Whoever picked this to be the park’s theme is an absolute genius. It perfectly captures how everything in the park is spread out and can’t be seen above the trees. The tune makes you feel like you’re wondering around and can’t see anything before uncovering the chaotic and thrilling rides hidden away. I can’t hear this theme without thinking of Alton Towers.
I feel more people recognise this as "That Alton Towers music" than as an actual classical piece of music. Also, it turns out, this was written for a play and has lyrics!
Fun fact: This song was inspired by a dream that Grieg (composer) had. He fell in love with the daughter of the king of the mountain. The king was enraged at this and chased him round the halls. As he ran faster and faster, the music picked up and the king gained on him, only to catch him at the end of the song.
I cant wait for my weekend at Alton towers this piece of music is just so addictive really put you in the mood for the best theme park ever Altontowers
I haven't been in 2 years and me and my family have been going since I was like 6 years old. I MISS YOU ALTON TOWERS. You could never get tired of Alton towers tbh. I am gonna go cry now. Hopefully we go back this year. 🤞🏻
As a kid I loved Alton Towers and it's creepy theming. The fact the whole place is basically in the woods and (being in northern England) usually dark and overcast every time I went, adds to the forbidding atmosphere. Must take my own little lad sometime (even though, unlike me, he hates big rides 😪). I hear the Scarefest they have nowadays is good fun.
I wish I could go to Alton towers I’ve never been in my whole life and seeing everyone else go and all the adverts on tv makes me wanna go im so hoping I go soon 😭😭🥺🥺💔💔
I feel a bit bad for the staff and owners of Alton Towers to constantly get complaints about the noise from a couple nearby who CHOSE to live next to a theme park
This song just suits adverts that are meant to give you excitement, it worked for Alton towers and it worked for Forza Horizon 4's Eliminator trailer, love this piece of music and never won't
It was my grandad's funeral today and this was his send off music... epic.... what a legend
RIP even tough this was a year ago
RIP :(
RIP what a legend
Awesome choice. 👌
RIP, what a banger for a funeral song though
The anticipation of this song as you ride the monorail...
Joelimations ‘n’ Stuff I miss Alton towers and used to love hearing this tune on the monorail taking u into the grounds of the park
Joelimations ‘n’ Stuff they really need to give the monorail a good clean
Joeltoonz ikr 😂
Sooo true... I can’t wait to go this year though
Im going to alton towers in the summer.:)

it's like a roller coaster as it starts slow to dramatic and the genre is spot on
I think that’s the point I’m not to sure though
Appropriate for a park like Alton Towers.
@@MovieFan1912 appropriate for any theme park with fast rides
Americans: Hall of the Mountain King
Brits: Nah mate it Alton Towers
American and classical musicians: Hall of the Mountain King

True
This is in the hall of the mountain king
Why does it get me exited 🙂
Does. Anyone. Not. Realise. This is not the ‘Alton Towers Theme Tune’ it is In The Hall of The Mountain King, a very famous composition.
It's like being trapped on a roller coaster you can't get off

This is a song in Aladdin Trouble called The Chase.
Favourite song from favourite theme park
I feel a bit bad for the staff and owners of Alton Towers to constantly get complaints about the noise from a couple nearby who CHOSE to live next to a theme park
1:43 When the strong kid starts chasing you
Absolute banger
Fun fact the name of this song is "In the hall of mountain king".
The rides are thrilling
Americans: wow such a beautiful song Edvard Grieg was a genius
British people: *screaming on the smiler intensifys*
Make ✍️ this ✍️ my ✍️ funeral ✍️ song ✍️
