    Cute story about a bloke proposing at AT

    I proposed during Scarefest 2013 in the gardens behind the AT hotel. I'd had it planned for a while, and had to sit on the left side of my Mrs all day on all the rides so she wouldn't feel the ring box in my pocket. After a day on the park I suggested a quick drink and a wonder around the hotel...

    Scarefest 2019

    Hi all, long time lerker here I too would like to see a return of the scare zones as they do really add to the feel of the whole event. Also, (much more petty this one) the dance troop (Alton Ancestors?) are absolutley brilliant and help set the mood when you enter the park. But..... I didnt...

    Nemesis Sub-Terra: "Ongoing Maintenance"

    Now I think I see where the issue might be. I would only ride NST, Duel, Hex, Barrells, Log Flume and Rapids, all once if I was a normal member of the public on a day trip to AT, and then get on the bigger coasters and the RMT as much as I could. I think NST does a great job as a filler, but...

    Nemesis Sub-Terra: "Ongoing Maintenance"

    Would you rather have Sub-Terra, or the upselling Lava rock climbing wall thing? Exactly! Save your moaning for something worthwhile.....like the Air tunnel or Charlie.

    Scarefest 2015

    anybody got any idea if you still get fast track tickets for selected rides if you stay at the hotel during scarefest? I seem to remember them a few years back but have stayed elsewhere for the past couple of years

    Food & Beverage 2015

    Just to clarify (as I only attend Scarefests these days) How much are drinks capsules? Do we have to pay for refills, or has that great idea been dropped? Are this years capsules relatively good at keeping the liquid on the inside?

    2016: Theme Park Developments

    Surely theres a need for some propper toilets at Explorers Pasta & Pizza soon. Its a fair walk to the nearest ones and if you are eating theres often a queue in the restraunt

    Of course she did ;) I'd spent all day coaxing her onto the right hand side of all the rides so she wouldnt notice the ring box in my left hand pocket. It was all going well until she decided she didnt want to sit on the 'outside' for our first ride on the smiler. But I got away with it and she...

    I'm 30 and despite visiting florida at 13, never got on a coaster until I was 22. I lost my V plates on shockwave and havent looked back since. I still havent ridden Blivvy though as I'm a big scaredy pants. Love the Smiler, Nemmy and Air though! Only tend to visit the Towers at scarefest these...

    Major New Accommodation in 2014 - Themed Lodges (Cancelled)

    Re: Major New Accommodation in 2014 - Themed Lodges I think there is a strategic decision to be made soon as to whether Alton Towers becomes a dedicated theme park with accomodation or a true resort.

    Scarefest 2013: Discussion

    BUMP! I dont think this has been mentioned yet so here goes.. School Half Term dates definitely had an impact I thought last year. Typically I belive that all schools nationally used to have the same half term week in late October. Unless I am mistaken (which isnt uncommon) last year was the...

    Major New Accommodation in 2014 - Themed Lodges (Cancelled)

    Re: Major New Accommodation in 2014 - Themed Lodges That, dear Sir, is genius! I would expect these do be much more pricey than the hotel rooms though, possibly with a minimum stay period. You are effectively getting your own building that will cost more to build, clean, and maintain than a...

    A quick mention about promoting TowersStreet

    Stupid question that I've probably missed the answer to somewhere... is there a TS bookface and twitter page/account/group?
