So this article from Blooloop on measures being put in place at Chinese parks that’s are re-opening states:
Theoretically applying that to Alton Towers you are looking at a cap of what 7,500 guests based on a 25,000 park capacity? Still seems quite high to me though but that could well be tweaked. Even in the realms of 5,000 you are in profit making territory for the park.
Encouraging people to bring their own food might also help but of course means less revenue.
Rides wise you would be looking at halving capacity by using every other row.

Several theme parks in China have also begun to reopen. Many Fantawild Holdings theme parks have now reopened with heightened safety measures in place. Fantawild Oriental Heritage in Jingzhou and Xiamen and Silk Road Dreamland in Jiayuguan are some of the parks that have reopened.
Temperature checks are in place at all entrances, and the visitor numbers will also be capped at 30%. All cleaning procedures have increased, and restaurants are providing single-use plastic cutlery in the restaurants.
Social distancing will be encouraged throughout the parks, with signs reminding guests to stay apart. Visitors will be seated in every other row on rides.
