It's things like this that really make you appreciate the park - awesome video!
Hi coaster bot!!!!
I Love Alton Towers!!!
@@W728EI4I3 same
Alton towers is trash and dead 💀
@@MilitaryEditz12345 I hate you
Rita, Spinball Whizzer & a few others: Am I a joke to you?
Thunder Looper, the Beast and Spinball Whizzer are missing too!
Ghostrider2171 they aren’t secret weapons, so there was really no reason for them to show them
@@justjack8909 i agree, although nor was corkscrew. A much more important ride historically though
Ghostrider2171 yeah it was the parks first and iconic roller coaster
@@Ghostrider-rq4ms its sonic spinball
I love how the bottom right shows the Alton Towers logo for those years
Oh Wow I Didn't Notice That You Got Me!!!
How isn’t ug land on there?
Fantastic animation and loving the use of old logos! However there’s a few errors with opening dates in this video. Mutiny Bay opened in 2008, not 2009. Cloud Cuckoo Land however opened in 2009, not 2010 and Dark Forest opened in 2010, not 2011!
Fair enough Shawn
Hi!
Theme Park Worldwide you just corrected the place that made them h-how
I was thinking that but wasn’t sure 😂 Would have also been nice to include some more of the prominent rides, HEX, Duel, Rita, Dungeons, Storybook Land?
Aha, I noticed the Dark Forest mistake too D:
0:22 well this video is already good enough
There is your duck boi yayayay!
@@PuffyPinkSpirit Yay Ducky!
@@PuffyPinkSpirit ducky!!!! Hi!!!
When galactica transformed into Galactica, I felt that.
😂
Yes You Did!!!
Yeah, that hit hard...
It was insane
Don't You Mean When Air Transformed Into Galactica
This is so well made.
I agree! It’s incredible!
Agreed
I Agree I Love It!
...and I used 12 of them for my dream to come true. I’m so passionate about coasters, and this... this is just IT. I treat the X-Sector as my home, the Smiler being my absolute passion of the park, and I treat myself as a member of the MOJ. I can’t believe how many years have gone by of my favourite park! And how many of the years I had to go to it for me to fall in love with it... I’m sure if I was 6 when I first went I’d fall in love immediately as you can remember things from a toddler. Anywho, Alton Towers is the best, the Smiler, my passion and life and everything is in ONE theme park! Thanks for all of the AMAZING memories, Alton Towers, I’ll be visiting at spring from Manchester!
This is so wholesome but I can relate!
Love from Wrexham 🏴
Alysha Hilton thanks :)
@@riddlerirl No problem =)
Are you calling a 6 year old a toddler?
Alfie Bocca no, that’s me I’m referring to anyways
Alright, the last time I’d visited Alton Towers was when I was around 12/14, my father took me and my brother, I remember the entire park just felt so nostalgic, so magical, so peaceful. I loved it. I’m now almost 20, and I recently went with some friends along with my brother again; and let me just say, I was beyond happy that the park still felt the same, the park was spotless, it was clean and was still kept up to date and maintained, after that amount of time, especially with the Smiler incident since I last went when I was a boy - I was expecting a mess, I expected the park to slowly be going down hill, but I was shocked and proved wrong; I had one HELL of a time with my friends, well done Alton Towers. I love you, I’ll be back. ❤️
I would *so* love to go back to Alton Towers some day. Still holding out for Parc Asterix also.
Happy 40th Birthday to Alton Towers Resort!
Being a past crew member I know their team doubtlessly provide guests with welcoming memorable experiences day in day out and today I hope they're celebrating 40 years of magic!
Well done :)
YAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy 40 years Alton towers
Must have been tough for the park when a black hole opened up in 1984.
True all those rides got sucked up
*wheezing*
schlooooooorp
Back then, the ride was considered *revolutionary*
Okay towers that’s the best edit I’ve ever seen in my life and I would watch that on loop for the rest of my life if I could, just amazing
This is oddly satisfying, that animation is so smooth! What a way to celebrate 40 years!
Happy 40 years! A lot has happened over the last few decades. Can't wait to see whats in store next from the Power Of The Towers!
Thanks alton towers for an amazing 40 years! Full of frights, thrill, fun, adventure and more!
My favourite Alton towers it's the best Alton towers I love you Alton towers.
Love how they brushed over 2015, the smiler was really thriving that year how could they forget?
Amazing video!
This theme park is the one thing that makes me proud to be British.
I love the way the smiler is built and the Alton Towers hotel
Wow just wow, cant believe your celebrating your 40th Birthday this year and I'm so glad I was a small part of Alton Towers working and operating on Nemesis, met some amazing friends who I still talk to now plus some awesome memories to I've never laugh so much working in a job. So I just want to say a massive Thank you and Happy 40th Birthday Alton Towers
Rita definitely deserves to be a secret weapon 100% It's so underrated!
Nah it really doesn’t
Who would dare to dislike this video AltonTowers is literally my second Home

