'I visited Alton Towers this summer and was floored by the queue times'
A rollercoaster fan who recently went to Alton Towers was shocked at how long the wait times were for several rides with summer holidays coming up and she shared his experience online Alton Towers, the beloved theme park nestled in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, is a hot spot for thrill-seekers with its array of rides and attractions. With the six-week summer holiday on the horizon, parents are on the hunt for fun days out to keep their little ones entertained. Theme parks are a favourite choice for family outings, but they can become quite crowded during this period. A rollercoaster fan who goes by the moniker Coastertog on social media, has given his followers a glimpse into the lengthy queues at Alton Towers via a TikTok video. The clip has garnered a whopping 1.1 million views, 50,900 likes, and more than 1,300 comments in just two days. In the video, Coastertog started by declaring Alton Towers is very busy at the moment and he told viewers they wouldn't be ready to see the extensive queues for a number of rides. He revealed that the wait time for The Smiler was a staggering 140 minutes, while Thirteen had a 90-minute queue, even though it was only 11am. The video shows throngs of visitors at the park, with long queues around various rides. Despite the rainy weather, Coastertog estimated a turnout of 16,500 guests that day. He continued to highlight the extended wait times for other rides, including Wicker Man with a 110-minute queue, Nemesis with an approximate wait time of 100 minutes, and Galactica with a 105-minute wait. Coastertog also pointed out a ride access pass queue that was "hanging out of the gate." The avid theme park further notes that the closures of Rita and Spinball Whizzer were likely contributing to the lengthy queues. He remarked: "We've seen a lot of triple digit queue times today and fast track isn't going to save you either. Look at how long that queue is." Coastertog gave a heads-up that Alton Towers is expected to be "busy pretty much every day" during the school summer holidays but also hinted that queues "do die down nearer the end of the day" suggesting visitors might want to stick around rather than leave early. The TikTok post's caption warns: "Alton Towers queue times right now. Queues do calm down later in the day but if you're looking for a chilled day at Alton right now, just wait until September!" A spokesperson for Alton Towers Resort stated: "At this time of year, the Resort welcomes a high volume of school groups from across the country, many of whom are eager to experience our most thrilling rollercoasters. "As the UK's number one theme park, we're proud to offer unforgettable experiences but during peak periods, queue times can naturally be longer. "We continue to work hard to manage guest flow and provide real-time updates via our app to help guests plan their day." A viewer in the comments section of Coastertog's video suggested: "Alton Towers need to place daily guest limits. "If [a] certain amount of tickets for the day have already been sold, no more can be purchased." Despite Coastertog indicating lengthy queues for rides, a recent visitor to the theme park shared: "Went on Sunday and walked onto Nemesis twice and [the] maximum we waited was 30 mins."

Helium One Global Ltd Announces State-9 Spud at Galactica Project
LONDON, GB / / May 21, 2025 / Helium One Global (AIM:HE1), the primary helium explorer in Tanzania with a 50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium development project in Colorado, USA ("the Galactica Project"), provides an update following the Blue Star Helium (ASX: BNL) ("Blue Star") announcement issued today regarding the Galactica Project. Highlights State-9 SWSE 3054 ("State-9") development well spudded at the Galactica helium project Currently preparing to drill intermediate hole section Details The Company is pleased to announce the spudding of the State-9 development well at its Galactica helium project in Las Animas County, Colorado. This is the sixth well to be drilled in the Galactica development campaign. The shallow conductor has been set and blowout preventers are being installed and tested, and the next phase will be to drill through the intermediate hole section. After casing at the base of the intermediate section, the well will target the Lyons Sandstone Formation, with Total Depth ("TD") planned within the Upper Lyons Formation gas reservoir. When TD is reached, wireline logging will then be commenced, followed by flow and pressure readings at the wellhead. This data will be used to estimate the production potential of the well based on the production model. State-9 is anticipated to be completed and ultimately tied-in to production facilities. Galactica/Pegasus Development The Galactica project forms part of the broader Galactica/Pegasus development, discovered by Blue Star in 2022. This large-scale project offers multiple potential product streams. Blue Star is advancing the Galactica project in joint venture with Helium One Global Ltd. Under the farm-in agreement, Helium One will fund the first US $450,000 of this well. The third-party owned Red Rocks helium project adjoins Blue Star's Galactica Project (see map below). Development of Red Rocks further supports the commercialisation of the Galactica Project.

