Other Notes
The Car Ride "Hex... the Legend of theTowers", has a space missing, so that the words the and Towers are fused together. This is not a typo, but this was done on purpose, because there's a limit to the length of a ride name. That limit is 30 characters. When the name is spelled "wrongly", like it is now, it contains exactly that maximum amount of characters. With the added extra space, the last character would disappear.A picture of the Easter Egg, with the trees cleared. - According to Chris Sawyer's website, Alton Towers had originally wanted to use some of the game's music in their park, but this project was cancelled.
- Official Website
- In a clearing of trees west of the Steel Corkscrew Roller Coaster is the name "John Wardley" spelled out in bushes, the name of a real life concept designer for theme parks, including Alton Towers. He created many famous roller coasters such as Nemesis and Oblivion. He also assisted in the development of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.
