Alton Towers live queue times
Live queue times for all rides at Alton Towers, updated directly from the park. Find the longest and shortest queues here, instantly.queue-times.com
This is the best thing to have ever happened to this thread and should have been done years ago!It seems the latest update to the Alton towers app has removed viewing of the queue times unless you are on park!
All the other merlin apps have had an update as well but queue times are still visible on theirs.
Potential oversight perhaps? If so I can see that functionality going too when they realise they haven’t switched it off in the list view.Fear not, there is a way to view them on the app, if you go to the map, then click the list option in the left hand corner it will show all the rides and attractions and queue time. Just not in any real order. You can also filter type of ride on the right.

How does Queuetimes.com get its data? Is there an API direct from the app or is there another source?

I've disabled auto update for the apps on my phone. They never update unless I click them either so looks like I'll be able to see queues still. As for why they've done it, you can assume it's to hide poor availability that people have complained about all season. Bit embarrassing that it's resulted to towers trying to hide their availability because they know how poor its been. Typical towers tbh. It's not a Merlin problem either as Towers is the worst run out of the merlin parks by far.
Why do parks do it though? What do they gain from it? It doesn't matter who can see queue times surely. There's no logical reason to hide themIt’s not uncommon though, Europa Park geo-lock their queue times on the app.
Equally why would people not at the parks need to see the queue times? There is no logical reason to show them. Queue times are relevant to those guests at the theme park.Why do parks do it though?
