Advantages: Fun, loads to do, attrctions for both adults and children.

Disadvantages: Expensive, queues

Living quite close to Alton Towers, it is a common day out. Its a favourite of both adults and children and there really is somethign for everyone.

Its nearly always busy but I suppose everywhere you go is the same. There are also the really lovely gardens and walks in the woods if you like that kind of thing, its not for me but my fiance loves it. Some of the rides i think are a bit boring, such as the Hex...I do feel cheated I had to queue up for that but its part of the experience I guess.

The Nemisis and Rita are great to mention a few, also the rapids is a favourite of ours and the kids! On top of the rides there are loads of places to eat to accomodate different tastes and other amusements (even id they do cost more money).

My one major critism for Alton Towers is the price, it really quite expensive and although its is worth the money it does limit thing if you then want to buy other thing inside, especially if you have kids and they want drinks and candy floss and to play the teddy bear machines, etc.

Over all, Alton Towers is a lovely day out ad they alsop have seasonal attarctions, scarefest at Halloween (so much fun, quite scarey though!) and firework displays etc, and I think definitly worht a vist.

On a slightly seperate note, the hotels are also pretty awesome!

Summary: Great day out but expensive.
