    2019: General Discussion

    Does anyone know how the platinum fast-track collection works? My wife and I are visiting as a surprise - our best friends are visiting as a birthday treat, so we are planning to "randomly" intercept them in the park unbeknown to them. When booking, it looked like it was going to be a "scan...

    ERT......or lack of it!

    In the last month I have had some non generic responses. Before my last visit I dropped AT a line saying I was massively disappointed that The Smiler wouldn't be open and that was my reason for visit and I could not rearrange. I got two phonecalls from hotel duty managers discussing options and...

    ERT......or lack of it!

    the hotels and website still boast the early ride time is something for hotel and MAP guests only. I got so ticked off with it this time I visited, I've written a strongly worded letter and sent copies to various Alton Towers addresses (so I can be thoroughly ignored).

    How do you like your restraints?

    As I'm stupidly tall, anything over the shoulder feels tight whatever I do (Furios Baco damn near removed my trapezuis muscles) and lap bars have tocope with my seriously bent knees so they tend to be ball-crushingly tight too. The hazards for a big lad.

    Secret Weapon 7 Discussion

    Drove past a rather large pile of new track on the way out of the park today. Was going to stop for a picture, but didn't :S

    Queue line annoyances

    being made to feel like a queue jumper when grabbing a cup of tea in the queue for 13 while the missus stood in the queue. Tea was ordered while we were nearby, but the queue then surged forward. :-[

    Red Button Challenge...

    they had something like this in a bar in Newcastle when I was at Uni that they used during happy hour. You hit the button and it did a "wheel of fortune" style thing - prizes were such as two for one, half price, cheapest drink free, free round. It stil had full price on there too though. Was...

    Alton Towers Facts

    I was in there a few years ago, and there was only myself and my girlfriend and my brother and his girlfriend in the queue. We were getting pinged by stones for ages. Not having been in there before (at the time) and not hearing of the Most Haunted investigation, I assumed that it was all...

    Ride Sponsorship

    I'm not sure if it is still the case, is The Flume still sponsored by Imperial Leather? Was wondering what people thought about ride sponsorship? What products would go with what ride? How about: Polo Oblivion; The Ride With The Hole

    Scarefest 2012

    I thought it was pretty good myself. Fun, not very scary but well thought out use of space and well performed.

    Nemesis

    Even thinking about a run round Nemesis makes me smile. Last time me and the missus were at AT, we rattled down there and got the first run of the day, with only 2 other people. It was a slightly misty day, colder than you'd have liked, and hitting the drop the air really sucked from your...

    What if Th13teen had been themed to Ug Land?

    That's an interesting thought. Would Air have sat well in any other style? I always think of Nemesis and Air as ying and yang. The Frenzy and the Calm.

    I'd not fancy going into any of them in sandals or flipflops. Wellies maybe....

    Hotels...

    I think the idea for a 3rd hotel is a good one. I've stayed in both SLH and ATH a few times and I do like them both, and agree there is a certain magic about them. I think the staff are very good and the hotels are run very well. I think they could do with a bit of an overhaul, just to give a...
