I have been to Alton Towers a few times in my childhood, and on average once every few years in my adulthood. I have visited for three days in the last couple of months, having recently become quite addicted to the rides! I have no information about the history of Alton Towers - just that its been around for a long long ...  Read the complete review

Reading some of the reviews it seems that Alton Towers has got that Marmite factor off to a tee, you either love or hate it! I don't like Marmite but I do love Alton Towers! As a kid I never really bothered much with theme parks, a combination of fear and just general apathy I think. As I got older I always wanted to try ...  Read the complete review

We have been to Alton Towers ever since it was a field and a pirate ship (about 30 years ago) and it has always been fantastic. We went this week, before the school holidays started and sorry to say it was awful. The park is dirty and tired looking. There is litter everywhere and the floors are dirty in the restaurants. Parking is £5 per car, then ...  Read the complete review

Decided to pay Alton Towers a visit last year - as I hadn't been in ages, and was not disappointed! Firstly, if you want to have videos taken of you on certain rides, you need to pick up a wristband BEFORE you start roaming the park. This isn't explained that well at the entrance, and we only came across it after we'd already been on half of the ...  Read the complete review

Alton Towers on the hottest day of the year seemed like a good idea going into it. That was until we decided to queue up to to ride Rita as the first ride of the day. The sun was scorching, the queue was winding and it was the worst possible start to the day as this continued for about an hour and a half, with a nice neck tan building ...  Read the complete review

My only reservation with Alton Towers is that it takes so long and is so far away from Plymouth at nearly 250 miles, 3.5+ hours is the best I've ever done and was accomplished at 4.30am. Typical - I expected bad traffic queues around the M5/M6 interchange and there weren't any! It was originally owned by the Earl of Shrewsbury and ...  Read the complete review

I visited Alton Towers for the first time yesterday and I was very impressed. I went with my partner and 2 kids and think the day was enjoyed by all. The ticket prices are relatively high and along with this you do have to pay £5 a day for parking but it is fantastic as a treat and also you can exchange your tesco clubcard vouchers for tickets so ...  Read the complete review

Alton Towers is the 2nd most visited theme park in the UK and the 11th most visited in Europe. Recently the park has undergone quite a change in renaming many of the 'zones' around the park as well as introducing its latest major ride 'Rita' only a handful of summers ago. Anyway, the park is split into sections and each incorporates a ...  Read the complete review

Alton Towers is obviously the most famous theme park within the United Kingdom and for very good reason as far as I am concerned. I am going next month for only the 3rd time and I haven't even been on nemesis yet, my favourites being Air, Ripsaw and of course, who doesn't love the rapids or the duck log flume. The price can be steep if ...  Read the complete review

I think queuing can make or break your time at any theme park and Alton Towers do as much as they can to keep the queue times down and as ...  Read the complete review

I have been going to Alton Towers for years and love it more and more every time I go. I went to the new sealife centre earlier in the month and thought it was great and was really impressed with it. The ticket prices are quite high but once your in the park there is no additional costs for other rides like you get with some theme ...  Read the complete review

Alton towers is in my opinion one of the great theme parks in britain. You will be left with plenty to do and take in during a visit to the park. When first entering the park i was struck by the sheer size of it! It must be at least 3 times as big as thorpe park which meant much bigger rides. Oblivion is a must go on ride for all you thrill ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago there was an offer in the Sun newspaper where if you collected a number of tokens and sent them off they would send you two free adult tickets to Alton Towers. The catch was they would choose the date. My boyfriend and I gave it a go and got Tuesday 9th of June. Excellent we thought, the kids weren't off school so ...  Read the complete review

Alton towers is definitely my favorite theme park in the UK. The park is set in a lovely country environment with trees and lakes all around, making the park seem special. The rides are awesome, with revolutionary rides such as Oblivion which has a vertical drop, and Air which makes you feel like you are flying. Although Air can be ...  Read the complete review
