I really wish that enterprise, corkscrew, thunderlooper and Blackhole where still there as i never got to ride them. I also wish it was still £2.50 for entry.
Black hole was class, corkscrew definitely showed it’s age towards the end came out of that ride with a mild concussion 😂
What about submission
@@thebestgamingever29that buggered off in 2015. As did basically every ride that year
Ye black hole was fun , corkscrew I went on last few years and was very nosey ruffer than infusion
Thunder Looper closed due to it being over the height restrictions
6:58 Where Alton Towers officially finds its voice.
The non-copyright Slimer on the haunted house ad tho 🤣
*the gunk bloke* should be his name
The curse at Alton Manor is a best dark ride for Alton Towers😊
"Hall of the Mountain King" has been a great iconic theme for Alton Towers for over 30 years.
I can't help but like the ads from the 80s as the music has that feeling of excitement that makes me want to be there.
So glad I found this video, thank you!!!
No worries! Enjoy. :)
Wow so they used the iconic song since 92!
It's called "In The Hall Of The Mountain King"
And Alton Towers didn't even write the song. But they still use it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@koiyune they're allowed to use it if they have permission... they didn't have to write it
Crazy how it went from prices being only £2.50 to £90 😂
💀💀💀💀
Lol
That is atleast 36x more than the first price
Yeah crazy
@@Deivids23WOAH
seeing the smiler and the wickerman ads bring back memories 🥲
Too bad that a day later after this upload a new Curse at Alton Manor AD was published.
Ahh yea rip
:(
Bruh
@@TowersExpert ahhh but don’t think the pain is over, we need the new addddd (of course we don’t)
And there was one that released yesterday 😅
Cool Vid mate, do more of this cool videos 😊
Some nice blasts from the past
30:57 from here and then on its incredible!
Epic. I can remember from 2008. I was age 7 then.
Interesting to see how their slogans/taglines have changed:
“Wherever you are, it’s nearer than you think.”
“It’s the biggest day of your life!”
“There’s nowhere like it on Earth.”
“Where wonders never cease.”
“Where wonders never cease and the magic never ends.”
“Where the magic never ends!”
“Make some great memories, you might need them someday.”
“Find your extraordinary something.”
“Escape to Alton Towers Resort!”
“Britain’s Greatest Escape!”
Wait, entrance price in 1984 -- £3.99 !!
That is £16.41 in todays money
The first ad said £2.50!
Rita really said “the best Alton towers ride ever” 🤓
It’s not the best but also not the worst ride ever
@@simplestuff1247 i mean it is fast But stealth is faster
It's fast but oblivion wins
@@thebestgamingever29 no smiler
30:06 This ad made me say no comment
0:44 tune is so nice
6:57 I Really Love Going To Alton Towers Theme Park In Staffordshire Near Derby In Derbyshire And Birmingham In England In The United Kingdom When I Was A Kid. Thanks Mate. X
No problem! Glad you enjoyed.
15:14 GREAT SCOTT. It's Barney And Friends The Original Series. My All Time Favourite HiT Entertainment Studios And Lyric Studios Children's Live Action Coming Of Age Fantasy Action Adventure Family Musical Comedy Television Series. Thanks A Lot Mate. X
I like the all the Alton towers ads even the 80s
I like thrill rides at Alton towers 10:53
I like how in 1980 it costs only 2.50 per entry, which means its about 9 pounds today. But now it costs like 40 pounds pp lol
I reckon their justification would be that it's a very different park now to 1980.
Peter Kay did that great sketch about rides like Nemesis and Oblivion, how ridiculous and OTT they seemed to folks brought up on the 80's stuff.
Also suspect they've worked out a sweet-spot with ticket prices, like imagine it was £9, I'd deffo go more often...but then loads of other people would too.
End up with 6 hour cues as standard.
My mum is in the galactic add
Air: *exists*
Alton Towers: *sponsored by a box of chocolates*
30:19 THE THROWING UP SOUND 😂
Was completely unavailable that for a time Rita was called Camilla
Im your 712 sub btw 😊
4:04 4:16 its the biggest day of your life
Then: ooo we got fun rides for the family! Come to alton towers!
Now: SMILE ALWAYS, DONT LOOK DOWN, SELL YOUR SOUL TO US AT ALTON TOWERS BABY
Fuck yes. The creepy theming is one of the best aspects of AT. Sets it above other UK parks IMHO.
