Wednesday 22nd April 2009 - The new Cloud Cuckoo Land has breathed some colourful new life into the former Cred Street area. Part of the re-vamp included the introduction of lots of themeing throughout the area consisting of giant plants, toadstools and pipes, which attracted the attention of an unwitting teenager.
The 15-year-old boy climbed into one of the decorative pipes outside the Cloud Cuckoo Land Theatre and became stuck, prompting a call to the fire and rescue service to come and free the boy. Firefighters had to cut the pipe open to release the boy, who was immediately checked over by the Alton Towers medical staff for any harm, but the boy walked away unscathed
