Oktoberfest marketing seems to be kicking into gear, and with that comes the news there will be an ‘Alton Towers Beer’ this year.

No that's yet another typo, with Alton Bear's successful summer of fun appearances this summer, it's just him performing on one of the stages.Oktoberfest marketing seems to be kicking into gear, and with that comes the news there will be an ‘Alton Towers Beer’ this year.

Looks like it’s the usual chaos today of an inset day, everyone thinks they will beat the crowds by visiting today.

Same every year, same as how Bank Holiday Monday is traditionally dead whereas the Tuesday is jammed. I know people who have stood in a two hour queue for Wicker Man and insist "it would have been three hours yesterday."

Today would make far more sense as a blackout day than most bank holidays.

I wonder if tomorrow will be the same. Heading there tomorrow so going to expect the very worst and try to make the best of it.

I’d agree it seems like they may be selling off some old Duel pieces. With the term “duel for it” referring to bidding maybe. Not sure why they deem it necessary to make a whole announcement on their main socials about it though? Maybe it is more than meets the eye.