@@rich_edwards79 Yess!! It was what drew me into the park in the first place! Love the smiler so much for the theming alone!
They've definitely gone back to the family friendly vibe for their ads in the last few years - let's hope SW9 brings back some creepy theming..
@@TowersExpert I vote for a blacklight ride!!!
one of the TH13TEEN ads could only be shown during the 9pm watershed, it was THAT creepy
The ads for 13 were scary af when they aired
There's actually a couple of versions - one with more shots of the girl, one with more shots of the riders. Supposedly the version with more shots of the girl was a post watershed version, shown past 9pm as to not disturb kids.. They're both back to back at 24:26
4:20
2.50, 3.99, 5.99 😭😭 now it's £70 if you don't book in advance. Mind you, it's still the best theme park. I love the scary factor of it
I cant beleve that it was only £2.50 to get in cos now its like £40.99
cool videos! would have been better if you included the wizard one from th3 90's. also its a day late. Love u towers expert xxx
also where's the 2023 sun savers advert?
happy birthday
The first time I rode the Corkscrew, in the late 80s probably, I was only just tall enough after years of disappointment.
We came down the 1at corner (the bit behind Terry Wogan (2.49)) then, as it rose up again I naturally pushed against my harness which lifted full in the air leaving me dangling by my arms. My big brother sitting next to me reached over, pulled me down & slammed my harness back in place just as we went upsidedown.
When we got off I wanted to go again but my brother wouldn't let me.
I didn't realise the gravity of what would have happened if he hadn't been next to me until years later. I genuinely owe him my life.
11:15 That's one of my favourite Alton Towers ads and at 13:09 I like that phrase it's like an action phrase
Interesting pick
@TowersExpert The reason why l like this ad is because it is funny
Im your 500 subscriber!
Thanks!
No problem!
£2.50 enterance let’s go!
5:05 i started laughing so hard
I think they should add the name air back as they removed the Vr on galactica
They should bring the score back, definitely...
so what im getting from this is
Hall Of The Mountain King is essentially alton tower's theme song?
Basically yeah and here in the UK it's probably more famously known as such
yep without its like having a pbj sandwich with no bread if you know what I mean
3.99 admission in 1984 with 60 rides and attractions isn't there still 60 maybe 70 rides and attractions its just 50 quid now
the adverts are really good recently
Can't beat the classics though ;)
🎉
I dont know why they removed "were the magic never ends logo"
As someone from America I want to go to Alton Towers and check it out.
It's worth the trip 👍
Best theme park in UK. Thanks to batman the ride we have the legendary nemesis.
When i was younger I visited at least a couple of times a year; back then they really leaned into the creepy / gothic / occult theming, which apparently US parks can't really do due to the influence of the conservative Christian lobby. The setting with the vast wooded grounds and the backdrop of the massive ruined Gothic mansion (once the biggest private home in Europe) is perfect for the dark theme and as it's in Northern England, chances are you'll get a suitably gloomy overcast day for it. I'm 44 now and haven't been back to AT for years but I'm determined to do Scarefest one of these days. I visited before in autumn and it really adds to the eerie atmosphere of the place.
@@rich_edwards79 What is the Conservative Christian Lobby if I don't mind asking you?
I rember when nemesis sub stera in 2012 i was a little baby awww
The adverts from the early 1990s are the best
Definitely agree - the advert for the Hotel is absolutely my favourite of the lot
The 1991 one is so American 1990’s 😂
I love Alton towers in 1980 and 1990 and 2000 ads 10:48
@@TowersExpert when I first saw the Air ad, not in my childhood but on a video about this, I realised that the sponsor of the ride is from *my favourite chocolate brand, FRICKING CADBURY.*
And years after that, the Flume was sponsored by a *soap brand.* *IMPERIAL LEATHER.*
Their sponsorships are weird...
Yep, that was my era. 14 in 1993, first visit to AT with school for the last night of the fireworks. Rode the Black Hole, Thunder looper and Corkscrew. Bonus was that I got to go round the park with a gorgeous Goth lass who I had a massive crush on (hi Amy 👋) The park was so creepy and atmospheric in late autumn and nowhere near as overdeveloped or commercialised as it is today. Anyone got a DeLorean I can borrow for an evening 😊
"That's it, you're Baaaa-rred!"
Me Watching Total Dramarama Be Like: 16:02
No
Brb, going to 1980.