Thank you for developing/being apart of this amazing place. I've watched this place grow over the years since I was a toddler and so have my parents. My father has witnessed Alton Towers grow since the main attraction were the gardens!
Can't express how much this place feels like home to me and how happy I am to be apart of its community. Will always be a follower of the MOJ.
Love from North Wales 🏴💞
Love the tribute to Corkscrew, The Flume and Black Hole- three fantastic ride

Happy birthday to the uks beat Park!
Amazing CGI, Thrilling rides, Beautiful hotels, Amazing nature, Incredible history . Its these things which make Alton Towers the best UK theme park!
Happy 40th anniversary Alton towers
LOVE this nostalgia trip! Then again I guess its what the slogan used to always say - "Where wonders never cease and where the magic never ends!"
Here’s to Alton Towers 🥂
amazing theme park. I go twice or more times a year and never get bored of the place!!!
Lucky you. Last time I went was 5 years ago.
Awesome animation and asides from the dark forest dates very good video you can tell the park put lots of work into this masterpiece
Just noticed the Bottom Right! Awesome!
Such a great 40 years and definitely a great forever more!
Corkscrew was my first ever upside down ride and I'm so glad I remember it
I remember "Cockscrew". But when we went in 1999 (I was only 8 at the time), we were too young to ride it, and my parents hated roller coasters. And I can remember it being part of "Ug Land" or something like that, which *really* did and sounded ill-advised. The only ride I can remember us actually going on is the now-gone log flume (which is now "The Wicker Man"), the haunted house ride (I don't know if that is still there) as well as walking around the actual "towers" and its garden (which is still apparently lovingly well kept), along with watching screaming other visitors going on "Oblivion" (at the time, it had just opened) and wishing we weren't them.
Rita: So I'm not here anymore
Enterprise: I know
lmao
*sad spinball whizzer noises
Happy 40th
Game of Thrones meets Alton Towers

Before watching this and I’m hyped
Happy birthday Alton towers 40 years
Ngl, I actually love this animation!
Ok The Animation For The Marmaliser Is So Badass
I love how they remembered Galactica used to be called air. I went there when it was still called air!
I love how they done this
I love the stars at the end when they showed 4 of the rides logo.
Can wait to buy the merch
I love Alton Towers it is sad that we cant go but we will get through it
who ever had the ideo to do and make this need a raise well done representing the park wish you could bring back the old rides to celebrate the 40th annoversary of your awsom park
Great to hear that they are still using their "dum-de-dum-de-dum-de-dum" musical jingle. Which they have done since 1992 (the same year we moved into our house and before I properly started forming any real memories). When you hear the music, you know it's Alton Towers (like hearing the "Holidays are Coming" at Christmas means it's Coca-Cola). If only some people today can come up with such long-lasting, memorable jingles.
its been 8 years since i went to alton towers. definitely want to come back
Let’s hope for another 40 !!
Rip rita
rita isnt going anywhere lmak
