Advantages: occassional festive season

Disadvantages: long queues

Alton Towers is a highly rated day out for all the family. The park itself is massive boasting some of the best rollercoaster rides in the country. For the more faint at heart there is a log flume, cable care, spooky house tour, gardens to walk around and childrens area. There are many restaurants and bars on site but not advisable just before any of the big ones! The prices stand at £32 for adults and £22 for children but if you book in advance online it is £24 and £16, well worth doing! (group and family discounts also apply). Queues can be long especially during peak times such as school holidays so go off-peak if you can but if not you can purchase fast track passes to jump the bigger queues or get tickets for certain time slots. Rides do breakdown but they have screens around the park informing you if this occurs also telling you approx. how long you should expect to wait at the bigger rides at certain times.Although I have only been to the main park they also have 2 themed hotels, a waterpark, golf and health spa, all details on website. From what I hear their festive celebrations are not to be missed too!
