Here's my tshirt design I made for my uni project! 🎢🌟

Hex with the lights on really makes you appreciate how immersive the experience is when it’s in show conditions! This Vekoma Mad House opened at Alton Towers 26 years ago and is full of awesome details 🌳⛓️

The current Earl of Shrewsbury was one of 92 hereditary Lords.

From May 2026, there will no longer be a birth right to sit in the House of Lords.

Here are some pictures of earl of Shrewsbury from the 21st century and 15th century. John Talbot became a lord circa 1442 #history

Let's look back this #ThrowbackThursday at Enterprise!

Opening in 1984 in what's now Dark Forest, this classic Huss ride was relocated to X Sector in 1998.

Closing at the end of 2021, the area & queueline is set to be reused for an indoor attraction.

Did you ride Enterprise?

[AltonBuzz 🎢 @AltonBuzz]

What are your thoughts on the indoor walk through proposal for X Sector at Alton Towers?

[Amy 🏳️‍🌈🎢🎮 @MissSm1l3r]

It'd be rude of me not to when the resources are right there in front of me. Visualisation of the new building in situ 🙂

[Adz @AdzKerridge]

This is very much welcome.

Though it’s funny that the park opens beyond 4/5pm so rarely that it’s considered an event.

[TowersStreet @TowersStreet]

It’s time to Choo Choo, as the Runaway Mine Train has opened up a day earlier than scheduled! 🚂

Thanks to TowersStreet member Will for the photo.

Alton Towers have submitted a planning application for a “proposed walk through attraction building” 👇

With Toxicator's fountains yet to operate this season, the two water tanks have now been hidden with temporary covers featuring the ride's logo.

@billyjxcb Arrh missed it, happy birthday anyway 🎈

[TowersStreet @TowersStreet]

Today we head back to closed season 2015/16 and the removal of Ripsaw. The ride was one of 5 removed that closed season following cuts at @altontowers

“Can you cut it?” Turns out yes they could. #throwbackthursday

[AltonBuzz 🎢 @AltonBuzz]

Happy 21st this year! Rita! 🔥

[AltonBuzz 🎢 @AltonBuzz]

Rita opened on 1st April 2005, but she ain't foolin' around she's 17 and has a licence to drive! 🎫

Happy 17th Birthday to the original Race Control's Rita Queen of Speed!! 🏁🔥

[AltonBuzz 🎢 @AltonBuzz]

@TheCOMPOUND_Guy I've got nostalgia for Ripsaw. It's true the green is fresh and good for seperate identity

[AltonBuzz 🎢 @AltonBuzz]

Tbh, I think your colour scheme would of worked better! 😉🩸

[DigitalDan @DigitalDan7]

Construction on Alton Towers new flat ride started today… is another ride going to come back with a vengeance? 😂
