Alton Towers (Staffordshire)

I have to say Alton Towers is awesome. I go every single year without fail. I love all the rollercoasters main ridesare the nemisis, Air, Oblivion,Spinball Whizzer and my favorite Rita. This one is brilliant it more or less throws you at break neck speeds (around 90MPH) all you can hear is everyone screaming but I cant help but laugh all the way round and the G-Force is so powerful.The Oblivion has a 100 foot vertical drop or there abouts and that over in seconds. There are plenty of toilets around incase you need to go after the rides. The only things I hate bout this place is paying £5 for parking(they make enough money as it is) and the ques Boring ! The nemisis is ...  Read the complete review

Alton Towers is the second best theme park in the uk after Thorpe park. The best rides are Air, Oblivion, Nemesis and Rita: queen of speed. Me and my family went to the theme park in the hieght of the summer; misstake number one. The ques were just way too long 2-3 hour for some of the rides and standing in the blitering heat with no drinks was mistake number two. The price of the food and drink was just way too much and really wansnt that nice either. If you have never been on a ride like Oblivion then make sure you go on it here. It is the stranges exspearince you will ever feel. But the bad thing about Oblivion is that it is jut over way to quick, its like a ...  Read the complete review

Alton Towers is a theme park, owned by the Tussauds group based in Staffordshire. From London can take up to 4 and a half hours to drive if roads are bad which is daunting, but if you live in Derby of which i now do, its around 20 minutes woop! Alton Towers has hotels for the people coming from afar, these are splash landings and the alton towers hotel. Both rather pricey. Much cheaper to stay in Stoke in a travel lodge or premier Inn. As a family we used to rent a farm house for approx £50 per night. If you can find farm houses these may be better deals for the family, and a good way to discover some of the staffordshire countryside too! TICKET ...  Read the complete review

Alton Towers is a theme park and resort located in the grounds of a former stately home in Staffordshire, England. The resort is in the village of Alton in the grounds of a semi-ruined gothic revival country house home of the former seat of the Earls of Shrewsbury. Alton Towers was opened as a theme park in 1980 with very few rides. The park was purchased by The Tussauds Group in 1990. The theme park in my opinion is the best in the UK and follows the styles for the main theme parks around the world with having different lands and has hotels to stay the night. The lands are: Towers Street This is the first area that visitors to the park ...  Read the complete review
