Hi all,
Long time lurker here. But now I have a question. Please move or delete if this is the wrong thread for it though.
A friend of mine is coming over from Germany in October and we'd like to visit Alton Towers. It would be his first time visiting AT, and we're both (somewhat) rollercoaster enthusiasts, so naturally we'd like to ride as many rides as possible.
Currently we’re planning to visit on a Scarefest Saturday or Sunday with a Gold Fastrack. 9 or 10 October to be precise. I'm assuming it would be packed, but the park stays open longer and we get to skip the queues once, plus maybe even a few night rides on our favourite rides (with queueing). We’re not interested in the scare mazes.
We could alternatively go on Monday 11 October. The park would likely be considerably less busy and we might not even need a fastrack, but it feels like a 6-hour day isn’t really worth the drive all the way from London and back.
Do you have any views on this? Would you choose Scarefest + Fastrack over the weekday visit?
Thanks for your comments!
Max
