Very deep behind the scenes. Love all the Oblivion stuff and how genuinely excited everyone was. That is the magic. Rushing to the gates and the giddy excitement amongst everyone
I worked 4 seasons (between 1999 until 2004, including my first season) at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and this is exactly what it is like, to work at theme parks. I miss it so much
First saw this on telly way back = loved it then and still love it ! Worked WITH AL (not for) and had the opportunity to visit the parks when closed and quiet - almost spooky. AT still going strong - I wish them well.
Crazy amount of adverts, ruined a great video for just short of 50 minutes of fottage there was around 30 adverts, TH-cam has ruined it for viewers and content creators
For Somethings.. There Is No Rational Explanation.. There Is No Way Out.. There Is No Happy Ending To This Story.. Welcome To The Unknown.. Welcome To A Tunnel Darkness.. Welcome.. To Oblivion..
The bit about the unions is the only thing that I find really dodgy!, Unions were founded for a reason!, To make sure that employers can just abuse and treat Employees like crap.

I was obsessed with this documentary.. recorded it off tv in the 90s and re watched it countless times on VHS 😢

4:30 “They decided to build the worlds most magical roller coaster.”
They actually made the most “JOLLY”est roller coaster instead…
🚫👀⬇️
The bassets shop and children’s world.. does it get anymore 90s than that? 😂
Good times!
Oh dear! Hope Alton Towers look after their staff better now
Indeed - very different era!
If you wake up in the middle of the night, hearing the music, it’s Time to bag up!😂
But at 35:35, as we know it’s important for us to stay indoors to keep warm during the winter season.

This is why, nowadays, I only ever watch TH-cam on my PC with an ad blocker. It's just painful to try to use it any other way.
Creator tryin to cash in. They decide
@@nickbarnett1942no they don’t any more. It used to be like that but I think TH-cam changed it so that all videos run ads
42:49 average Nemesis Reborn opening day experience
Always been like this, always will be like this

I waited for about 2hrs and a half to have 1 go on the smiler 🥴
If you don’t want to wait 2 and a half hours. Then don’t get in a 2 and a half hour queue.
@@fwutig1121 it said 1 hour but 2 mechanical issues added a long time to it oh and we got to the smiler queue when the park opened
How times have moved on omg
I wonder when did they stop employees from smoking in the building?
Haha, I’m on this, having to play the cringe worthy musical chairs in the morning 🤦♀️
I swear this was a series….or there was a series about Alton Towers wasnt there? Or was this it and it was only 50 min?
You may be thinking of Parklife, also viewable in the relevant playlist on this channel.

State of that girl on the couch how unprofessional. Scruff 😂😂😂
Cringe 😂😂😂
Not a good promotion having staff smoking whilst being interviewed!!!!
Those were the 90s!
125 rides and attractions ?? 15:30 dont think thats right ha
