1. Nemesis was the first B&M invert in Europe. 2. Oblivion was the world’s first vertical drop coaster. 3. Galactica was the world’s first B&M flying coaster. 4. Thirteen was the world’s first vertical drop track. 5. The smiler was the worlds (and only) first 14 inversion coaster. 6. Wickerman was the world’s first wooden coaster to incorporate real fire. They’re all world or at least EU firsts.
As a Brit watching your vlogs of our parks it's hilarious, but also nice that you enjoy the rides even though some are a little tame by USA standards. At least you had a Brit with you to explain the cultural differences (was he with TPW years ago?) Love your reactions to our crazy summer weather!! Also subscribing and watching your other UK vlogs. You're all mad and l love you for it!!!!😂😂😂😂
He was with TPW but there were some pretty serious allegations levelled against him and don't think he's been back since. (Said neutrally, I have no idea of the truth of them or ins and outs)
Your going after scar fest I can tell because I went to the scare fest opening day on the 7th and trust me it was crowded 2 hour wait for wicker man but everything else fastrack clutch
The way this video has become a comfort video of mine, whenever I’m on the bus on the way to work and I have a panic attack or before going to sleep I’ll always watch this LMAO. I’m so sad.
with alton towers being my local park, and it's one of my favourite places on earth, it's funny to see someone totally new explore the place. glad you enjoyed alton towers !!
Galactica, the flying coaster was the actual prototype that was taken out of the B&M factory and brought to Alton towers, so not only have you now ridden the prototype dive coaster (oblivion) but you have also done the prototype B&M flying coaster too! :)
Alton towers: The only park with literal eldrtich horrors, evil ministries who want to control you, drops into oblivion where you never come out, a dead girl in the woods, a cursed manor and then there is octonauts. All in one park!
I pretty much grew up there. My mother is from Stoke on Trent so I grew up going there from when it was mostly gardens and the first rollercoaster with 2 upside downers - The Corkscrew. I’m so happy to see they’ve put it at the entrance (it used to be bright yellow)… the Nemesis is my fave along with Rita Queen of Speed… it’s a beautiful park alongside being a kick ass coaster park.. you can’t see Alton Towers until are literally on top of it as no ride is allowed to be taller than the tree line…. Which is why they dig into the ground (see Oblivion)…
The coasters at Alton Towers are particularly ingeneous in design because of the planning restrictions on the park. The whole estate is protected & one of the big restrictions is that they’re not allowed to build above the tree line. This is why Oblivion goes into a tunnel, they literally couldn’t build it any higher. Similar with The Smiler, they can’t build it high so they put a shit ton of inversions in it instead.
I wish more parks did the track pieces and coaster memorabilia like the corkscrew, that's so cool. CEBEEBEE'S WHAT THE F--- LMAO. the harness in the "steal his look" made me HOLLER. I also don't know how long you've been doing the audio from the watch with the POV merge because it is so normal feeling now, but its so inventive and I love the immersion. Its great work.
Happy B’day Alex! I just wanna say, I absolutely agree with the love for the Smiler. Just the theming alone makes for a great concept outside of the coaster. Also fun fact, Spinball Whizzer used to be themed to Sonic the Hedgehog. Hence the color scheme.
Just found your channel and subscribed straight away. Love your vlog style, the edits are wonderful and putting in the povs was genius as others have said. I always love americans appreciating stuff here in the UK 😊
i would really recommend going for scarefest! (the halloween season) the park stays open until 9pm so you can go on the rides in the dark, and they have scare attractions and mazes, it’s a really fun experience
The tree at 14:45 looks like a Monkey Puzzle. It comes from South America (Chile and Argentina). They were popular as an ornamental plant in many peoples gardens.
OMGGG i love your videos and i don't know much about Uk coasters but i always get so excited to watch ur vlogs HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE REST OF THE PARKS also you make my days so much better
If you ever come back to the UK around November, go to the Alton Towers Bonfire Night display, they have the best firework show, you will ever see in your life, they are also open until 9pm and you can ride all the rides in the dark!! Also the wicker man is fucking amazing at night, it's all lit up with fire and everything and it feels 10x faster in the dark. Also the smiler at night is amazing!! Been on Galactica in the dark too! But the Wickerman becomes the best ride there in the dark. It's a whole other experience and with the theming, it's 10x better then the other rides in the dark. Trust me on this! The firework display will be one of the best things you ever experience, it's out of this world. It's always on the closet weekend to November 5th :)
I love alton towers, used to some here all the time with school (there are always schools here) and a couple times with my family. Rode oblivion 4 times when i was 9, but was terrified of air and nemesis because they went upside down. Went on enterprise not realising it went upside down later on and got over the fear. Will also never forget the time i was almost thrown off the wicker man twice lmao, i never hold on on rides and was by myself on a seat for two and was sliding everywhere
I can recommend staying on site at the Alton Towers Hotel. There’s 2 but I prefer this one to Splash Landings. There’s also a water park available which is great. The lifts are epic with lights and sound effects. They showed films on a HUGE projector screen in the evening so parents can chillax a bit in the bar area… you should see some of the themed family rooms, they’re fab. And there’s a Spa (bliss, had a massage). They also have a CBeebies themed hotel for those with young kids. They now have woodland cabins etc. so many options and it makes a 2 day park stay so much more flexible and useful.
watching to psych myself up to go on the smiler!. One thing I'm thinking, the staff, they have to listen to that music ALL DAY 😂 They must hear it in their sleep. The shirt and pants are pyjamas!
Great video man! Recently went on an east cost theme park road trip in the US so it's cool to see how the other experience is. Just a brutal shame you missed out on both the legendary B&M inverts here and at Thorpe Park. They are iconic, particularly Nemesis at AT. Hope you had a sick time
hello Alex! i am going to Walibi Holland the 20th of october, but i am really scared to go on the big rollercoasters, but my friends really want me to go on them, and i also never went upside down, or ive never ridden a big rollercoaster, do you have any suggestions/ Tips for me? i would really apreciate it!
Oblivion is short yeah, but cost more then the Smiler due to the tunnel. Id love for them to add an inversion but never gonna happen. Also the drops like 180ft but the rides only 60ft tall XD
Oh wow, i did not know that! That's super interesting and makes sense. It's gotta be hella expensive to tunnel through the ground lol. I bet that ate up the budget
@SeungberrynI was more scared of it before I went on it I used to be terrified of coasters but smiler is great and not at all scary just loopy 😇 definitely seen kids on the ride too. It’s the build up and nervousness before that’s the worst but once you get on it it’s great fun and you’ll want to go on it again and again (as long as you aren’t too dizzy that is haha)
I do! I do this whenever parks don’t allow on-ride filming or if I was unable to obtain permission to film on ride so I can still share the experience with you guys as best as possible :) while still following the rules
this is my local park! at the start of the video when you were showing the journey, you drove through a street in my town, chances are you probably drove past my house too because my street is one of the main roads people use to get there!
Literally just cam back from Alton what a place to be at this time spaccially the masses definitely didn’t get scared and wicker man at the back last ride at night best thing ever

