Quick Questions
Re: Quick Questions 2013
Well a look at the Alton Towers website shows that the shuttle bus will still run!
Yes the service resumes (admittedly greatly reduced). And I will no longer have to sacrifice the day to Legoland Windsor. I think you lot are awfully cynical for Alton Towers enthusiasts. Common sense first and rumours second, is what I say. Alton Towers will never cut off the shuttle bus service. It is vital for everyone that does not have a car (like me).

Re: Quick Questions 2013
Hardly convenient times though are they? 5am and 7am departures in the morning? And in addition they've, as expected, completely cut the Uttoxeter shuttle. Leaving the 32A to do nearly all of the work.

Re: Quick Questions 2013
Well, if they've altered the times for the remaining shuttles, that pretty much rules me out of applying to work there again...
Some of us live far away from Hanley/Uttoxeter and can't drive.
On a different note, I have a few questions.
My friend has an 18 month old son, and a group of friends were thinking we'd all go to AT and take the little one along. Is 1 and a half/2 years too young? What rides could we take him on?
Also, the Parent Q Share things, would we be able to use them, since technically there'd only be one parent there? I can't see there being a problem, but thought I'd check

Re: Quick Questions 2013
Agreed, I don't even want to know what the buses look like peak season! When I go to Thorpe Park or Legoland, there are buses going up and down for most of the day, and literally all of them are packed, even off-peak!

Re: Quick Questions 2013
Quick question, I probably should know the answer myself, however, I don't!
What is the best, cheapest method of entry to the park, for one day, for a non Annual Pass holder, who is accompanying an AP holder? Obviously, it's not going to be a case of getting hold of a '2-4-1' or 'BOGOF' as there's only one person needing entry. As such, I have only managed to find the MAP Friends & Family benefit, of decent quality.
Thanks!

Re: Quick Questions 2013
Maybe the bus operator got the service reduced. I wouldnt put it past any bus company to do that.

Re: Quick Questions 2013
So I'm looking to the towers on April 2nd. How busy should I expect it to be? At the very start of the holidays I can't see it being heaving?

Re: Quick Questions 2013
Sugar sticks! Was planning on going on Sunday - seems like I'll give it a miss now then and go on Friday or Monday. Friday may be the better of the two...
