Get there early!!! and download a map b4 u get there so you know where all the rides are, work your way down from the biggest to the smallest also there are options on the rides for single riders, these are shortcuts and if you diont mind sitting away from friends saves hours. Trust me i take hundreds of kids every year so this works. Have a good day!! also look for the castle on the hill side on the road to alton towers, used in Hammer horror films and very scarey!

I meant the 2 for 1 voucher on the pack  :lol: :lol: :lol: but a couple of butties and a flask sounds good to me, best to have a full belly when you being chucked upside down at 200mph and 6 G's  :lol: :lol: :lol:

dont visit the crazy building with the wakky tree if its busy, wastes too much of your time.

They have a big bookcase in there all covered in cobwebs and filled with really old looking books but i pulled out out and it was an 80's maths text book!!!

Just got home, and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! Did all the rides, but the best had to be 'Oblivion'! Went into Hex in the main tower (if thats whats its called), with the cursed branch! Still trying to figure that one out? Those that have been will understand, those that haven't, I dont want to spoil it!  :-k

Rita was unbelievable, once I manages to find my stomach again!!!  :shock:

Was some snow on Sat, but Sundays was mainly dry and sunny!

Cant wait to go again!!! Maybe we should organise a Mud-Club outing there!!!!!!!



Also spotted this too! Anybody on here!!!!!
