    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Questioning, debating and opposing are different to accusing someone of lying, especially when they didn't. Now, if anyone has an issue with me, they can take it up in a private message, I will no longer be replying to this topic. Many thanks.

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Please find my post saying it gave me food poisoning, and not just saying it made me sick. I didn't say that, you all said that. Pick on me, and I'll say something, I didn't lie. :') Also... There*

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Its not that I don't like Towers its the best park we have in the UK in my opinion, I love Nemmie, and Blivvy, even Th13rteen is fun, Hex and Duel, and I go there more often than to Thorpe or Chessington (even though I live 100 miles closer to those two). Liking something does not make it world...

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    If someone had asked this about Europa, or Disney Florida, or Universal, there wouldn't even be a discussion. Just flat out yeses. That is how you know what world class is, there isn't discussion. TheMan just said it. Gordon Ramsay is a world class chef like Heston, no one can argue that. But...

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Also, by everyone saying it isn't as good as those parks we all know with no doubt are world class, means it isn't world class. (I had already made that point, but it was completely ignored)

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    That's just bully for you, maybe your doctors aren't as busy as the ones in built up areas around London then. I just wrote out about two paragraphs of stuff, I'm not going to post it because this has become completely pointless.

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    I can pay that much at St Louis Bar in Europa and get a kids meal which is as large as a meal at Towers, yet the burger is made of joy and the chips are beautiful. I can get a Nandos for that much, and that is made of nom. I don't mind paying for food, if it's good. I've spent two hundred on a...

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Shame about getting sick after going to Tavern though. However, that seems to be acceptable standards by some people. If the food is bad and so overpriced people are actually recommending other people to take a packed lunch, how can it be world class?

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Because I've always loved the idea of eating rotten fruit and gone off ham in a stale sandwich. How am I supposed to keep it fresh, when I have to go there on the day before, on the train because I don't drive? Not that Towers should have better food, and it should be cheaper. Everyone should...

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Like I said... I'm coming from London... I can't just pack a lunch. I did actually already mention that. If you'd read my previous posts. So, charge a fortune for their awful food (which has made me ill previously), and charge a fortune for their fast tracks. At Parque De Atracciones we paid 25...

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    World class should also include guest satisfaction, which should include value for money. If it costs half of my entrance ticket to get my lunch, and when I get my lunch is tastes like dog poo, why would I think that park is world class.

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Even with my annual pass, and not including my very expensive travel up from London, I end up spending over £50 at Towers because of food, drinks, and extras like merch. Now, add that to £25 entry, and make it a family of five. That's gonna be half a month's worth of wages for some people!

    I've seen French people at Blackgang Chine... So... In that case, Blackgang Chine is world class?

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    The general public don't even think it's the best park in the UK, let alone the world. Just thought I'd have a look at Trip Advisor, voted 3rd best in the country to BPB and Paultons. 12th in Europe, and not even on the list for the world.

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Since those parks are among the best in the world, and as you said are the 'creme de la creme' and Towers cannot compete with them, it is not world class. That is the very definition of world class, among the best in the world.

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    If Alton Towers is world class, in what way does it compete with parks like Europa, Disney Paris/Florida, Universal? What does it have that means it is on the same level as parks like these?

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    I don't think people's definition of a theme park is all that important in this particular discussion as Towers has been compared to DLP and EP the most. Six Flags parks are probably more comparable to Thorpe as I'm led to believe they are all giant heaps of concrete too.

    Is Alton Towers a world class theme park?

    Ride hardware does not a world class park make. In fact, good ride hardware doesn't even make a good ride! With all it was supposed to be, and all the hope we had for it, every time I come off of The Smiler I have a headache and a sour look on my face. Air actually breaks down a lot and has a...
