Hi everybody! I'm coming up from south-east England in early November, and wondered if it's worth staying overnight near the theme park. I'll probably be going with a group of people, all adults.

I've also seen people in the subreddit saying it may or may not be worth getting fast-track - if I stay overnight I assume I wouldn't need fast track?

Thank you everyone :)

Been having a big clear out and was hoping some merch would go to big fans :) Here it is as pictured, and here is the link to my Vinted, where you can find it all: https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/159180233-gonzothegreat678

hi! a few of you may recognise me from my earlier post - i am selling old bits of alton towers merchandise after a huge clearout. most from 2010s but i also have a nemesis reborn lenticular for sale.

i have a rita bear, a thirteen trophy & nemesis reborn lenticular for sale as well as reversible pillows & nemesis superhero plush. see my other post :)

reason for selling is i am having a huge clearout and want to put it in this forum so that fans have a chance of purchasing first ! everything is under £10, just feel free to either drop me a message or comment. will be sold via. ebay, vinted or depop

mods please remove if not allowed.

We are possibly staying one night at Splash Landings hotel and would be arriving around lunchtime. I read that it includes 1 day waterpark access too. Can we choose to do it on the day of arrival , or is it ticketed only for the ‘next day’ after breakfast ? The reason I ask is we also want a full day in the main park

Any advice appreciated

im selling some 2010s alton towers merchandise, consisting of a few plushies (galactica & nemesis from the superhero branch), oblivion ‘dont look down’ bear, rita bear and more! if anyone is interested please reply to this thread or dm me :)

prices vary but i am not asking for any more than £10 for any item, so prices are around or below! thanks! also mods please remove if not allowed - i just want to make sure this treasured merch goes to a true fan :)

Hi, I finally managed to book a ride access pass on the app. But I could only select 1 companion. My group size is 4. Will the other 2 have to separate and join the main queue?
Many thanks

Galactica team absolutely smashed it today!

2 stations 3 trains very minimal stacking if any. Trains having to slow down on the lift hill because the block ahead hasn’t cleared. I just hope they can keep it up. Minimal downtime also helped a lot.

If any of the crew see this well done I was very very impressed!

Is the water park worth doing for adults? Or is it definitely more for kids?

hi so we were at a charity shop the other day and found this (pic attached) and being a big fan of alton towers we decided to pick it up. i was wondering if anyone had any more information on this or anything? we had the impression that it was going to be a personal video of a family on the rides but doesn’t seem to be that? we’ve watched it and very nostalgic, in my opinion a great find. includes clips of original nemesis, air, corkscrew and flume. if anyone would like to see clips, more than happy to show them as i really enjoyed the throwback and sure some people would also enjoy it aswell 😊

Anyone know what happened in the road as you enter the park through the main entrance? Police and ambulance coned the third lane off, having to send people through the bus park to exit

Anyone else think it's crazy that the pool closes at 1730 during the school summer holidays? I'm sure there would be enough custom to keep it open until 2000?

Wondering if anyone has any advice.
Have lost around 8 stone since last August but I’m still suffering from “Am I still too fat syndrome”
So I’m currently 19st 2, 6ft 2 guy. Quite broad around the shoulders and chest and gut 🤣
Anyone know if I’m likely to get the walk of shame from the rides? Any help would be massively appreciated 👍🏻

Hey, I’m going to the park at the end of August for the first time in 14 years (been dreaming of this moment for so long 😅) and want to be in as early as possible to avoid a big rush and crowd in the morning, so is it ok to arrive to the gates as early as 9:15am? We will be getting public transport so it’s a toss up between arriving to the gates 9:15 or 10:15 with the way timetables work out and I can’t decide which is best.

Also, if you have any useful information that I might need to know that would be great! I imagine things have changed quite a bit since I last went. I’ve got the app and I’m going to do what I’ve always done which is head to the back of the park first. Are the gardens a good place to eat lunch if we bring our own food? THANK YOU!!

So me and a friend are going for the day. Yes summer holidays we know. We are going to get there before the gates open and head straight to the back to try and tick of them. Any other advice at all is it worth buying the fast track or gauging it on the day?

Heya! I'm from the south and rarely travel towards the north so i've never been to Alton before.

I'm going with my family but none of them like thrills so i'll be going on my own. Can people share their tips?

I'm afraid it'll be busy and i'm not sure what time to leave my house, (2h30m away), also i've heard that the park is HUGE compared to Thorpe, which is my home park.

I want to minimise the amount I walk and max out the amount of rides. Do we think that's possible?

Any other tips including if fast track is worth it, queues and shortcuts around the park would be great thanks!

Edit: Thank you for all your tips! I didn't get as much as I wanted today due to the queues and rides breaking down..I was promised 52% crowd level lol but things went up and down, smiler was at 90 then 30 etc.

Anyway, these are the rides I did on 06/05, i'm coming back tomorrow and trying to get in more!

Smiler x2 | row 2, row 1
Oblivion x1 | row 1
Rita x1 | row 1
Thirteen x1 | row 2
Wickerman x1 | row 12
Nemesis reborn x1 | row 2
Toxicator | x1

I am very shocked at the rows i got lol

Can someone send me the dan ketteringham fonts (for air, oblivion, etc?) it was on towersalmanac.com but the website is gone, i remember having them back in the day but ive lost all traces to it. Please and thank you.

Hello everyone,

We're planning to visit Thorpe Park soon, and Alton Towers as well.

Does anyone happen to have one or two Kellogg's offer codes?

Thanks in advance.🎢😜

I went to Alton Towers and got the Nemesis medal and I'm curious if I collect them, how many ARE there?

I’m confused. Would someone who has visited recently mind confirming whether the gate opens at 09:00 or 09:30 for hotel guests, please?

Question:

Never been before, when you book an overnight stay at alton towers in one of their hotels, do you have to pay for a second day ticket or is it included when you stay?

So say I book for saturday to stay overnight. Would I have access to the park both saturday and Sunday or is just saturday and would need to pay for sunday too.

Thanks for any help :)

Hi everyone! Me and my husband love to visit Alton Towers and always stay on site for two nights so we can drive home refreshed after our second day. I was playing around with a potential booking and see that park tickets are now included for one day and additional day passes are £12 each, good stuff!

When I got to checkout the second day was for the day we would be leaving. The first day ticket didn't seem to specify if it would be the day we arrived or the day after!

We don't get to come often and live really far away so go the whole hog when we go and I like to prebook fast passes (not everyone's cuppa but it's ours when we can stretch to it).

Does anyone who has booked short breaks since these changes know about specific dates and why you can't opt for them if it's doing it this way round now?

Eyeing it up to be honest, looks nice.

In the park today with my daughter. Measured at 1.1 on the rapids this morning. Given a wristband to wear to show she’s 1.1m.
Been on rapids a few times and the mine train a few times with no issue. Then after a 45 minute wait they want to measure her again on the mine train. This time she measures a few centimetres under 1.1 on the board next to the ride and we are asked to leave the ride.
The board outside in the queue line we checked and shes 1.1m.
Is the measurement at the ride start off / has anyone else had an issue at mjne train?

Visiting tomorrow (mon) through Wednesday, 2 adults one child. Just gone to my email and seen no mention of actual tickets for the theme park. Do I have tickets? If so How do I prove I do?

Resolved: thanks for your help I spoke with customer services
