Starting with a lasagne-loving cat and an ill-fated dark ride, Defunctland has explored the history of Kennywood's Old Mill and the infamous Garfield overlay, Garfield's Nightmare.
Alton Towers Resort - home to some of the UK's best rides and rollercoasters - has been reimagined by DigitalDan as a Formula 1 racing track. So could F1 Alton Towers be added to the annual Formula 1 calendar? Probably not but it’s a fun video all the same.
