    Towers Loving Care

    Thank the lord it wasn't just me who thought most of this. I thought the entertainment was okay when it was getting dark but it has nothing on Thorpe Park in my opinion. The place does look so tired though.

    Scarefest this weekend....

    Boy, looking back I am so glad that I purchased the 'Silver' Fastrack passes. Yesterday eve at what must have been around 7ish, the queue time for Smiler was 120 mins!!! Next door, Oblivion was 70 mins queue time! Thankfully because we stayed at Splash Landings and to make up for no ERT, we...

    Scarefest 2017

    Hey peeps! I'm heading to AT this weekend with my daughter and was wondering on how busy do you guys expect it to be? I know it's Scarefest but it's not really that close to Halloween so i'm not sure whether to purchase some Fastracks or not. Did anyone go last weekend? Was it busy at all then...

    I guess there hasn't been any time mentioned as to how long it will be until X-Sector (not including the Smiler) and Sonic will be opened again? I'm staying over at AT on Friday and not being able to go on Oblivion and Sonic dampens my excitement a little. But of course safety comes first.

    Incident on The Smiler 02/06/2015

    I could never imagine an AT member of staff saying "mind your own business" to a member of the paying public! The staff at AT are the friendliest theme park staff that i have ever come across. I'll always remember a few years back when me and my little girl were looking for a route to a ride...

    I really don't see why people are too bothered if the carts are repairable or not?! Edit: who really cares??

    I'm going next Friday with my 10 y/o daughter as long as the park is open of course. We've booked into the Enchanted Village and was really looking forward to it.

    I've got a trip booked next week at AT with my daughter and this has totally zapped my excitement in going. Jesus, that video......Those poor, poor people.

    2015: Alton Towers Enchanted Village

    And i thought it was just me! Plus i don't think many people would spend their time in the lodge during the day anyway @Danny so i can't see your point being a major issue.

    2015: Alton Towers Enchanted Village

    My freinds showed me pics at the weekend of the hot tub, it was all nicely lit up at night and it looked pretty cool. I guess you can't please everyone.

    2015: Alton Towers Enchanted Village

    Does every single thing have to be themed? I think some people are going a little OTT on this theming malaky IMO. Yes but they're not in the resort are they?

    Which ride will be removed next? (Poll reset 20.06.2017)

    Surely every Theme Park should have a swinging Pirate Ship though? It's almost like a tradition! Plus it's one of those rides which adults and small children can enjoy. Charlie is pretty pointless IMO, when i did a 2 day stay at Scarefest last year with my 10/yo daughter we didn't go on it...

    2015: Alton Towers Enchanted Village

    Has anyone mentioned the hot tubs!? My freinds stayed in the Lodges last week and they loved it although to be fair, it was their first time at AT. I think it's still work in progress and they're still improving it as time goes on. Maybe they shouldn't be charging full price yet....but...

    2015: Alton Towers Enchanted Village

    Who's actually stayed in the Enchanted Forest?! I'm staying there just for 1 night in June and i'll let you all know exactly what it's like. Of course, it's expensive (what isn't now-a-days!?) but i thought it would make a nice change from staying at Splash for me and my daughter. If it's...

    General Weekend Busy-ness question....

    Awesome thanks for the advice Gary, it's pretty much what i expected. We have MAPs so that's also another option if we get there early enough and do both the park and water park on the Friday!

    General Weekend Busy-ness question....

    Hi all, I've booked an overnight stay at AT for Friday 12th June for me and my daughter and I was wondering how busy the Saturday would be in the park? I live in Essex so we'll head up on Friday morning and my plan was to do the water park on Friday (which should be dead as it's in school...
