TH13TEEN Preview Weekend (Rescheduled) Visit
As many of you will know, the Alton Towers TH13TEEN preview weekend was cancelled due to technical difficulties.
Alton Towers, being who they are didn't want to leave anyone disappointed and refunded everyone their tickets. Then they rebooked the entire event, although this time with free admission to the park and a fast track ticket for TH13TEEN. Also, guests were allowed to bring people with them, which is how I managed to attend the event.
The event started at 4pm in the hospitality suite located in the main park. The suite had been themed in a similar style to that of the ride itself, inclusive of the Rath actors.
Drinks were provided whilst we waited for our host to arrive, whom spoke a little then allowed us to enjoy our food. The food supplied by the resort was extremely tasty and of a much higher quality than I was admittedly expecting.
At 5pm, whilst we were all enjoying our food, John Wardley appeared on stage to talk about the development and history to TH13TEEN. His talk was very informative, well layed out and very enjoyable! After his talk about TH13TEEN he dropped the hint that SW7 was in the works by explaining how the SW naming convention came about.
Following on from this was some information about using Nolimits rollercoaster simulation and some history to NEMESIS, and some very interesting facts about it too.
After the talk we started our behind the scenes tour of both HEX and TH13TEEN.
