Such a shame they do not try a restore it

i forgot how popular this coaster was. you literally couldn't go a day in 2013 without being DROWNED in advertising😭

Nemesis is my favourite coaster and I can't wait to get back on it at the end of the month. Even after riding Hyperia I feel Nemesis Reborn will remain at the top spot.

2:15 lol they counted down and rushed in without paying

I saw u today I was at the front of the queue

Me watching a video about a rollercoaster that I’ll know I won’t ride as I’ll bottle it when I get to the front of the queue 🤣😂

The queue goes on and on! I thought you never would get to the house!

is this the normal and disable express parking? ill be getting a ticket just wondering where it was... what happens if you pay but the car park is full? lol

I’ve only been to Alton Towers once and I thought it was a real shame that a historic property was in essence just a dumping ground for theme park stuff. It feels like an insult to history. Such a great tour of the place though. Just a shadow of itself with the decay being the haunted aspect. Thank you for uploading this! 😊

I’m glad I didn’t go on opening day tbf my first day this season was last Saturday but it I was there on opening day with everyone charging It Would’ve set my autism crazy and I’d have a massively over sensitized

brings back every memory that a video fottage can bring everything is like the way it was when i went there back in 1986 with school trip i was about 11/12 (born 13/09/74)

Really enjoyed watching, thank you!

such a huge shame they close the towers off for scare mazes. yeah im sure the halloween event is amazing but id rather be able to look around the ruins

I wish more was known about the Talbot Hound, seeing the heraldry reminded me of their disappearance. All that said, this is a lovely walk through, and a view into the lives of some of my distant cousins. My ancestor Talbot added a T to the end of his name, and left the Irish Malahide Talbot’s in the 1600s, during the Cromwell Miseries. He became quite a prosperous farmer in Maryland colony, and was also a Quaker, interestingly enough. Thank you for the video!

Thank you for this fantastic video. How fascinating .❤

This is a fantastic video. Thank you, absolutely fascinating❤

Absolutely loving your videos. My husband and I both l adore Alton Towers and it’s the history of the place that really makes it so special. I can tell this has been a life long interest for you too! Can’t wait to see more.

If they can’t take care of it and make use of it the building should be compulsory purchased and made into a separate attraction.

Cuckoo Arbour is beautiful. Been around 5 times in the last 8 years. I love how unknown it is to thoosies, making it very untouched.

2:44 ayyy I see me!

The tunnels under Lordsbridge are almost certainly flood tunnels. In high flood the water pressure against the embankment will not build up instead flow through the tunnels. Three on Farley side, two on the Alton side.

I've only just discovered your channel. You've earned another subscriber. This was a very interesting video. I saw the chained oak when it was in better shape.

Interesting video. I've only been to Alton Towers and that was in the very late 70s, before the roller coasters and when the main attraction was the gardens. I also remember going to a planetarium. At that time you were free to explore the shell of the building but I can't remember how much was accessible.

I like that music from your video in background. Thanks Adam 3:51

Great video. Really enjoyed watching this. I used to live in Alton. I remember the 1 mile mark in Dimmingsdale being there somewhere around 2000 to 2002, and then one day, it just wasn't there anymore so likely stolen. With regard to the chained oak. I have also witnessed to destruction of this over the years. IMO AT have an obligation to take measures to preserve what remains. This should have been done years ago!

I used to live in Cheadle and always wondered this having explored the part near Chained oak and hearing that land in Cheadle once used to be owned by the estate. Another great video!

This is such a fabulous video! My Grandparents used to own the Towers and my Aunt and Uncle lived in the house above the Chained Oak. I even remember when George Noakes (the Towers Gardner and alleged son of the King!)) lived at Pink Lodge, when I was small child! It's absolutely heartbreaking what's happened to the Chained Oak - I had no idea! As soon as the new owners built Hex (in my Grandmother's old gift-shop) I had a horrible feeling this would happen. It was much better (for everyone) when it was a legend and only real enthusiasts and locals knew it's location on Barbary Gutter. Anyway, thanks for your amazing video - brings back so many memories from my childhood! Please do more of the other drives!

Really enjoyed this film Adam. Great to discover Counslow Lodge. How lucky are we that Ramblers saved that lodge... Still don't quite get the concept of the Pink Lodge... why would the Earls, who presumably own most of the land around Towers too, have a road cross his drive!? LOL Agree with you regarding the Chained Oak too. I first saw the oak in 1999, and it was truly forbodding, scary even (and I thought that the actual legend was that a beggar went into the Armoury during a dinner and begged for money).

Your videos are incredible. Thank you. There is so much more than I could have ever imagined, & you’re documenting it. Legend.

Another fantastic video. Do you know who owns the land? Particularly around dimmingsdale?

Thanks for a wonderful historical walk ☺️found this really interesting 🤩

Very gorgeous Adam thanks for watching

Hi Adam it’s Very interesting walk thanks Adam 17:43 🤣

Hi Adam, what a beautiful walk. Lovely views and interesting history all the way. Thank you for capturing this and sharing with us 😀

Walked this route a few times before, it's beautiful all year round 🥰

From the gate opposite the Pink Lodge into the Towes, the rest of Earls Drive, used to be the entrance for all Alton Towers visitors who came on buses, the wooden hut is where (my dad at weekends) the attendant would stop the bus's enter the coach and take the money off the driver, then let them drive in, following the drive between the House and the lake, past the Archway round the outside of the walls into the big courtyard up past the Grand Entrance (Hex) and parking attendants would direct the buses to reverse up to the walls. Cars would past the Earls drive to the next entrance through the big Iron gates. Great video

Absolutely fascinating iv always wondered about Alton canal .really enjoyed it and your information was fabulous 😊

My wife and I went there around this time (I might be mixing up,two trips here) got some of the last rides on Black Hole. I think it was left standing but not running for some years after. We also got to ride on Rita before it officially opened and they did a soft opening just before (I’m sure that’s right) I also went back for a last ride on corkscrew before that closed. Amazing to see it next to Rita.

Its so weird not seeing the smiler there

you wouldnt belive those flume boats would be sold off back then would ya:( man i miss it

My first trip to Alton towers was 2005. Watched my brother and dad go on all the coasters and it was so awesome.

I started working there in 2006 at 17, finishing in 2010. I worked at Picsolve that provided ride photos, on admissions in the ticket booths and in the food/shop outlets. I used to love Alton Towers as a child and that continued as an adult. However, it seems to have lost the magic I remembered feeling when younger. For me, the magic ended around 2014.

So many more high capacity rides back then.

I wish Tussauds still owned it 😢 the early 2000s were the best

This is always how I remember the park. Went in 1998 for the first time when oblivion had just opened. The red waterfalls !! Went last week and was trying to work out where corkscrew was in relation to rita, always forget it was there before corkscrew went and makes the odd layout make sense seeing CS still there.

The way this takes me back. I first went to towers when I was very young and seeing some of this managed to actually bring back things I thought I was too young to remember…
