ummm... was there any? to leave maybe?!?
Bad Points
Well it didn't help that the weather was not very good, but the fact that the maps were totally impossible to get on with and the fact that signs for the rides were what seemed to be non existent, I think I saw one "you are here sign". we spent our whole entire day wondering around because we were lost, we ended up in the same place twice, we couldn't find the rides such as Hex and Oblivion that we wanted to go on, we queued over 2 hours to go on air, and it was experiencing difficulties, so in total for our money we went on only 3 rides which I and our party found totally unreasonable.
General Comments
To be honest I will not be visiting Alton Towers again, we went there as it was my sisters 16th birthday, we expected queues but that was just unreal! I think the monorail was probably best the queues for that were reasonable!!!!

I can say Alton Towers still seem to be haveing problems with rides.
The queues are still as long as ever even with a priority pass the waits are still 35 mins very poor vaule for money.
Advise go to a driffrent theme park.
