Review of Alton Towers (England)

Alton Towers With a Toddler

Advantages: Plenty to do
Disadvantages: Not impressed with photographer

...Alton Towers with a Toddler I visited Alton towers yesterday and while this attraction has plenty for both grown ups and children I visited with my toddler son. I first visited Alton towers when I was a child myself and have experienced the big rollercoaster's such as Air and Nemesis but this visit was completely different so thought it would be useful to do a review of a family visit. Opening times The opening times do vary it was the rides were open from ten to five with last monorail back to the car park or hotel at 6pm. The website has a calendar for daily opening times. Cost Adult £37 Child £28. Family of three £83.10 Family of four £104 Family of five £126.50 Family of six £148.80 Disabled/ career £18.50 Children under 4 are free Car parking is £5 There are discounts...

Alton Towers!!

Advantages: Great day out
Disadvantages: Prices

...Wow...Alton Towers- For those who like that adrenaline Kick! Alton Towers is located in the village of Alton is Staffordshire. It took me 30 minutes to get there and I live in Stafford. I know lots of people come from all over the place to visit Alton Towers which explains just how good it is. There is plenty of rides, shops, events and food places here and it keeps us all entertained. The Best of the Rides... Oblivion- This is one of the most thrilling rides and I would not look down at the top as you are seated at the top of a huge drop! Rita- Also known as the queen of speed. This says it all to be honest, it reaches 0-100km/ph in 2.5 seconds!! Air- This ride is exhilarating as it tilts you on your front and you feel as if you are flying! Nemesis- This ride has been around for quite a while now and it takes you...

Alton Towers Theme Park

Advantages: Great rides, great selection of restaurants, great for all ages
Disadvantages: Expensive, huge queues, very large park (lots of walking!)

...device! Use these to travel from one end of the park to another (to save on lots of walking, especially for young children and parents with pushchairs or disabled visitors). I suppose it's nice to see a bird's eye view of the park! For that reason, a "7/10." If I were rating it as a ride, as Alton Towers call it, I'd have to rate it a "2/10", seeing as doesn't go fast or have any exciting element to it! Other Rides For Children I felt I couldn't give honest reviews for these rides purely for the fact I'm an adult and therefore didn't use these rides (clearly)! However, I must say Alton Towers caters well for children. There are many, many rides catered for them, with playgrounds and designated park areas. Visit the link to see the page for them: http://www.altontowers.com/theme-park/magic-young-fun/ I would imagine the queues aren...

Alton Towers

Advantages: Its so fun
Disadvantages: If youve got kids it can be hard to find a good time to go

...Im writing this review because todays Sunday, and on Tuesday Im going to Alton Towers for the third time in the space of a year and I cant wait so Ive got to keep myself busy or I might just go round the bend! When you get older life seems to lose its fun and excitment in place of responsibility and hard work, so I love feeling so excited about going. Its wonderful that something so simple and childish can give you such a massive rush. Firstly Id like to clear something up. Alton Towers gets negative reviews by annoyed parents who have to go only at peak times because of school. Alton towers is open to the public from March until October. Most people tend to go on bank holidays, half term and the summer holidays. Obviously these are the busiest times and therefore are the most expensive. My ticket for Tuesday is considered off peak...

Review of Alton Towers

Alton Towers, Park Of Laughs & Screams!

Advantages: Screamathon, Fast, Thilling
Disadvantages: Expensive, Pay for Parking

.... Based on a 50/50 split of adults to children (unlikely but useful as an example) they would make £416,500 in adult £29.75 ticket sales per day alone and £309,400 in child tickets costing £22.10. I believe on the figures I can find, that the Carpark can cater for 29,000 cars at any given time. Based on £4 per car that's £116,000 per day on car parking fees alone. I wasn't happy but it wasn't until I had enjoyed my day out that I saw the cost of the parking! The only thing which topped it was the additional Toll road fee I had to pay on the way back! I would recommend Alton Towers for a day out or a weekend trip, I loved it. The company and name also offers a Water park, Spa and Golf, however entry to these is different and they are separate attractions. There is also a Hotel on site with access to all their venues. http://www.altontowers.com/pages/home...

Review of Tussauds - Alton Towers

Alton Towers is the best big kids' playground!

Advantages: Amazing rides and great location
Disadvantages: Queues can be a pain, but are to be expected!

...I've been to Alton Towers now a couple of times, and both times I have had absolutely brilliant days out! The last time I visitied was a trip for my 21st birthday in June this year with my boyfriend, sister and her boyfriend. We stayed at the hotel the night before and arrived at the park on the monorail service from the hotel into the park. The monorail is an excellent service for hotel guests and those using the car parks - it is very frequent and takes you right into the park. We had already bought our tickets at the hotel to beat the queues (which were non-existent when we arrived). We paid £17.50 each with bogof vouchers (there are often offers to be had on Alton Towers entry, it's really never worth paying full price). After scanning our tickets we walked straight into the park to take advantage of the early ride time our...

Review of Alton Towers (England)

Alton Towers, fun, thrills, but take a picnic!

Advantages: Fun For all, loads to do
Disadvantages: expensive food, nothing to do in bad weather

...I have been to Alton Towers twice now with my other half, as part of a coach tour from Dundee. I will be reviewing the full experience of the theme park, and will review the other aspects of the package seperately. Now we paid £100 each for this trip, 2 days tickets, travel, and one night in a hotel in Derby, therefore, the price was not too bad if you divide it all up. The first time we visited last year, it rained all day on the saturday, and I mean rained. Everyone was walking round like gigantic blueberries in those ponchos that you get. I was wearing jeans that first time, and I would not recommend it, espescially if it ends up raining. The second time we went, I wore lightweight cargo trousers, so that they would dry off quicker. Theres nothing worse than sitting on a coach for 8 hours with wet jeans on!! The main...

Alton Towers

Advantages: Fun day out
Disadvantages: a little pricy

...Alton Towers is a fantastic day out for thrill seekers, it is quite expensive but you can get good discounts from the website. There is a variety of rides, and I went in the height of season and for some reason there was hardly any queues, not even on Air or Oblivion. Make sure you either take a clean set of clothes or go on a sunny day, as a few rides you do get wet on but its so fun. I had to keep my eyes closed on the oblivion as I am a little scared of rides, but love them too. Things are a little pricey, like the gift shop and burger bars but I guess that is like any theme park or ammusement park but I highly recommend going....
