Theming tunnels up is a sore subject point here…

This may be controversial, but does anyone else think this project seems very over engineered? Looking at the plans, it’s certainly going to be a tight squeeze and I just can’t work out why they’ve flipped the plot on it’s side, when there was a perfectly usable path in between Ripsaw and the...

If you’re listening, can you open Hex tomorrow pls? Cheers and bye hun

I did my first ever solo visit last week and whilst I’m by no means a solo visitor expert, I’d recommend starting in Dark Forest. I arrived at the area around 0930 and was on the first Rita train just before 10am. I then did Thirteen, and then Rita again, all within 15 minutes of the rides...

Having four coasters plus CRR, Hex and Curse closed won’t be helping either. Shoddy day today, most of it is weather related though.

If Alton Towers were serious about improving their accessibility, they could put on their own bus services from Uttoxeter and Stoke on Trent train stations. 2 or 3 themed buses a day to get punters to the park between 9 and 11am. Then the same to get them back. Coincide them with train...

Anyone know why CRR have been closed recently? They were closed on my visit on Monday and I don’t think they’ve opened yet this week.

Well I’m now back home after my solo visit yesterday and I would 100% do it again. I was only on park for 5 hours from ride opening time but managed to fit in 7 rides, a sit down lunch and a little explore of the gardens. I think what I enjoyed most was doing things at my own pace and not...

Now I’m home from my visit today, I’m thrilled to share some major new theming additions to the queue line. Hats off to Merlin for the continued enhancements!

Not long got off my first ride on Nemesis and an explore of FV. The previous FV had the feel that you were exploring an area where something had happened, whereas the new FV has the feel like you’re exploring an area where something is happening around you. It’s a combination of the moving...

Easter holidays then. Staffordshire are back but a lot of the country are in their 2nd week off now.

I’m currently sat in Just Chicken having just had a chicken burger, large fries and a bottle of water. It was actually perfectly acceptable. The chicken was nice and crispy, there was a good amount of salad and sauce in the burger and the portion of fries was too large for me to finish off...

It’s a busy one on park today. Glad I started in Dark Forest. Managed 3 rides by 1015.

Well it’s going well so far! Rita opened early so did that before 10am. Thirteen was walk in, then did Rita again. 3 rides in 15 minutes. Now heading to the smiler SRQ.

Thanks folks! I’ve booked a ticket so I’ll let you know about my trip on here. I like my own company, and I’m now looking forward to doing exactly what I want on park, as selfish as that sounds 😆

Thanks! Yes I think I’m going to do the major coasters and then have a good explore around the gardens and around the outside of the Towers. Things I can’t do when I visit with my usual group!

So I’ve found myself with some free time on Monday 8th April up until about 3pm in the very local vicinity and I’m thinking about booking a last minute solo trip. I’ve never done this before - does anyone have any tips for a solo visit? I’m a thirty something bloke and I’m slightly conscious of...

What’s most surprising is that the MAP Holiday Club seems totally unpoliced and open to anyone to take advantage? I couldn’t see anywhere during the booking process that asks you to confirm your pass number etc, and now that the check in process is self-serve, who’s going to be checking that...

I’m going for an F&B related world record next time I visit. First person in the world to eat a bag of gruel from the Mutiny Bay BK who goes up for seconds.

I personally think R - IP OFF would be more fitting.
