A documentary funded by the Tussauds Group, broadcast in 1992 following the development of Alton Towers' new attractions that year: Katanga Canyon and The Haunted House. Also a part biography of Tussauds park developer John Wardley and a look at Chessington World of Adventures in its early years.

This is the story of Alton Towers today and yesterday. We take a privileged journey through images dating back to the 1870s - through film dating back to the 1920s and through the eyes of the present - to those who know and love Alton Towers today.
