This colourful
wizard made his first appearance in the Wonderful Times in
1993, when he introduced Henry Hound to the Land of Make Believe. Named after the
ancient hill fort located nearby, he had always been at the Towers and
was the one who was responsible for the magic at the park.
Not content with
starring in several issues of the Wonderful Times he
would also appear around the park, taking part in the parades, as well
as other in-park entertainment.
Bunbury was also
said to be the one behind Alton Towers magnificent firework displays
and over the years he has appeared occasionally in the park. The last
time he was seen was during the 2001 fireworks display, when he was
fighting against the Pumpkin King and his spooky followers.
