The closed season has begun and work on the monorail at Alton Towers has begun. Last year we reported that work was going on to install a new evacuation platform but it would seem it was later scrapped off and postponed until this years closed season.
Some unexpected news coming out from Alton Towers today. The Katanga Canyon to Mutiny Bay pathway has now reopened to the public, more than likely to cope with the extra footfall that October half term and subsequentially fireworks bring.
With one more scare free weekend to go we thought we would pop down and visit Alton Towers to see what is happening around the resort and what has been done to prepare for the Scarefest season.
With two weeks to go, everything is coming together to get everything ready for Scarefest. With more work than every before with 4 mazes to prepare as well as a scare zone, Freak Show.
Lots of work has happened on site since our last visit to the park.
With almost one month to go before the Scarefest festivities we headed to Alton Towers to check out what has been going on. When we got there we were surprised to see a lot of progress taking place, specifically around the shipping containers of Sub species.
What a difference a week makes! Last update there was only one shipping contained and a tunnel, now... it looks much more complete!
Another week another time checking out the SW8 construction, there has been again, a lot of changes on the site.
There has been a lot going on around Alton Towers, Here is a roundup of all new things that have came to the resort recently. New Bar Opens at Rollercoaster Restaurant:
Alton Towers Scarefest is coming around the corner quickly so construction is well underway for the scare mazes, we reported last week that Terror of the Towers will have a new route due to the way the final corridor has been set up. Nothing else visible has changed since.
It's all changing on the SW8 site at the moment with lots going on up and down the site with lots to see. Although there was no work on site with it being a Sunday there was still lots to see since our last visit last week.
