Newest Review: ... my Merlin annual pass I went to find our for my self. The rides are a bit slow starting to start with but soon get going. The rides are for all ages, there are even some for Grandma and Granddad. With my pass I got to jump the queues on some rides, but even with the ones I queued for they weren't too bad and if you don't have a VIP pass or one of them you can buy, you can also look at using ... more

Alton Towers, is talked about loads, its a great place, so with my Merlin annual pass I went to find our for my self. The rides are a bit slow starting to start with but soon get going.

Alton Towers is arguably England's best known and best loved theme park.

The cost to get in to Alton Towers is £35 per adult with reductions for online or telephone bookings. There a ...
