- If we are staying on site, but have booked our park tickets through Tesco vouchers, are we eligible for Early Ride Time? I thought that being a hotel guest alone entitled you to ERT, but my parents seemed to think otherwise, thinking that you needed to book a ticket package with the room to get ERT.
- When we last stayed on site in 2022, we got some pizzas through room service. Is this still an option? With Aramark having taken over F&B and 2022 still having been somewhat in the throes of the “COVID” era, I did wonder if this might have changed.

I’m now unexpectedly finding myself staying on resort on 26th/27th July. It’s my first on-site stay since 2022, and resultantly, I have a couple of questions regarding the current on-site hotel situation. These are:

For the first part, I would say it's simply being a hotel guest that lets you get in for ERT and the Galactica Entrance as there's passholders who'd not need a ticket package either.I’m now unexpectedly finding myself staying on resort on 26th/27th July.

The app suggests takeaway pizzas are currently available from Ma Garrita’s in Splash between 3pm and 10pm. I would imagine this is also likely to be the case during your dates with it being peak summer season.

Thank you all for the answers!
As it turns out, my mum and dad were keen to look off-site and have booked a table at a pub in Alton that none of us have ever tried before, so that should be interesting!
That sounds like a very good decision.

Hi first time poster!
Just wondered if anyone knows why Fast Track passes and Express parking isn’t available for fireworks?
Do they not bother for this? Thanks in advance
Express parking is converted to disabled parking for fireworks to caterer for larger guest numbers.
Not sure about fastrack. They might just be releasing it closer to the time.
(And welcome to the forum)
Last year they didn’t put fastrack on sale for Scarefest/fireworks until near the time - and was accompanied by a jump in price. Wouldn’t be surprised if they wait to see how the Summer goes, before deciding how much to increase the price for a last push towards their targets (knowing that on the weekends in particular they will sell out).
Thanks for the advice everyone.Hi first time poster!

Will wait and see with the re-mortgage form at the ready for when they go live!
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but had a quick question.
Looking to go to Alton Towers soon but trying to find a quiet day. Currently looking at Wed 8th October. My thoughts are during the week, schools are all in and before Halloween. However, website is saying Scarefest begins late September?
Is the above date a safe bet, i know there is no guarantee but just want to make sure im not missing anything obvious.

As a normal ticket holder, is it still worth going to Nemesis first, given there is now ERT?
You won't be able to access FV until 10am as they block it off.
What time do the monorails start?
I believe it begins at 8am.
