Loved this mate! That was some good going, a decent amount of rides and a half marathon following the two days you had prior to this. Hats off to you mate 👏
Fair play for doing the children's rides! I very much doubt I would have the confidence to do them on my own! I also do not care about Halloween season!
The night garden ride is possibly as poor as Dora… I mean it’s been years since I went on either but at the time that was certainly the case! The park is huge to do something like this in! My wheelchair died at mine train just going round semi tactically and my poor husband had to push my electric chair manually to the gates because of how much distance I’d travelled that day! You did great! I really like these videos 😊
You absolute mad lad 😂 Joe wasn't there so you thought you would make up for the Insanity I see 😂 13 miles wow 👏 Entertaining for us at home at least 😊
Fantastic video, happy to see more like these but for your comfort without the rain. Inside your car must have been like a steam room as you dried off as you drove up the road 😊
Hi new recent subscriber, love your videos great content and varied rides. Curious, do you have coaster dad here your on TH-cam printed on the back of your hoodie? Many seem to look then wave, smile or turn 😂
Ha ha. Yeah I have a giant QR code with “follow me” on the back 😂 but I suspect a lot of it comes from seeing a weird man talking to himself with a camera in his face 😉
27,000 steps?! Just imagine if you had completed the whole set! Shame that pesky ChatGPT left most of the best rides towards the end. It’s like it knew you wouldn’t get to them so tried to humiliate you early on! Terrific.
To be fair I didn’t ask it for an efficient route. I merely asked it to randomise them. But yeah walking past a number of good rides with tiny queues sucked 🙈
i was guessing around 15,000 steps normally so about double that for all the back/forth you did - 20 rides @ a/t without any form of fast pass, thats commendable!!, certainly one to make a note of if your not bothered by a bit of rain. well done.
So I thought the same about all the kids. But then I heard some say “I’ll tell the teacher” and a tonne of buses at the entrance so I assume a lot of trips 🤷♂️
@@coaster_dad yeah we had school trips on thursday but i did speak to a few people who didn't want to go at weekends with the kids so took them out for the day--Just wish i went to some of these schools at our school you only went in your last year there
I have given you a like purely for staying till the end in that weather! As someone who works outside 90% of the time I feel your pain!! Especially as I work the west coast os Scotland where most rain comes in from lol bring on the winter and keep the good content coming pal 👍
Respect for doing a theme park in the rain but "Yer aff yer heid". 🤣Having those heated seats for the journey back up to Auld Reekie must have been luxury. Did they not cause the inside of your car to steam up when drying off?
@16:33 - the staff member thought you were nuts?, its just another name to add to that list i'm afriad. but don't panic as thats what makes watching your exploits so much fun!
Question for you. From a recent observation from a Florida trip. Many of the park rides that were suitable for my 2 year old boy take the longest to get on. This is because they are usually very small coaster type rides. Anyway, the queues were often filled with adults with no kids. Strange I know. Do you think there should be preferential riding on rides aimed at kids to allow them to get on faster.
Good question. I always find it strange on the kids rides, if you visit parks like Legoland where it’s mostly aimed at young kids, the queues move super slow. And I do wonder if that is just because adults tend to be in a hurry and kids are more laid back 🤷♂️
@@coaster_dad that doesn’t explain when the queues are filled with adults with no kids. There should be a kids and parents queue and then an adults only queue. With the adults only queue being longer/slower. There are plenty of rides that the adults can go on. Agree?
I'm going to be very petty here, and question whether you used Chat GPT to plan your day at Alton Towers or just provide a random list of the rides.... Obviously another great video and fair play to fully committing and including he kiddies rides as well.
Tricky one. I’d love a park up here, but that was planned to be something different and clearly has had a load of push back. I don’t think Loch Lomond is a good place to put something like that.
25,000 steps is my guess. At least you didn't have to queue. I'm not one that shies from physical activities, but I hate all the walking (and standing in queues on a busy day) that you have to do in Towers. I felt like I've done a 10h shift in a factory last time I was there. Makes me think twice if I want to return. They need the Sky Ride back ASAP. Don't sacrifice yourself too much for TH-cam.
@@coaster_dad as a said the things u do for content 😅 . Try and go to Bayern park for the launched coaster it’s ment to be sooooo intense ad love to see ur reaction on it mate anyways hope the channel explodes u deserve it yer a good guy plus yer Scottish 🏴 😂
Ha ha, to be fair I didn’t ask it to optimise my day, I just asked it to randomise purely for entertainment value. But as you said it’s not quite there yet.
@coaster_dad it would be interesting if you could run that list and see what it says and if you have a mildly linked video in the future show what it says? Some ai videos on TH-cam are really funny though like bugmuzak and rock hamsters.
Postman Pat is certainly.. an interesting way to start the day 😂
😉 yup
@@coaster_dadhi
Ty for the heart
Yep... officially Crazy Coaster Dad now! 😁😁😁 At least you got your steps in! 😉👍
I sure did 😂
You on bouncy boot on burp was hilarious! Shame about the weather and oblivion down etc
Ha ha. Thank you. My misses was in stitches when she watched it too 😂
That ride is exactly the same as the Peter Rabbit one but with added sound effects!
What a genius idea for a video 🤣 thanks coaster dad
Ha ha. Hope you enjoy 😀
Single rider queues are a great idea that all parks should incorporate
100% agree
18:53 look at that peak British specimen
There’s always one 😉
Loved this mate! That was some good going, a decent amount of rides and a half marathon following the two days you had prior to this. Hats off to you mate 👏
Thanks Ben, I was bloody exhausted! 😴😴
This is another awesome video. Hope you enjoyed the day at Alton Towers
I had a lot of fun, even if it was wet and exhausting 😂
Fair play for doing the children's rides! I very much doubt I would have the confidence to do them on my own! I also do not care about Halloween season!
Ha ha. I have no shame 😂
Single rider is such a blessing. Hope they add it to galactica someday
Yeah I do hope we see more of it!
The night garden ride is possibly as poor as Dora… I mean it’s been years since I went on either but at the time that was certainly the case!

