- Part of the behind the scenes tour at Alton Towers in 2006. Many thanks to the two hosts Wayne and the extremely knowledgeable engineer, who speaks mostly throughout (apologies for forgetting the name). Note the now missing Corkscrew.

Really wish Towers would offer more of these tours!!
I'd pay, would love to have a tour around the park
To my knowledge they started in late 2005 and i remember last hearing about one in 2008 (may have been some since though). There havn't been too many of them and the ones i've heard of lately are very sporadic ones on one ride only or house and garden tours. Try emailing Alton Towers as they may be able to provide more info for you : )
Corkscrew in the background. 😪
It's almost surreal seeing Corkscrew again this video. But otherwise, t'is good to see B-T-S Rita!
My pleasure guys. That engineer was brilliant i must say!
Brilliant, thank you for uploading this! It was very interesting to hear what the engineer had to say.
Ah, Rita... My #1 coaster in the entire UK!
7:49 Lee from TPW
+prague.game.studio Yeah!
Ray Baseley yes

Lmfao the beginning captions are hilarious!!!
This is amazing, when do they do these tours? I worked at camelot theme park for a season doing rides op, and as good of a job as it was, we didn't get taught anything about how the rides work, only how to operate them. All the rides there too, are simple push the button to start and let the ride do its own thing, where as it is interesting to see how these big attractions are operated by computers and so many sensors.
Camelot theme park isn’t a Merlin entertainments park and it’s now abandoned.
“Relatively maintenance free” 😂 yeah right
I cant believe its been 5 years since corkscrew left the park :(
omg sorry you're right ! xD I thought it was 2012 but i looked it up =O omg its been ages! ='(
I believe you were thinking of The black hole cause Smiler was made in 2013...
Great Vid
yep.... All thats left is the corkscrew section :(
Abbie Cookiez Yes at the park entrance.
How old the video quality is looking and it was only 2006
Yeah, apologies for that. There was a problem uploading this particular one back in the day and although the original video quality is not up to todays standards anyway this one didn't upload properly so it's a bit crapper than the other ones I have from the same period. I should probably try uploading it again one day in better quality if I get some spare time.
Rip corcscrew
I went on stealth again today stealth is better
Mr MD-80 Have you ever been on Rita?
Not by a long shot. Rita's a lot better than Stealth. Stealth loses it after the launch. Rita has much more of a kick to it, more sustained speed and more airtime. Stealth is good but overrated.
hasn't it been 3?? =P
