It was a real please to bump into Shawn and Charlotte yesterday, they seem like very lovely people and were happy to stop to say hello to their fans. Keep up all the great VLOGs to share your genuine passion and excitement for ATR. :)
Absoloutely brilliant theming for it, the atmosphere in the queue, the new audio, the live actors! It’s so good to see, great vlog Shawn and Charlotte!
Perfect vlog to wake up too! ...Afraid to say I couldn't wait n I've already watched a full pov of The Curse Of Alton Monor. Looks terrific and creepy. The perspective through the trees to The Monor was stunning. Cant wait to visit 😍
I'm so happy with what they've done, and all the projects Merlin are doing this season. This is a huge step up for them, and it's great to see the Haunted House back to its glory!
Maybe the new ride might be a planet of the apes theme.. judging by all the monkeys in the merch shop hahaha love the new vlog as always! Biggest fan here ❤❤
Seems the ministry of joy are testing how much LED lights our eyes can handle and how much clashing 80s music right next to each other our ears can take. They removed enterprise for twistatron. Now let's demolish wicker Man for the firework festival teacups rides
@meow900 Planning applications submitted and ordered another waltzer, a Miami ride, a little kiddies Disney train that goes round in circles forever, a funhouse, a wooden mini Ferris wheel, a bumper cars track and a centrifuge. The playlist will be Firework, The Final Countdown, Never Gonna Give You Up and You Spin Me Round
Hold it right there! The Wicker Man’s not going anywhere! I want to see Alton Towers extend Gloomy Wood, they must add new attractions including a Cluedo-themed dark ride.
I just wanna say I've been watching your videos for a long time and I want to give props to Charlotte for the genuine effort and enthusiasm that she has developed to the part where she's becoming as natural and good at doing this as Shawn who has been an absolute tv-quality presenter for so many years. Really gr8 duo, shes really grown into this now, and the best decision you ever made to focus on you just you two, as it really has fleshed out Charlotte's talent for this and it's been lovely to see.
I absolutely love the new theming on The curse at Alton Manor. The atmosphere, the costumes, the RC baby carriage. I love how they used the Crypt as the entrance to the ride. Fantastic stuff, I can only hope they keep some of the actors around the queueline moving forward! Can't wait to visit the park again soon. Great vlog as always both! 😃 🎢 👻
Been waiting for this one! Agree that the retro squad needs to go now. Seems the park is pumping lots of investment into new projects and even things such as the lighting so hopefully we will see more improvements coming soon. Great to see you loved the curse at Alton manor! Thanks for the informative vlog yet again guys!!
I used to go to Alton Towers as a kid at least twice a year with my family in the 80s and early 90s. Lots of memories of rides opening and things like the monorail being built, I was obsessed with Alton Towers as a kid! Last time I was there was in 1998 when Oblivion opened, as I then moved out and it's a bit of a pain to get to from London when you don't have a car, I've been meaning to do a hotel stay one year with my daughter for years but haven't got round to it. However watching this video make me just book a train ticket, taxi and park ticket for this Wednesday so I'm coming to Alton Towers on my own for one day, lets see how much has changed in 25 years!
Absolutely stunning theming from the Ride, the SFX and VFX are incredible. This ride definitely didn't disappoint. If this is the level Alton towers is getting to on theming then this park definitely has an Amazing future it really makes you think what Project Horizon is gonna look like
I experience the curse at Alton manor today and OMG it is amazing the amount the look at and the atmosphere in there is incredible. The two John’s have done a fantastic job in just the space of 8 months and I am so glad the weird tunnel thing is just amazing. Overall I will give it a 8/10 if they filled the dead spots it would be a 10/10
We went today and rode the Alton Manor, we were massively underwhelmed, though we aren't avid theme park fans and did not anticipate the ride, or even realise it had such an uplift. Watching your enthusiasm for the ride and theming has made me wonder if we took it for granted really and didn'ty take the time to appreciate the effort into it.
Surprised you didn't hear it, but one of the new announcements on the approach to the waterfalls on the CRR says "time to face those waterfalls head on!". Why would they put that there if the waterfalls weren't returning? I think they'll return in the summer once the weather gets warmer!
