The Alton Towers Theme is Stately Home (which counts as a theme). Theme Parks is the classified ad slang for "Role-play". Is Civilization a god game? Is civilization the board game a "competing" god game. Is Monopoly a god game? Or do Estate agents and property developers just think they are gods? OR DEVILS!!! The ITN theme is called Non-Stop by Michael John Batt and is AWESOME. He was seventeen when he wrote it, so it makes him the Billie of light music.

Amusement parks of East Tennessee (hello Twitty City) and "God games" are mooted and toyed with; an outrageously funky version of "Thus Spake Zarathustra" and a mashup of "Circus Bells (Hardfloor Remix)" by Robert Armani and "Islands in the Stream" by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers get all-too-rare airings.