Eh, it was a glorified funfair in the grounds of a crumbling ruin back then.
My favourite era was the early-mid 90s - lots of good rides, but not yet too overcommercialised (and expensive) as it is now.
12:29
Next year there will be a new nemesis ad I hope
GUESS WHAT!!!
@@neuravanny bit late i know
@@cooliuswizard4034 ti's alright ^^
:OOOOOO
If you're going for a 5 at alton towers and you've got carex it only costs 240dollars
Was the 1992 haunted house ride duel?
Yep, it started as a haunted house dark ride. Then it became Duel after its first re-theme.
By far the best dark ride I've ever been on. The Duel re-theme ruined it :(
15:13 Barney rapping
Where’s the full version of the Toyland Tours advert?
Decided not to include it this time. I'm not entirely sure of it's origin but I don't believe it was a TV advertisement in the same way as the others, which was part of the reason. The main reason for not including it though was because it was too long. I rewatch these back myself from time to time and always found myself skipping it 😂
@@TowersExpert Same
Exactly, It’s Too Long To Be A TV Commercial, It Was Probably Shown In A Movie Theatre And Not On TV
@@ThatAlfStarDude39175 I seriously seen it on TV.
@@flyingscotsmanreturns Interesting.. Would love to know it's origins, as I'm not 100% certain that it would have aired on TV?
Where's the music at the beginning of the video from? its been bugging me for hours.
I think Cloud Cuckoo Land?
It's the 2008 Monorail station soundtrack :)
@@TowersExpert Thank you!
I’ve just realised I nearly watched the whole thing 😂
Nothing wrong with that. I've seen the whole thing many, many, many, many, many, many (etc.) times... ;D
😢 9:43
okay but who was camilla queen of speed at 21:20?
"Shortly after opening, Rita was renamed ‘Camilla - Queen of Speed’ to commemorate the Royal Wedding that year." - www.altontowers.com/explore/theme-park/rides-attractions/rita/
HELP WAS CHANGING RITA TO CAMILLA AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE?
What if Alton tower makes a new location in USA and uk
They can never make up there mind of what to call air 😂
did they do the smiller?
29:34
Hope this helps!
21:43 sound effects only ad
Wtf Camila 😂 so glad that the ride is called Rita not Camila
It was renamed Camilla temporarily during the royal wedding i believe
Indeed it was :)
The price increases though. £2.50, £5.99, £8.99, £19.50, and it just keeps on going up. Watch 2050's advert say "£75.99" lol
I've just checked an inflation calc, and in 2050 it's more likely to be around £130... And that's only adjusting for inflation! :o
@@TowersExpert Damn, that's crazy!
me: i wasent born in the 1980s but i been there since i think 2013 when the smiler opened. why would there be a early 1980s advert? my freind: becuase when they opened to the public they was needing more guests so they had to make one. me: thats cool. and hey, can you make alternative ones, too? by my freind and me
Camilla 😭
Please make a 2024 Alton Towers evolution of are from 1980/2024
We'll see!
Maybe you could update it when SW9 comes out?
@@koiyune Good idea! I'd love to do one this year to include Curse & Nemesis Reborn's ads but I'm not sure it would be worthwhile - SW9 would def make it worthwhile :)
6:57 7:27 10:00
£2.50 in 1980 to enter Alton Towers 🥲 I know that's 40 years ago, but its crazy to see it compared to either £38 or £68 entry 🤣

*The Smiler and Wicker Man left the chat crying*.
Short story:
The Smiler: Why does everyone hate us a lot? I got the most inversions!
Wicker Man: Smiler, people just treat you dirty, people love me!
The Smiler: Wick, help me!
Wicker Man: Sorry… I was just kidding! But, I don’t know why a lot of people skips your ride…
The Smiler: They just treat me dirty! *Cries*.
Wicker Man: Oh s-.
The Smiler: Goodbye cruel Alton Towers and world…
Like this video, to cheer up The Smiler!😢😢😢
I love the smiler and every one of the other coasters
@@lucythornley6639 But, they said The Smiler and Wicker Man are the worst! But, I still love them! The Smiler is my second favorite while Wicker Man is my 3rd favorite! My favorite Alton Towers ride is Nemmy, ofc!
Wickerman and smiler weren't built when they did the ad so it wasn't included
@@Ae_stheticI like nemesis too but I still think smiler is the best nemesis is second on my list riding it on the 10th of April
