    Major Operational Changes for 2018

    I'm really quite disappointed to be honest. Alton has been our "big" trip for the past few years as it's around 350 miles away so we like to make the most of it. Now I don't feel that these staggered opening times and other cuts are worth my time and money. I'm not going to spend a couple of...

    Thanks for the info as we'll be planning our annual trip soon, too. The joys of living 350 miles away. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Thanks! Will weigh up my options. :) Can anyone tell me what the Towers2 prices are this season?

    Quick Questions

    Am I right in thinking Scarefest is only running at weekends and during local school holidays this year? How busy is it likely to be? 600 mile round trip to the park, so going on a busy day is awful. ;)

    Scarefest 2012

    Sorry for double post - couldn't find a way to edit.. I noticed that the T&Cs of the maze tickets says that you must visit both mazes within 40 mins of the time slot...the queues can't be that long then? I was expecting to stand for ages, but not if we have to get both done in 40 mins.

    Scarefest 2012

    I've never been at the park during Scarefest before, but will be there on the 19th and am looking at buying the maze tickets just now. I was just wondering if it makes that much difference to the maze experience if you do them earlier in the day (say 2pm)? We're all a bit reluctant to pay £13 to...

    Thanks. :) Can anyone confirm? Don't want to jinx it too early by emailing AT - knowing my luck it'll only make them implement some ticket-checking rule!

    Quick Questions 2012

    If I went to the park using a bounceback ticket, can I buy another (next day) bounceback ticket with it before leaving? Was unsure if they check tickets or not, and would have thought there was some policy for this so they're not losing money?

    Selected rides opening from 11:00am - Reversed

    Re: Selected rides opening from 11:00am That's what I meant when I mentioned that I'm already way into my Nemesis/Oblivion whoring by 11 (having done what you do yourself - joining Air's queue for 10), so would have to come back to Air/TH13TEEN later and probably wouldn't do so because of the...

    Selected rides opening from 11:00am - Reversed

    Re: Selected rides opening from 11:00am Oh, there's plenty to do. I mean, it's not as if they're keeping all of the major attractions closed during the first hour. I just know, from experience, that some people like to head straight to FV to do Air with no ridiculous queues first. I'm well...

    Oblivion

    My favourite ride. It's the only one that still 'thrills' me every time I'm on it! I love seeing/hearing the reactions of others before, during and after, too. I'm beaming on every ride photo (sad, but true).

    Selected rides opening from 11:00am - Reversed

    Re: Selected rides opening from 11:00am Could be. How many people spend an hour going on rides closest to the park entrance before walking to the furthest points (with the biggest attractions), though? True. Personally, anyway. Unsure if the general public will see it that way. Better than a...

    The Toilet Topic

    I don't really pay much attention to the toilets when I'm there, to be honest. I do agree that they come across as dull and needing a bit of attention in general, though. Saying that, I was disgusted on arrival at my last visit. The toilets at the monorail station were filthy and, without going...

    Selected rides opening from 11:00am - Reversed

    Re: Selected rides opening from 11:00am I can only echo what others are saying about Air. It wouldn't affect me, really, because I'm not that keen on Air and don't make much of an effort to rush to it at 10am, but it goes without saying that there will be a lot of disappointed people at the far...

    Scarefest 2012

    I'm hoping to attend my first Scarefest this year (well, 4 AT days in a row, actually! :D). Looking forward to it!
