I have never been is it any good?

[Sipowicz]

It was when I went, over 20 years ago!

Went in the late 80s and it was fantastic. Don't suppose I would recognise it these days.

That's bound to be subjective , isn't it ?

[CheekyChops]

Depends whether you like theme parks and roller coasters! I do and I love Alton Towers and go quite regularly but then again, it is only 12 miles down the road from me ;)

[ummmm]

Very good with lovely grounds. Only draw back is the size. It involves lots of walking.

Thorpe Park is very good. The rides are as good as Alton Towers but it's on a smaller scale.

top marks for alton but rather expensive

It's great, but arrive early.

AT is in the middle of a rural area, served by narrow country roads - once the coaches start queuing, you can sit for hours, so get there early to get parked before the rush.

Agree with andy.

For most rides at Alton, their is 2 people per row or car. But their is exceptions.
Air, the flying coaster seats 4 per car.
Nemesis, the inverted coaster seats 4 per car.
Oblivion seats 8 across per car.
Ripsaw seats more than 10 people per row.
Submission seats 4 per row.
