Thank you for bringing us along with you! I think what set this apart from other tours was that each person you encountered was an expert in their own field; gives a much more personal feel to the event. Looks like an incredible way to spend an evening, certainly not one you'll forget!
That looked like a really special event. I met John Wardley at a small VIP thing at Thorpe a long time ago. Absolute gentleman full of fascinating stories, our photo is still on my wall. He was happy to chat at length with anyone who wanted to. Fantastic day I’ll never forget.
I can't quite get over how he reacted when he saw me... his whole face lit up and he grabbed my arm and said "Sean, Sean it's so lovely to see you!! Come stand next to me let's have a photo" I couldn't quite believe what was happening haha
I had my first ever nemmy Reborn ride may 4th like What Rattle??? It was smooth as butter if not better than closing day even though you couldn't film bianca thanks so much for capturing the Q&A with the staff it was extremely insightful
There’s a very well known rattle (one train more than the other) it’s very prominent across the train and has been picked up by members of the public too with the staff saying yesterday they’re still working hard to resolve it but it is a real issue for them
Just been to the one that was held on friday 29th. It was an amazing event, so well run. Talk was really interesting, and such a privilege to go behind the scenes. Waited until i had done my event before watching yours as i didn't want any spoilers. So please to have met both Johns.
Amazing event, first time I've done anything like this but it completely blew away whatever expectations I had. Good work getting the vid out so quickly too Sean 😁
@@LiftHillsandThrills I'll never let it be said you don't work hard 🥲I think I was the last person out of the station at gone 10pm and even then I wasn't actually "asked" to leave. Staff were all incredible.
Very cool insight to the event. So much more than I'd ever imagined! As much as I love Nemmy, can't wait to hear what the possible alternative was. Hopefully you'll be allowed to spill the beans at some point. Great content again. Just love your channel ❤️
Great video of a great event. The whole event really did feel special and like you say with the fast tracks included it does make it good value for money. Maybe for future events they could offer a with or without fast track option to make it more affordable for people. Oh and yes, like you pinned comment says, just imagine a Curse event 😱 Take my money 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha it would be great and yeah that’s the only niggle. Should be an option for an on park VIP experience (pass) or a bundle merch alternative for non park visitors
I'm glad that they are looking into the rattle but it isn't just nemesis reborn that's got a rattle, its most of the newer b&ms mandrill mayhem apparently pipeline does, iron menace looks like it does and theres lots of others, so it is a problem across all of the newer b&ms that i hope they can figure it out and fix it soon.
I hope they do one of these events this year or maybe a Curse at Alton Manor Behind the Scenes Tour which would be awsome and i would definatley be looking to attend!
That’s so good to hear! Even yesterday walking around park speaking to roaming actors / staff. It’s never EVER been like that before in all the years I’ve been doing it’s just a really great thing and I’m glad you guys also feel that too!
That looks really cool! They probably should’ve included a lift hill walk of Nemmy as well just because of the high price but it looks good overall! what gas track did it include? Walking on the brake run of an invert… already done it 😂 I got evaced from inferno at the start of the brake run so had to walk the whole way down it!
Gold fast track (video coming shortly) and the lady who won the lift hill walk… I’m so bloody jealous 😂 BUT, if they’re giving it away as a prize then they’re open to the idea of having people up there so maybe just maybe it may be one of the ViP experiences one day
What a great event! I don’t think we have these types of events in the USA. I live about an hour from 3 parks…Hershey Park, Dorney Park and Six Flags Great Adventure. I’ll do some research but I’ve never heard of events like this happening at those parks near me. You’re so lucky! Very cool!
I personally wouldn't pay for it, it's not a ride I'd be interested in looking around as there's very little in the way of theming outside of the station which I can see for free during a visit to the park. I'd definitely be more interested in dark ride tours etc Nemesis has a special place in my heart and as I'd never seen the old version of the ride in any BTS tour then I had to jump on this!
Without giving too much away they were looking at alternatives with Nemmy set to leave at one point altogether so they show you the alternative ride that was going to go in the pit... can't lie.. it was very cool haha
@@LiftHillsandThrills I was going to get a ticket but it was the date that mattered as I live 4 hours away and I normally stay overnight when I go to Alton but now can say I know what the maintenance shed looks like inside..
Like you said if a lift hill walk was in the price etc then yeah. All 3 of them was there opeing day, all clubs in the past have done talks with them etc. it’s like £120 for a behind the scenes tour really. They done well tho buy looks
The fast pass definitely helped during an insanely busy day but it’s sold out and sold out again in June. I think Towers know higher pricing isn’t an issue when there’s always a demand there but I definitely didn’t feel as though I’d overpaid so I think that speaks volumes
Can't we get some kind of ERT with the train running full Nylon wheels and a sped up lift hill. I hate how extreme rides get nerfed for the GP, when I wasn't an enthusiast I didn't want to ride it at all, so I didn't need it nerfing for my sake. But now I am an enthusiast I want it as extreme as possible as AT is severely lacking any properly extreme rides, they may aswell make nemmy as serious as possible when all the GP still have a ton of other options
Looks great! But if you start off at the hotel and go in after the park has closed why do you need a valid theme park ticket to get entry to the event ? I don’t have a merlin pass so would just want to come to this, but not paying for a ticket on too
@@cheeseburgervlogs My pleasure and I understand that completely, there should be an on park perk (fast pass) or an alternative of a merch bundle or similar for those who just want to do the event. Keep the cost the same but spread the value.
@LiftHillsandThrills When the timestamp is posted it appears at the bottom left corner of the screen. It's a red painted metal plate that's bolted to the seat bracket for the left hand of row 7.
I knew the rattle was due to sand.. I said that from the start😭 there is literally nothing to be absorbed anymore it just vibrates it back… they need to hire me ;)
@@LiftHillsandThrills actually….. In all honesty it’s not rough it adds to the theme! Just blast really loud music and nobody will ever know.. it’s like the beast is ripping you up before throwing you into its stomach.. ;)
Why the hell was that guy spending so long describing how a screen with half the pixels of a 15 year old TV, works. It was like he was trying to describe a monitor to a toddler group
These Alton Towers events are just getting better and better... now imagine a Curse At Alton Manor one.... !!
Now that would be amazing
@@LJW-PA1X It would sell over and over and over again
I literally had that thought on Curse yesterday. I would hand over money so damn fast 😂
@@ScaredyCatRidesRides It's the one everyone wants!
Would be all over a behind the scenes of curse
Thank you for bringing us along with you! I think what set this apart from other tours was that each person you encountered was an expert in their own field; gives a much more personal feel to the event. Looks like an incredible way to spend an evening, certainly not one you'll forget!
Agreed, there was a LOT of staff on hand to help everyone and you’re getting first hand knowledge instead of facts and figures rolled off

