thank youuu
Happy Easter Shawn and Charlotte
Happy Easter to you too. Have an amazing day.
happy easter! I love your videos! I'm also going to Portaventura world for 7 days in august, do you have any tips?
Happy easter
Can't believe how good the lighting is around the park, especially Katanga at night! Big postive sign.
The lighting looks amazing!
@@ThemeParkWorldwidedengvs g s d is usually g every end s troubles ever d tabrvavbtnhq
Just shows how much impact good management can bring to a park in such a short time. It looks world class with the lighting.
The lighting great!
Even a 10pm closing time now going forward is hardly going to give much dark nights till later in the year. I think you are right...that they should have extended those 3 nights till 10pm and more nights now I mean now !! Till 10pm. Then back to selective till July and back to 6 to 8pm closing time in the summer.
Even
Galactica is actually looking great inside - it has a new dispatch sequence flashing blue and white as the train leaves, looks really cool!
That’s good to hear!
Me and a group of mates got there as soon as the park opened yesterday, ended up riding Rita 10 minutes early. It was a great day to go!
That’s great! It’s always worth arriving before opening to make the most out of your day!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide heeeeeey
Omg same I went on it twice
Great to hear that this year’s Scarefest may be much improved, I feel like it’s gotten worse every year compared to when it first started! Well done Towers for listening finally! 😊
It’s looking like we’ll be seeing a much better Scarefest this year!
@ThemeParkWorldwide I enjoyed seeing you in the park yesterday and enjoyed the chat at the end of the day in the nemesis queue line and thanks for the pictures and keep on riding. thanks, Scott
Great to see you!
I hope they continue to roll out what they've done with Forbidden Valley and Gloomy Wood. All the lighting, roaming actors and small things like the sound effects just bring the areas to life. It feels like you're in a different theme park around there. I'm hoping the Nemesis waterfalls come back and they do some theatircal tricks to make it look red.
Hopefully so!
Loved the tweeting birds at sunset
Loving the birds twittering, such a relaxing sound
Your enthusiasm is infectious, I watch all your videos and haven’t been to a theme park since the Corkscrew was #1! #themeparkworldwide
Good vid I love then it’s dark at theme parks
Alton Towers looking fantastic at night! Loving the new lighting around the park, and yes red lighting and waterfalls on Nemesis please.
It was incredible last night!
It looked it! Thanks for sharing the footage, there's definitely a different atmosphere at night within a themepark...Great to see River Rapids running as it should and Air (yes it will always be Air in my eyes lol) with at least a clean-up. Next on the theme update I'm thinking.
wow the park is really coming together now! with a few more flat rides and the skyride back it's going to be back to its best
That’s what we want to see!
Me and my mate went last Tuesday, 26th March and had a cracking day. Queues were not too bad at all. Surprised to see Nemesis only had 20 min queue at max. We managed get on all the thrill rides, even Smiler and Nemesis twice. We were buzzing. Keep up the great content.
Can't lie, still a bit gutted about Duel being replaced!!
Got to say these are my favourite theme park youtubers! and I think theve been to alton more this month then I will this year
Thank you so much!
You both need to wear those tops on your Stag & Hen do's!! 👌
Love them!
Lovely to meet you both yesterday! We didn’t get on Smiler until 20:45 in the end so with the clock change didn’t get back to Plymouth until 3am 😂 what a day!
It was great to see you
You're such a lovely couple. You both have such infectious enthusiasm!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for letting me have a picture with you I had a great day and you made it even better!!!
It was good to see you!
Happy Easter! You two always document the parks, even when things aren’t the best, in the most positive and honest ways. Well done. 👏 This is an amazing vlog. The park seems to be coping a bit bitter than a few weeks ago, but it was utter chaos around X Sector and The Smiler. Hope it can be worked on.
Thank you Adam!
Literally every ride I queued for broke down. The Smiler was particularly bad. Stuck in the queue line for almost 2hr30. Galactica went down twice whilst we were in the queue. Joined Wicker Man, it went down. Half an hour into Spinball, it went down. Fantastic night ride on Nemesis though despite it also breaking down haha
Yeah it was a bit of a disappointing day operations wise!
We experienced the same when we went a couple of weeks ago. 3 rides in 6 hours in the end. Rita broke down whilst we were in the queue, as did Nemesis Reborn and Smiler. Wicker didn't open until later, the rapids and thirteen not at all. Really poor showing from the park to have so many issues and it sounds like it wasn't an isolated incident.