thank you for the first 3 second jumpscare lol great video
Yo! Can we get an Alton Towers 2024 Vlog as Nemesis Reborn just opened a couple of months ago!
@@iMizzy777 yup, it's still stuck in there almost a year later
@@AdventuresWithAlex haha when I went about 1 year ago it’s still in mine slightly
My heart goes out to the ride crew who have to operate the Smiler, listening to that song for hours and hours every day must mess with your head.
They just hear “hahahahahhahayayahhhahhhahhahhahhhahhhhhhhahuhahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahhahhahhahahhahhahahahahahhahhahuhauhhah”
It stopped when my brother was on! Also the Ostronorts and 2 other rides stopped! 😅
Loll
@@evie.on.robloxthe smiler rejects him. He was already an advocate.
I would love that
1. Nemesis was the first B&M invert in Europe.
2. Oblivion was the world’s first vertical drop coaster.
3. Galactica was the world’s first B&M flying coaster.
4. Thirteen was the world’s first vertical drop track.

6. Wickerman was the world’s first wooden coaster to incorporate real fire.
They’re all world or at least EU firsts.
and Rita was Europe's first hydraulic launch Coaster
And Octonaughts Was The World's Fist Cbeebies Land Rollercoaster
Oblivion isn’t vertical, it’s 87.5 degrees

Best Video EVER! I've Been waiting for this video since day 1 (Slayest Video)
Fond memories of Alton Towers in the '80s as the Corkscrew was my first 'loop' roller-coaster experience.
U and me both! X
This thumbnail was the first thing I saw after waking up from a nap. I am terrified.
I’m OBSESSED with smiler I even cosplay it when I’m there
The structure at the heart of Alton Towers is not a castle, it is a stately home.
Happy birthday Alex! 🎉 🥳
I love watching your videos. I hope to one day visit this park. The Smiler looks so fun! 😵💫😁
It is :)

The Thumbnail scares me but this video was amazing!Happy early Birthday Alex😘🥳💅!

not only are your pieces entertainment, they are art. seriously! love the effort you put into your work.
As a guy who isn’t a big fan of rides you make it look sooooo fun
Love you man😄
The wors5 bit of rides is it ending
02:54 it's themed to being a pinball in a pinball machine, that's why it's supposedly 'dark' 😂
17:53 i would pay to go into thirteen without knowing about the drop track its such an amazing feature! And it was so fun the first time!
Not the "cebebees" 💀💀
They way you listened to the smiler theme track on the way there is crazy and you better go on it again

Adventure with Alex sorry but can you go to valley fair sometime in a video it’s in Minnesota!
Can’t wait too see you guys’ reactions to ride to happiness and taron!
I love the theme throughout the videos, how coffee seems to be not sweet enough for your American pallette
I love yours videos 2:59 ❤
Love Alton towers because it's fun and cheap.
Did the smiler soundtrack get stuck in your head?
Alex, you should go alton towers in October because they are doing scarefest with scare mazes and the park closes at 10pm, defo worth going.
You’ve got to come back for nemesis reborn! You’d love it! You’d also understand nemesis sub terra a bit more..
Just from the title of the video I was like "that's the Smiler isn't it?"
I was watching this for some reason the napoleon song got in my head lol!
I agree with you. The smiler is my favourite as well
I've been for a school trip, it was hilariously fun
Re weather - yeah, Staffordshire often has its own ecosystem re weather! I got heat stroke on a cloudy day lol.
Ahh I’m going on 3 days and I can’t wait! My 4th year going now and It’s so fun watching you enjoy all my favourite rides 😻
I love that you were obsessed with the Smiler!! One of my top roller coasters :D SMILE ALWAYS!!! X

SILLY ALEX ALWAYS PLAYING THE PRANK

I do! I do this whenever parks don’t allow on-ride filming or if I was unable to obtain permission to film on ride so I can still share the experience with you guys as best as possible :) while still following the rules
