Sorry for asking yet another question, but is Octonauts' top speed known, out of interest? Wikipedia says 28mph, but I'm not personally sure if that's true or not.
P.S. Sorry for double posting!
 
Hello,

Ive got an Alton Towers annual pass, not a season pass, can you buy a ticket for someone who hasn't got one for something like £15? sure i read it somewhere.

Ive looked on the towers website, but cant see anything.

Thanks
 
Technically that offer is for season pass holders only.

Whether the staff would care/know the difference is another matter.

You can use it. I've had confirmation from the powers that be. Drop me a message if you need any reassurance. :)

What's the difference between a season pass and an annual pass? Cost? Exclusions?

Both, really.
The main difference is that an annual pass is valid for a year feom date of purchase, while a season pass is valid until the end of fireworks that year, nomatter when you buy it.

Thanks, can you not buy the ticket before you go, or do you have to go to the kiosks on the day? queues etc. And is it £15?

You need to buy the ticket online, on the website. It's there if you search for it but the link I have doesn't work when I send it to people, for some reason. Select to print at home (downloading it and having it on your phone is also fine), then just walk up to the turnstiles and scan the barcode. It is indeed £15. :)
 
Most SRQs were removed at the beginning of 2018. This was due to people abusing the system according to Towers. Hopefully Towers can return them in the future!

Also, I have a random question to ask; excluding the Spaceboat, which was installed back in 1983 and only lasted 1 season, would Nemesis Sub-Terra be Alton's shortest lived attraction, having only lasted for 3 years if it doesn't reopen? I'm hopeful it will, though the building's use for Project 42 is slightly worrying for Sub Terra's future, I must admit. I'm sure they'll reopen it next year, though, but that's besides the point of my question!

Acording to Towers, we all wanted them removed.

Makes sence as it was more like a que skip system loop hole

I went a few weeks ago but it does look like ramping It up for the next bout

Or even scarefest

Did towers ever officially give a reason?

Or as a side effect of costcutting according to reality.

The TS ride register lists several short-lived attractions that didn't last as long as N:ST, including the Magic Carpet, Tri-Star and Nickelodeon: Outta Control

Ah yes, I forgot to check the Ride Register. Thanks @John!

I could have sworn they told someone in a Facebook comment/Twitter reply.