My wife and son grabbed a photo with you just as you got off Curse. Thanks, both of you. You always make time for fans and are especially polite and friendly.
Network engineer here, I was there on Saturday and noticed that they have installed new WiFi access points all over the park, there are tons of them all over the place, they are high quality devices rated for very high capacity traffic. Seems like they are preparing for public Wi-Fi in the park. This will have been a massive investment for the park, as the cabling and work needed for these devices is expensive and time consuming. Great to see!
This has been my most anticipated vlog! Seeing you two back at Alton brings a smile to my face, looks like it was a fantastic day! The Curse at Alton Manor looks BRILLIANT! I'm amazed as to how well they transformed the space in such a short time.
Enjoyed our visit yesterday and managed 4 rides on Curse. Every ride I saw something new and I think it’s going to take a lot of re rides to take it all in. Music and audio in there is awesome though. Like I said park looks a little tired in places, smiler in particular looked dirty. Retrosquad absolutely has to go now. Can’t wait to get in and see Emily again on my next visit!
My sister and her friend were so happy to get a photo with you at the curse of the manor also was great seeing you and being the one taking the photo for my sister
I’ve said to for the past 3 years now, but I’d love for Alton to do 3/4 back to back seasons of a new flat ride each year, proper built in with tons of theming. I think it could work out quite well for them.
I got excited just watching the build up. I hope I get to experience it soon. And I met you’s at Alton Tower’s last year and my niece had just missed out on missing you’s by about 30 second’s. She couldn’t believe that I met you’s and she didn’t. 😂😂 But it was a pleasure meeting you’s and I love your channel.
Love Hex! Always so surprised Disney have never put a couple of Mad House rides somewhere next to each other for a high capacity family ride. I think it would be fab for Encanto or Mary Poppins with the Topsey Turvey song
Hello Shawn, great video excited to go and see this ride in action, I know that you record your coaster credits on excel, and so do I, I would love for you to do a series of videos/live streams showing us the list of credits and each unique story for every coaster/park on the list! This would be awesome so we could find out all of your trips and first visits to parks and so on... Thankyou!
When I was at Alton Towers I didn’t notice the new speakers or anything else apart from the new flooring but I mostly noticed the Phalanx dude guarding both of them and apparently I found out that the pre show was spotted playing on the tv
Hey Shaun and Charlotte, just wanted to say was amazing meeting you today thanks for taking the time to have a photo with us , thanks for all the vlogs ❤. Hope to see you at Cadbury world soon . 😊
Was lovely to see you to. , Found out today , reconstruction of new changes if all goes to plan to to start at Cadbury world after the summer, but at moment no changes have been made by merlin at moment . Thought would keep you in the loop. 😊
Solid vlog guys, soooo glad it's met if not exceeded everyone's expectations! I'll get on it next week....round of applause to Mr Wardley and the team at MMM. 👏
The beauty, immersion and quality of Curse at Alton Manor and then, moments later in the vlog - Retro Squad. Alton Towers really is a crazy, inconsistent hotch-potch at the moment, isn't it...! Still - fingers crossed for the future under new leadership!
Wow 🤩 It’s great to see that Alton Towers have kept the original spookiness formal glory theming from Duel with additional elements features throughout including the audio that enhances the spooky eery atmospheric vibe experiences, Alton Towers have gone way above beyond with their impressive major projects working progress, I’m really excited but confused right now with mixed information with the new attraction The curse, some people are saying it’s family friendly others are saying it’s the ride just for adult with devil evil content entertainment hmm 🤔 if you can Shawn please can you clarify this, I trust you as your a theme park enthusiast with so much knowledge and experience cheers 🥂 Shawn great vlog as always
Looking forward to trying the Curse at Alton Manor at some point. Totally agree about the fairground rides: time to go. Can’t wait for the full merch tour - always a highlight!
When I was at the front waiting to go in one of the team said there’s still a few more special effects to go in that didn’t get completed in time so I’m sure this great attraction will only get better!
