Alton Towers

Not long got back, booked the dog walker for Ledger and headed over for the day with my brother

Tickets were £8.50 each of Tesco clubcard vouchers so even with the £6 parking it was a great value day maybe as the forecast was pants and the new ride Smiler isn't open yet but it was really quiet despite the schools being on holiday, only had one ride where we queued for 45 mins the rest were all under 20 as we used the single rider queues to fill in the gaps

Not been for years and it is looking very tired in places, the gardens have been massively neglected which is a shame but really enjoyed the day

I have never been to Alton towers the kids have but not me, I'm a big scardey cat when it comes to the fair, glad you had a good day

Not been for years but used to love it, especially the firework display they do at the end of the season! Glad you had a good day

Me too with the fair but you feel a lot safer at Alton Towers!! Love Nemasis

Been an age since I went to a theme park! Love em

Ive been once to Alton Towers and it was in the middle of the summer hols and it was dead! Nothing like a normal fun fair, far to spread out, spent most of the day walking about. No Q's for the rides though which was a bonus.

It is a tiring day, you need lots of fast food to keep you going

Last time I went I was there from about 10am til 5 and only got to go on two rides

I wouldn't go back tbh the ques are just sick unless you have the bands

Sounds like haven!

It was the same when I went to Disney Paris. It was jan so like -1 so noone was stupid enough to go cause of the risk of hypothermia hahaha

Love Alton Towers easy the best in the country. Not been for ages, used to always go when I was a kid. My kids no into them so I would have to go on my own. Managed to get my youngest on all the rides at Camalot last year and tried to get her on the Pepsi Max in Blackpool but she was having none of it
Might take the youngest next year. Last time I went they had just brought out the Nemisis. Miss the Thunder Looper that was the best

I've never been to a theme park, glad to hear you had a great though despite the weather
