Moved it to Talk:Alton Towers/Archive 1, as that's more logicasl - the next dump will then go to Talk:Alton Towers/Archive 2 etc. _TalkIslander 19:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The page has been filled with topics ranging from 2 years old to almost a decade old with no additional comments. They have been archived in Talk:Alton Towers/Archive 2. The next dump should go in Talk:Alton Towers/Archive 3. – Dyolf87 (talk) 12:01, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Future developments

The "future" developments mentioned in this section are no longer "future". They are said to be "coming in 2019" – we're now at Christmas Eve 2019 and whether or not these developments have arrived, they are certainly not in the future. The developments which have opened (the Dungeon, for instance) need to be incorporated elsewhere in the article, as they are now present, not future. – Dyolf87 (talk) 11:50, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

new logo needed

I'm sorry, but can somebody please find a decent picture of the new logo (https://www.altontowers.com/media/nswp1bqi/atr-40-animated-1.gif?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=250&height=222)? --CyberJudoon (talk) 13:34, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Timeline of park areas is broken

The section Timeline of park areas seems to have been edited and is now broken. – Dyolf87 (talk) 09:10, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Ride availability status

I'm going to suggest that we remove the 'status' parameter from the ride list section (which states whether a ride is operational or temporarily closed). It seems to be used as an availability checker with one editor updating it regularly for short-term closures. But in my opinion we don't need to mention these closures unless the ride is unavailable long-term like Enterprise. J991 17:14, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

I would also support moving the rides to a separate article List of Alton Towers Rides (or similar), and only having a summary here. Mdann52 (talk) 05:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Owner

The 'Owner' section in the infobox is misleading. The land the resort sits on is indeed owned by LXi REIT, however the business that is Alton Towers as we know it is owned by Merlin Entertainments. In the same way all sorts of business lease their land or buildings from another organisation - that doesn't change who owns the business. I think removal of the Owner field would be sensible.

HUSS Top Spin

A few days ago, a Top Spin from HUSS has been delivered in the car park near Forbidden Valley, and that now pretty much confirms all the rumours that Project Ocean is what a lot of people speculated. GTAGamer245 (talk) 01:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
