Quick Questions

[Jonathan]

I have a question regarding Fireworks. My ATAP runs out in August, so I'll be renewing it then and getting my Fireworks pre-books sorted. Would I be cutting it a bit fine leaving it until then, or would I probably be OK? Chances are that I'm overthinking it as per usual.

Previous years, they only really start selling (out) during Scarefest. But that was when it was 3 days. This year it is only 2, so they could sell out sooner if everyone has the same idea knowing that there are less tickets available so they book early!

If you bought them now with your old pass, as long as you have a valid one on the day to get into the park, I think that is ok. May be worth contacting Towers for official confirmation on that!

It's been extended to three days of Fireworks as of earlier this morning.

Yes just seen a notification for that post in the 2025 General discussion!! I should've read that first

I'd still be tempted to buy them now on your old pass, if Towers confirms you can then get in with a new one on the day! Better be safe than sorry - as you don't want to miss the fireworks. Even if they are half as good as last years they'll be epic (nothing will top last years in my opinion!)

RAP for the Friday have now gone, literally as soon as it was confirmed

You won't have an issue pre-booking for Fireworks in August. It may sell out but probably only a few days in advance. Don't worry about it!

Ok, so after you kindly helped me with my first trip to alton with my daughter I'm hoping I can pick your brains again.

She wants to go back and hit the bigger coasters hard this time, therfore quieter the better....however it will have to be either a weekend or a week day in the summer hols, so its not going to be that quiet ....il also have to plan it a few weeks in advance due to weekend plans or leave from work so won't have the ability to wait for the weather forecast

Appreciate this isn't going to be a precise science but does anyone have a view on what would be better I.e. weekend or weekday and if so which one sat or sun.... early, mid, late weekday.....early in the hols / end of the hols for lower queues?

Thank you

If you want my advice, I would honestly go for a Sunday earlier in the holidays. I went on Sunday 28th July last year, and it genuinely wasn’t that busy at all; on a day where I arrived after ride opening and left before ride close, I managed 12 rides. Rides like Oblivion and Nemesis had very short queues at points.

I may well be going on a similar day this year and am hoping for similar success if I do…
