Thunderlooper, Corkscrew, Black Hole. The glory days 😀

[@xsm5525]

Nemesis was ahead of its time for AT in my opinion!

[@SteveDavies80]

Absolutely. 30 years later, very few rollercoasters are as good.

[@Baker_-fm2gk]

It's got another 30 years yet, they recently just remade it

[@samhumphries7377]

Would be one of the world’s best if a bit longer.

[@danielward4868]

There is something so charming about seeing how the park used to be. Even nemesis looked very different back then (not considering reborn). It sounds just like how I remember it though!

[@matts80s90s]

Great video. Really captures the era.

[@ThemeParkLuke]

AT low-key having better flat rides back then than it does now 😂

[@dieselgav]

The Astro Dancer was deceptively brutal. I loved it!

[@koolstup]

Woah...those Thunder Looper memories, it breaking down in the pouring rain, brakes not working, soaked to the skin 😅

[@ajhazymusicgaming]

The memories 😁. Thanks for sharing

[@freakyzulu82]

Fantastic video, so many fond memories came flooding back.

[@AmusementInsider]

Amazing footage

[@markymark-r]

I was there that year. 14 years old. Still hooked on Nemesis 🦀

[@stockjjk222]

it looks so surreal

[@MrPaulBriffett]

I can't believe they had New Beast and the Black Hole there at the same time. They had the same layout!

[@Tommo1983ful]

Near enough, but remember 99% of the public isnt going to know that or particularly care if they did.

[@spamwise249]

@@Tommo1983ful Blew my mind when i found out. In my defence I was a child but I used to adore New Beast but thought Black Hole was just OK. The ride experience changes everything about it (unless you know).

[@howardarends8309]

I was there watching WWW that day. Me and my girl Kept leaving the gig to go back and ride Nemesis.
There was no queue.

[@sarahjoyholden7856]

I gained concussion, broken jaw, and teeth on Corkscrew, never again. The last time I went,'Rita' had not long been opened (2005). Now, in my 50's and doubt, I'll be going again, no longer appeals to me.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

When Towers was a world class park. 😢

[@somethingsinister8493]

People still travel from all over the world to Alton Towers. Nemesis Reborn opening day had the longest queue in Alton Towers history. Alton Towers remains a world class park with a much greater line up than it had in 1994.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

@@somethingsinister8493 The rides are soooooo bland though! Barely any flats and the coasters.... meh.... Lets face it theres 25 coasters in Europe that you would pick before any from Towers.

[@freakyzulu82]

Since Merlin took over quality certainly took a major dive. Now with the new management model and Bianca at the helm, I think we are at the foot of a new golden era.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

@@freakyzulu82 What would really put Towers back on the map would be a world class RMC over the Valley.

[@Jchris26]

So when did the ride height restrictions come in? They can't build above tree line but that shuttle looper is much taller

[@Clyde__Frog]

ThunderLooper was removed in 96 after locals complained about the loud noise it made, the treeline rule was brought in for the next season.

[@5impleSteph]

I like Rita and Thirteen but the whole of Talbot center/Ug Land/Dark Forest use to be so much more open
I also remember how the wet wet wet concert was a question in the flume queue! 😁

[@blueice735]

They should 100% open up dark forest

[@TimeEmotion1971]

I was there that summer is that 30 years ago? It’s just how I remembered

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

Hi! I'm creating a documentary about the history of the Blackhole. Would you mind me using some of this footage in my video. Full credit will be given on the video and a link to your channel in the description. Thanks!

[@LADventure]

Yes mate. No problem.

[@KerstinEsch]

Hey, can anyone remember the waterride from that time. Been there 1994 and I dont really know its name anymore. Nice too see recordings from that time btw.

[@meelsg]

the log flume??

[@jdanielpUK]

rubber dinghy rapids?