Thank you! It would have been much sooner but getting signal around Alton is damn near impossible for me 😂

@@caffeinesplash They were still all smiling, all happy even so late at night. That’s mad to me
What an awesome event! You may not have worn official merch, but your colour coordination was on point at least! 👌
I tried haha
Very cool insight to the event. So much more than I'd ever imagined! As much as I love Nemmy, can't wait to hear what the possible alternative was. Hopefully you'll be allowed to spill the beans at some point. Great content again. Just love your channel ❤️
Thanks Mark and I can’t really describe it as such but it took up more area than just the valley it’s in now, over paths etc it was quite special!
Another great video. What an amazing experience. Thanks for taking us along🤗
My pleasure, happy to!
Thank you for taking us along. Always loved nemesis so this was fascinating to watch x
My pleasure
Looks like a great experience, thanks for bringing us along. Alton on the up!
My pleasure
I’m more excited you met Lance Hutch, his No Limits content is incredible 👌🏻👌🏻
Haha we’re meant be going on holiday sometime this year! 🍻
@@LiftHillsandThrills awesome
it was such a great event, the stuff we learnt was so interesting, and who else thinks John Wardley should be a stand up comedian?🤣
His comedic timing is great 😂 and seeing all of the stuff on screen that will never be shown again outside of the event was VERY cool
rewatching just for my apperances ngl
😂😂 insert Once Upon a Time in Hollywood gif of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at himself on TV
This event looked incredible😍. I hope they do another one soon 😁
They have one in June but I believe that one’s sold out too!
@@LiftHillsandThrills okay thanks for letting me know. I will have to keep an eye out for others to come 🙂
I was at Alton Towers yesterday shame didn’t see you lol 😂 good event 🎉❤
Very good!
Fantastic video, really informative and glad you had a great experience
Tried to get snippets without TOO many spoilers
Great video Shaun, staff in your video were awesome, especially the engineer with the wheels. Looked like a great event.
Engineer was the happiest person I’ve ever seen on park! 😂
@@LiftHillsandThrills LOL
Nice one Sean 👏
Cheers mate

Awesome video sean
Thanks!
I’m going in June and my excitement shot up after seeing this!! Do you keep the little card in your landyarx 👀
You do!
@@LiftHillsandThrills ahhhh yayy!!
That looked incredibly special mate
It was good and surprisingly when we had the tour it was intimate, they split everyone up quite well
Looks amazing x
It really was!
Those of us who work at AT, also feel part of a big family.
That’s so good to hear! Even yesterday walking around park speaking to roaming actors / staff. It’s never EVER been like that before in all the years I’ve been doing it’s just a really great thing and I’m glad you guys also feel that too!
So pleased you had an awesome time!
Hope you had a good time
Loved it!
Ok, now this is how you do a vip event.
Hopefully a Curse one is on the way soon 😊
It was mentioned a lot yesterday. It’s been looked into I’ll say that much!
That looks really cool! They probably should’ve included a lift hill walk of Nemmy as well just because of the high price but it looks good overall! what gas track did it include?

