Can't wait till I can drive... have to rely on my dad, who actually doesn't like Alton towers.
Best bet is pretty much tuesdays to thursdays in any week I think. It's a sweeping rule across most parks, these days are the least busy because people tend to work mid week, even during the holidays. Other then that, I believe it'll be pretty much the same sort of crowds most of the holidays, but these days during the week tend to be the least busy.

Should be quiet. Weeks running up to Scarefest usually are. Not sure precisely on queue times but I would say 30-45 minutes max for the very major attractions, depending on what's open.5th of October...
Got a PD day at school, and would like to take a friend. It's a Monday. Few days before scarefest. Other schools don't have it off. Is it a good idea to go that day, and how long would queues be?
Thanks!

From experience last year, I was there 3 days before Scarefest, it was so quiet there came a point where I physically couldn't ride another coaster I had been on them that much.5th of October...

I'll be visiting sometime at the end of August. Just by looking at the queue times website, I'm not really expecting huge queues for rides

My visit today, everything was walk on bar a 5 minute wait for Rita on front row at 11, Air was a 5 minute queue and later advertised as 10, Spinball and various CBeebies rides peaked at 50, and food stalls just aren't being staffed, so less upsellers and more ride time. Win win for the consumer of present, oh no for the wallets and marketing department of Towers enthusiasts and workers in the future.
