Restoring The Alton Towers Bookworm - Episode 3
1,548In 1996 Alton Towers opened a new themed area called Storybook Land. A huge part of this new family area would be a large animatronic bookworm, that would go on to entertain millions of guests at the park. After the area closed at the end of 2013, I managed to acquire this piece of Alton Towers history. But unfortunately the park had let the Bookworm fall into disrepair, meaning it would take a huge amount of work to restore. In this exciting series I'll be showing the long, but meaningful journey of restoring this classic piece of Alton Towers history.
In episode 3 we start the sanding down process on the main part of the body. We later attempt the most difficult part of the project so far, trying to fix the head! Along with that we work on some other areas of the Bookworm restoration along with adding the first layer of paint!