The Rukwa and Eyasi projects are located within rift basins on the margin of the Tanzanian Craton in the north and southwest of the country. These assets lie near surface seeps with helium concentrations ranging up to 10.4% helium by volume. All Helium One's licences are held on a 100% equity basis. The Company's flagship southern Rukwa Project is located within the southern Rukwa Rift Basin in south-west Tanzania. This project is considered to be entering an appraisal stage following the success of the 2023/24 exploration drilling campaign, which proved a helium discovery at Itumbula West-1 and, following an extended well test, successfully flowed 5.5% helium continually to surface in Q3 2024. Following the success of the extended well test, the Company flowed significant quantities of helium to surface and filed a Mining Licence ("ML") application with the Tanzania Mining Commission in September 2024. The 480km2 ML has now been offered to the Company and was officially accepted in March 2025. The Company also owns a 50% working interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium development project in Las Animas County, Colorado, USA. This project is operated by Blue Star Helium Ltd (ASX: BNL).

Hadia Ghaleb Drops SS25 Collection Where Modesty Meets Galactic Glam
Hadia Ghaleb Drops SS25 Collection Where Modesty Meets Galactic Glam 'It's not for one type of woman,' Ghaleb says. 'It's for every woman who wants modesty without muting herself.' Modestwear doesn't usually come with branded buses, celestial swim sets, or a digital fandom that refers to its founder as 'the internet princess' - but Hadia Ghaleb has never really followed the brief. Since launching her namesake label in 2022, Ghaleb has made a business out of breaking the rules politely. Her version of modesty is high-gloss, high-coverage, and allergic to beige minimalism. For Spring/Summer 2025, she's dialling it all the way up with what she calls a 'full wardrobe experience' - a tight edit of kaftans, swimwear, dresses, and accessories designed for the woman who wants more fabric and less explanation. And while everyone else is still trapped in the trend cycle of neutrals and quiet luxury, Ghaleb's out here dropping names like Bonbons, Star, and Zap Pop. Because modesty, apparently, doesn't mean quiet. The swimwear is modular - four-piece sets made to layer, mix, and actually swim in. Think sleek zip-tops, high-waist leggings, matching skirts and scarves in high-saturation tones. Galactica comes in silver with just the right level of drama. Onda Blu leans into deep sea blue with light-catching embroidery. Aqua Luna brings moonlit shimmer without the sparkle headache. Fiamma de HG is for the woman who treats a beach entrance like a runway call time. And Zap Pop? It's citrus. It's chaos. It's for when subtlety feels like a scam. The dresses, meanwhile, are less 'main character' and more 'I booked the table and wore something that makes you wish you had.' Bonbons and Candy are soft and sherbet-toned, ideal for brunches where you pretend not to notice you're being watched. Emerald and Green Mystic shift the mood - greens, ombré fades, silhouettes that say 'I don't do viral moments, I do presence.' It's not revolutionary, and that's the point. Hadia Ghaleb isn't trying to save fashion or 'challenge perceptions' with this collection. She's giving women - modest, maximalist, or somewhere in between - a wardrobe that looks like their calendar: destination weddings, soft-launch dinners, content trips, rooftop iftars, late-night swims. 'It's not for one type of woman,' she says. 'It's for every woman who wants modesty without muting herself.' And maybe that's why it works. SS25 doesn't exist in a vacuum - it exists on location. Under the sun, in the DMs, through the camera roll. It's less about runway approval and more about looking good in three time zones and two lighting setups.