Great video as usual. I haven’t watched your channel for just over a year due to being pregnant and having a baby. The thought of rides made me feel very sick! Luckily I’m back into thinking about going to theme parks again this year and this is a great vlog. Fab updates, The Curse at Alton Manor looks great. Can’t wait to try it.
I’ll be shocked if they continue the Retrosquad next year. Also Alton Manor is sounding great from what I’ve heard, so now I really can’t wait until I get to try it 👀
Amazing ride! Great to meet you again in the shop/exit area yesterday! The full size talking creepy Emily doll is my favourite part! It reminds me of the Megan film 😂😂
I love that not only is the Flume Duck is back to scare a new generation of guests (though could be placed in a new location on the ride IMO) but according to the gravestones outside, his new canon name is Uncle Duck...huh, go figure 😂😂😂
You hear the new river rapid audio says “prepare for water falls” the app mentions waterfalls on the description as well. Still presume they’re coming back.
Omg the queue line, Took me right back to 1992. HH opened on my first trip to Alton towers when I was little I remember reading all the grave stones with my bros! wild to see the full queue line open again. So sad to miss the opening day but my girl friend was on call at the hospital, we are looking forward to going together soon!
I've not heard of new divisional director Bianca before, but from what I'm seeing in the park there's definitely some changes going on. New management is maybe just the shot in the arm Alton Towers needs.
Hello There, a great Video and I totally agree they need to get rid of the temporary flat rides and install some permanent high quality ones as oon as possibly, hopefully with the new management in place they'll be able to try and implement some new changes etc. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Cheers Peter :)
So I'm from America and thoroughly love this channel. All I can say is, this attraction sounds beautifully terrifying, and you all know better than I do with this attraction's history. Still, I would love to visit Alton Towers one day.
Really exciting to see the restoration and evolution of Gloomy Wood and The Haunted House/Alton Manor - and I don’t think Alton or Merlin care a bit what we think, but we aren’t going back until at least 2025 when the new indoor rollercoaster opens and they lose the fairground rides. Alton Towers, you’re a fabulous park that has given me so many awesome memories so please, GET IT SORTED or at least communicate your plans! Wonderful vee-log as always xx
Oh I can’t wait for this!!!! Looks so good! Seen a POV on TH-cam somewhere already :( but very much looking forward to your review! Great vlog as always theme park worldwide keep it up!!
I can’t wait to stand on the new viewing platform and even stepping back in Nemesis: Sub-Terra (if it does come back) I really like how they cleaned it up and put in some new content I wonder if it does return because it’s been 21 days since the season started and I’ve not seen any announcement about the return but it’s possible
I genuinely think they could have included the retro squad rides and integrated it properly into theming of the park. They could have had a new section of the park that they made look old and rundown, but with old looking neon signs and 80s colours and actually put up a few of the temp rides with a bit of faux rusting and weather damage and themed it around an abandoned fairground semi reclaimed by nature, sort of similar to the dark forest
I absolutely loved The Curse At Alton Manor amazing themeing! , me and my mum went on it and I loved it, it was quite fast aswell and while I was in the queue I spotted Shawn and Charlotte but I was a bit to far away to talk to them but i'm just happy I got to see them :)
I love the retro squad as I’m not a massive fan of the big rides such as oblivion or the smiler 😂 loved watching this video and can’t wait to visit in July
Sounds like alton towers is going strength to strength (apart from retro squad but hopefully resolved next year and a bit of clean) alton towers looks like it has a bigger and brighter future.
now it is time for the Alton towers season for March 2023!! And Curse at alton manor looks really good with the pre-show and everything about it is so lit! i love alton towers and the way they do events ehh halloween they need to add more mazes but for other events at alton towers they do a good job and cant wait to see what TPW got in store for 2023!!
Thank you for watching! Check out our full review of The Curse at Alton Manor here ➡️ th-cam.com/video/3w5rS3e8yPs/w-d-xo.html
When is nemesis due to come back?
Shaun I remember when u work there lad

