Alton Towers

We are off to Alton Towers this weekend for both days.

Has anyone been recently, is it busy at the weekend? I'm hoping we will be fine and will get on everything over the course of 2 days.

I did look at the fast passes but they are pretty pricey.

We went a couple of weeks but during the week and did plenty of rides, what I would say is if it opens at 10 get there just before 9 as they let you in from 9 am so you can get in the queue for something, we went to smiler as we knew the queue would be around an hour all day. Also ride Wickerman later in the day it seems a lot faster, we rode it around lunchtime and then just before park closing and it felt faster.

We went last Sunday. We thought it was quiet - maximum wait was 20 minutes (with the exception of Wicker Man). We got there early - 9 am and headed straight to Wicker Man, and waited for it to open at 10. Once the ride opened, we were on within 10 minutes, but the queue for that ride was pretty long for the rest of the day.

We did over hear someone in the queue saying it was busier on the Saturday.

We've had a wonderful day so far today. Managed to do quite a bit, got Smiler, Oblivion and Wickerman to get done tomorrow. The oktoberfest food and drink booths are great! I had a hog roast baguette with stuffing gravy and apple sauce! We are shattered now!
