Nemesis might have the most iconic soundtrack of any UK ride, but you know what it needs? Loud guitars! This is my rock inspired version of the original theme, composed by the legendary Graham Smart. This is an alt version of my previous arrangement, created for @etparchive.
Oblivion at Alton Tower's has one of my favourite pieces of theme park music, even though it's taken from a stock soundtrack! Here's my take on it, combining that classic 90s drum and bass sound with elements of industrial and symphonic metal. DONT. LOOK. DOWN. 🎸⬇️🕳️
I'm starting a new project where I take iconic theme park music and reimagine it in my own style. Introducing... Theme Parks Reorchestrated🎶🎢 To kick things off, here's my rock inspired arrangement of the classic Nemesis theme. New music soon!
The Blade at @altontowers also confirmed to retire after over 40 years, originally opening with the theme park in 1980.
Today, @altontowers has confirmed via a blog post that The Blade, The Alton Towers Dungeon, and Flavio’s Fabulous Fandango will be retired from the park's attraction line up and not return for 2025.
With Ripsaw V2 at Alton Towers set to open next season, here's some fantastic newly scanned photos of the original ride brand new in 1997! The surrounding Forbidden Valley area was also finished off after the removal of Thunder Looper. #themeparks #altontowers
The same scene several years apart in the Haunted House at Alton Towers. The 1998 photos were taken ahead of the 1999 revamp at which point most the scenery and effects were mothballed /removed. (Random post) #themeparks #altontowers #hauntedhouse #darkrides
