Wow aren't you a barrel of fun tonight. I wont bother anymore, some of us like the old stuff and I enjoyed seeing an remember it well so i thought I would share it
Ben.... the picture of old stuff on the timeline on FB could that person help us with the missing leaflets that we need to complete our maps and leaflets section ?? or can you dig around and see if you can fill in the gaps...the park MUST have master copies of each leaflet ever produced.
If you get chance could you have a look at our maps and leaflets area and you will see what we need to complete. Luckily I managed to plug a large amount of the gaps last year after I went in the loft !! But we still are some seasons short...
You can actually have an original copy of what I posted - They actually bought in several copies! I will look, but ALOT of all that stuff was lost when an old Maintenance Manager decided to demolish the old Reception building - With it's contents still inside! (I know! I can't believe that story either!)
That's not the worst story I've heard... Apparently at one point Alton Towers lost the image file for THEIR LOGO. Along with the CD for Nemesis' ride audio. Oh Tussauds how I miss you...
yes the porta kabins that were next to the car park toilets..... mind you guest information porta kabin use to be by the phone box near pirate ship and i remember the ladybird being stuck on the back wall in acrylic...it looked fab..
I also remember when the second phone box at the mini railway station
Cheers for the welcome, and yes there is I suppose Pre-Health And Safety. I'm off to PWH tomorrow actually (They asked if I can take it in so they can scan it on Twitter... Will it be Ben I need to ask for at reception?) I shall scan it myself and PDF it for you here soon.
Edit: Will get my mum to have a look round the house, May have some other stuff from her Staff Days.

Enjoy all these beautys I found.... they include the 94-96 Firework Fiesta weekends...a ticket I used in 1994 to get in ... note the wording on there....waveney district council car park tickets.....lowestoft journal birthday club card....a tissue when they had them printed with the logo on....show times...vouchers...and look at the very first time they introduced the passport to lesiure...season pass....it was going to be new for 1997 and that was the year I got one...check out the price !!! Plus included in these scans was the Christmas events they use to hold at the park......
Interesting how the rides stayed open longer then and the fireworks were later too. Such a difference in prices all over too....
Thanks Andy,,,, yes the mid 90s ones they did really were the t**s.... they even use to have a broadland fm firework that lit up and came round on the chairlift and a see you next season one from pwh...... was such a brilliant weekend of fun and SO busy.............
