I Wish I Was At Alton Towers @talesfromthetowers - Tumblr Blog

hi!!

just a little post to introduce you all to this blog!! i’m zia, and i made this to save my family the pain of me ranting about alton towers. i’ve been to alton towers 5 times now (??) which doesn’t sound like a lot but i am only 16!

this blog is just somewhere where i’ll post about the history of the rides, my thoughts on them, things like that. so yeah, please enjoy!

#introduction #introduction to me

ever wanted to ride the coasters at alton towers in chronological order?

i have, and now you can too!!

((for the purposes of this list, i’ve missed off children’s rides, transportation and the grounds as i doubt many of the people trying to do all the rides, including secret weapons, would want to do cbeebies land lol. i’ll also include which section of the park they are in. secret weapons are italicised. all info is correct as of 6/02/21))

my 2021 alton towers plans!!

with covid still running rampant here in england, it’s looking increasingly unlikely that the park will be opening as planned for the 2021 season on the 20th March. having said that, i also have no money so i really need to start saving up lol!! having said that, here’s what i hope to do this year (in regards to the towers)!!

attend my first scarefest

ride the rides in chronological order (from when they were first added)

ride the smiler for the first time!!

get to ride the wickerman again (it was closed for the entire day the last time i went)

buy merch

so. much. merch

re-ride th13teen again

go through the dungeons

hopefully ride gangsta granny: the ride (if it’s open)

keep an eye out for the secret weapon easter eggs in the queue lines

maybe film my first vlog!

not get lost in the gardens (it happened once, i ended up by the cbeebies hotel and had to get the monorail back lmao)
