Alton Towers Oktoberfest 2020

I don’t think they’ll change the smiler audio, I think it’s just them having a bit of fun.
I imagine we will get Towers Street music which will probably also play around the stage and paths. But the rides will stay the same.

I think you are overselling Thorpe, their setting is "next to an SBNO ride that looks awful"Alton Towers have a *way* better setting for such an event than "next to Derren Brown".

That actually looks really decent. Fair play to Towers and the ents department it looks very nice.
Not going to lie quite excited for the first new event in many years. I was recently looking back at how many events there was in the DIC and Tussuads era in compassion to now and was quite shocked how events have gradually dropped of the Alton Towers calendar. Hopefully if this goes well for them we may see some more extra events, personally I'd love them to do the summer spectaculars on the lake again!

I hope they sell no Bratwurst if they are £8.00 a time.
You pay £6.00 at Thorpe, £5.00 at a Christmas market and €3.50 abroad.
Unbelievable rip off from the traders they have brought in.
It's just as disgusting as the rip off merchants they get for fireworks.

£8 for Bratwurst, yikes!
There is no way a park in London should sell a sausage £2 cheaper than Staffordshire!

Immediately makes me think PretzelZilla should have been a thing.

From what I have seen so far, it looks like Alton Towers have made a brilliant effort with this event. I really hope that it is a success and returns in future years, not least because I would like to experience it myself!
Having said that, £8 for a bratwurst if correct is an absolute rip off.

Looks like the event is off to a good start! I guess it's lucky that they planned an event which could be easily altered with social distancing in mind.
I expected food prices to be inflated and £8 for a Bratwurst is a joke - I thought the Christmas markets were usually bad! Any news on if they are served with sides at least?
And what about the drink offerings? I've seen the steins which are designed well (though they only appear to be pint sized rather than the traditional two-pinter?). Hoping there's some good German beer on offer rather than the usual Carling/Stella offerings...