Ha ha. Yeah I’m definitely mad 😉
It makes sense that you and tpi are mates. You should do a dungeon together.
Interesting idea :)
Fantastic video, happy to see more like these but for your comfort without the rain.
Inside your car must have been like a steam room as you dried off as you drove up the road 😊
I thought I was dry until I stopped for food and looked like I’d peed myself 😂😂
i love watching your vlogs so much! they make me sooo excited for my next visit
Thank you 😀

Great video again was there on Thursday had a good day--like in your video theres alot of schools missing kids
So I thought the same about all the kids. But then I heard some say “I’ll tell the teacher” and a tonne of buses at the entrance so I assume a lot of trips 🤷♂️
@@coaster_dad yeah we had school trips on thursday but i did speak to a few people who didn't want to go at weekends with the kids so took them out for the day--Just wish i went to some of these schools at our school you only went in your last year there
I can’t wait to watch this later
Hope you enjoy 😁

Ha ha. That’s exactly it. That’s a normal day in Scotland 😉
Love it Chris. 😂😂😂
Thank you 😂
Good morning ☕️ just gonna start watching..and yes, you know how large AT is, why are you putting yourself through this?😂
Because I’m crazy 😂 it was a lot of fun, but bloody exhausting! 😮💨
Wow. You're gonna be walking so much!
I certainly did 😂😮💨

@@coaster_dad Ha ha ha. The embarrassing and dreaded wet crotch look. 🤣
I love Alton towers 😊
It is a great park. I just wish it had less walking 😂
Such a legend 😂
Why thank you 😂

I can’t be the only one to love galactica
Don’t get me wrong I do like it. But its showing its age and I’ve been on much better variants of the ride 😔
@@coaster_dad when they had the goggles
@@Norwich_News ah I never got to experience that and I know many people weren’t a fan but I’d have loved to try it nonetheless!
Oblivion having a single rider queue is news to me .. when did it get added?
Unknown. But I’ve used it this year
Very brave starting the day in Cbeebies land
Brave? Or stupid? 😂
18:54 😟
How did all the coasters have walk on rides or 5 minute waits but spin ball whizzer was 40 minutes??
I can only assume it’s just because Spinball doesn’t have the best throughput compared to the others 🤷♂️ I’m just glad they added single rider!
I was disappointed with Alton Towers recently.....seems to be a lot of walking with nothing much in between!!
There is a lot of walking. But you can be a lot more efficient that I was on this trip 😉
I'm going to be very petty here, and question whether you used Chat GPT to plan your day at Alton Towers or just provide a random list of the rides....
Obviously another great video and fair play to fully committing and including he kiddies rides as well.
Yeah you’re right I merely asked it to randomise, if I’d specifically asked it to plan my day I’m sure the order would have been very different. 🙂
Are you in favour of Flamingoland Loch Lomond?
Tricky one. I’d love a park up here, but that was planned to be something different and clearly has had a load of push back. I don’t think Loch Lomond is a good place to put something like that.
@coaster_dad Yeah, would prefer them to acquire M&Ds and build it back up.
Yeeee
😂
25,000 steps is my guess.
At least you didn't have to queue.
I'm not one that shies from physical activities, but I hate all the walking (and standing in queues on a busy day) that you have to do in Towers. I felt like I've done a 10h shift in a factory last time I was there. Makes me think twice if I want to return. They need the Sky Ride back ASAP.
Don't sacrifice yourself too much for TH-cam.
It was exhausting but I had a load of fun nonetheless 😀
Maybe 30,000 steps?
Good guess. You’ll find out at the end 😀
A loved this mate but a wouldn’t do it again 😅 ya poor man running from pillar to post and missing the good rides the things u do for content 😢🤪
Aye, it was a bit of a laugh. But on a quiet day like that I could have lapped most of the major rides easily. 😀
@@coaster_dad as a said the things u do for content 😅 . Try and go to Bayern park for the launched coaster it’s ment to be sooooo intense ad love to see ur reaction on it mate anyways hope the channel explodes u deserve it yer a good guy plus yer Scottish 🏴 😂
30000 steps
Good guess
Another reason why AI ain't there just yet. Can't even pick a good way round a theme park.
Ha ha, to be fair I didn’t ask it to optimise my day, I just asked it to randomise purely for entertainment value. But as you said it’s not quite there yet.

Great as always mate, got done in by the skyline not being open aswell 😂🫣.
Aye that didn’t help! 😂