Great to see all the lighting at night you got some really good shots, i especially liked the shots of the gardens and the Alton ruins. It would be great to see some more of the gardens with all the spring flowers out, perhaps you could do another garden tour its a while since you did one.
Thank you! The gardens are beautiful and one of our favourite places to spend time!
Loving the waterfalls 16:51
They are great
The Alton After Dark is absolute INSANE! I wish I could of been there during it! Happy Easter you guys!
I went yesterday with my two friends I got to meet you and my friend was seen when in the nemisis shop your videos are really good!
Hey there Shawn and Charlotte did you and Charlotte have a lovely Easter this weekend bring more updates or see you parents and do more cooking shows with your parents because I miss them so very much I love you Shawn and Charlotte so millions xxxx
We felt that Nemesis was so much smoother and a fantastic ride 😊😊😊
It’s great to have her back in action!
I'm from Germany and my sister will study in Birmingham for a semester abroad this autumn and I'll visit her and we plan on visiting Alton Towers 😍 I have wanted to go since discovering your channel a few years ago and the way the park looks right now I'm beyond excited!!
Thank you!
Wickerman looks awesome in the dark, the flames adds to the atmosphere 😊
It does!
So glad Rita is back on both trains!! When I went on the 23rd, I waited nearly an hour first thing. Was there at about 9:40 and it had already started running on its one train.
my 21st birthday visit yesterday, it was a treat to bump into you two outside nemesis at the end of the day! thanks for saying hi- and for the cameo video my dad booked for me ❤ !
It was great to see you yesterday thank you so much for taking the time to take photos with every one you made my day so much better !!
Really enjoy the video, thanks Shaun and Charlotte, But thought nemesis looked too red everywhere with the lighting, maybe they could try some different colours around the ride to break it up abit. They did add some blue/purple @45:45 around the loop which added a nice effect.....
Happy Easter theme park worldwide
Happy Easter! Alton Towers really seems to be improving recently.
There’s some great changes!
I was there yesterday it was great to get a photo with you guys! 😀
Great to see you!
We are missing a trick in the UK by not opening our Theme and Amusement Parks at night. Id much rather see 12pm to 10pm opening times than 10 to 6
I’m in the background of this vid lol 😂 can’t believe I got a picture with you !! Charlotte you’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen !! Xx
Love charlottes new nemesis jacket it looks so nice
Thank you. We love the new Nemmy merch!
@@ThemeParkWorldwideCurse at Alton Manor has now got a RESIN!

I watch you guys every day I have subscribed comment and put a fums up on your videos thank you for posting these video s they really do mean a lot to me thank you keep on ridding 👍
@ThemeParkWorldwide
Happy Easter Shawn and to everybody at Theme Park Worldwide! 🐣🐇🐣🐇🐣
I bet that you had an amazing day at Alton Towers, especially experiencing their Alton After Dark event. I’m hoping that they keep continuing with the recent improvements, especially with Nemesis Reborn and Rita having two trains.
Here’s hoping that the park will reopen the sky ride.🤞
I’m really surprised that you guys love the curse of alton manor as much as you do.
Love the Wickerman in the dark! I couldn’t decide between Nemesis Reborn and Stealth for me as my favourite uk coaster!
We have been in Parc Astérix today and have enjoyed incredibly short queue times! Many rides were walk on. Our first trip here, can’t wait until tomorrow for day 2. Happy Easter!
Hi Shawn and Charlotte happy Easter to you both. Great vlog and great advise on where to start in the park . Love that tunnel by the towers. Been visting Alton towers since 88 and never knew that tunnel exists but it was all about the rides when i was younger 😊. Blimey that pizza and pasta has gone up a lot. Loved that place as well . Packed lunch from now on.
Great video Shawn and Charlotte from Alton Towers from the daytime and at AltonTowers After Dark as well, keep the good videos coming on the channel Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😀👍👍
Wonderful light impressions, i think we need more evening events at Alton Towers
Gutted we didn't see you yesterday, but as half the population seemed to be there no wonder! We struggled yesterday as a family of 4. It started with the amound of rides that where down, had to evac the Curse twice and galactica. The queue times seemed to differ from the App too as Wickerman was a 50min wait when we arrived in the queue but it took us 1hr 45mins? I cant blame anyone though as i had chosen to go on a bank holiday weekend. Keep on riding 😊
I was behind you when you were at th13teen 😂
Hope you had a great day!