Wow, this is the real VIP treatment
This felt the closest to any BPB event... they're getting there for sure, superb event
Oddly, the one thing they DIDN't replace were the trains. Still the original ones!
Yup
VIP your a very important person Sean
😀
What a great event! I don’t think we have these types of events in the USA. I live about an hour from 3 parks…Hershey Park, Dorney Park and Six Flags Great Adventure. I’ll do some research but I’ve never heard of events like this happening at those parks near me. You’re so lucky! Very cool!
Thanks for checking it out Tony!
Look at the VIP Sunrise Tour at Cedar Point
I’ll check it out. Thank you!
@@TonyOneto We have a video of it 😅
Ok, cool! I’ll check it out.
I recognise that balloon 👀😂
👀
This looked like a good event. Big question, will we see the red water return on project ocean?
Red water was mentioned with all the piping etc and new installation. Staff seem hopeful so.. looks like we’ll wait and see!
I wish I went now, looks very cool! Would you consider doing the vampire one?
I personally wouldn't pay for it, it's not a ride I'd be interested in looking around as there's very little in the way of theming outside of the station which I can see for free during a visit to the park.

When was this filmed
Yesterday
I would’ve loved to do this.Are you allowed to explain Further about what could’ve happened to nemmy or will we learn in time? Amazing video anyway
Without giving too much away they were looking at alternatives with Nemmy set to leave at one point altogether so they show you the alternative ride that was going to go in the pit... can't lie.. it was very cool haha
❤🎉
❤️
It was weird watching this and hearing my friends voice in the background. He said rode oblivion with you
He did indeed!
@@LiftHillsandThrills he's great, he got me over my lifelong fear of air time in half a day
I wish i was there
Hopefully the video helps a little for those who couldn’t get a ticket
@@LiftHillsandThrills I was going to get a ticket but it was the date that mattered as I live 4 hours away and I normally stay overnight when I go to Alton but now can say I know what the maintenance shed looks like inside..
Cool ❤
😃
Like you said if a lift hill walk was in the price etc then yeah. All 3 of them was there opeing day, all clubs in the past have done talks with them etc. it’s like £120 for a behind the scenes tour really. They done well tho buy looks

I hate how extreme rides get nerfed for the GP, when I wasn't an enthusiast I didn't want to ride it at all, so I didn't need it nerfing for my sake. But now I am an enthusiast I want it as extreme as possible as AT is severely lacking any properly extreme rides, they may aswell make nemmy as serious as possible when all the GP still have a ton of other options
You’d be niching the ride down and deterring the majority of GP from riding it. Were a minority not a priority
Looks great! But if you start off at the hotel and go in after the park has closed why do you need a valid theme park ticket to get entry to the event ? I don’t have a merlin pass so would just want to come to this, but not paying for a ticket on too
You need a valid theme park ticket to make use of the gold fast pass that's included in the ticket price
@@LiftHillsandThrills Rather not get the pass tbh and make it cheaper. Shame, great video ! Cheers for the coverage
@@cheeseburgervlogs My pleasure and I understand that completely, there should be an on park perk (fast pass) or an alternative of a merch bundle or similar for those who just want to do the event. Keep the cost the same but spread the value.
@@LiftHillsandThrills Now that’s a clever idea! I’d be down for that
I feel lucky that I get to watch this for free 👀
Who said It's free? I've just sent you a subscription fee via Paypal ;)
Do you think Hyperia have something like this when it opens
Possibly! Although I'd think it would be more of a lift hill climb as opposed to a tour I reckon
Lift hill climb yes
Is this event on again to book ❤
There’s one in June but it’s sold out I believe
As much as i believe Hyperia will be the better ride, I am more excited for Nemesis Reborn. What a masterpiece of a coaster
Oh absolutely :)
Hey lifts hills and thills I don't want nemesis reborn to close not had a chance to ride yet
What’s told you it’s going to close? It’s fine
Another channel did
@@Laura-lc5ng Well they're wrong haha
18:22 Whats the red thing on the back of row 7 seat 4?
Are you sure it’s that time stamp? I can only see seats 😂

@@bjoe385 and I still don’t know 😂

They're still not 100% on that because one train is doing it more than the other so if the supports were solely at fault it would affect both trains
@@LiftHillsandThrills damn it!! They should just get track without sand 😫

when i went to book this they sold out 😭
These went QUICK
Did you see a mate of mine he has a read beard good guy
Can’t say that I did

I. Am. So. Jealous
It was a great event!
120 sounds too much for this
I don’t feel as though I overpaid the gold fast pass alone is worth £75 and it was a busy day on park yesterday so that helped a LOT
Yeah I’d say defo worth it. You got to thing AT will have to pay extra for staff costs , energy , etc. they got to make something too
