Alton Towers.

Great video Dan, it would be nice if we saw each other again at a park sometime soon

I reckon it will be replaced with a brand new big scare maze for 2025 as the building is pretty big, and towers would want some sort of world's first in that maze. I'm going to thorpe park for the first time this saturday dan! would be great to meet you there

I love the idea of a new coaster or dark ride going in that area and even the idea of combining the building, project Horizon and Britains got Talent man area into one, but lets be real here, there going to bring back the retrosquad.

Hi Dan I have no idea whatsoever with what towers are gonna do with the dungeons 😂😂 I just wanna be in a vid 😂❤❤❤ love the vids keep it up ❤💪

A museum of past history and attractions would be epic ( a corner of it dedicated to the retrosquad of course)

I think that it will somehow be merged ( or the space wil be used ) for project horizon, as it is a while indoor caster, and towers would want to make it really good, they would need enough space. Also it would be weird for a coaster to be squeezed into the small gap between dungeons and Williams.

The title scared me but then I read the description.. I thought it would be Th13teen or sum and then I wouldn't get to trick my friends on Thursday for my Towers school trip..

I was there today, so it’s really funny that I could have either done something right as it was closing or just missed it.

I think they will either keep the boat ride and re theme it to the theme of project horizon or make some what extension to the world of David Walliams. If they where to create an extension to the world of David Walliams it will either be another indoor dark ride such as the old Charlie and the chocolate factory with the excising boat ride in place. I would like to see the warehouse knocked down and install a family thrill coaster like thirteen but a bit more thrilling coaster like mandrill at chessington.

I went on Toyland Tours when it was in its final death gurgles. It was the most unintentionally terrifying experience of my life. FNAF wasn't a thing back then, but holy shit it doesn't even compare! The janky, creaky, broken animatronics with half of their fur & faces missing, & their warped haggered voices that were trying to sing (I think) while you were pulled around a water track in a wet boat that absolutely reeked of mould & chlorine. The following year it turned into Charlie & The Chocolate Factory so the nightmare was finally over, but the experience is forever burned into my memory

I went to alton towers on the 9th June and it hasn't been running fine since then, on the day I went the previous Saturday had been so busy that the wheels on the train, which keep it on the track, had came off of train 1. That's why it has only had train 2 running, but that is now broken.

Hopefully something big for this scarefest!

Respect for Dan remembering the dungeon btw 🫡

I’m glad it’s closing , means it’s a space for a new ride that won’t cost money to go in (hopefully)

It’s sad because although it’s changed its face a lot the actual boat ride system is probably one of the oldest rides in the park, but that area defo needs some revitalising and with Horizon alongside it’ll be a must go to area

That thumbnail 💀 Th13teen with the flight of the hippogryff’s trains did not close

They should try and rebuild water world in that space and put in the flume and proffeser burps bubble works as well as a water flat ride like baral bayle out

That M&D’s wacky worm reference tho 😂

They need to make more rides. More water ones in particular.

I would love to see an Alton towers museum theme, with all the lost rollercoasters and rides making an appearance, I think that would be awesome

To be honest I never went to this attraction 😂. But they might (after the scare fest ) add a entire new area like dark forest , X sector , and forbiden valley after potentially knocking the building down.keep up the good work BTW👍.

This is G Force George here, there’s planning permission in place for solar panels on the roof so the building is likely to stay, however, I could see the ride system being used and The World Of David Walliams being rethemed to the Alton Characters.

Hey Dan love your videos I think we could see a Mac multi launch coaster in that area themed to gangster Granny 😂 only joking

I would love to see a re-do of Toyland Tours in that area. With a re theme of Williams World to go with it. I know Alton has brought back Nemesis and the Haunted House (sort of), so what could stop them from bringing back Toyland Tours? It has the ride system and where Towers are going theming wise, it could be a great investment. It would cost less than other options too!

I think that they'll either retheme it to whatever Horizon is going to be, but they'll keep it as a dark ride, as I think that the theming will relate to being in a dark ride (something like the Haunted Mansion hopefully, but Curse already covers that) or remove the water ride part of it after Scarefest and do what X did and be a completely indoor rollercoaster which I hope happens (rip X) I really hope the theming of Horizon and whatever Dungeons will be won't be 'family friendly' and be like Smiler, Wickerman and Nemesis lore, bc I think Alton is known for having amazing spooky theming and backstories so I hope it's equally as dark and horror-oriented as the others as I think a family theming area would stick out like a sore thumb :P

How do you buy the hoodies I’ve been looking for ages and I cant find them

I think it might become another walk-through attraction themed around dark forest by the way I'm a fan😊

I think if project horizon does become a water coaster, then it will become some sort of dark ride element because obviously the project horizon building isn't that big. Love your vids and hope you reach 100k subs.

Ive been alton towers a fair few times and never even knew about this building 😂

It would be cool if the added a dark drop tower if it was possible but I think the dungeons will become a family ride or a dark rollacoster something like saw at Thope Park would be really cool

Mind you the last time they did a scarefest it was to *teased a new SW the park* For example: the welcoming for wicker man and that one for the smiler (i forgot what it was called) and with that *project horizon* in the works (from my pov) it kinda puts 2 and 2 together and hence why they decided to remove the dungeon's??

