August 18th 2008 : Fatality in Major Coach Crash near Alton

There have been over 40 casualties as a coach overturns and falls off a bridge near the River Churnet. The road is the main route used to get to and from Alton Towers from the South and East. The coach suffered horrific damage as it ploughed down into a neighbouring garden in bad weather. This accident follows a decade of calls for a new Eastern access road to be built provide a safer and quicker route to the park away from nearby villages.

July 31st 2008 : Skyride Refurb Confirmed

The Skyride will receive a "face lift" for 2009. TowersTimes believes that this will involve new gondolas of a slightly smaller size than that of the current stock. It remains unclear as to whether the stations will also be upgraded as the station that burnt down last October was rebuilt to it's previous state (albeit with a new lick of paint).

Another Mutiny Bay style update today with the addition of Alton Towers' new Battle Galleons game, celebrating the park's latest ride. Happy Pirate Bashing!!

31st July 2008:

Two tracks have been added to the Sounds of Alton Towers page. That of the replacement Air soundtrack (also featured on the London Eye) when the previous soundtrack rights expired in 2006. The other is a short version of the Mutiny Bay theme.

Sticking with Mutiny Bay a Pirate's Treasure page is now online dedicated to the park's excellently themed new Panning for Gold Attraction.

26th July 2008:

We've been having a bit of a Mutiny Bay kinda day here at TowersTimes today with lots of updates all through the Mutiny Bay pages, including lots of new images for the Battle Galleons as well as several new general area shots.

While we were in a piratey mood we've given the history section a bit of an update, with a second page of Battle Galleons Construction images now available. Also, Merrie England has now found it's way into the retired areas section, along with the Tea Cup Ride and Splash Kart Challenge. Well worth taking a look, as we've dug out some classic old photos, which haven't been on the site in quite a few years. And there's also a tour of the area just after it was closed for its retheme.

Finally a touch of site admin, with the Ticket Prices and Booking pages being updated to include recent price increases; Q Cutters now including the new Fastrack One Shot and the Pirates of Mutiny Bay and The Wonders of Alegnon's Attic pages now displaying the Summer show times.