"£21, glad i've got my packed lunch for tonight" creasing at this 18:55
Loving Charlotte’s energy haha! The park looks great in the sunshine and at night! That’s one thing we found when we visited last summer, the park closing at such an early time on a busy day meant we could barely get anything done! Here’s to more late closing! 🎉
Thank you!
Love how you showed that tunnel.i didn't even know it existed! Could you do a vlog about where that chained up tree is and the story behind it please? I didn't have a clue when we had a walk in the gardens so am intringued x
Highlight is when Shawn just shouted ‘something about a Woody, especially when light up!’
Lovely to see you both and my name is James I was the person who said, Shawn as walking into the curse at Alton Manor Also I was impressed with the lights at Alton Towers what do you think Alton Towers could do to make it better?41:45
I think I have to agree. Nemesis is just about better than Icon and has taken the number 1 spot in the uk. The intensity is great and the inversions are brilliant
Happy Easter mate, I hope you get to relax over the holidays and have fun with your family
Thank you!
Thank you for a great vlog! I had some bad news about a family member yesterday. But this has cheered me up profoundly! Happy Easter to you both!
Another great video thankyou so much im still hoping to go here before i pass away with the fact i have terminal cancer and alton towers was my first major theme park i just want to close the chapter where it started and be happy that 30 years since my first ride and visit i get to do it again 🎉
Sorry to hear that. We really hope you can visit again soon!
I’ve really enjoyed this video! I’m feeling really excited about the park, the lightings looking brilliant! I love theme parks at night, such a great atmosphere. ❤
Was expecting Alton towers to be busy as it was Easter Saturday but was surprised that the queues weren’t longer for nemesis . Managed a couple of re-rides including a back row at night . Have to agree it was running so fast , it was incredible . The whip and intensity through the turns and inversions was amazing . As for our favourite roller coaster in the uk icon is up there with nemesis . Think nemesis is top for intensity but icon for smoothness
Rode back row 3 times on nemesis on Good Friday, and what a good friday it was! Defo the fastest its ever been running the helic in particular is incredible. Always been my number 1 in UK love you Nemmy
I was there yesterday too and it was a amazing day we waited for the smiler to open even tho it had a delayed open and it was a walk on so amazing start to the day and we got our night nemisis run it was amazing... Also Alton team was amazing since our fast passes for nemisis was for when the ride was down and they let us ride Wicker man for one last ride in the dark.. great day glad you two had a good day too
Loved seeing the park in the dark last night!
Great informative vlog again both, the Nemesis clothing looks good on you two. The waterfall does look nice, hope to see the Towers open again at some point in the near future. My son was there too from the afternoon. He managed to get rides on 13, Wicker Man, TCaAm, Sub Terra and a night time ride on Nemesis - which was the main reason for his visit. The Park is looking great and will continue to improve with Bianca in charge, she's doing a fab job 👍
Thank you!
Never had the chance to ride the original Nemmy, but rode Reborn for the first ever time last week and I instantly loved it!
Love the reference to Thunder Valley on the helicopter, bring back Thunder Looper!
We walkes done that path at the side of the towers and down to the back of the towers and saw the theming sets and props for Alton Ville mine tours which was great to see!
Absolutely brilliant full of the atmosphere wonder. 🍫👌🏻
love your videos been watching since the old fantasy island ones !! Going Alton towers next week super excited
Happy Easter Shawn and Charlotte, have a great Easter.
Have a great Easter!
I saw you both yesterday and had a picture I was so happy I’ve been a fan of this channel for years
Great to meet you!
Happy Easter, Theme Park Worldwide. 😊
@themeparkworldwide I was there on the 26th when I think you had your Wickerman track walk, searched for you everywhere and couldn’t find you 😂
I got one last year, I potted in into a bigger pot. It’s been outside all winter with just a slight frost burn on some leaves. It produced 2 new leaves since august last year
Brilliant to see the park busy and also the rapids back open (great that Henry Hound's Photo Platform is still there after the waterfalls). Also love the nod on the helicopter to Thunder Valley on the tail & SW3 nod on the bus. Following on from all the Easter Eggs in the Curse, it seems that Towers are acknowledging their past something years ago that wasn't always the case.
