For the third and final time in this latest set of aerial updates MI7 has provided some spectacular shots of Alton Towers Resort from above. Following on from the previous update featuring the Enchanted Village, this time we take a look at the closed season developments across the theme park.
Many of the rides across the resort are undergoing their regular routine winter maintenance, with Twirling Toadstools being dismantled in Cloud Cuckoo Land, Blade being covered, and Ripsaw surrounded by its customary scaffolding in Forbidden Valley.
In X-Sector Enterprise has been almost completely dismantled with the ride cars having been removed and only the spokes can be seen still in place. No major work appears to have been carried out on either The Smiler or Oblivion, however a large cherry picker type vehicle can be seen suggesting some minor maintenance work is being carried out.
