- Nelson Mandela is inaugurated as South Africa's first Black president.
- The worlds first satellite TV service was launched

Importantly for us, but maybe not for everyone else looking at the list above, May 2009 saw the firts ever Ultimate Event. For the folloing 14 years the UK's premier theme park has rocked to the beat of some of the top acts on the Contemporary Christian Music Scene. The Ultimate Event has provided the perfect May day outing for 1,000s of thrill seeking young people.
Plans are already under way for another extravaganza in May 2009. The date will be Saturday 9th May.
Some of the best white knuckle rides in the UK form the perfect background to the ultimate experience. Groups travel from literally all over the UK to ride Nemesis, Air and the latest addition to the incredible roller coaster family, Rita - Queen of Speed.
The evening brings on an extravaganza of music for the droves of people making their way to our purpose built arena. Over the years we have been proud to host some of the greats of christian music as well as introduce up and coming talent. Delirious?, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, Rebecca St James, All Star United, Matt Redman, Toby Mac & Tait have all wowed the crowd at Alton. Last year saw Bandwithnoname, RPM, This Beautiful Republic, Sanctus Real and Delirious?.
Our driving passion at Ultimate is to put on a great day which Christian young people would be proud to bring their friends. Over the years hundreds of young people have had their lives revolutionized at Alton as they have been impacted with the incredible message of Jesus for the first time.
We are putting together a great line up for May 2009 our 15 Year Anniversary.