When I went to Alton towers last month I didn’t even know what the Alton towers dungeons is 😅

i think they will either knock the building down and extend rita, extend gangsta granny (unlikely) or will use the building for project horison. (you make goatd vids btw)

They should build a clone of Octonauts there, because we just can't get enough of it! 😃

I think that they’ll scrap the entire building demolish it and use that area to make sw9 have an outdoor section so it will be a multi launch where at one moment your inside a giant building and the next your in a forceful launch I’d say a Vekoma or Mack coaster would fit towers in this area

How could the IP run out? They’re both owned by Merlin

I think they'll keep the boat thing and make a Darkest Depths sequel. Like what they did with Tiny's Revenge for Scarefest '23. After that they'll probably end up tearing down Walliam's World and hopefully build a new area incorporating the boat ride. Maybe they'll even tear down the building and have the boats outdoors? You never know

I would love them to use that Dungeons building ride like Symbolica at Efteling.

I have a feeling that they will keep retheming the dungeons or maybe even theme it to gangsta granny. Also I reckon that they could possibly make another section to the park out of project horizon weather that includes rides underground or them extending that half of land I don’t know but I would love for them to do that. Whereas for scarefest I think they’ll just make it a haunted house like thing similar to the curse just for now.

Bring Back Toyland Tours! 1. I think Alton Towers does best when using their own ideas and not working in conjunction with an outside IP. 2. It was big in the 90’s so the nostalgia factor will be high as any kid who had fond memories of it during its time, likely have children of their own at the right age. So popularity for it will be much higher than when it left. Ideally I’d love to see AT allow the deals with CBeebies and David Williams expire and revert to their own IP for children’s areas. Old MacDonalds farm was amazing as a kid.

straight on it bossman

I reckon it could be something to do with the dark forest as that Is right next door.

Maybe a family coaster inside the old dungeons potentially themed to David Walliams

They could do so many things with this especially how big the area is. Hopefully they do something good.

I saw a vid where bits of charlie are still behind theming in the dungeon

I think the could turn it into a indoor log floom type thing as Alton towers only water ride is the rapids

They need to put in a Wing Coaster in that area

towers always make scare mazes for new rides so could it be a scare maze for the indoor coaster or for whatever there gonna build where the dungeons are?

We’ve seen with Wickerman and Smiler that Alton Towers like to do scare mazes to promote new roller coasters so could we be seeing a Project Horizon themed Scare Maze????

I have a feeling that maybe after that building is a scare attraction they could expand the building for project Horizon and make the building bigger by extending it into that building. Or they will just put another attraction there lol.

I think they'll keep the building and use it for some kind of indoor attraction, because I think they want to start opening through the winter and so more indoor attractions would allow that (in a year or two).

I think it will become a ride themed to a secret tomb with a ancient mummy

Visited for the first time in 30 years recently … was surprised how unloved parts of the park looked esp around the dungeons etc … didn’t see anyone going in through out the day 😮… all I could see was doom and sons and around the world attractions we would go on again and again ❤❤❤ in those days we hadn’t seen anything like them before esp the size and quality ….. also where they used to record hold tight tv show … looked really tatty we rode gangsta grannie despite it looking closed we walked straight on the kids loved it ! At the end of the day I asked them what their favourite part of the day was …… all said gangsta grannie 😊 the whole area outside looked really un loved 😢that whole section could be fabulous again

Something I would like to see is a brand new log flume ride if could be outside so demolish the building or could be an inside log flume ride so Alton can keep the building up

I want a wacky worm with loops and stuff that would be funny 😂

To be honest I think it will stay as a scare attraction until horizon comes along they will replace it with a plaza and maybe a flat ride they need more of them, btw we didn’t forget about you eating your shoe dan!

So sad, loved the dungeons BUT I think that space could be used for something amazing, like maybe an entire area dedicated to some more flat rides.

Digital Dan history lessons needs its own intro, maybe with some Nintendo Wii music in the background - the dungeons could be replaced with a zamperla volare: still with the dungeons IP and theme it to some sort of ancient torture device used in the dungeons (fitting theme)

I think the Alton towers dungeon could be a good space for an indoor roller coaster like Vogel rok if they expanded it as merlin has the budget to make it extremely well themed and it would drag more guests to AT

I think the dungeons might be replaced with a multi launch coaster sort of like icon in black pool 🙂

I think they should build a family motorcycle coaster like hagrids or tron and Disney as there would be a good amount space to in that area

Where’s energylandia Dan… I need it Dan… (Joking love your content) Still need energylandia tho

I think we'll be getting a new dark ride. Potentially the same boat ride with a retheme, potentially a new rid system all together. David Walliams will close, and that area will be rethemed to whatever horizon's story turns out to be, with Gangsta Granny's ride system being left in, just getting a new narrative. Whatever ride replaces the dungeons will remain separate to this theme, maintaining a more horror inspired aesthetic, though potentially slightly toned down, in contrast to the much more family friendly horizon area.

Also maybe another water ride because then we could put Alton towers and water rides in the same sentence!

Hugo animatronic from villa volta, but on a serious note, a ride like droomvluct would be so good

I think they should keep the dungeons building and turn it into a project horizon themed dark ride, as they have a few scare attractions.
