This video has just made my day, im a massive rollercoaster fan/alton towers. I was only 7 when this video was made i hadnt been on nemesis, or thunder looper at this time and i dont remember the thunderlooper, and its great to see it in action here on this video. Nemesis was 2 years old there aswell looking great best ride in the world in my opinion. great video
Brilliant! I went in October 1996 on a bitterly cold, wet weekday and the place was empty! I went round Nemesis about 3 times in a row because the trains could never be refilled with new passengers, and I did the same on The Beast. A whole train to myself about 4 times round. :P
@coastermadab It did run much, much faster in those days. Not sure why Alton Towers changed so many features. This is an amazing video. Absolutely loved the Beast when it was there (was always terrified of the Thunder Looper, though). It was 1996 that I first rode Nemesis, too . I'll never forget it.
wow look at that q-line for The Haunted House! When did people's love for dark rides go down so much? These days Duel is just a straight walk-on affair. The UK needs more decent dark rides and a better atmosphere like Alton Towers used to have...those were the days. :(

I was 9 years old when this was made. Was it me because I was a kid or did Alton Towers feel more magical to be at back then?
It was it is not as magical because it is too gimmicky now

I know that. I probably didn't know when I posted the comment 3 years ago though
NO OBLIVION! I love Oblivion!
That came out in 1998
The Mine Train appears to be running faster...
