News: Alton Towers fireworks displays allowed

By BryanWood

Oct. 19th, 2004 -- A judge has ruled that Alton Towers is allowed to have fireworks displays over the next two weekends. They were being protested by neighbors who say it sounds like a "war zone".

The judge sympathized with the neighbors, who are just 100 yards from Alton Towers' entrance. He said he would ban them if he could, but he felt that Tussauds Theme Parks would suffer "substantial irrecoverable losses" if the displays were cancelled on short notices.
