  1. Trooper Looper

    Simple, but effective dark rides

    My pick would be a now defunct Ghost Train by the name of ShrieksVille! It used to operate at Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes. From first impressions it looks like a Ghost Train of the 90s, but no, it actually opened in 2010! No screens, no modern animatronics or huge special effects, just props...

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    Gosh I'm really hoping they don't go down that route, we've got enough buildings in the park that are either very dark colours, or just grey and black. The original Facade for the Haunted House and Duel looked wonderful and actually looked like a creepy old house you'd see, thanks to its natural...

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    The only differences we can see on the facade are that it's being repainted into a more typical worn look (which Im personally not a fan of). I think the turret looks great though with the new paint, but not the actual house section which I think should've been left alone.

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    I'd advise skipping to the last minute of the video, the other rest is just him Walking there in Haunted Hollow, but there's some good insight on the site of the Area, it seems that the Facade is being repainted!

    Not a fan of the new name, feels very cliche and unnecessary. Nemesis was a great name by itself that still works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Merlin:

    So the attraction is completed? Why would they start this early when they're keeping the ride system? I'm just curious.

    Same here. Will always be the Haunted House! Lemme guess the books name "Smoke and Mirriors, The Hautned House of Alton Towers, by Michael P Elay"

    Hey, I'm new on the forum, but I've been reading this thread and thought it's be nice to join in. So, onto Duel... I'm really hoping they'll keep The Grand Hall and Screaming Heads scene intact. They're my favourites! In years of the scenes above being removed, we haven't seen any props yet...