There was a great atmosphere yesterday!
Nice to speak to you both briefly , near the runaway train [ which as you said in the vlog ,did not have a wait time ] Good to see the rest of the park in the dark , I chose to stay with Nemisis had a great front row ride in the semi dark , and a night ride afterwards . The theming at night is great especialy by the crashed helicopter .
Great to see you!
I totally related to the emotional aspect of walking up to nemmy for the first time since the retrack I got really teary and enjoyed riding it again, I heard the rattle but it was so nice to be back riding it again
Nemesis looks amazing at night !!
Love it
It was incredible last night
I cant wait to ride nemesis reborn when i go this year!
Was there the day before you guys, saw them filling the rapids haha. Don't know if you guys noticed but Smiler was proper rough that day plus it's making a pretty loud squeeling noise that I could hear from the towers haha
It was making a loud noise yesterday too!
it was amazing seeing you yesterday hope you had a good day! 😁
It was great to see you!
I've listened to it three times now, and I remain convinced you said testicles, not tentacles 😂. Hilarious lol
Definitely tentacles 😂
It must have been 12 or 13 years since I last went to Alton Towers. There was no Smiler and Wicker Man then, Galactica was called Air and Ripsaw was there. I need to go again
Best time to go to Alton Towers is a week day in the light rain.
I went on a Monday during school hours once and I didn't have to queue AT ALL. Got off a ride and straight onto it again. Went on smiler 5 times in a row!
Weekdays outside of the holidays are the best time!
It's my 40th birthday! 31.3 and I spent it with my family and friends at Marton Mere for 5 days and had an 11 hour day at my favourite park with plenty of rides... Pleasure beach xxx
Went last Saturday and sunday it was so good ita been freshened up. Nemesis was amazing didnt break down when all the other rides were shut she carried all the park on her back. The theming has taken a 6/10 coaster (by modern standards...) to a 10/10. Its just so cool.
It’s good to see more theming and lighting going in!
30:12 Sounds like you really like the red eye that is new at Alton Towers.
love the toilet fact 😂
Thank you guys for the video. Park looks amazing. Definitely going to look into booking to visit in June sometime for a couple of days, as hoping it will be quiet, not many queues and want to try to beat my record of 7 times in a day on Oblivion. Aiming for 10.
Thanks for watching!
We went on the 23rd and it was very busy! We had silver fast tracks and still didn’t get on The Smiler because it was so busy and rides kept going down. Nemesis however was amazing. They had a QR code to scan in the queue line when 4 people queue jumped and pushed through. People reported it and security came and got them out of the queue at the merge point; it worked so well! 🙌
Rita was on 1 train and advertised it. 13 was only on 1 train but it didn’t say. We waited an hour in fast track, main queue line was 3 hours even though it was advertised at 80 mins!
I think the park should be open until 10pm in the Summer.
Omg, 44:46 is me and my family on the front row 😂
I finally managed to get to Alton Towers and got front row on nemisis for a night ride, that was flying around, my second uk favourite after Smiler and have a new top wodden coaster being Wickerman
Went on Saturday few weeks back and absolutely everything except the kiddy rides were 100+ minutes. Got 4 rides in 5 hours. By the time we got home spam messages from the app saying we got a free return ticket 😂
Good times 👍
Call sign on helecopter is a nice touch.
Best themed coaster in the uk now by a country mile. However we did a dark ride on front row Saturday night and I felt it was running way too fast,the rattle on the front row and how rough it felt over the zero G compared to the day ride was literally like night and day, really spoilt the experience!!
Another amazing video. I just sore my self when you were going on the monorail at curse. And keep up the amazing videos
Thank you!
Happy Easter Shawn!! enjoy your day
Have a great day
Shawn Nemesis’ teeth were moving like that on opening day! I think they must have different setting they can put them on
Love this setting, it really makes the beast feel alive!
Loving the Alton towers videos looking forward to my next visit wish they’d open late more often,are you doing a food video this year
Thank you! The 8pm closes are great 😃 We will be very soon!
I was so scared on the wickerman on the photo my eyes were yellow\orange 😭
We are heading up to Staffordshire to see family for Easter +mine and my sister's birthdays. We are going to Alton Towers on the 3rd for my birthday and we are also going to the rollercoaster restaurant for the first time.
Happy Easter BTW!
Have a great time. Love RCR!
