The Lost Rides Of Alton Towers Part 10 - Dynamo

Watch part 11 - Railway here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oQrl4IUIQoo . This fast spinning ride first made an appearance at Alton Towers in 1993. Painted in several bright colours and with a height restriction of 1.4metres it was then known as the AstroDancer and it replaced the Cine 2000 in Fantasy World.

When Fantasy World was to be overhauled into X-Sector AstroDancer was moved up to Festival park in 1997, where it continued to pull crowds. In 1999 the ride was altered to match new theme of Festival Park, Ug Land, and was renamed the Dino Dancer.

At the end of the 2000 season the ride was removed and did not make an appearance in the 2001 line up. The ride was then rethemed yet again and made a a comeback in Forbidden Valley for the 2002 season, now known as the Dynamo.

Despite this new lick of paint the ride was beginning to show its age and became increasingly unreliable, so much so that it only ran occasionally during the 2003 season. The ride was finally removed in February 2004.

Thanks for watching a Sanbrooke Production

I actually hated this ride, when I went on it along with my mother, the spinning it does makes you sick so this is one ride I'm glad is gone.
