Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaurant

Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

I like the advert that's doing the rounds, but my god the logo is gash.

Also, opening times will be 10am-10pm everyday, 5pm onwards for hotel guests only. It's going to consist of 13 table, presumably seating 3 groups of 4 like Europa.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

From the promotion of "the UK's first Rollercoaster Restaurant" I guess they're going to roll out to Thorpe and other sites eventually. But it's hard to get excited about a cafe serving the same old **** but on rails.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

I wonder why it's taking them until the end of May to get it done...? I don't think we'll see Air's improvements finished until then either tbf.

Well done Merlin, nothing like opening stuff mid season.

^Exactly how the US feels about SF opening stuff.

Just a prediction for the slogan:

The most thrilling dining experience, BECAUSE THE FOOD ARRIVES AT YOUR TABLE VIA A SERIES OF MINIATURE ROLLER COASTER TRACKS, but you can still breathe BECAUSE THERE IS AIR.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

It's interesting to hear that they're finally going to offer something to do in the evenings for hotel guests.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

^They did already have a restaurant for them, I wouldn't say this is offering that much new.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

So will people walk through the closed park to get to this restaurant in the evenings? I can't remember the exact layout of that area of the park.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

^ There's an entrance to the park near Air, I think they used to use for ERT hotel guests. I don't know if they still do.

Ok, that makes sense then. I knew a new entrance round there was always a future idea but didn't know one already existed. Thanks.

It's called woodland walk, it's a fair walk to be honest, a good 15, 20 mins through a path in the woods, it's used as a quick access point for hotel guests to get ERT in Forbidden Valley.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

^ Eh.... IIRC, the entrance for hotel guests is underneath air's first main drop..?

I'm pretty certain it's the gates you can see behind the guy in the black top:

Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

Well, technically the woodland walk is the 'hotel' entrance but there is a general entrance under Air's drop that is used for crowd control on busy nights which could easily be used for this.

It's not 15-20 minutes though it's literally from the hotels to the Skyride, so it's about five minutes.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

Some more photos have surfaced online:

Hope they have some good lighting as it looks a bit bland here. The one in Vienna has some fancy lighting. Also, the artwork doesn't look to be as nice (read:historical) here as it did in the previous rendering. :/

No the woodland walk from Alton Towers hotel is a good 15, 20 minutes, you come out by blade.
 
Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

I've done that walk easily in 10 minutes.

Re: Alton Towers submits planning permission

Blade is actually closer to the hotels than the Skyride is...?

It's categorically NOT 15-20 minutes - it's the length of the car park!

Because thank you I have walked it enough times to know.