Next year smiler is going to be a wacky worm!
@@procrastination_productions Im so excited!

Wow Alton manor is mind blowing such a great attraction!!!!!!🎉
It’s a brilliant transformation, we loved it!
It was amazing meeting you two at Alton towers yesterday, it was the best day ever! I was really impressed with The Cures At Alton Manor.
Great to see you!
The excitement in your voice as you were heading to the ride made me smile 🙂
I absolutely love the new theming on The curse at Alton Manor. The atmosphere, the costumes, the RC baby carriage. I love how they used the Crypt as the entrance to the ride.

They’ve done a brilliant job!
What’s also great, is how the costumes are shared by everyone including the retail staff. It’s a full immersive experience!
So nice that you met John Wardley as well! And the Flume duck is in there!
He’s such a fantastic guy!
Been waiting for this one! Agree that the retro squad needs to go now.

That theme tune from Congo Rapids is the thing I most remember when I first visited Alton Towers all these years ago. Nice to see it's been updated.
Been waiting all day for this! Great video Shawn. Looking good Charlotte!😉😜😎
Saturday was a amazing day the atmosphere was fantastic and getting to meet u was brilliant thank u
Haha the multiple cheers were some of us cheering whenever they opened the ride doors and when they closed them we all went "ohhhh". Great atmosphere!
54:13 the phalanx guy reminds me so much of when oblivion was being constructed with the guy standing outside 😆
I’ve said to for the past 3 years now, but I’d love for Alton to do 3/4 back to back seasons of a new flat ride each year, proper built in with tons of theming. I think it could work out quite well for them.
THIS IS THE REVIEW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! Cannot wait to see how you rate The Curse at Alton Manor!!!!!
Oh dear !!! That Twistaphon ride will really leave you feeling unwell !!! You can count me out !! Lol
im so excited for the start of the next season that im gonna binge some vlogs in prep! cant wait for your 2024 vlog!
The Curse is a brilliant addition to the park. Any ride that catches you and means you want to re-ride it over and over again is a job well done.
It really is!
Wow I love the queue and audio. Really adds to the experience from the looks of it
I’ve been once before last Easter and I’m going again this Easter I can’t wait to ride the smiler again
I got excited just watching the build up. I hope I get to experience it soon. And I met you’s at Alton Tower’s last year and my niece had just missed out on missing you’s by about 30 second’s.

Met you this morning in the Curse of Alton Manor queue! Was great to meet you and thanks for the photo :))
Great to see you
Love Hex! Always so surprised Disney have never put a couple of Mad House rides somewhere next to each other for a high capacity family ride.
I think it would be fab for Encanto or Mary Poppins with the Topsey Turvey song
Hex really is amazing
i think a Doctor Strange themed madhouse would also be very cool
It's the first time I've ever seen Duel busy 🤣🤣 used to like it being a walk on.
Good to see everyone at the park yesterday, it was so fun. 👍
It was a fantastic day!
That queue line with the fog machines looks amazing
Hello Shawn, great video excited to go and see this ride in action, I know that you record your coaster credits on excel, and so do I, I would love for you to do a series of videos/live streams showing us the list of credits and each unique story for every coaster/park on the list!

The best thing is the excitement will all happen again next year and every one will be running down to Nemesis again!!
We can’t wait!
Thank you for not including spoilers in this vlog about the curse of alton manor..always the professional..❤
Thank you for watching!
So so happy! This retheme has got go be one of the best I’ve seen in the UK! Can’t wait to experience this!

I haven't been on it yet, but i cant wait to do so it looks so good, it looks like a cross between phantom manor and the haunting
Solid vlog guys, soooo glad it's met if not exceeded everyone's expectations! I'll get on it next week....round of applause to Mr Wardley and the team at MMM. 👏
Thank you!
Looks amazing! I was lucky enough to see you queueing for the park entrance!
Hope you enjoyed your day
I love that there's a broken window on the house.
The beauty, immersion and quality of Curse at Alton Manor and then, moments later in the vlog - Retro Squad. Alton Towers really is a crazy, inconsistent hotch-potch at the moment, isn't it...! Still - fingers crossed for the future under new leadership!
Let’s hope so!
Wow 🤩 It’s great to see that Alton Towers have kept the original spookiness formal glory theming from Duel with additional elements features throughout including the audio that enhances the spooky eery atmospheric vibe experiences, Alton Towers have gone way above beyond with their impressive major projects working progress, I’m really excited but confused right now with mixed information with the new attraction The curse, some people are saying it’s family friendly others are saying it’s the ride just for adult with devil evil content entertainment hmm 🤔 if you can Shawn please can you clarify this, I trust you as your a theme park enthusiast with so much knowledge and experience cheers 🥂 Shawn great vlog as always
Looking forward to trying the Curse at Alton Manor at some point. Totally agree about the fairground rides: time to go.
Can’t wait for the full merch tour - always a highlight!
It’s good to have you back and can’t wait till I go aswell have a good rest of your day
Love the quick update! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for keeping it spolier free!
Thanks for watching!
When I was at the front waiting to go in one of the team said there’s still a few more special effects to go in that didn’t get completed in time so I’m sure this great attraction will only get better!
Definitely!
It was great to meet you both on Saturday, my son had his picture taken with you, he is a huge fan of your channel and it made his day.
Great to see you!
Great video as usual. I haven’t watched your channel for just over a year due to being pregnant and having a baby. The thought of rides made me feel very sick! Luckily I’m back into thinking about going to theme parks again this year and this is a great vlog. Fab updates, The Curse at Alton Manor looks great. Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for watching. Hopefully you’ll be back in the parks soon!
I can't lie every time I hear that iconic line (good morning and welcome to ect) I get chills
Love it!
I’ll be shocked if they continue the Retrosquad next year. Also Alton Manor is sounding great from what I’ve heard, so now I really can’t wait until I get to try it 👀
They’ve done a brilliant job!
What a fantastic day. Always good to get to the park. Especially for an occasion like this. So good to see everybody. Hope you both had a great day! 😀
We had a great day!
Amazing ride! Great to meet you again in the shop/exit area yesterday! The full size talking creepy Emily doll is my favourite part! It reminds me of the Megan film 😂😂
Amazing vlog like always! i loved meeting you yesterday and having a photo it made my day! sounds like you had a great day too!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. I haven't been to Alton Towers for ages. Used to go a lot in the 1990s.
I love that not only is the Flume Duck is back to scare a new generation of guests (though could be placed in a new location on the ride IMO) but according to the gravestones outside, his new canon name is Uncle Duck...huh, go figure 😂😂😂
Love the details!
You hear the new river rapid audio says “prepare for water falls” the app mentions waterfalls on the description as well. Still presume they’re coming back.
Great to see!
Such a great day!! I agree it was so nice to see gloomy wood so popular and a lot of effort going into the curse at Alton manor!
It was brilliant!
I'm sorry but "tossed from a horse, she's dead of course." Is hilarious 😂😂😂
Omg the queue line, Took me right back to 1992. HH opened on my first trip to Alton towers when I was little I remember reading all the grave stones with my bros! wild to see the full queue line open again. So sad to miss the opening day but my girl friend was on call at the hospital, we are looking forward to going together soon!

