Well this was my first fireworks since 2015 and I was very much looking forward to it. I hadn't missed a day of fireworks since they restarted in 2010, but missed both days of last year due to the ticketing farce. I can safely say story/audio wise this was the worst Alton Towers display I have...

Just as a follow up, collected my pass without a single issue on the 15th September - cheers Merlin!!

Thanks for your replies folks. Just purchased it at the renewal price online - went straight through! Not sure when I am next at Alton but will hope to get there soon and let you know how I get on!

Haven't posted for a while but just wanted to ask something about MAPs. Have had one for a good six or seven years but let it expire in May as I wasn't impressed with the cuts/new attractions for 2017 - I have only been once this year! However with Scarefest/Fireworks and SW8 looming I am...

It's been a while since I posted here, but reading the majority of this thread I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Merlin have always had a unique way of demanding money at every opportunity, but now you get even less for your money than before! To summerise before I drone on...

Yes struggling to find it so this makes sense. tbf I can't really afford it at the minute anyway and was just gonna throw it on my credit card but never mind, it's only an hour drive to get home and save £60+ haha Thanks to all for your responses!

Where about in the booking process did you enter the code? Was it online? Can't seem to find any place to enter the code online, though it may of gone!

Really interested with what they do with the area. I believe they can only follow the existing track layout in the woods? Is the Courtyard Bar & Grill deffo closed for 2016? I was gonna suggest an absurd idea that they could flatten the whole area and re invest in Mutiny Bay, but then that...

Mum said she caught the end of this earlier today, but Portillo's Railway show finished at Alton Towers, about twenty minutes onwards! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06vpgd9/great-british-railway-journeys-series-7-5-ashley-to-alton Listen out for the dubbed RollerCoaster Tycoon stock...

Hmmm no Hex. Think of the Scare maze possibilities!

Feel free to shoot me down, but I saw a tweet this morning from Alton responding to someone asking if they had much maintenance planned over the winter as the park was looking tired, empty shops and vending machines... Alton's response was yes, and that the empty vending machines were due to a...

Made my first ever Fright Nights visit yesterday, after hearing about it over the years its safe to say I was looking forward to it. With 4 hours sleep in the bag and annual pass in hand we set off at 6am, the first thing I notice it Venus, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in close correlation -...

Managed to ride it on 16th August when I went - I was so lucky. It was shut when I got there but you could see they were testing with staff throughout the day. It had been a terrible day for rides, we'd been there 3 hours and not got on anything due to storms even avoid a parking charge due to...

Interesting, I don't like Ripsaw to ride personally but I do think it is an icon and would rather see it move than be removed! There have been an awful lot of trees cut down to the back of Oblivion... this could just be regular/needed maintenance on the wood land, or clearing room for...

Went to Alton for the first time in five months yesterday, was nice to return on such a quiet day! Anyway, to the poit of my post... As we were being dispatched for our third go in a row on Spinball, the one female operative was speaking to another and said "They are having another baby ride...

The only IP I would accept is "Luigi's Mansion". ;) I'd rather Alton spruced up the likes of Gloomy Wood and the Flume before moving onto their next big coaster, or indeed make big changes to Forbidden Valley. Imagine the queues with three coasters there!

The park maps have been updated!

"Lola's Moonsquirters" - sorry, I found that unnecessary rude and funny!

Sounds an easy job in theory, however the self control you must need to not show up the people with the idiotic comments would be incredible. I know I'd let slip at least once over a season!!

Many thanks! :)
