Christmas Season 2024

I was under the impression that Alton Towers were aiming for 365 operations with their ride additions including Project Horizon.

An article has mentioned this as well although take with a grain of salt: https://blooloop.com/theme-park/news/alton-towers-plans-year-round-theme-park/

Having read the article in the Stoke Sentinal, its not Alton Towers aim. The local council want more visitors year-round and think working with AT would help so that. https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/alton-towers-could-open-365-8274181. Its nothing really, they are just trying to get businesses to invest in things that would drive tourism in the off-season. If Alton Towers were truly aiming for this, they wouldn't have closed one of their main winter options, the spa.

I'm not bothered by 365 openings. They can barely manage current seasonal operations.

I would rather see the main season sorted and an expanded Christmas/November/December event explored, including the opening of a coaster or two (Wicker Man and RMT, for example).
