    Alton Towers Theme Park - Staffordshire Whenever I hear the name Alton Towers I am instantly turned into a giddy little boy with wide eyes and a beaming smile. I simply love the place! My first visit to Alton Towers was at the age of ten, since then I have been back around twenty times. When I was young it was an exciting day out with my family and then as I got older it became a yearly pilgrimage with a variety of my closest friends. Over the years I have done pretty much everything there is to do at the theme park, a few years ago I seemed to inherit the nickname ‘Mr Alton Towers’ whenever ... more

    5 Stars A trip to the Towers. Review with images 23/08/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Something for everyone.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's losing it's magic.

    **BEWARE** This is a long review. However I have divided it up so you can hopefully find the particular information that you are after if you don't fancy reading all the way through. ***HISTORY*** There is far to much that has happened over the years at Alton to write it all down here. Plus there are some fabulous websites, which I shall add at the end where you can find out all about the history, legends and stories from days gone by. So I'll just quickly bring you up to date. The Towers spent many years being passed down the Talbot family, who were all the Earls of Shrewsbury. 15th Earl of ... more

    5 Stars a thrilling day out Review with images 19/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fun, fun, fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive when you pay the full price, unfriendly staff

    I bought some vouchers for Alton Towers with my Tesco clubcards points months ago and was waiting for a chance to take a day of and go during the week (to avoid the queues) but as I decided that this will never happen, I went at the weekend and took the risk. We went by car. Alton Towers is near Stoke on Trent, in Alton. There are signs everywhere, so it's quite easy to find. You pay either £6 or £4 depending which parking place you take. The first one is £6 so keep going to one of the later ones! You can pay the parking in many kiosks or paystations in Alton Towers. Now you have to remember ... more

    Advantages Advantages Thrilling rides, easy navigation, did i mention the rides!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive but most theme parks are

    I went to alton towers for my girlfriends' mates' birthday... it rained most of the day and although it was a weekday it was very busy. It was still THE best theme park ive been to (and yes I have been to other theme parks). It is open 9.30am - 7pm (this is based on when I went in August) the rides open at 10am and the park closes on the 5th November. Entrance fees are expensive, Adults are £29.50, children (4-11) are £19, under 1m are free (which should be changed to under 4s) and disabled and senior visitors are £14.50. Groups of 10+ are £14.75 each. There are many ways of getting cheaper ... more