Hi , I saw you when I was at Alton Towers outside of the curse at Alton Manor with my friend Josh you made mine and his day ❤ 😊

your videos are amazing keep making videos more like this I miss nemesis
Really exciting to see the restoration and evolution of Gloomy Wood and The Haunted House/Alton Manor - and I don’t think Alton or Merlin care a bit what we think, but we aren’t going back until at least 2025 when the new indoor rollercoaster opens and they lose the fairground rides. Alton Towers, you’re a fabulous park that has given me so many awesome memories so please, GET IT SORTED or at least communicate your plans!
Wonderful vee-log as always xx
Gonna miss the *DON’T TOUCH YOUR BLASTER UNTIL THE SAFETY BAR IS LOWERED* and the *YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH*
"You might be thinking - WAYYYYYY!" 😅4:00
Oh I can’t wait for this!!!! Looks so good! Seen a POV on TH-cam somewhere already :( but very much looking forward to your review! Great vlog as always theme park worldwide keep it up!!
I can’t wait to stand on the new viewing platform and even stepping back in Nemesis: Sub-Terra (if it does come back) I really like how they cleaned it up and put in some new content I wonder if it does return because it’s been 21 days since the season started and I’ve not seen any announcement about the return but it’s possible
The car at the Congo River Rapids looks like a Land Rover Discovery
I genuinely think they could have included the retro squad rides and integrated it properly into theming of the park. They could have had a new section of the park that they made look old and rundown, but with old looking neon signs and 80s colours and actually put up a few of the temp rides with a bit of faux rusting and weather damage and themed it around an abandoned fairground semi reclaimed by nature, sort of similar to the dark forest
Jesus christ, next year they’ll announce there nemesis replacement is a new retro themed temporaray flat ride area!!
I absolutely loved The Curse At Alton Manor amazing themeing! , me and my mum went on it and I loved it, it was quite fast aswell and while I was in the queue I spotted Shawn and Charlotte but I was a bit to far away to talk to them but i'm just happy I got to see them :)
I love the retro squad as I’m not a massive fan of the big rides such as oblivion or the smiler 😂 loved watching this video and can’t wait to visit in July
It was a brilliant day and got to meet you for the first time thank you for the pic
Great to see you!
Hi Shawn, Charlotte, thank you both for a brilliant vlog, all looks great, looking forward to visiting this week
Thank you!
Sounds like alton towers is going strength to strength (apart from retro squad but hopefully resolved next year and a bit of clean) alton towers looks like it has a bigger and brighter future.
Let’s hope so!
Seeing as there's no spoilers here, all I will say is it's perfect.
now it is time for the Alton towers season for March 2023!! And Curse at alton manor looks really good with the pre-show and everything about it is so lit! i love alton towers and the way they do events ehh halloween they need to add more mazes but for other events at alton towers they do a good job and cant wait to see what TPW got in store for 2023!!
Thank you for watching!
I'm there on Friday - a postponed Services Day visit!
