nick1981nick1981

Off to Alton Towers tmrw - not been since i was a kid so looking forward to it.

We have been given a 2 for 1 voucher so hopefully will save a few quid.

Can anyone thats been recently give any tips to ensure the day doesn't become too expensive??

Is Parking free and also is it just 1 set price per adult for entry or do you also have to pay for extra things once in ????

    It's surprising what you can find with a quick search...

    Car Parking
    Car parking for guests visiting the Alton Towers Theme Park is £6 for all-day parking. To save time, why not try our Express Parking for quicker entry to the Theme Park.

    You want to be there right for opening at 9am .

    Then you can get on quite a few things straight away.

    After around 10:40 am the queues will already be about 60-90 mins on most of the big rides and it stays like this for most of the day till about 4:30 pm

    Get a fast track ticket. Trust me it works out cheaper.
    Everytime you wait over 2 hours for a ride you will wish you had fast track.
    You spend a little more for fast track but instead get to go on the rides you want to with a waiting que less then 15 minutes.
    I thought I was being clever and went on the single riders que later and thought it's going to be free, I come back to the que half an hour later to find that they have closed the que due to everyone storming on to it

    When I went to Alton towers a few weeks ago with my sister, we went on single rider queues. We just filled in spaces on rides and we only waited up to 3-5 minutes for rides like nemesis, air, thirteen etc. however, this mean you can't ride together.
    Also, we bought a drink bottle for £5 which you can refil with any soft drink for free at any stall which sells drinks. This was definitely worth it because a medium drink there is over £2

    Overall, you will have a great time- but if you want to queue up together as a group; be prepared to wait a while :D
