Alton Towers (Staffordshire) Reviews

Okay first off I'm not a regular visitor to this park I've been on average once every year since I was 5. I most recently went last monday, April 1st. We arrived around 10:30 and it was already packed. The weather wasn't brilliant but was bearable. First problem was we had tokens that allowed us in 2 for 1 and this they did ...  Read the complete review

Once upon a time, way back in 1800, the 15th Earl of Shrewsbury looked across the grounds from his home at Alverton Lodge and had a vision. He improved the farm house, renamed it Alton Abbey, and set about creating magnificent gardens out of what was little more than a barren wilderness in the heart of Staffordshire, planning to create a leisure ...  Read the complete review

believe I can touch the skkkkyyyyyy.........let the story begin.... You wind your way through the little village that is Alton, admiring the countryside as you go, gasping beautiful Alton Castle on the hill. You arrive at 10.00am and join the long line of cars waiting to enter the car park at Alton Towers, upon getting out you rub the ...  Read the complete review

I'm going, as usual, to be controversial. I'm going to say that Alton Towers - the self-proclaimed UK's #1 Theme Park - is untidy, under-invested, poorly run and, compared to it's American counterparts, a disgrace. I'm not supposed to say that am I? The bosses at Alton Towers, who think that purely telling the visitor ...  Read the complete review

I have been lucky enough to have lived within an hours drive from Alton Towers, so is not a massive drive for me to get there. Even if you live as far as four or five hours the ...  Read the complete review

I can't really compare Alton Towers with any other theme park because it's the only one that I've been to. But I can tell you that it's bluddy great fun. I go there pretty much every year and I never get bored with it, because there are new rides every time I go. Although it does have some amazing rollercoasters and white-knuckle ...  Read the complete review

I went to Alton Towers in June 2000 so it might of changed now, but this is what it was like then: we arrived fairly early in the morning. I was amazed at the rides, but i soon noticed the queues. After going on many rides (which i queued for min. 15 mins), i got in the queue for The Oblivion. At first, i expected to be big, but i ...  Read the complete review

Alton towers is a great place. It is really easy to get to from the motorway, and there is loads of parking when you get there. The best ride is Nemesis. On Nemesis you are strapped into the train and your feet are left dangling. Oblivion is another good ride. On this ride you are suspended at the top of a vertical drop, before plumeting towards ...  Read the complete review

I was excited for days before, both unable to sleep and keep my anticipation from boiling over on the very mention of our day out. I physically counted the days off my calendar and couldn't hold it in for many more days without constant outbursts. All this and I'm nineteen, but I can still remember the seven or eight years previous when I ...  Read the complete review

I've been to Alton Towers a few times now and I've enjoyed each visit. It's become a bit of a tradition at my school that every year, we get a bit of light relief after our exams with a visit down to the Towers. Living in Scotland, the bus journey down is a bit of a nightmare, considering we leave at midnight and travel through the ...  Read the complete review

This is how it all started. It was Saturday afternoon. The time was about 2.00 PM. We were just cleaning our flat and all of a sudden my husband just came up'LETS GO TO ALTON TOWERS'. He made me jump, as it was unexpected. The only thing that we were worried about was time. By the time we reach there, it will be closing time. But my ...  Read the complete review

Coming from Scotland, the choice of Theme parks within easy reach is limited. So we carried out a militaristic operation to arrange two cars, four adults, one 4 year old, and a baby to travel to Alton Towers. We stayed at the Alton Towers Hotel (see my review in that section) the night before going in the park, so were keen to get to bed early, ...  Read the complete review
