“Great place”
Written on: 07/01/2013 by ripoffbritainrules (1 review written)
Alton towers is great and its like stepping nack in time to your childhood when you go there. The last time we went was in the summer last year and it was swarming with wasps, so much so we just couldn't enjoy the day. I think they should look at seriously dealing with this for next summer as it will put people off. I noticed there were a few wasp traps around but the werent doing much. They were even inside the eating areas and our kids were freaking out slightly. Everything else was... (read more)

“It's amazing!”
Written on: 02/11/2012
Alton towers is great, I would recommend it to anyone. There are so many amazing rides there and are totally worth queuing for. The only things which is average it the queue times. You can be queuing up for ages for some of the bigger rides like Air, Nemesis and Oblivion. But all the rides are really worth it however you can get fast passes if you didn't want to queue. There is something for everyone which is why it has turned into an annual thing for me and family. I am now planning to go... (read more)

I recently contacted alton towers for some further information about tickets by phone.

I visited the park on the scarefest preview weekend. I left my house at 6.30am and got back home at 1.30am but it was worth it! I've been a few times and every time I go there's something new - Love it! It can be very expensive but I only go when I have 241 vouchers and when I can get a full car (living 170 miles away)! The queueing times can be long so the few extra hours at this time of year can be really beneficial! and the scarefest attractions are amazing! So well done! I didn't pay the... (read more)

“An Insult To Mexican Food”
Written on: 08/06/2012
I'm no Gordon Ramsay but I know what a fahita is meant to look and taste like- and this was simply pathetic. The chicken was bone dry; the onions were under cooked; the wrap was limp, and with no form. The potato wedges as a side dish were heavily over seasoned, and salty. There were meant to be nachos with my meal but after what I had seen and tasted I wanted no more. The meal looked nothing like the one in the display picture. I love Alton Towers- but if they want to cook more than burgers... (read more)

I absolutley love alton towers as there is always plenty to do and you will never get bored. There are rides for kids and rides for thrill seekers so it is a win-win situation. The new ride, nemesis sub-terra is a must do though not for small children as it is scary as hell but when you run out its really fuuny. My favourite ride in nemesis as it's raelly fast and has loads of twists and loops. i like oblvion as well,the scariest part is going up and hanging over the edge. Rita is awesome... (read more)

I have been to Alton Towers 4 times now (soon to be 5) and every single time I have not been let down. The last time I went was April 2012 and I thoughrily enjoyed myself 100%. People complain about prices and everything but a tiny amount of effort quarters prices. Because of a nice Tesco vouchers deal, my brother and I got in for a total of £23. The only reason why people feel ripped off is because they haven't even tried to get deals. As for the rides, they are excellent. Have never had a... (read more)

I have always wanted to go to Alton towers, I've been told its the best in England, but haven't had the chance as its quite far away. I have been to Thorpe park and Legoland frequently as they are conveniently situated. So finally we planned to go and I was very very disappointed. Thorpe park is much much better.

a trip worth paying for, but the cost is extremly high, for food, and just to get into the park is high enough, so i suggest bring a picnic, but the food is nice if you dont. thirills- i rode all! Nemesis- nemesis was my favourite, its an upside down one, and usally, does not have too much of a queue. do this BEFORE lunch! this is a white- knuckle ride, so if your not a thrill seeker, i suggest maybe not to try, but, its way isnt as fast as it seems. if you have rode infusion at blackpool...

Unfortunately we unwittingly arrived on the biannual travellers gathering :@ We left the terror of the towers queue because of all the pushing in, we'd waited about 45mins and didn't have any more time. It was very intimidating being totally surrounded by them especially for the children in the queue. They were having a great time laughing and mocking people who asked them not to push in, the staff couldn't do much as they were trying not to provoke them, the police told us there were...

We were in a party of 18 on the 16-10-11 & we experienceced the same problem people trying to cue jump and were back chatting to us & even threatend us, The worst part of it was they blocked the exit near the castle for everyone & made near impossible to leave then they kicked off with people & even the police didn't want to know. I think this is a total disgrace & think that the Alton Towers authorities should have done more about this discraceful situation

I was there yesterday and couldn't believe how awful it was, I didn't see any fighting or overt behaviour but it was a scary feeling and I have never experienced that at any theme park before. Seems like the company are more interested in the money than the people they let in

I was there yesterday as well and agree that the some of the people were a bit intimidating, just thought I was a bit out of touch with how people are etc but it does all make sense. I didn't see any fighting or overt behaviour but it was rather scary,the operators of the park must realise that it is a family attraction, little kids should not be scared it should be a good experience for everyone. Seems like they are more interested in the money than who they let it

5 members of my family and I arrived at the Alton Towers plaza at 10am on a Sunday morning during the busy summer holiday period suspecting long queues. We were pleasantly surprised to find that queue times for rides such as Oblivion, Nemesis, Air and the Flume were between 10-15 minutes wait maximum throughout the day, and we even managed to get 4 goes each within 20 minutes on Sonic Spinball by using the single rider queue, which I thought was an excellent way of avoiding the 45 minute...

“Great Rides, Long Walks, Long Queues. ”

Took my 16 year old and my 18 year old last month (june 2011). Purchased 2 for 1 tickets on ebay, so the cost would be £80. Arrived 10am, parked the car which was a long walk away (approx 20 minutes). We were well surprised to see the "very long" queues (waiting time approx 1-2hours minimum). A man and his daughter approached us while we were in the queue. They offered us 3 tickets for £80 because their friends/family could not make it there. I gave them £70 mostly because we did not...

Myself, my husband, my sister-in-law and my two children aged 10 and 7 vistied Alton Towers on Thursday 14th July. This was supposed to be the highlight of our holiday but unfortunately I felt it was far from that. We paid £107.00 for our tickets which included parking. We arrived at approx 10.30am and access to the park was fine as we used the monotrain with no problems. For the first ride which I think was Sonic the queue was ONE HOUR which I thought was appalling but to my horror worse... (read more)

You do realise that the reason you didn't like it is because probably becasue you hardly went on even Sonic Spinball. Hadn't you been on Nemisis, Air, Oblivion or Rita? I think you just had a bad day as Alton Towers is rated as one of the best in the world nowadays. Go on a 'proper' thrill ride, prepare to spend a lot of money and buy fastrack tickets (To skip the queue) and you should have on eof the best days out in Britain

My first visit in 2 years. I payed more than £100 for 4 of us to go. This being bad enough the queues were TERRIBLE and then on top of that the queues are so slow at moving that you are basically made to buy fast track. This place so called the best day ever, was not. After not having the best of starts we headed over to Thirteen as it was hyped up to be the "ULTIMATE coaster", well I will tell it is probably the one of the worst coasters I have ever been on and it is not worth the queue...

“Great day out”
Written on: 07/07/2011
Had a great day out, going on lots of the rides due to short Q's. My only real complaint is the £6 charge to park the car. My top tips would be to buy your tickets on line and look for the offers there usually is one. Get there for 10am as soon as the gates open and plan which rides you really want to go on and work your way from the other side of the park and as the day goes on make your way to the exit.

Haven't been there for 18 years. Returned last Sunday. There has been very little investment in that time; signing is terrible and the paper map is hopeless. And for God's sake why not open 8am - 8pm instead of just cramming 1000s of hapless people into the same place at the same time (10 - 5.50). They should be embarrassed and we must be suckers in this country! (read more)

Overall, the rides are great. Oblivion, Air, Nemisis and Rita are the best ones. Don't be too worried if you don't fancy waiting in the inevitable queue for Thirteen, it's not worth more than a 20 minute wait. I've been to Alton Towers regularly over the years and have always enjoyed it - however I have noticed over time that the friendliness and professionalism of the staff there has fallen dramatically downhill. Some of them are borderline rude. They are also very unaccommodating - for... (read more)

Here is a tip to save you money if you decide to go back. If you have a nectar card and you have enough points to cover the entry fee you won,t have to pay to get in. This will save you a lot of money.

Forgot to mention the points are worth double the value so instead of £2.50 off for 500 points you get £5.00 off the entry fee for every 500 points you have on your nectarcard

Bit of a disappointment if I'm honest. Queues are too long, and the rides aren't that good. Maybe I'm getting old but I just didn't enjoy it.
Prices are what I'd desribe as fairly expensive but not outrageous. But considering I spent half the day queueing I felt slightly ripped off.

Alton Towers Resort is expensive to get in, if you pay at the gate.(Think of all the employees you see on the park, and the employees behind the scenes, how do you think they get paid?) You can buy your tickets online for a fraction of the cost. Also, if you need to draw money out, don't do it on the plaza before you go into the park, as the machine will charge you. There are free cash machines once you get inside the park. The fast track tickets are a bit expensive, but worth it if it is a... (read more)

We paid over £30 per person to spend the day at the park and enjoy the firework display. Weren't overly impressed at the £5 parking charge- especially when we were parked in a muddy field!

Extremely busy day so, for our £30, we experienced 4 rides (Rita, Air, Spinball Wizzer [or whatever it is now called!] and Enterprise) and MANY...

Dreadful place - possibly the ante-room to hell on earth. Having said that, if you are taking your GCSE in 'Great queues of our time' then this is priceless 'cramming'. Have our lives become so devoid of joy that 90 minutes doing a slow and silent conga through a maze is a credible way to spend a day.

What are you on about? I am absolutely disgusted that someone would say that about someone like John Wardley who designs some of these rides. They are made for YOUR pleasure and they get more money to buy more rides for YOUR PLEASURE! You've got to prepare to pay lots of money. However, I can see that it is very costly but if you don't like the entire of Alton Towers you can't like much a tall.

Firstly, if possible book your tickets using Tesco deals, or check out lastminute.com - Alton Towers is an expensive day out.
However, whatever price you pay, if you visit at the right time of year then you are guarantted to have a fab day out.
Being scottish, we had the advantage of visiting through 'half term' (Scottish 'october week') so straight off we noticed a massive difference in the crowds in the park. we had previously visited first week in september and only managed about 5 rides...
